Now they call him the worst or a fake fan because he's realistic about this team being trash and he doesn't say what they want to hear.

I hate Knicks fans :lol:

SAS isn't exactly the best analyst but his takes are still better than the average Knicks fan on Twitter, which speaks volumes on how delusional our fanbase is.


If there's anyone that sucks worse than the Knicks suck, it's SAS

Nobody sucks worse than the Knicks. Except those who keep believing, and who as a result rage against their scapegoats to keep their little flame of hope alive.

SAS might be misguided in some of his positions, but at least he knows the Knicks suck.

Chanel woke up choosing violence today. Out here ready to fight over SAS and his hatred for all of us. :lol:


I think a lot of us fans know the knicks are trash and that SAS is a showman.

We are trash across the board.

I would say most Knicks fans keep believing in certain players to maintain some level of hope about the future (or the present).

What's the problem with someone ignoring RJ's TS% and talking themselves into believing he can be Jimmy?

Or Melo delusionally thinking Randle working on his 8pack this summer will help him not be a selfish emotionally unstable chucker?

I’m more annoyed that fans don’t realize that Stephen A is just sports entertainment. His actual opinions on things may be different, but he’s on there to get attention. People calling him a fake fan is funny to me bc the fans are falling right into the trap.

I would say the story should be that the Warriors are in fact missing someone that can take the heat off Curry and can dominate outside of the system as well.

I could care less about his "Knick fandom". I think his whole rating and click driven routine is dumb and a waste of time. Some people find it entertaining. That's nice. There are millions of people who think the Kardashians are really interesting too. Yeah, I'll pass on all the different forms of inanity in the US of A.

Nothing.

Yet everything.

There's nothing inherently wrong about having optimistic, disproportionate or delusional expectations about a player. In fact, it's pretty romantic.

But there's something unhealthy about Knicks fandom when fans hunt scapegoats because someone has to be held accountable and pay for the team's lack of results while their favorites (coincidentally always a young player who incarnates some form of hope) are shielded from any form of accountability. It happened with Al Harrington, Timmy Hardaway Jr (some went as far as emasculating him by calling him Tammy because he supposedly took possessions away from the great unicorn KP who couldn't isolate or pass the ball to save his life), Dennis Smith (booing him mercilessly and chanting for Frank while he was grieving), Elfrid Payton (Kris Pursiainen and others raging against him on Twitter - I was guilty of it to a much lesser degree as well and I regret it), Julius Randle, Tom Thibodeau, Alec Burks etc.

It's all incredibly convenient.

Watching the Kardashians might actually be a better use of time than watching the Knicks and posting on this hellsite.

There's not much stupider than being a fan of this team. SAS and the Kardashians still edge it out though.

That whole long azz paragraph was about defending Burks and you didn't even mention him. I'm impressed. :lol:

And let's be real most of our sht talking is harmless and for entertainment purposes. Now going to games and booing a player who is in the middle of grieving a loss is gross. But talking sht about Elf on realgm for being terrible is FUN.

You sound like a fed trying to take the little bit of joy we have here. What's next you'll want us to be nice to Melo. Where does this end?
