>>...the Knicks under Thomas have grown into a competitive, united, extraordinarily resilient team. Whereas Brown alienated most of the locker room, Thomas has restored the team’s confidence and given it a renewed focus.

Eddy Curry is having his best professional season. David Lee has blossomed into one of the league’s best rebounders. And Stephon Marbury, who openly feuded with Brown, has redefined himself as a team-oriented point guard.

Bill Parcells

"You are what your record says you are."

29-34

The 8th best team in the east.

You say that with such pride it's pathetic.

You deserve a perennially mediocre team, at best, with no hope of winning a championship.

Still closer to the bottom than the top.

Haha, can't take your own medicine. I do deserve the Knicks. I did nothing to deserve you though. Maybe you should grace some other team with fandom if you hate the perennial Knicks. Go now. Your boy Dolan didn't listen to you. Isiah is staying. You should man up and leave.

Solace,

Will you say the same thing when we are in 7th place?

If we're below .500, yes. Simple math.

Ahh but 7th place is closer to the top than the bottom.

How are you ok with that? It's ok that we suck because the rest of the league sucks?

Sorry to break this to you but "8th best" is nothing to crow about. It goes more with beng 29-34 than what you are trying to make it out to be.

I bet your bedroom is filled with childhood medals and trophies that your mom saved for you for being "8th best".

I dont get it? Really I dont. Is this childish post some sort of running inside joke I'm missing out on? If so, where is the humor? If this post is legit, I really feel bad for you. Honestly. I appreciate the efforts of Martin and Andrew, but damn this board has fallin' off. This board has become a repository for mentally unstable attention seekers. Or gimmick posters.

I was going by record. We know the east sucks. But you have to play the west, too, in order to win an NBA championship. This should be the goal of every REAL fan.

Ahh but right now they're closer to the bottom than the top of the entire league.

In all fairness, we would only be .5 games out of the 8th spot out west.
A sub .500 record is not something we should be gloating over, but the fact is we have been playing relatively better as of late. Getting playoff experience is a good first step regardless of what step we SHOULD be at. In the post season, the slates are cleared. Any games we could potentially take can only present positive results to this team.
Besides, it's nice to escape from the Curry trade without losing another lottery pick.

It's fantastic. You'll love it there.

Now please go and never return.

I will miss the cute little doggie pics but the board will survive.

Solace - every REAL fan?

as opposed to fair-weather, bandwagon-jumpin', "I want my championship or I'm throwin' a tantrum...", "Dolan sucks", trade all our dreck for all-star franchise players, "Isiah sucks", "Marbury sucks", "Frye sucks", "how can you start this guy over THAT guy?", "I woulda drafted that guy over the guy we got", fans?

just trying to get it clear.

This is why its so puzzling, ask yourself a question.

Are we better than any of these teams next year

Miami-no
Detriot-no
Cleveland-no
Washington-no
New Jersey-no

Is there a good chance next year that these teams are better than us
Atlanta-possibly (if they get a top two no question, and we won't ever catch them)
Toronto-yes
Boston-possibly (if they get a top two no question)
Charlotte-yes (if they get a top two no question, and we won't ever catch them)
Bucks-possibly
Pacers-no
Magic-possibly

So really why he is extended as a GM and President is laughable, by the graces of good we pick up the number 6 seed

From ESPN



Yeah, not many people feel the same way that the posters, who you disagree with, do.

Try realgm.com, I think you'll be very happy there.

Honestly who gives a fluck. A majority of Americans supported G.W Bush in the past...thats a glorified popularity contest and ESPN, and its contingency, has proven to have a strong NY bias over the years. You swayed by others?

I dont have to prove anything to anybody, but this is definitely an unbalanced and overpaid roster with glaring question marks if one were to use a championship level qualifier. That doesnt mean I'm going to act insufferable about things. The 2007 Knicks are not perfect, but its not anything to get on the ledge about.

As far as message boards go, I'm just a fan of balanced, intelligent, and well informed posts no matter the perspective. Take that for what its worth.

Some posts around here are bizarre and dont seem to be grounded in reality.

Fans are allowed to have an opinion. It's the only reason you haven't been executed yet.

Not so laughable as the graces of good.

Now, THAT am funny.

The NYKnicks will be the worst team in the league next year. Thank you MS.

Solace - the only reason I haven't been "executed"?

what is this, the Inquisition?

this thread is getting crazy. so before everyone pulls out their rifles...i have one question to ask...

how cute is norah jones?

A. cuter than Anucha
