Knicks Cite Fans as Cause for Sucking Ass

Posted at 10:52 am under Sports

If this isn’t classic “it ain’t my fault” bullshit, I don’t know what is…

“It’s real hard. I ain’t never been in a situation like that and I don’t understand,” Randolph said. “I guess they say it’s New York fans, but you know it’s real tough. Honestly. Especially for me, because I’ve never experienced every time a player walks off the court you’re booing.

“Everywhere else, in Portland, fans were a big part of our team. Fans are a big part of every team everywhere you go. We need the fans to be supportive with us, even when we’re down.”

Thomas and Crawford say fans don’t come to the Garden planning to boo, although the jeering starts when the coach is announced during pregame introductions. Thomas thinks that’s contributing to the Knicks’ poor starts.

Luckily Randolphi is one of the few semi-bright spots on a barely mediocre team or I’d really lay into him for this asinine remark. I have to wonder, though, if the Knicks have actually taken to just blaming the fans for their crap performance this season?

If you think about it, they’d have a great model to work with.

Dolan says that he’s happy with the job Isiah’s doing this year. What, specifically, I don’t know. The team has nothing to show for all that pride uncle Jimbo is showing in his team.

The coach of the team also sees progress in the team. Where? Well, who the hell knows. Maybe Eddie Curry is going to actually run up and down the court once or twice. That would be amazing progress from where they are now with Curry acting like he’s glued to the floor.

So if Dolan doesn’t think the Coach is the problem, and the Coach doesn’t think the team is the problem, then the team has to blame someone, so it might as well be the fans.

The Knicks have given up on the city, the team and the legacy of people like Patrick Ewing, Walt Frazier, Bill Bradley, Earl Monroe, and Bernard King. It’s time the city returned the favor.

    Technically he’s right. The booing certainly isn’t helping things. If the Knicks’ front office isn’t going to shake things up then the booing isn’t having its intended effect and therefore just demoralizing an already bad team. See, fellow Knicks fans, booing only works if the front office understands the basic concept behind booing - i.e. booing=your team sucks.
