It doesn't help that they have a collection of guys that for the most part I don't find very likeable off the court. I was one of those people who thought they should have re-signed Lin, cause it was a good relationship for both parties. This is just a poorly assembled team. Carmelo needs a true number 2, they need a true consistant PG. I just don't see a bright future for a number of years. |

Your point about Lin is well-taken. After all that excitement and optimism, you think that the organization could have found a way, spent the money, to retain him even if he ended up as a back-up point guard. Gosh, the more I think about the Knicks, the happier that I am that I can follow the Rangers this time of year. I will not even follow this statement up with one of those angry smileys; the heck with that. Knicks basketball is too much of a joke as it is, for year upon year.

Heh, perversely, masochistically, I tune into the nationally televised Bulls-Knicks game (actually, my wife wants to watch the Oscars preview coming up after the game). The Bulls are goring the Knicks by 24 points on the NBA Sunday Showcase. I wonder if the NBA is thinking of relegating the New York franchise to D-League. "Sure, hon. I'll turn it back to ABC as soon as the game is over. I wonder what Jennifer Lawrence is wearing?"

This is different than before when they used to stink, cause back then they had a bunch a guys you generally liked but were not good enough.
Now they have talent but are not likeable and they don't play hard. I'm glad at least the Nets have picked it up. |

Exactly. Except for the part about the Nets. I should like them more, now that they moved to the "Island," but I don't. Though I do highly respect them for having the progressive vision to sign Jason Collins.

Do you think Phil Jackson can turn the Knicks around?

Since I'm not optimisstic when is comes to the Knicks I'm going to go with no. I see him trying for alittle bit than when things don't work out I see Phil taking another offer or resigning claiming medical reasons. |

Now that their season is over and they are about to miss the playoffs by a couple of games, these darned bums can spend the summer thinking about the games they threw away by sleepwalking through them. Just a bit more effort in a handful of games, that's all it would have taken. I am so annoyed with this team that I hope Phil Jackson cleans out the whole house.
Unfortunately, that includes Mike Woodson. The coach must take the blame for player laziness and foolishness; it's part of the deal. Woodson knows this. I don't blame Anthony if he leaves for a quality team like the Bulls. Frankly, the Knicks may ultimately be better off without him. But these other slugs: Tyson Chandler, Amar'e Stoudemire, J.R. Smith, Raymond Felton, Andrea Bargnani, Pablo Prigioni, Kenyon Martin - get them the heck out of here or sit their sorry butts on the bench. The ONLY two players on the team worth keeping are Iman Shumpert and Tim Hardaway Jr. Again, I'm not angry with them because they lost more games than they won and missed the playoffs. I am angry with them because I SAW HOW THEY PLAYED MUCH OF THE SEASON WITHOUT PASSION AND DEDICATION. Relaxing and going through the motions against teams like the Bucks and the Sixers, and losing. They deserve to go home, and good riddance.

Time for another wallow in masochistic misery as a Knicks fan! My gosh, they are worse than last year.
Things got so bad last night that Fisher pulled all of the starters in the first quarter, including one Carmelo Anthony. How much worse can this get? They ought to blow up the entire team, including and especially Carmelo Anthony. They won't do that, of course. I cannot watch anymore. Heh, the thread title has taken on different meaning in the last season-and-a-half. Yes, is anybody else (beside me, heretofore) watching the Knicks these days?

Endured that spectacularly bad season, only to see them win a few games at the end and, sure enough, sabotage their draft lottery chances as it turned out.
Now they pick fourth and miss out on the "potentially franchise-altering big men, Karl-Anthony Towns of Kentucky and Jahlil Okafor of Duke." I swear, it seems like 20 years since the New York Knickerbockers did anything right.

What in the heck is wrong with the Knicks, anyway? Current ownership for sure is one thing. I cannot stand it anymore. My gosh.

Don't get too hung up on the first two picks. The Knicks will be able to get a very good player at #4 And the NBA is changing. I don't buy into franchise altering big men anymore. The Warriors won tonight with Daymond Green playing at center. The Cavs have a Russian mummy as their center. It is just not important anymore. And the Knicks need a lot of everything right now. Carmelo looks to be on the downswing and with his knee issues he could be an injury away from being done. Okafor and Townes are good players and will be good players, but even they are not traditional centers. The game has changed to the degree that wing players and athleticism is more important along with shooting. 4th is a good spot to pick in. |
