Is the Knicks fanbase the most realistic of the big 3? (LA, NY, CHI)

[Orlando Magic]

And by big 3 I mean Bulls, Lakers, Knicks...

Bulls fans seem to in large part (well, it's dropped off because his injury) jock Derrick Rose REALLY hard.

Lakers fans seem to of course jock Kobe very hard.

Both great players and yet both insanely overrated due to their fan bases.

I don't see Knicks fans, in large, overrate their players/teams. Yes, there are posters, but we're not talking the majority of the fan base as is the case with the other 2.

Knicks fans... is it just because the Knicks suck or is it because New York fans are less emotional posters?

Hmm...

[Lebronxrings]

Dude some knick fans think melo is the best player today and better then dubeta and lebron. Many also think he's an all time great :lol . bulls fans arent that bad cept for mgay Stans.

[Dagouch]

The Knicks have been so bad for so long I think most of us have been pretty realistic on our expectations for the team.

Of course each fan base has trolls saying crap all the time.

[imdaman99]

Im realistic. When they are good, I'm hyped and have confidence in them against anyone. For example, in 2013 I had faith they could have done some real damage against the Heat in the playoffs. Unfortunately, they didn't match up as well against the Pacers, thank you for that by the way Tyson and JR.

But how much faith and delusion can I have with Melo as #1 and JR as his #2?

Stat, Hardaway Jr., Shump, Bargnani need to step up. Championship or bust :rockon:

If melo didn't go Kobe mode, you guys would have beat the pacers.

Bulls with a healthy Rose have been 60-win, ECF caliber teams. He's healthy now, and they have more talent around him now than they ever did before. So saying they're a Finals team isn't that unrealistic.

LOL at Knicks fans though.

No, no, I agree. If Rose is healthy the Bulls might just win the title because there's a good chance they're going to win the East, and when you're in the Finals, there's always a chance.

I'm just saying... that Rose used to get insanely overrated on this board by Bulls fans and they were irrationally defensive of any criticism on his game though that is not the case any more.

[BrownEye007]

I think OP ment Celtics intead of Knicks because the Knicks don't even deserve to be mentioned along with those other two.

[MrC1991]

Rose is my guy but I can't help but not believe in dudes body anymore. I'm hoping for the best though! Knicks fans though lmfaooooooo! They almost as bad as Cubs fans.

[boozehound]

I would argue that chicago fans tend to be the most realistic of the three. Sure, they may overhype rose, but a ton of knicks fans (I am assuming we are talking about fans on this forum) are completely delusional about the quality of their team. Not just this year, but for as long as I have been on this forum. There are plenty of good knickerboxer fans, but they are lost in the sea of idiots. Lakers fans are a mixed bag.

[MP.Trey]

I like most Chicago fans, at least on ISH. The Lakers & Knicks fans are both pretty unbearable though with obvious exceptions.

Big three is Lakers Celtics Bulls.
And then Spurs.
Knicks are probably not top 5

[Real14]

All dis hate iz relly pissing me off now man:coleman:

They are the three most valuable teams in the league because those are the three biggest markets.

Boston is fourth.

[Dagouch]

I'm assuming the Opp means Big Three in Marketshare/Media etc.

There are a lot of Good Knicks fans out there. I know next year we are in for a fight to even get into the playoffs next year. A lot of teams in the East have risen. But as a fan of a team you got to have some confidence (perhaps hope) that your team will do well.

[JUDGE WITNESS]

knicks fans think their team will contend every year

"we got james white? championship cruise now boarding"

[Smoke117]

What? Knick fans are some of the dumbest fans in the world. Everyone knows the Knicks will do nothing, but they are so adamant that Knicks can contend it's hilarious.

That's what these salty ass panties in a bunch haters gotta understand. Itz our phucking team so Why not have confidence in them?:biggums: Especially since we were 2nd place in tha damn east in 2013. Even in 2013 nobody gave us a REAL chance and still talk shit about us like we suck. Meanwhile tha crappy ass Aubrey raptors had a worse year in 2014 compared to us in 2013 & people didn't laugh at them tha way they laughed at us:coleman:

Confidence is one thing but sometimes you just gotta admit your team isn't going to do shit. I've had to admit that quite a few times since the Jordan era ended.

[SOD 21]

How can New York Knicks fans not be realistic when they have suffered through over four decades of beat downs and disappointments?

The Lakers and Chicago Bulls have won 16 titles since the last championship won by the New York Knicks.

Your answer has nothing to do with my post. Like how tha phuck are tha 14 raptors are more respected than tha '13 knicks?:coleman:

Neither team is respected.

You only get respect when you have a the consistency of winning and get titles. Check the Spurs.

[DaSeba5]

The most realistic? :lol

Hmm...
Lakers fans care about the Lakers team. I want to win, I don't care how or who takes us. End result are what matters to me. Big picture thinking.

We're the NY Knicks. When the **** did we become the Manhattan Knicks? Because the shortsighted Nets are Brooklyn and now wonder why their fanbase isn't enormous? You call us the Manhattan Knicks again (which is what jackass writers try to make it, a battle of boroughs) and i personally will smack you upside your 2pac wannabe head. Are we clear?

[poido123]

There's good and bad fans among all 3 fan bases.

I generally find good posters in all teams and everyone has their own opinion of what a good fan is.

I think laker fans have the most diverse of fans on ISH in particular. Some of the worst and some of the Best.

[smoovegittar]

I love my team. For years and years. I've seen some really bad shit.

We have a history. 2 ships. I try to be real about next season, but I'm optimistic for the team's "new direction". When you're a large market team that does some of the dumbest shit imaginable, it's not an easy mess to love often. When someone disrespects my team wickedly, I usually respond in kind.

I have found a few good people who I respect in here.

[CHi1PriDe]

CHICAGO AINEC. We led the league in attendance last year without Rose and sending Deng off. Some fans even thought we should tank our season but that never stopped us from showing support. We even drive to other arenas just for support. If that legit than i don't know what is.

Amen man! Bucks games are just another Chicago home game for us lol

Hmm...

It's cuz they suck. MJ has chi hype. So, they want the next MJ. Kobe is a great player, too. If NY had Bron, they would be slobbing hard.

I love Melo, but most people think he's a career loser by now. So, if you bring him up you're just inviting yourself into a dead end troll.
