Good stuff Robert. I would love to see a tweak to the unis (hate the v-neck, overlap thing going on) but would probably hate a color change even more. Those colors are uniquely the Knicks’ (if you dont count the thunder’s attempt). The flagships need their own color scheme – no one is running around in forum blue and gold but the lakers. No one wears celtic green but the celts. If we change to blue silver and black or whatever, who’s going to be able to tell us apart from utah, dallas, memphis, etc etc. That would be terrible. One correction, the Mets colors did NOT come from the flag — they took one color from each of the baseball clubs that had left NY. Royal blue from the brooklyn dodgers and orange from the ny giants. The more you know…

‘I hope something good happens this offseason, the Garden fans definitely deserve a winner…”

Every time I watch the 4th quarter of a meaningless home game and hear the fans chanting “Defense!” and going nuts for meaningless 4th quarter rallies, I just shake my head. I really don’t think you can name another NBA franchise that would have that kind of crowd passion and a record of 29-52. In fact, some winning franchises’ crowds aren’t that loud.

Regarding Garson’s point about how we should be rooting for the Cavs to get a championship, we’ve had this discussion here before, and I really don’t think he would leave after winning a title. More likely he would look for multiples a la Kobe and Jordan. Best case IMO is for a crappy flameout in the 2nd round and having his supporting cast come up small. Which means I have to root for the Celtics – ugh…

It seems like from recent posts that the public opinion on this board is the we are rooting for Lebron to NOT win a championship this season.

However, I think we should be rooting for the opposite. He publicly stated the following:

“I got a goal, and it’s a huge goal, and that’s to bring an NBA championship here to Cleveland,” James said. “And I won’t stop until I get it.”

IMO , the best chance for us landing LBJ is him feeling accomplished in Cleveland , feeling no remorse for his upcoming departure to our Knicks…

LETS GO CAVS!

Good to see you Owen. Hopefully you can pen a long obit if Lee goes elsewhere.

BTW, if anyone watched the “Gimme a Minute” feature during last night’s game, Matthew Modine flat out LIED w/r/t LeBron.

Just watched a bit of the Knicks in 60. It seemed like every time I looked up Lee was canning a jumpshot. I am glad that he had a good game in possibly his final outing at the Garden and it was cool to hear the crowd chanting his name. Crazy to think Lee probably won’t be a Knick next year, he’s basically the only reason I have watched these past four years. I remember arguing about him here back in 06. He has come a long way, unfortunately the Knicks haven’t…

I hope something good happens this offseason, the Garden fans definitely deserve a winner…

I was at last night’s game – I had the pick between that one and the Celtics one (company seats) and I chose the Wizards, figuring it would be a win.

So after the Celtics win and the sloppy beginning to the game, it sure didn’t look good (and the people who got us the tickets were giving me guff).

Thank goodness for Gallo!

And the “extras” were cool, too, since it was fan appreciation night (T-Shirt, mini-insulated lunch bag, we got to see a Red Panda Acrobat, who was pretty awesome, etc.).

with or without bosh?

the raptors took one game against cleveland this year (thanks to the bargnani-shaq missmatch) and stayed in the game closely for 2 other games.

the bulls had boen gordon on fire last year…this year they have not…

Also, Z, I would rather have the Bulls play the Cavs in the 1st round than the Raps. Neither has a chance to win the series, but the Bulls would make it tougher on LeBron and Co., maybe like they did last year to the Celts. I think the Raps would roll over.

one last thing: we need to stay away from calderon.

I watch toronto a lot, and believe me, he’s no steve nash.

he doesn’t have dribble penetration. most of his assist came from his teammate’s jumpshooting. he doesn’t create for others.

not only is not that good as player (for his price)…he is a bad fit for dantoni’s style.

he is a decent shooter but that’s all he can bring.

Hey– game #82 could actually have some meaning. A win could deny the Raptors a playoff spot, which in turn could ensure Bosh’s departure, or at the very least get him to announce his intention to opt in or out sooner rather than later to give us something substantial to speculate on…. Nice to be playing for something!
