The Heat are so much better than the Knicks that it doesnt matter what the Knicks do. Michael Beasley has actually made them better--now they can afford to play WAde less and still will get 60 wins.
That is the one thing the Knicks can hang their hat on--the east isnt that great.
Once a Knick....Always a Knick. I don't think any real fan is ever done.
Even though voices of frustration may increase. Thats what these sites are for.
Win or lose, we have a voice...Right now we are losing, so naturally the voices will be bitter.
When we start winning, voices get better.
For the old Knick fans like myself, we might not be fooled this time around with the next Knick run, which I'm sure is coming soon.
I not sure what it will take for me to say Im done..I've been thru some trying years and some heart breaking losses to let this bring me down..I've live thru Rody Sparrow and Louis Orr, the devastating losses in the playoffs..The Bulls, The Heat with the team ejected, the Pacers..How do u walk away from that history..As long as they show up and give effort, that's all I ask..How do I root for another team after that rich history??..Is it really all about the ring??..For me, it's about the journey..Any schmo can be Laker fan or a Spurs fan and say look at how many Championships we have won..Is that the goal??..As long as they compete, I'm good..If I didn't bail in the 80s or 2000s, I'm bailing now???..Who do u root for next??..Washington??..Kevin Grevey and Dandridge used to kills us, Cleveland?? I hated how Ron Harper kissed MJ arse on the court, Naw, here for the long haul, onward..
Imagine the Red Sox fan that bailed..Rich history with guys like Yaz, Tiant, Lynn, Rice, etc..U walk away from that??..Really??
Drama queens. A W would have been nice, but last night's game had more positives than negatives.
I'll never be done. I'm used to the misery. Saw the raiders go to one Super Bowl and lay a big egg. I don't even remember the Ewing years. I watched the mets for 4-5 years but I'm just not a big baseball fan and I have no interest in hockey or ncaa anything. Knicks til I die...

The bad part of last nights game was we played close to our maximum minus Chandler and we still lost> Mimai wins when D wade does not play on the road. When Chandler comes back we still have god awful chemistry with bargs

Mets and Jets? Ouch.
this is pretty common, no? especially for folks from queens and long island.
Very frustrated, but never done.
I enjoyed the Knicks more when we D'Antoni was coaching, Walsh was the GM, Dolan was nowhere to be seen, and we had team players like David Lee, Gallo, Chandler. Ok I hated parts of that team like Eddy Curry, Duhon was horrible, Jordan Hill under achieved, Nate Robinson was a headcase.
But at least Dolan wasn't a visible presence.
I don't mind losing as long as there's light at the end of the tunnel. Right now we have a brain dead coach, players who don't play the right way, no draft picks, not much youth... there's just nothing to like about this team.
It's not the losses that gets to me, it's the direction, it's the ownership, it's that there's no believable plan for the future.
My sig says it all

It was a moral victory!

and Mitches...
Last night: Melo with the continued freak rebounding, JR steals and stops and going to the rack, nice first half for Bargs and KMart.
We showed signs. Hopefully, things get better.
For the queens and mitches on here, a 30 point blow-out win would have been fools gold, and the actual OT loss has no real value. Lose - Lose.
Unfortunately for them there queens and mitches, we didn't manage to give up 50 points in the first quarter and get to watch Cole get his azz handed to him the rest of the way.
For those of you who've once again decided that you're "done", then you probably never really started anyway. Save your self-history whining and moaning and suffering stories for your group therapy sessions.
Don't worry; the real homer Knicks fans will be here when you come crawling back to mitch and moan some more.
Knicks take a Pizz on the Wiz!
I go back to the chips, and I can whine on as endlessly as anyone about Greg Butler and Pat Cummings and Louie Orr and Ken Bannister.
Dolan's a turd, but he's our turd. Live with it. He's not abdicating and all the mitching and whining and drama will not change that.
Stop for a second and wonder who GAF if you don't "give him your money"? Besides you, that is.
MSG was still sold out last night.
The Knicks are still the Knicks. We are not the third world wandering NYC-metro franchise with no fixed address.
"Thes are the times that try mens souls"
Start Beno.
There was a pulse last night.
I don't think you'll be done... just will have a more passive rooting interest. I have went that route and my quality of life has improved drastically

Better than a moral loss! (ha, I'd forgotten about that new catagory that some posters invented last season!)
I just noticed that every team in the west other than Utah has a good enough record to make the playoffs in the east right now!
last night showed me 3 things that need to change fast, Melo playing hard but not smart at all, beno needs to replace pablo in the rotation once felton returns, kmart should be playing f/c rather then small ball..
Last night Melo had 18 muffuggin boards, half a them on offense. We had the game in the bag if not for the Shump snafu grazing PG's arm. That sucked, but if anything, there's some consolation in nearly beating our nemesis from last year's playoffs. It was a great game, even as a tough loss.
I grew up in Manhattan and been a die-hard Knicks homer since the early 70s when my pops took me to games at the Garden. While it's true we haven't bagged a Chip since then, for me that only makes me yearn more. Ewing era was amazing fun to watch, even if we had MJ in our way. Loved it all, regardless of no chip. I know when the payoff comes it will be all the sweeter (Gints in '07 anyone? Sweetest sporting win of all time IMHO, due to the long hiatus from winning that preceded it).
Ain't no quit in being a fan, it's just emotions speaking for themselves, CM. You'll be back as soon as the sting wears off. This ain't cancer, brah. Losing can be cured!
(On second thought, Dolan does seem a bit like cancer, but I am trying to keep me head up)...
This NY Nuggets team discusses me!!! I seen this coming a mile away. We are right back in the Isaiah Thomas era. I sucks being a Knicks fan....
I just asked the Magic Eightball if James Dolan will sell the Knicks
A: "All signs indicate Yes"
The future is all good people!

It doesn't look too far apart.
