Miami is doing well this year.
NY media could care less if Wiz win.
Teams don't lose all their games. Wiz won't either. Bad teams beat good teams every year. We lose to Wiz at home to basically a gleague roster. It was bad.

The heat lost to that same g league roster even worse no Bradley Beal ... I get teams lose to bad teams but NYC media has got to take a chill pill on scrutinizing the knicks. I know it sells papers but so will positive story’s. How about Mike Miller’s success man if only he was coach from the beginning we probably would be hovering around 500

That said I still support, there is no where to go but up and being such a prestigious city has to eventually count for something. Durant and Kyrie are bitches and made for each other thinking they can make brooklyn be greater than NEW YORK.

oh maybe that was a rant...bottomline the media needs us so they talk about us.

I've been saying this for years. The media is part of the reason for our failures. They put pressure on the entire organization from the owner to the players. It takes a special person to run this team....and special players strong enough to fight through adversity. The culture that NYC is expecting out of the players doesnt match today's generation. And the owner and GM/ president usually make knee jerk reactional trades or decisions based on media and headlines. And those headlines feed the knick haters and impatient fans. It takes time to find the right FO and players who can survive in the culture, where losing isnt an option....rebuild is near impossible. Everybody slaps high expectations on the FO, coach and players.
While in miami....I believe the weather and taxes are better. Lower expectations....basketball is just a side sport to the main sport of college football. Meanwhile the mecca of basketball.....has the worst team in the last 20 yrs. A laughing stock. Dolan feeling the heat so I approves or pushes FO into a corner. The media is just a reflection of the Dolan circus. The more pressure they apply, the quicker dolan does something that sets this franchise back. But hey, always been an underdog fan....so I'm here.....while still appreciating the great players that pass through the nba.
