The Knicks have a Defensive Player of the Year, the league's leading scorer, and the reigning Sixth Man of the Year.


Why did anybody expect the Celtics to beat them?  I just don't get it.

The Knicks are a contender, and the Celtics are an old, injured, crappy team.

delusion and denial. refusal to objectively look at our craptastic coach and play.

I'm a believer and I know we have a good chance.

I stopped waiting once our much under-appreciated of went down.
Still don't believe in Joe.

I pin all of this on Danny Ainge. I think he's had the type of year which should get him fired

Terry - Bust
Lee - Bust
Bass - Bust
Green - Talented but inconsistent (Perk/Green trade - FAIL)
Crawford - Bust
Terrence Williams - Bust



Terry- Most people thought the Terry thing was a good thing. Before the season started anyway. I don't blame Danny for that one.

Bass- Played well for us before. I don't think Danny has a crystal ball.

Green- He is overpaid.

Lee- Just like Terry, just about everyone thought that he was a good pickup.

Come on now, we are a better team w/o Rondo though.  NOT!

Yeah, I can't believe Ainge assembled this team knowing that his best player would tear an ACL, one of the key role players would go out for the season with a back injury, and an important bench scorer would also tear an ACL.  He should really be fired.

  • We may as well put Tyrion in at center.

Terry - Bust

Not picking up a capable big or two last summer or at the trade deadline - FAIL.

Could've had Blatche, Martin or Birdman for a song and dance. Instead, Ainge stood by signed a bunch of scrubs at the trade deadline.

And don't think for a second that KMart isn't enjoying sticking it to the Celtics right now. I know I would be.

Danny Ainge did a pretty dang good job in the off-season, given his situation.

Name another player as capable as Terry that we could have gotten to replace Ray's role last off-season. Please.

We got Lee with Moore, Johnson, and a 2nd round pick. CHEAP. You can't draft a bust with a 2nd round pick. Don't ignorantly think that Moore and Johnson would have contributed - it would be very hypocritical of you ("signed a bunch of scrubs at the trade deadline").

Bass, we really needed. He was crashing the boards today and he's a good role player. A bust is someone who doesn't contribute - are you saying Bass doesn't contribute at all?

Green - Your argument is sooooooo invalid. He's been freaking consistent since he got over his slump!!! Look at Perk and look at Green. Who would you rather have right now? Trading for Green was a very good idea both at the time and now. Danny was thinking about the future, and he did a really good job bringing in Green. Honestly, where would we be without him right now?

We got Crawford for Collins. Enough said. At least Crawford has some talent.


This is ignorant Ainge hate gone wayyy too far.
I like Marcus Smart

I'll tell you this -- if Ainge keeps this same group around and doesn't go hard into rebuilding after this debacle of a season, then I will be first in line calling for him to be fired.

It's time to take this horse to the glue factory.
