Someone please create a website and start an internet signature campaign asking every Knicks fans to stop attending Knicks' games until the management learns to respect the fans

I wonder how many signatures the site will receive in a month.

Enough. It makes you look bad to lose of purpose. The point is to win games, not to give yourself better posistioning for a draft pick, that, A) Doesn't guarantee a good pick, and B) Doesn't mean that the player chosen won't be a bust. So I'm going to take what we can get, and try to have some fun in the meantime.

but you have to look at the statistics and they see that the majority of the star players and hall of famers are selected in the top 6 not 12th. like someone else said, the difference between picks 5 & 9 is the difference between Wade & Sweetney. I don't know why thats so hard to understand!

Its crazy how you "alleged" knick fans want the knicks to lose so bad. what kind of message would the knicks be sending ariza, sweetney and butler. oh were out the playoffs so we can lose now. bulls***!!! yeah i would like to see the young trio get more minutes but you act like theyre wont be a summer league. and dont tell me lets lose for a better draft pick. if isiah can draft ariza with the 43rd pick, imagine what kind of talent he could draft in the first round. STOP LOOKIN AT MOCK DRAFTS, THEY DONT MEAN NOTHING. JUST ASK LUKE JACKSON AND RAFAEL ARAUJO.

Classic. That reminds me of one of my first ever posts back on MSG, and I got absolutely trashed for it. You are headed to wonderful places in the message board world my friend.

wow.... was rafael araujo the player briggs was all geeked up on raptors had to get cause they needed a center?

oh well...i guess bosh didn't mind the draft bait

which ultimately comes back to whether Dolan will ever sell this team. until the public makes a stand instead of being swindled with smooth talk like you said this will forever be the dumbest organization in sports. There's not much the fans can do and even if true Knicks fans got together and protested in front of the Garden one day the seats will still be relatively filled every night with passerbys.

Now if we had the media backing us up things would get done, management would listen but for whatever reason the media keeps writing "Knicks will not go down without fighting DESPITE being officially eliminated from playoff contention"

I think eventually we're going to start seeing articles about how we need to blow this thing up and when a #1 draft pick is there to be hand as a consolation prize for a horrific season the mediocre overrated and overpaid Vets need to have their minutes decreased.

the Media is still years away from realizing that the last time we were good was when we drafted Patrick Ewing with the number 1 pick. Eventually they are going to realize that the only way they are going to become a constant playoff contender is going to be when they draft the next ewing, shaq, lebron, duncan.

The general public only listens to what they hear from the media. So it is imperative that the media voices the opinions of true Knicks fans. Then not only will they sellout every game but they will have a person in every seat in the Garden. The way it used to be when we DRAFTED Ewing and had a decade of success financial success and were the talk of the town!

UGH I feel so sick right now!!!
