The Twolves are a pretty bad team and they were missing one of their best players. You're not going to convince anyone who thinks the Knicks are beating scrub teams by winning tonight.

Well the wolves aren't a good team. Knicks won, which they should do. If they were a good team they should be winning these games. Guess what, they are winning these games.

But if they were a mediocre team they would also be winning those games, often by close margins. You see the dilemma?

They are not blowing teams out, but this team is much better then it was in the beginning of the year.
We will see next week how they do.

 

[J2 Cool]

Such a bad call by the refs. Miss Boozer getting hit in the face, which should be an "And 1". Give him a tech for saying "He hit me in the face" once and striding down court. I know Boozer's got a loud voice but damn.

Boozer gets slapped and he ends up with a t, I love this rule.

Durant sneezed, and the refs gave him two shots.

but Knicks weren't mediocre last year. According to GAF they were the worst team in the history of basketball. Knicks were 10 games under .500 at this point, they're 14-9 now. Last year in this game Knicks probably get blown out, so you see my dilemma.

Exactly at WHAT POINT can a Knicks fan celebrate a win?

Convincingly beat one of the worst teams in the league when they're missing one of their best players who was shitting on A'm'a'r'e early.

 

[TylerD]

Thunder played good D in the 4th. Too bad they couldn't make any shots.

 

[Branduil]

Rose only had 11 points and they still beat the Thunder?

Wow, first possession: Kings travel.

Stop worrying about celebrating wins, you know you're a decent team when you don't celebrate regular season wins.

You can celebrate whenever you want. Just don't expect anyone else to care.

Yea, odd game. 9 assists, and seemed to control the tempo pretty well despite a bad shooting game. Noah with 6pts. They don't win this game a month ago. Boozer with a 29/11. To be honest, I really liked the way they played tonight. Good win.

 

[KingGondo]

We still haven't looked like ourselves this season. Defensive intensity just hasn't been there, and Durant has yet to get on track.

We'll be OK, but sometimes you have to remember that this is the league's third-youngest team.

I feel your pain. The problem is people hate the Knicks. For whatever reason other than "hatin'" because haters usually hate good teams, teams with a diva like player or the amount of money a franchise use to get players.

Knicks have sucked for a decade. We have likable players. Hawks have the worse FA signing this side of Jason Werth and we are under the cap.

The answer is this. Until, and only until, the Knicks string a few winning seasons under their belts, a couple of playoff appearances and even a few playoff wins and maybe winning a round will the Knick hate subdue a bit.

We are still learning. We are still growing. We had two rookies in the Staring lineup. Wilson Chandler was as good as gone all summer, MELO/CP3/LEBRON. Felton getting the grasp of the PNR offense, Shawne freed..i mean give us a break. Sure we aren't blowing out teams we should, but we are winning. Next week will test us and i'm sure we will lose a few but i'm certain we will play hard and keep the games close enough to make some plays to win or lose it at the end.

You can celebrate them now. A win is something you get happy over, no matter how good or bad your team is.

If your question is "when can Knicks fans start calling the Knicks a good team?", then the answer is "the playoffs."

Oh no doubt. That's why I've repeatedly said since September my goal for the Knicks is .500, since .500 probably means the 8th spot and playoffs. Even to this point the most homeristic point I've made is Ray Felton might have a shot at the ASG. MIGHT. :lol

They still shoot too many 3's but they're a young fun team to watch. No one is seriously saying Knicks = #1 seed or any crazy shit. Sometimes I don't get the way the non-trolls think.

Truth hurts. Although Sharp is right, my bad there.

Laker fans (some, the ones you're referring to) also want bynum to cum on their face.

Also, as i said like 20 pages back, celebrate, but no need to make giant un-backable declarations. Though, it was the wolves, i wouldn't go TOO nuts. If you're a good team, you're meant to beat them.

At least nine Packers players attended the game, including quarterback Aaron Rodgers. … Former Knicks F Latrell Sprewell also was courtside

true, I guess some of my reaction is that I half expected the Knicks to lose vs. Minny. For some reason they looks awesome on the road yet play poorly at home, plus I figured wolves got alot of players back who didn't play last time + I thought Turiaf wouldn't play.

We have never given shit to Lakers fans about their over-exuberance. Nope. Not ever.

Who was the guy in here who honestly thought the Bucks had a chance against the Heat? A 70% there Bogut cannot get it done by himself. And Jennings looked awful.

Very much looking forward to Wednesdays game against Utah. Our reborn Bosh is gonna give something fierce to Millsap and Kirilenko, oh and that other guy too..........

Knicks look like a .500 team (that means anywhere from .400 - .550), you'll beat some decent teams, you'll lose to some teams you shouldn't. Might sneak in at 8th seed (or in the east, 6 - 8). It's either cause for constant parades and champagne (considering the knicks last decade...) or for hoping for some magical development from a rookie or a block buster trade waiting to put you over the top, while you enjoy some wins.

The suns this year look exactly the same.
