Therefore you don't have the right to show your ugly head here in the playoffs. 

Piss off (you little fake bandwagon fan). 

Or, I dunno, I can post here if I want and you can stop trying to moderate who can/cannot via personal attacks?

That'd be swell.

How come you didn't post about our Knicks throughout the entire regular season? 

Hm. Fake bandwagon fan, much? 

Waited for the PLAYOFFS?

Absolutely DISGUSTING. 

[Integrity28]

So, anyway. 

Julius Randle catching that over-rated chant today was rough... but, to me  worst part of the game was a missed late 3 by the Hawks. Knicks out-positioned Hawks for rebound 4-1, and the Hawks got it with ease. This game was 2 teams playing at very different speeds. Sometimes games like today just happen... we just “didn’t get off the bus” so to speak.

Was a tough one to watch.

Omg. Your FIRST NYK post of the entire season ???

How pathetic.

Well, I have, but final answer: I’m a bandwagon fan. I’m here to show that I can start paying attention yesterday and still know more that you.

Rutgers,

I hope your take on what we are watching is closer to the truth than my own.  Trying not to be a same 'ole Knicks fan but old habits die hard.

Who knows, I'm probably right there with you. I still believe in Randle and Thibs but it's hard to imagine that Dolan won't cock all of this up eventually given the history. We'll see what they do when the offseason hits.

The Knicks need more perimeter help on both sides of the court. The Hawks were lighting it up from 3 yesterday and the Knicks really didn’t have anyone who could consistently make 3’s back at that them & get open off-ball. 3 & D should be what Thibs looks for this coming offseason. It will also help pull the defense out of the paint or top of the free throw line where they iso’d Randle.

They need shooters but more importantly an entirely new offense. Scoring points for them has been such a grind all year sans the streak, and when the court shrinks in the postseason stuff like that only gets amplified. Not a knock on Randle but ISO ball only works in the playoffs if you have Kevin Durant or Lebron. Signing and drafting shooters will help but IMO when you take a step back and look at the Knicks' season as a whole the guy that makes the most sense for them is Chris Paul.

Sorry big guy. 

I just found it absolutely disgusting how a so called Knicks fan A.) Didn't post about NYK basketball throughout all of 2020-2021 (not a single post) and B.) Had the nerve to quote me during the Playoffs ala someone who's been talking NYC basketball since DRAFT NIGHT.

I mean, there’s very little to take serious here. All I did was put a “kick me” sign on his back.

It was his decision to saw off his legs and re-attach them backwards so he could be sure we all knew he was the #1 kicker.

The affordance  you’re given for personal attacks is directly tied to the amount of pointing and laughing folks do at your expense.

Yeah, it takes awhile for some to realize a knockout when shadow boxing isn’t a good thing.

To be fair I typically only read a couple lines of his post. So if their in the middle I’ll just try harder next time.

Oh, I’m not taking offense. You don’t need to do anything. I just wanted to make the point that he’s not getting away with it because he’s being sly, it’s because he’s regarded as a goofball.

As if you're antagonist post of "ffs" and whatever you Said before that wasn't a little personal attack etc. 

Nothing you say can change the fact that A.) You had literally 0 NYK posts throughout the entire regular season and B.) You only recently posted after our game 4 loss. 

You're a fake bandwagon fan and that's not an attack, it's reality; because posting pattern doesn't lie.

Saying your takes are awful is a comment on your posts. Not you. It’s literally the opposite of personal.

You responding with name calling is personal. Comments about me, not my content.

Savvy?

Perhaps you should stop commenting then? This doesn’t give you license to attack people.

Agreed.  The guy shows an amazing loyalty to people that don't deserve it - Isaiah, bringing Mills (though he's a great guy) back for somebody that refuses to stay the course when things are headed in the right direction.

I came here to see the Sixers, Nets and Bucks were still supposed to be terrified of seeing the Knicks in the 2nd round.  Had to scroll pretty far up to find any actual Knick content.

Knick content:

If Derrick Rose (love him, but seriously) is typically your leading scorer, then you're not built to advance in the playoffs. Yet.
