Agreed. It makes for entertaining follows around the league most nights but damn it’s frustrating when it’s your squad that lays a dooker.

True dat.
Days that end in Y unfortunately for most Knicks fans like me.

:dhd:

They are in a weird shituation. There are many good players, potential coaches & GM candidates alike out there who don't want to play/work for the Knicks based on who the owner is, and also for some of the things he's said and done in the past...while others just don't want to play there because of the magnitude of being under the lights and microscope of NYC and the tough media there. Ironically, most visiting teams/players look forward to playing and thrive there because of it. MSG is the "Mecca for hoopers.

That said: some call it a jinx or a curse, or even karma..and there might be some truth to that. It just seems they struggle to get over the hump of mediocrity year after year..and when they do become a better, serious and watchable team every now and again it's short lived and they revert back to their old ways like clockwork or by design. There's no consistency from top to bottom other than being fundamentally lacking too often for their own good.
I made a remark in here during last night's game about momentum, which applies to the franchise as well.
(the object of momentum is to keep it once you get it....not to give it right back)
It just is what it is...an enigma.

As far as me goes...I'm totally good. :thumb:
This isn't some life changing tragedy or anything lol.
The thing about being a fan of any sports team, is how you ride with them through the good & bad times.
Do you bail on them when they underperform time and time again?..or hang with them no matter what?
For me it's the latter....always been, thru thick & thin.
posted in past , win or lose, compete!!!!

I try to watch, but lose patience easily when you know already what is going to happen.

Some players get paid and then don't have the drive that got them there. Seems the case here.

Doesn't sound like that at all.

He's also first year off an acl tear.

He doesn't mesh well with Beal, and he's unhappy as the 3rd/4th option when he was brought in to be the 2.

Which is more about bad GMing...but I digress.
