No reason to argue about it bro, we'll see in a few months. I think I have a pretty good sense of the mood of the Knick fan base after being a diehard for nearly 30 years -- and it's going to get ugly is my prediction.
Just a prediction but it will soon be the truth. No reason to debate it though. We'll find out won't we. Melo will be the whipping boy, I'm clearly on record.
As far as "competing for the division" ... that's not my goal nor the one of most Knick fans. NYers are not happy with second best.
If we are winning games is it going to get ugly? You really think that if we are winning games and on pace to finish as a high seed in the East, the fan base is going to be sitting around stressing about jeremy lin? Unless lin turns out to be a superstar on the level of a Deron Williams or CP3, that won't happen. Lin won't ever even by on Kyrie Irvings level now, let alone those guys.
And like I said Melo is ALREADY the whipping boy. He caught hell all last season for trying to play in D'antoni's garbage system, played injured, dominated at the end to get us into the playoffs, and clowns like you still ride him to death..."become" the whipping boy?
