My bad about that smiley face thing, I have no idea what's going on. It does that whenever I edit posts. I'll try to edit it out, so I'm sorry if anyone, including metrocard, took it the wrong way.
Yo, I'm done. If you think that everything I say is BS then you can feel that way. We both went through seeing LJ hit the three to us suffering all this time, and yet you and I see things differently. That's just how it is. Honestly, for the most part of reading your replies, it seems more like your flaming me instead of making an effort to at least understand, not agree, with my reasoning.
Disneyland? You turned some kind of general example into something you could use to accuse me of going off-topic. The expiring contracts? You post as though I only heard about that yesterday. BTW, you give me crap whenever I use "if" statements, so that argument that "ifs" aren't reasonable to use is basically dead.
Here's the Sparknotes version of my counter-argument.
The Bulls have done well. I just wouldn't be paying Ben Wallace 14 mil a year when Tyson Chandler could have done that for me for 4 million less and a longer tenure. They went under the cap, and they got a big time guy. But are they in a position where they can utilize his skills just like the Pistons did? Last time I checked, although they are a playoff team, there are two deserving lottery picks who are looking for extensions and the Bulls are still looking for a low-post scorer.
I definitely understand. I'm just saying that Isiah never sold the idea that Randolph was the exact answer that we needed. Though when you look at the two players we gave up, and the nice upgrade at the power forward spot, we should be better this season.
Well there is a difference between a team like Portland saying "we'll be better this year" and a few key Knicks players saying that they expect nothing less than the playoffs. The Knicks have clearly set the bar high and expect a lot from themselves, with the PLAYOFFS being an expectation. No doubt that every team will have players who support their team, but our players will not accept anything less than a playoff berth.
And how many other forums have you been banned from? Haha j/k
Look, I've never thrown an insult at you, so it surprises me that you're trying to come back with this "pendejo" and "are you gonna cry now?" bit. It's actually kinda funny.
I don't think I'm making any predictions or forcing them on anyone at all. I'm just making a comment of how I think we're going to do as a team based on what we've all seen, just like anybody else. Does having an opinion mean that I'm predicting the future? It seems that you'll have the same argument with anyone who doesn't agree with you. I absolutely know that should the Knicks have a losing record next season, you're going to hold whatever you can against me. So be it. Just know where I stand. I expect a healthy Knicks team to make the playoffs this season, and if they don't, then I'll be just as disappointed as anyone else can be.
Both you and I care about the betterment of this team, and yet we kill each other more than fans of a rival team. Have a nice day.

I told everyone here I thought the Randolph deal benefited the Knicks talent wise, but didn't address any of our weaknesses, we did increase in rebounding strength and added another isolation scorer.

If you play a sport, you should believe in yourself 100% and in your team 100%. Those guys showing that doesn't surprise me. I'm surprise it surprised you so much. Do you get into sports out there? Basketball is one of the few sports I enjoy watching on TV, I much rather be out there and experience the activity.

You've predicted the future with your irrational beliefs no one wants to read, and why would you deny that now?
