I think this thread is sort of sad. Really, there is no point in bitching about the Knicks. You have an owner who seems to hate Knick fans and has no intention of putting a championship contending team out there. The only thing a self-respecting long-time Knick fan should do at this point is to boycott the team until Dolan is gone.
I think what's sad is that Mods felt the need to include Melo and JR Smith in the thread title. Whatever faction of fans are upset with Carmelo or JR should be kept entirely separate from those who recognize and want to call out the real problem -- namely, ownership.
To me, it's sad because it promotes an almost fascist "love it or GTFO" discourse that belittles any serious commentary about the flaws of ownership/management. You can't pigeonhole Dolan hate in the same category as Melo hate or even Lin/Gallo love.
Agree about the mods. Knicks mods are particularly bad right now, with the exception of TKF and nyknicks2k2, who rarely post. Free thought is not something the mods excel at or promote. In fact, a couple of the mods on this board (not naming names but we know who they are) are probably the most intolerant, attacking, baiting posters here. But it's not so different from the first Isiah regime. Posters who complained about the team got the same treatment and most were run off the board. It's just history repeating itself because Isiah is such a divisive figure.
