Would like to thank Martin and Andrew (gosh' a site that actually uses names!) and look foreward to some good Knick conversation. I would like to begin with the article on the front page http://www.nba.com/knicks/inthepaint/nextyear_060420.html. I was most encouraged and surprised by the article. Some of you will remember me from another board, so give it up for me guys!

Marbs or Larry, which side?

you've just sealed your fate... every comment you make from now on will be attributed to your obvious disdain for Marbury & blind arse kissing of LB.

I sealed my fate? Then I'm with Curry, Crawford, Malek, Frye and few of the others. It's a coach team or we don't win. PROUD TO BE A 'BROWNY' NOSE.

Good to have ya. Our noses may be brown but we know how to win basketball games!

Welcome 4949, get rid of them both is the way I see it

I will say this, Marbury was actually doing well, until Q's bro was shot in Chicago, it was at that point that things started to really go down hill. I think Brown started to try and do too much, and Marbury eventually got tangled up, which created this aparent attitude that I feel affected our season. But I won't solely blame Marbury. Everyone has to take a piece of the responsibility of what happened this year. These are professionals, when it comes down to it and they are paid to 'adjust' to problems. There is no place for 'personalities' on this team. These guys are professionals and Brown is the coach. He is not the coach when he has no control of personalities. I think these things where addressed in the article I posted above. I would go as far as to even blaming us fans for not having enough patience for this team to grow.

A very diplomatic answer. I can respect that. So let me axe you question. Whose back you got? Not for nuthing but this thing could get ugly real fast. That's all I saying, just remember where your loyalities lie.

Thank you guys for the welcome. It's going to be a lot of fun!

LB sucks, players suck, but dumping LB accomplishes nothing but reinforce the primadonna mediocrity as OK around here. Therefore its LB up and players down.

somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed today...looks like he could use a daily affirmation...

Marbs or Larry, which side?

Heheheheehe...let's just cut through the chase....There are two sides here, lets get that straight right now....I like that Mart..

Welcome 4949. Let me fill you in on who's who:

Martin / Andrew: they're the site mods. They're pretty fair, not very intrusive -- all around good guys.

Bippity: He's a basketball coach gone mad. He’s all about changing the team’s philosophy and backing the coach.

DJ: This guy is the star of Knicks 101. You might not know it, but he is. He likes crack-induced trade proposals and gives hand jobs on the streets to feed his children. He's been down and out since Jessica Alba won that restraining order against him.

TMS (aka. The Mets Suck): Albeit, he doesn't know much about baseball. He's a strong contributor to the basketball talk. He’ll argue with the best of ‘em too.

Nalod (aka. Dolan backwards, formerly: Neydal, aka. Layden backwards, soon to be: Haisi, aka. I think you got it by now): This guy is funny. His posts are wacky and enjoyable. He has a running thing with Bonn. Which leads me to...

Bonn: This guy is known for throwing around one-line nit-picky posts about other peoples opinions. Nalod calls him the snit. Be careful what you say. Bonn will bookmark it and bring it back at opportune moments to call you on it. Surprisingly, Bonn never sticks his neck out when he says something. He just likes cutting off the heads of people that do.

Islesfan: This guy loves hammering Bonn too. I could not stand Isles for the longest time, but he grows on you (he's got fungal qualities). He hates Isiah Thomas the way Holfresh hates Larry Brown and the way McK1 hates Marbury. As the days go on, Isles early prognostication has become more and more accurate -- chillingly accurate.

Briggs: he's the resident talent scout. This guy knew Amare Stoudamire was a star in the making before Amare was born. He pined for Andrew Bynum all summer long and some folks still rib him for it. He knows a lot about the college game. He's prone to bold predictions. He changes opinions a lot. He'll bug you, but don't let it last -- he's a valuable contributor.

Marv: He's our resident shrink (He really is). He's also the most surprising member of the anti-LB contingent. He might be the only person on that side that gives them any legitimacy. He's also hilarious and an old pervert to boot.

Oohah: No one uses the quote feature quite like this dude. He'll dissect your entire post sentence by sentence to the point where everything has completely lost meaning. If you can resist debating with him you'll be better off.

Killa4luv: I met this guy on the street once. Quite possibly the most bugged out UltimateKnicks moment I've ever had (bugged out in a cool way). He's a very cool dude -- a major Knicks fan like everyone else on here. He might be Marbury's number one fan.

Holfresh: He hates Larry Brown with passion. I don't know what else to say. He really hates Larry Brown.

McK1: He hates Stephon Marbury with passion. I mean, really he does. He loves Luke Ridnour though. When he originally said he'd take Luke over Steph, people laughed. Now, a lot of people think that would be genius.

Blueseats: Single-handedly put together the best case against Marbury I have ever seen. Look at the link in TMS's sig to read it.

Onkbok: If there's a terrible trade scenario to be thought up, Onk is all over it.

Misterearl: This guy should be a Knicks City Dancer. I don't know if there's another poster on the board who has shown more spunk while cheering for a 50 loss team.

rvhoss: He owns courtside tickets to the Knicks and he's not embarrassed to bring it up. Despite dropping six figures a year to watch a bottom dweller, he firmly supports the players that are robbing him blind. He's similar to Misterearl, but a lot less lovable. I give RV credit for being the person who made me love Isles. That was a difficult feat.

Fishmike: This guy's a solid contributor. He likes posting pics of himself in bathing suits and also pics of his wife's buttcrack. When he's not peddling his brand of amateur porn -- he's backing up the coaching staff and calling for major philosophy reforms within the Knicks organization (a lot like Bip, but less crazy).

Bobs: This dude came on the board with a vengeance. He argued with Fish on his way to dropping 1000 posts in record time. He has since mellowed out.

HARDCOREKNICKSFAN: I consider this dude the Mr. T of the board. He pities fools who hate on the Knicks.

Allanfan, nyk4ever, tkf, Longislandknicksfan, OldFan, Pharzeone, simrud, codeunknown, caseloads, woodman, nykbasketball, firefly, NYKniCksFan87, MinsHeartsReezy, s3231, Silverfuel -- these guys are around a lot too. If I don't have a personality profile for them it's probably because they focus more on the b-ball talk and less on the extra-curriculars. Also, I just don't know everyone here as well as I should -- if I forgot you, please don't kill me. It goes without saying that everyone here is a huge Knicks fan. 4949, you found a great place to chill. Now that you have my descriptions of everyone, you've been warned. Continue at your own risk...

(This got way out of hand. I just couldn't stop typing once I realized how many characters there are on here... )
