Yo I'm IN BUFFALO GIVE ME A TICKET TO THE RAPTOR GAME, I'M ONLY 1 1/2 HR AWAY.

Only have a pair and my wife is in love with Crazy eyes!

i feel the same way. i am also a met and giants fan and i live in the southern part of jersey where philly fans, for some reason, are plenty. so when i go to work i hear it also. it is weird for me because i enjoyed a decade where the philly teams were the worse and the new york teams were better. since around 2000, that has changed. it is frustrating with the only gratification moment is to see the philly teams crash and burn in the playoffs. now that is funny. i think with football and baseball, there is a certain amount of hope becuase the leagues have parity and a team can be great one year and fall the next, especially football. but the nba is'nt like that. the wrong moves can set you back in years. that is our case. we signed and traded for problems that ultimately damaged our team. granted, i still think this team can make it to the playoffs but the fact of the matter is this. layzie came in to retool an already championship caliber squad in 1999. then he destroyed the team. let's face the facts: this team is not going to compete for a championship with ANY of the players we have now. it is depressing when you think that it will take years, 5-10 years, for us to get back to the 90's level of winning when it could have all been avoided.

IMO the last two years has soured fans in several ways. We all have gotten acclimated to this losing and either we simply believe that this shambles of a management, coaching staff and roster will somehow get us over the hump; or end up resigned to the fact that we can't change it and accept reality for what it is, waiting for the inevitable dominoes to fall (as far as management/coaching and roster changes) in order for the team to properly improve.

As far as Nets fans jawjacking, they can't tell me anything. That team NEVER won a title and are looking like the fluke of the last 2 years is over. Especially after losing to the Grizzlies by 47. Anyone under verbal attack by Nets fans can just drop that bomb on them and it'll back them the hell up- guaranteed.

the knicks will win a title in my lifetime. just think of all the diehard cubs fans.

Doesn't look like its going ot happen. The worst part about it is that I don't see any hope for the future. No one can take us on a championship run. Frank Williams cannot win us a championship, Dice DEFINATELY WILL NOT , Milos doesn't even want to play and they wont let Lampe play! They are all good complementary players at this point. There is no hope. None!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
