The Knicks are on a season-high three-game winning streak, but that doesn't mean the city is about to let Madison Square Garden Chairman James Dolan off the hook for the team's last-place standing.

Especially not Joe Pietrangelo, a marble and granite craftsman from Staten Island whose license plate puts him in the running to be the city's angriest Knicks fan.

Pietrangelo, 27, drives a 2005 Acura with a Knicks vanity plate bearing a special message to the team owner: "FDOLAN."

"Dolan is a piece of garbage, obviously," Pietrangelo said in Brooklyn where he parked near his girlfriend's apartment. "He doesn't really care about the Knicks - he just cares about money. He's not a fan, he's from Cleveland."

Pietrangelo was well ahead of the curve on spreading the anti-Dolan message to the city, getting his license plate five years ago, when fans were chanting for team president Scott Layden to be fired, not coach Isiah Thomas.

The fans' negative feelings toward Dolan intensified greatly this year because of the team's losses and his handling of a multimillion-dollar sexual harassment suit filed by former Knicks executive Anucha Browne Sanders.

"I get people beeping at me all the time and telling me how awesome [the] my license plate is," Pietrangelo said. "Especially now since the Sanders thing - before, people just thought my name was Frank Dolan. But I've hated Dolan for a long time."

Pietrangelo is still amazed that his request for the license plate was approved by the state Department of Motor Vehicles.

"I don't know how they let me get it," he said.

A DMV official said off-color words and phrases are typically screened out and rejected, but the system isn't perfect.

"Once in a while something slips through," the official said.
