The media, sports radio jocks and their listeners, Knick fans here are all happy and giddy about being 6-6. Uhh, I have news for you. There is a team out west that is 12-0. Their fans are happy and giddy and rightfully so. Six and six...and happy? Insane.

Folks, I guess you don't get it. We have lost half the games we've played in! Are you happy to eat half a Thanksgiving meal? Are you happy to see half of JAWS? Were you happy to see Bargnani play half a season for us in 2013? Of course not. Real fans want it all. We want a full meal, we want to see the shark explode, we want to see Bargnani play a full 82 for the Knicks.

We are 6 and 6. We lost half our games! Anyone who is happy obviously has half a brain.

My point is this, you can't be happy with half. I know Bargnani is the easy guy to bash, but he only played half a season for us in 2013. Durant did that last year for OKC . Do you see their fans bash him?

Durant should have gotten bashed too. He is no better than Bargs and should not receive any preferential treatment. Durant wasn't even a number one pick. And he is skinnier.

I like Durant. I'd put him as one of the greatest to ever play. He seems a decent guy, his play is spectacular. He's already reached that Derek Jeter status of never to be bashed.

Because last year, after our first 12 matches, we were 3-9.

Plus, in those 6 loses, the Knicks player really well against playoff teams.

So you are happy because we are better than last year??? Last year we were the worst team in Knick history! Being better than that is really setting the bar low for happiness.

We are 6-6, let's all be happy! Yeah! So now the A-list stars will be back at the Garden. Taylor Swift front row again. Remember she was there last year on opening day when we were 0-0. She likes .500 teams. She's happy with .500 teams.

Folks, this is what you are -- Taylor Swift.

Not one of your better efforts, FW.

You look at who we played, how we played, and the combination of injuries, rookies, and new teammates on this roster, and you realize that 6-6 is not a bad start, even though it could have been better.

I agree 6-6 is not bad considering new group of guys, teams we have played.
I just don't like this happy groundswell. In the East we are sitting 10th right now out of 15 teams. That's lousy in most books.

The Knicks brought in 8 new guys and had 5 return. Only one guy returning was a first round pick and only two of the returnees were nba draft picks. It was as close to a complete rebuild as could be done. The schedule has been tough and this group of guys like each other, play hard for each other and already have a chemistry on the court. You could make a convincing argument that the Knicks won the Hornets game if the clock was managed correctly. Also, the cavs had a 5 point swing on that travel call on Anthony when James was having his body slap party in the paint.

If you ran a marathon for 20 years and always finished dead last, you would be estatic to know you are currently in the middle of the pack, passing up several players that usually finish towards the top. You would be running with a huge smile on your face, thinking about your huge improvement from last year. I doubt you would be disatisfied with your performance during the EARLY start of the race. In fact, your family and love ones would've created multiple threads about you having a chance to finally finish near the top this year.....Eventhough you are only 10 minutes into the race.

Sit back, grab some popcorn and watch the Porzingis show! Enjoy yourself for once. It's been a long time since we had this much promise and youth on the same team. You can finally wipe off that old grumpy frown, and smile for once. Say good morning to your neighbor! Do some bird watching. The Knicks are back baby!

They said this team was gonna suck again only not quite as bad!!! This team does not suck! That's an early win. Now this team has to keep building off of this just as the Warriors had to BUILD to become what they are now! They didn't just magically transform in one season! As usual it's all about PERSPECTIVE!

Hot. Mega-wealthy. Absolute top of her field. Front row seats at the Garden.

Okay, I'm Taylor Swift.

Cool.

Basketball is just entertainment. Just a very very small part of my life.
I enjoy watching the occasional game and am stoked for the future with our young guys, but

If it affects your happiness level so much, you need to look into your life. Not basketball.

You seem to be obsessed with saying people on these boards are like attractive blondes (first Supergirl and now Taylor Swift)- it's a bit weird...

Going from an un-watchable team to a watchable team will bring a smile on my face. If I see improvement from last year debacle then I will have a smile on my face.

We're not just better than last year, we're much better. And remember 6-6 was done with a tough schedule. Rome wasn't built in a day, but this season we've took a very big step forward.
