I advocated mightily for acquiring AD but not at any price. There were honest value for value transactions that, in a less disingenuously run NBA, could have worked without depleting the Knicks roster.

Its water under the bridge. Why anyone would flog the Knicks for trying and not being taken advantage of in that regard is just being an A-hole.

The journalism school at Columbia recently did a study of whether Trump was treated fairly in the NY Times. What they found was that Trump got more coverage than any other administration by multiples. He appeared in places President's never get covered - all sections of the newspaper and all feeding a hungry biased audience. Bashing Trump sells papers - it ain't about news.

Likewise, bashing Dolan, the Knicks, the players who trip up, the players who spell a word wrong, the losses, the wins (that they don't deserve by their standards), and so on ALL SELL PAPERS. The MSM don't hate us, they pay their mortgages by bashing us.

Ultimate Knicks, Escape from Elba, RealGM/Knicks, J Macri, and a handful of the rest of us who blog are the Fox News alternative to that commercially driven hate meme. We're even fair and balanced (see: Rainman).

Predictably, the TNT studio buffoons were cheer-leading for a Mavs blowout. Miller nearly had an orgasm during the game when Doncic nailed a few threes from one of his favorite spots and later in the game projected the Mavs would streak. The post-game sounded like a bunch of drunks at a bar after all the women have left - nothing to be macho about.

We are a half-season away from being relevant. This isn't about patience anymore, its about putting it together. As fans we can see that a big part of this team's identity for success has to be defense - and it looks like we're heading in that direction.

But the other part of our identity is not as rabid dogs but as underdogs. If, in the first half of this season we can turn the corner in winning games, the team has a puncher's chance of making the playoffs. That has to be the vision and the motivation - just F'n win and to hell with the MSM.

They will ride the story that generates more clicks and when people are down on the Knicks, they will just feed the fire.

Our management still makes their job too easy with their incompetence.

Bryan is blaming Frank and and he isn’t even in the game.
