I see alot of threads about how we're in 'disarray' and asking us 'how we feel' in regards to not finishing first.
I think it speaks VOLUMES about how obsessed haters are. JUST IMAGINE if and when the knicks get to the finals and win a 'chip how much they're going to hate on NY.

Because of unnecessary comments like this being made by stupid fans like you. We can't get past the first round and have no idea how we will cope this season with our new additions/subtractions to the team.
Battling for the 8th seed last season and getting demolished by the Heat in the playoffs isn't going to attract praises.

I used to like the Knicks until the 8-15 start and then Melo openly admitting that he didn't play hard for D'antoni (who was trying everything he could to make the team better). Then I realized how much time I wasted watching the Knicks and how much of a big baby Melo is. Tyson, Iman, Jared Jefferies ALWAYS came to play as hard as they possibly could and Melo openly admitted he didn't care. That was enough to turn me against them.

Because NY fans feel entitled to every great team. Plus their fans over hype them every year yet they can't win a playoff series. With that said, that doesn't bother me as much. I dislike the Knicks because they're rivals with my team.

Name me ONE TEAM whose entire fan base is smart/educated and never overhypes their team.
So you're willing to hate on a team because of a couple people who are fanboys? Heck, who cares? They are FANS! Sports is entertainment and knick fans like every other fan of every other team wants to believe they have a shot; otherwise why bother watching the game?
*IMAGINE, watching the game thinking to yourself, "we suck, and we're gonna get destroyed"

Unwarranted self-importance. Probably the worst franchise when it comes to being able to handle criticism. Everyone is a "hater" that says the Knicks won't be that good.

This is complete bullshit. It's only Yankee fans that expect to win. Mets/Jets/Giants/Rangers/Islanders/Knicks fans don't put any type of crazed expectations on their teams.

The Knicks have been a laughing stock for 12 years now. It's so easy to hate on them since they won't win shit.
The hate on the Yankees and Lakers is more to do with jealousy and bitterness.

Because we have a dysfunctional front office, team and fans? We have made some of the dumbest moves this past decade..(Marbury, Francis, J-James, Curry, T-Mac, Jeffries, Randolph, Crawford, McDyess and probably now Carmelo) I don't think people actually hate us but I think they feel pity for us instead.

Their fans are also a big part of it, although we'd all be arrogant if we were fans of them as well.

the knicks are in complete dissaray and i will tell you why people hate the knicks..
they have 3 of the most under achieving ****ing LOSERS in the nba who take their talent for granted
jr smith
amare
melo
how can 1 team have all 3 of those players??? thats completely ridiculous. amare punches fire extinguishers. melo is fat and never passes hes a black hole all he does is go 1 on 1 and chuck more then kobe. jr smith is a mini chucker gang banger who throws up gang signs after he makes 3's
the team is pathetic....
im a spurs fan so im used to organized play. non 1 on 1 bullshit. superstars who dont complain like little bitches. players who know how to set real screens and can rebound *cough* trashy amare.
thats why I personally hate the knicks. I like to watch basketball played the RIGHT way. not a bullshit team taken over by the players in the locker room
did I forget jason kidd beats his wife and just got a dui??
the knicks locker room is in complete dissaray

#1 - thread was started by a Nets fan
#2 - First couple of pages, no Knicks fans are present aside from iDunk.
#3 - :lol the more I read through it, iDunk was like the only Knicks fan throughout the first 10 pages taking a Heat upset as a lock.
#4 - I'd say a good 80-85% of that thread consisted of NON-Knicks fans opinions, some backing us up, others bashing us. Virtually all the Knicks fans that did post in the thread were just defending their team on why they had a chance in the Heat series.
Anyway, pick another thread, because you using that thread as an example to hate on Knicks fans is a fail.

People hate on knicks fans for basically supporting their team no matter what ("hyping up bad teams", etc.)
Shout out to bulls/heat/thunder/lakers fans who don't even live remotely close to their team and have never been to a game :oldlol:

This, people can bash Knicks fans for loving a team that's been poor for 10 of the last 12 years but most of the Bulls/Celts/HEAT/Lakers fans who don't live in the area jumped on the bandwagon at a time when that team was a favourite/contender.
Not many teams that have fans that would stick with them like Knicks fans do.

People who put all their energy into hating a team are assholes. Most here on ISH just hate other teams because of interactions with other obnoxious fans. There really isn't a valid reason to hate the Knicks.

Pretty much this...You can say fans of all teams cheer for their team as much as you want but they don't come off as egotistical, delusional, and spoiled as Knick fans...Don't know why they feel entitled to anything...They have no reason to...:confusedshrug:
There's a couple of them on this site that are decent but the rest are not...

Well why don't you learn to read the newspaper the right way and hop out of Austin Power's time machine. This is blind haterism at its best. Your screename, the join date, this post. You probably got on a T Shirt that says, I am fail.

But in all honesty, if I had to choose 1 historically prestigious franchise in which to cement my legendary HoF NBA status with? It'd be the Knicks. The Garden, man. The Mecca of basketball.

The forum's atmosphere was amazing during the showtime Laker era, arguably the toughest era in NBA history. Also hosted the team that won 33 games in a row and a then record 69 win team. How is that face palm worthy ?

Because as an icon, MSG is on another level as a "sports venue" than the forum im not just talking about basketball games. The Garden has hosted way more Historic evens than The forum.

You worded it waaaay wrong. Neither the Forum or Boston Garden are in the same hemisphere as MSG. Now if you said Basketball history yes, Forum first, Boston Garden second.
