Briggs....you are good for this site. You keep that fire going.....which is good for some....annoying to others. But don't change.
Interesting that u picked those three teams.....They went through some true rebuilds. And now the fans are happy.
Our problem is we have more knick fans like Briggs who 1 day are patient......then mid season they want to be relevant again. This up and down frequency coming from fans.....news media....ny fast life culture.....and Briggs....is why those teams are now relevant and we continue to get stuck in mud.
For years back when we used to make the playoffs consistently.....I said we are killing this franchise. knocked out 1st round.....terrible low 1st round picks......hard to find a franchise player picking in the late 20s every year....Especially when our picks have been mostly roll players or below. I don't think the knicks ever had a true rebuild.....Im talking players....coaches.....GMs.....culture.... Everybody......We continue to keep left over managers or coaches or some combonation.....buddy boy toys hand picked by Dolan....etc.
The knicks to knick fans is like the US justice system to people of color. They continue to focus on symptoms and not the root cause. "Dolan will not fire Dolan"
The path we on now is better than what I've seen in the near history of this franchise. But as soon as we get blown out by 30.....Briggs is our reflection on the type of pressure these guys are on.....What the he'll JH suppose to do......Just like Fisher when he was here. Fisher finally got the team to win.....and he got drilled for it......by everybody......eeverybody......eventhough it allowed us to pick KP....We should be thanking Fisher. But JH is under the same pressure.....which is really dumb if u think about it. We want him to win.....but lose the game. Then down him for his coaching. If he starts winning....he will get killed. NY is a hard culture to win in.....
Management will confuse to float between relevancy and non relevacy...cause of Dolans mi$$ion. Dolan cares about his money as much as the team winning. If he can over pay for star players to get the same investment return compared to losing money by sucking....just to make the playoffs?
NY will never do a true rebuild.....Getting Mudiay who was picked in the top 10....for a second round pick. Add in burke....dotson....etc.....thats nys version of a rebuild. my problem is we still have leftover losing management....coach....so the culture never changes......just the players while the fans suffer.
