Good job of maintaining your composure throughout that long thread. Don't ever take the hater(s)
bait.

Earl is one of us...just one of those guys carrying the torch, who understand what it means to he a Knick fan over the years....Those new jacks/haters hasn't live through the Rory Sparrow, ken "the animal" bannister, Louis Orr, etc days..
They don't understand why we can look at this team and have hope...

Nuff props to Misterearl...Keep it going bro...

If carrying the torch means ignoring simple truths, like the salary cap matters, then have fun.

Sparrow #2, Bannister #1 and Orr # 55 in your program. Please, one has nothing to do with the other.

btw, this is a bait thread.

Oh I know. But more importantly it's another opportunity to call out misterearl since he avoided answering the simple question in the other thread. Like a scared little girl.

Neal Walk # 41, Dependable Dean # 7, Butch Beard #9, Henry Bibby #17, Jerry Lucas #32 and I didn't look those up, I promose...Knicks was in salary hell before Isiah got here but you don't care....There were about 8 guys on the roster who are no longer in the NBA three years removed but you don't care...You tunnel vision only lets you see what you want to see...While this team ahs gotten younger and could be under the cap in two years if nothing is done...All you want to do is pout and complain...It's boring now bro...It got old quickly...

All I heard was: "Wahhh, I'm in my 40's, Wahhhh, Wahhhh, Wahhh".

djsu - if this is a bait thread then I'm a just a sucka (and honored) for just wanting to hang out with cats like you and JesseDark who bleed orange and blue.

C'mon, if I could be in section 404 every home game, we'd share the agony and the joy, and at the end of the night go have a hot dog on seventh avenue on the way to The Subway.

Holfresh knows that things go in cycles. If some of us have hung tough through the brief episodes of Mel Davis, Kenny Walker and Neal Walk...

...then how tough could watching best friends Channing Frye and David Lee, or Eddy Curry and Jamal Crawford - reach their peak years together - (with the addition of new players that no one can predict) - actually be?

Thanks for the props but, dealing with the puppy-strength-piss-poor-anti-Knicks venom, spewed by those who will go unnamed, is nothing compared to rooting for the Knicks in the old Boston Garden, The Omni, The Spectrum or Chicago Stadium, all of which I have done...

... and done without fear.

(rock on 'til the break of dawn) ...on an' on an' on an' ON...!

...like a hot buttery pop da pop da popcorn!

Misterearl you have no INTEGRITY.

You should have answered the ? by now

When guys like woof-woof and true-bloser question your intelligence and integrity, you know you are on the right track.

I am simply amazed those 2 have so many computer privileges at the group home! Swanky!

oohah

How respectful is it for misterearl to dismiss every poster who dares to mention the Knicks salary cap, with his flippant "It ain't your money" comment, when it now appears that he thinks that getting Anderson and Houston off the cap "should help"?

Keep making misterearl out to be the victim because he refuses to clarify his comments.

Be a man and explain yourself misterearl or forever change your name to missesearl.

I'm not a true hater in the Isles sense, but I am one of the more critical voices on this board ... and I am a veteran of the Sparrow, Bannister, Orr days (I go back to the mid-1970s with the Knicks). Hey, don't forget that Sparrow and Orr were key parts of the 1983-84 team that took the Celts to Game 7 of the second round. That was a team coached by a man (Hubie) who got every ounce of talent out of his players.

Anyhoo, while I can also have hope regarding this team, it does not mean I can't at the same time hate the owner and criticize the GM/coach.

I think one of the things that some people on this board forget is that while we all have different opinions and different ways of expressing them, just about everyone who posts here, and certainly those who post regularly, are pretty diehard Knick fans. It's just that some are disgruntled diehards, and others are satisfied diehards.

Is it me? Or did conversing with class and fraternal respect go out the door with the dawn of the digital age?

There was disrespect before the dawn of the digital age and there has been respect since then. It's never so much about the era as it is about the people.
