There can be no heroes if there are no villains

To be fair, the Knicks screwed themselves over for a decade. It's up to you whether to take it personal or not.

"This is the third time I've been benched in the second half and it hasn't been under (former coach Scott) Skiles," Jennings said after the game. "You always want to be out there to help your team.
"I don't see any all-stars in this locker room so I think everybody should be held accountable, like anybody else. There's no maxed-out players in this locker room; there's no all-stars. So don't try to put me on a pedestal and just give everybody else the freedom to do whatever they want."
Jennings added that he feels as though he's being singled out.
"Of course," he said. "This is the third time this has happened. We had a sluggish start but we still had a chance to win it. It was there for us to take."

I really can't blame any fan for being disgruntled. There's still no way they should have given up Jeremy. To go from Jeremy's run to handing the team over to JR and Felton -- talent aside -- was wrong.
But the Knicks are having a good season and that's a good thing.
I will always think they went in the wrong direction UNLESS we really push the Heat in a playoff series or at least get to the ECF and don't crap out of that series. A good playoff run will at least partially absolve Dolan of his mistake. We'll know it when we see it.
I have to be honest that I'm with Falstafxx that I don't see it happening. I think JR and the team will disappoint us next month. I think there are at least even odds they lose first round. But it also wouldn't absolutely shock me if they do make a playoff push. I'd bet against it but not with my heart, just with my head.
I'm a Knicks fan, not a fan of my opinions. I chose not to watch last night but when I saw Felton's good statline and Lin's quiet game (not a bad game but a quiet game), I got a sense of relief/happiness because for me, Knicks > me.

Rubio was 5. He's considerably worse than Lawson, Curry and Holiday.

Rubio's playmaking is not as great as you guys think. He's flashy and smart, but Lawson is good enough at making plays and running a team that his offense makes him by FAR the better player.
Pure PG my butt. Give me the better player and it is clear that not only are those guys all way better than Rubio at this moment, but they are very likely IMO to be better in years to come.
Rubio is overrated and will never be a good enough scorer to be a great player (Lawson is near great) and there's really never (not once) been a playmaker so great in the NBA that his offense didn't matter.
Until we see more, he's a bad pick. As was John Wall.

Agreed. His shooting cripples that team.
