It's a reason why In have been posting less and less. It was very volatile here, even before the Lin thing. The Lin fiasco put things over the edge, though. We had people calling each other fake fans because they were upset over the loss of Jeremy Lin. Really? So I'm a fake fan because I'm mad my team didn't re-sign a good player? There has been a 'no-criticism' mentality around here lately for absolutely no reason. We haven't accomplished anything in 12 years but people are getting offended if you criticize Dolan, Grunwald, Woodson, etc. Nobody's perfect - certainly not this organization - and it is always open to criticism.

All that being said, I'm ready for the season to start. I've missed basketball dearly. I can't wait to see how all these new additions work out and if all the old guys have anything left in the tank. Let's do it!

The tougher East. I think this Knicks team is setup to really be much improved. Things make sense now from top to bottom. The identity is clearer. Talent is improved. Forget about the past and just look forward to what this team does this year. This team more than ever looks like an old fashioned Knicks team. Tough D and tough Players up and down the roster. Glen and Woody seem to make a good team.

thanks for the welcome.

Rejoice- media day is tomorrow, lets hope this season is a good one!

A minor fact constantly overlooked by some of the haters on the board.

At least as training camp approaches, the negative Knicks threads and pro-other team threads have decreased to 10%. A great step in the right direction.

Interior Defense! Consistency! Health!(please, oh please!) 3's! Finishing at the rim! PNR's galore! DreamShake post moves from the entire front line!

Go Knicks!
