Greetings Knicks brethren. Thought I'd do the cliched "Hi I'm new here!" thread.

Got plugged into the Knicks during the teeth of their wars with the Bulls and have ridden the roller-coaster of insanity as much as you all have. The highs (The Dunk, the '99 Finals run, Houston's game-winner) and the lows (Charles Smith's futility, 2-18, Riley's exit, all of 2000-on).

I have to say, I'm happy with the team we've got going forward. We may have gone 1 for 2 on the big-game free agency safari, but I'm not sweating it. We're rid of bloated contracts for mediocre players, have a strong youth movement, a true beast down low who is actually happy to be here and some cap flexibility to score another big fish.

I also don't mind the Triumvirate of Douches that has formed due south from us. The Knicks have been underdogs to a stacked Heat team before and who knows if the future holds another shocking upset or two? At the very least, Miami has cornered the market on a-hole divas, making them the most hated team in the league, freeing the Knicks up to be lauded giant-killers. Hopefully.

Anywho, this seems like a fun board. Look forward to hanging. Thanks and here's what I picture the challenge is like for the 2010-2011 Knicks season.

This is brilliant. That's my favorite scene from "Mike D'Antoni and the Holy Sell Outs".
Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.
