No really, they scared now. The cliche of just bashing the Knicks have faded and we really have entered a new day in Knicks basketball. All the old jokes of bashing the Knicks don't fly anymore, the best anyone can do anymore is lol knicks. I mean really, that's the rhetoric that your going to come at us with? It's one thing to have a legitimate conversation or debate, but hell that's hard as hell to find. For example the General Board is now facing an epidemic in which it has never seen before in RealGM history, a good Knicks team.
What people really don't expect to happen is that the collective consciousness of the Knicks fan base is going to start spreading out. We have already seen a ton of new Knick fans come out over the past year, well it's only getting bigger every passing day. The days of little immature kids praising Stephon Marbury as the savior or the hyping of guys like Channing Frye are essentially dead. Now don't get me wrong, we still love our rookies as much as the next team does, but we really don't have to pin our hopes anymore.
Now only from this point out, the Knicks are going to have a legitimate team, but hell we're going to be a good team. I mean it's quite obvious, no matter how you really look at it. While it's been crappy to be the laughing stock of the league for quite some time, those days are over. The Knicks and the Garden are back and it's really going to take people some getting used to because it's been so damn long. Now from here on out what your going to be experiencing is some of these immature fans try to spew the same ole rhetoric, but don't feed into that crap. We have premature fans like every other franchise, don't feed into the nonsense. Lets stay somewhat humble because lets face it, we love proving people wrong.
So lets just enjoy this ride because the good times are finally here, most of us have waited to damn long for this day to come back. When you do go General Board posting, lets show them intelligence does reside in this forum. Now lets go get a damn snack, because we're all back in a NY state of mind.
Lets not get too ahead of ourselves. The Knicks still have a lot to prove. They got swept out of the playoffs last season (haven't won a playoff game since 2003, I think, and haven't won a playoff series since 2001), backed into the playoffs last season, and in their recent preseason game still have a lot of work on their defensive rotation, with limited practice time this upcoming season.
The hate on the general board is a lot less than it use to be, but the Knicks fans can't going on there like they have a top 5 team, when the Knicks haven't proven crap this season. When, if, they start running teams, then we'll have some type of evidence to back up the talk.
It's hard being a Knicks fan...
