haha sorry ...but on a more serious note i was at todays open practice and whenever they announced Houstons name most of the crowd booed him and i was getting pissed off and i felt bad for him, he's a great guy and these people dont realize what he has done for us over the years, last year was really the only year where he was injured. Its ridiculous that people continue to hate on H20, its not his fault he got that crazy contract.

Oh come on, it was great! I was loving every second of it. At first I was under the opinion that most Knick fans love Houston but now I am know that its only the Knick fans on this board that over rate Houston so much. He got a huge contract but he got it because he was very good in 1999. All his great moments that won big games for us or where he is driving the ball to the hoop and playing defense on Reggie are from 1999. Just like TMS keeps pointing out, 1999 was Houston's best year not 2002. 1999 was Houston's contract year and he was never much of a guy that drove, played defense of passed the ball after that year.

He deserved every single one of those boo's. I love New York sports fans because they know exactly what they are doing. Another thing is how much some people on this board trust Sweeney. I like him too but IMO, he will not be a very effective post threat. I think we will see his best year this year and I have the patience to wait and see. But if we get the feeling that he cannot deliver much in the post, we should just cut our losses.

The Houston booing was classic. I will remember that for the rest of my life. It was great to be there and find more Knick fans like me that are annoyed with Houston and his lack for dimensions. We thought we were getting the Houston of 1999.

I can tell you right off the bat Silver is a HUGE Ewing fan. There's reason to boo Allan. There is no reason to boo Ewing unless you are the stupid new york media doing it.

I think he is saying that New York sports fans were booing Ewing too and they are not right all the time. Ok they were wrong in Ewings case but they are right in Houston's case. Like he said, they are not right all the time.

Another thing. Crawford had a 50 point game too I am having too good a time after going to open practice. The guy did enough for this team already and everyone that loves him, loves him and everyone that hates him does not. Its time for the Knicks to move on.

i am really glad u posted this thread cuz i just posted in the Practice thread how pissed off that made me

Houston is not perfect, he gets paid WAAAY too much, he is one dimentional... he can be soft at times

but in NO WAY does he deserve to be BOO'D i mean get the **** outa here

he came thru in too many clutch situations for us

YALL MUSTA FORGOT

MARBURY WIT THE STEAL.. HOUSTON FOR 3... BAAAAAAAANG TIE GAME

stfu and save ur boos for shandon i dont want to hear a peep out of none of u when houston hits a game winner in the playoffs this year, boo then

In NY, "It's what have you done for me in the last ten seconds?" There are a lot of pros and cons of NY fans. Impatience and a poor memory are two of the cons, but IMO they're outweighed by the pros.

On this board, where the fans are much more knowledgable on average than the casual fan at games, I suspect that 99% of the posters would not boo Houston.

Wait a minute.... they booed Allan at Open Practice???

He's gonna have to step up big time, or else.
(He better, especially since I got him in my fantasy draft!)

We booed ewing, we boo the ones we love.

7000 hardcore fans and they boo allen. It was free, so lots of knuckle heads got to sit in the fancy seats and show what they are made of.

I once heard if you redistributed all the wealth amung the masses, it would not take long for it to get back into its origional owners.

boo allan, nice.

going to a FREE open practice & booing a player who's done more for this franchise than any other player on the current roster is disgraceful & moronic.

if you had paid your way in, & you didn't like the way the guy was playing, fine...i'll give you that...but to boo him when he's not even playing & the fact that your cheap ass didn't pay a red cent to get into the practice to watch them play is beyond stupidity!
