I never thought i would be ashamed to be a knick fan, I heard wittman tell his team (when the knicks cut it to 5 with 6 mins left) just put a little pressure on them, they'll crack like eggs, The entire team started laughing. The jokes were endless, i had to get up and go to the bar to join my buddy, who never came back to his seat after the first half..

THjr is not to blame for any of this. He will be fine once the Knicks stabilize and stop the bleeding. That 70 yo moron in front of you is a typical NYK fan, with a typical NYer attitude of "What have you done for me lately". There is very little patience or willingness to endure rough stretches while preparing for the future. That's why we never get better.

This isn't the NFL, where you only need to win three games to make it to the Finals. You need a team built for consistency in order to make it through three 7 game series.

I trust Phil to be patient, to block out the noise and focus on building something with lasting value. Phuck that dude at the Garden. HE IS THE PROBLEM!

Hardaway Sr. admits he put too much pressure on his son and that he almost ruined his career and his family in the process.
“I wanted him to play like I played,” Hardaway Sr. said. “I wanted him to take the game seriously — not saying that he didn’t — but I wanted him to do more. I was tearing up the family and I wasn’t having fun. I wanted him to enjoy the game of basketball and what I was doing, I wasn’t letting him enjoy it and I wasn’t enjoying it either.

What i get from this is that he was trying to turn his son into more than a one dimensional player, which is what he has become, and he would rebel, which is why fisher keeps yanking him. I watched him a lot in college, and his erratic shooting, disappearing acts, and no effort on defense have not change at all, and he doesn't seem to understand that. He has the potential to be a very good player, just like shump, but who has 4 to 5 yrs before(and we can only pray)that happens.

It's similar to Amare's defense or Melo, they never taking it serious or pride themselves on it, you can see these traits early. Has JR smith become a consistent player over his 10 yrs in the league, how much better has he gotten since he's been in the league..not much. The guy still doesn't pass, or rebound, he gets the ball and he's looking to score.

The only kids on this entire roster that i think will get much better is Larkin and Early. I like cole but I think he's almost at his ceiling.

Nobody on this roster other then Melo will be a starter on any roster in the NBA, not now, not next yr or the yr after that.

He makes no effort to rebound the ball, and he is not as active as I thought he was going to be moving without the ball. He is very talented, but he must show that he wants it. I would give him until next season. He is way too much in lost with his offensive game.

fair enough .... next season it is
