The excuses are getting tired

[GuyverADL]

so what about when people make excuses for our wins?? is that fair to do??? Like oh we won because Deron Williams was out, and we won because Arenas was out, or we won but really lost because we let the Thunder back in the game, etc.

Well Utah wins with Deron

We lose with or without Marbury and Curry and we have for 3 yrs.

[NoLayupRule]

then you just dont see

you dont see leadership and consistency from the point?
you dont see improvement on defense and sharing the ball from Nate?
you dont see a major shift in attitude from Zach?
you dont see increased effort and confidence from every single player?
you dont see the difference in accountability and quality at the coaching spot?
you dont see a difference between us losing by 50 to the celts vs playing them hard all night?

your hate is childish and blinding. and boring.

Blame Steph and Curry...oh wait, they ain't playin'!

I just got to write that Steph only played in 25 games last season. HIS FATHER DIED!

The Knicks played 50+ games without Steph and there were many nights they would get way down and come all the way back just to lose in the end.

Sort of like last night.

Stop with the excuses. Stop with the stupidness about it being Steph's fault when dude hasn't even bounced a ball during the regular season. Stop with telling me its refreshing to see a change in the team.

News flash...they beat a bunch of weak teams with no point guards. Please remember Sessions and George Hill people, and the Knicks lost those games.

I rather have Steph so if the Knicks lost it would at least be obvious who they would blame.

Go Brooklyn!

who the hell says we lost because we aren't playing Steph and Curry? If anything we are winning with out them (see the winning record)

I mean I have heard it all with this team

- the refs are against us
- david stern hates us
- new coach
- new system
- tired legs
- new players
- injuries(bone spurs)
- extra atmospheric pressure

really we have been losing for awhile now folks. Can we stop making excuses for these guys.

Give us some time, we'll come up with some new ones you're not tired of yet.

Optimus, you need a 1 thread per day creation limit.

The attention whoring posts from pseudofans are tiring

I'm surprised we put up 100 points on the feared Boston defense in their house with Crawford wetting himself on the sidelines. That's impressive. Coach is pretty much saying the if you come to play you'll get minutes and if you don't I'll find someone else to score. Thats the first coach we've had do that in awhile. JVG used to do that but on the defensive end.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm delighted that this team is 6-5 - and is playing an entertaining brand of basketball.

Can you imagine actually watching another season on the brink, like Larry's 23 win gem and Isiah's turd last season? I'd have to enter rehab if I had to go through another season like those.

Dumping is what you do after breakfast.

optimus. .what excuses are you talking about man. Are you telling me, that someone made an excuse to why we are 6-5? LOL.. come on man, You don't belive that...

where does this thread make any sense. People, including yourself were hoping we would be bad this year and most were expecting it.. why would anyone have to make excuses for 6-5?

I learned with this team to expect the worse to avoid disappointment.

Any game we win is one more than I thought we would.

I think we have gone through every possible excuse to lose a game.

Here's a new one:

The pollution in NYC is so bad it makes the players tired by the 4th. Its not the conditioning of the players. It the air.

No wait its the air filters at the Garden Dolan is cutting back plus its hard for the fans to boo or chant for Marbury if they cant breathe.

Expecting the worse and then drumming up BS Threads on why would need excuses when we are winning doesnt make sense and its just plain stupid and attention Whoring

[NoLayupRule]

xactly. and its played out

the Isiah Thomas / GW Bush days are behind us
we need a new era of maturity, insight and realistic positivity on this board.

the old ways of complaining and criticizing and attention whoring are played out, like those who practice them

What did you say about me?

[NoLayupRule]

yes, we'd all like to see that happen to you

[richardhutnik]

This is a team that got the 6th pick in he draft this offseason. A good season for the Knicks is .500 ball and making the playoffs (and yes, lose in the first round). Unless you have a lot of cap space and parts, you aren't making moves. It will take multiple seasons to turn things around. This is the reality and reason for why things are the way they are.

People need to chill a bit here.

people have convinced themselves that this team is improved so they need an "escapegoat". funny thing is i told a certain mod that he thinks there's a conspiracy against us by the refs during the summer and he got very upset and warned me over that. and yet in another thread him and others are discussing that idea as if it's rational. these people are watching the x-files as if it's the history channel.

Major grammer fail. I think its a "scapegoat", not an "escapegoat". ! LOL
