I Don't Even Hate the Knicks Anymore

The NY Knickerbockers are currently sporting a 4-8 record. A .333 winning percentage.

Watching from about age 12 - 22 was a lot of fun. They never won it all, largely because of Michael Jordan's dominance, but they were always a gritty team you could get behind.

Starting with the Patrick Ewing trade it all went downhill. Mostly because of awful cap management (seriously, Scott Layden could work in George W's budget office) but also due to draft picks like that French guy Frederic Weiss, they began a rather quick decline.

The last few years, I have found myself filled with hatred for them. Last year's early optimism was only cause for more loathing.

At this point, I'm all frustrated out. They suck. The players suck, the coach sucks, the GM sucks (and the last two are the same person) - but most of all, and most importantly the owner sucks.

They're terrible, there isn't much sign of a brighter future as long as Isiah and Dolan are there.

Marbury is an asshole, I thinkwe can all agree, and this back-court of him and Francis isn't working.

I don't even watch anymore. They're a boring and shitty team. I sort of find myself hoping they'll just be terrible this year so we can fire Isiah and get rid of these asshole, except for the second team, which is pretty fun to watch (Lee, Robinson and Balkman).

I'm at the point, where I'm not even mad anymore - and some of you probably remember my Allan Houston rant of '05.

New York Knicks, meet apathy. Apathy, New York Knicks. I hope you get along, as you will most likely be spending some quality time together.
