This is something that we do for the love of it. Not for
fans or recognition or even money. We
stated our blog because we love Basketball and as a structural designer I felt
I needed to write something, to keep my writing skills up with my math skills. And what better subject to write about than,
BASKETBALL and my beloved Knicks.
Last year was a great year we over achieved I had spare time
and my brother and were pretty current with the blog just living life and
loving Basketball.
But I’m sorry to say there’s been turmoil this year we haven’t
kept up with the blog, and to make matters worse the Knicks are having the
biggest “hangover” year in the HISTORY OF SPORT. Most teams have Championship hangovers but
the KNICKS are having a hangover from a 54 win season… WHAT A MESS!!
Life’s funny I remember, saying to myself “there are only 3
REAL cases where it’s OK to cry”
1.
Your wedding day
2.
The birth of your first child
3.
When the Knicks win a Championship.
Well I've been married for over a decade and I have 3 kids
and the Knicks… well let’s just say, the only tears I've shed for them are
tears of AGONY not joy
.
What can I say, I've busted by ass for everything I've
gotten I've worked HARD, I've worked SMART, I've worked long hours and I have a
lot of good stuff to show for it. And that’s why I feel the Knicks front office
has let me down. Seriously… they haven’t
delivered their end of the bargain. I
want a TITLE I WANT THEM TO WIN!!
I guess the Dolan family feel like winners, their always in
the black, they sell out every game, the Knicks are worth THE MOST in the NBA
over 1.4 Billion (when I was younger I dreamt of owning them to the tune of 250
million so in my life so far they've increased over 500%).
But what about the fans yo.
We weren't born with silver spoons in our mouth we don’t go to bed on a
pillow case full of money. We bust our
buts and we sit down in front of the TV and all we want is a winner, winner,
WINNER!
There’s NO reason the Knicks should win, the city is great
the fans are great we all bleed Orange and blue, they can afford to blow the
budget, especially when hey have a top 10 / 20 player. The last time the Knicks had a franchise
player was Patrick Ewing and they never gave him enough but he still rewarded
them with over a decade of winning seasons.
Now we have Melo and if he’s going to stay WE HAVE to
surround him with quality players. Get
somebody in here that has the basketball mind GIVE them control over player
BREAK the bank for a 3 year period it’s OK ONE CHAMPIONSHIP will make it all
better.
But I don’t think the fat cats in the front get it, too rich
too privileged do understand what it takes to be a winner just because your
born rich doesn't mean you already won, nope all it means is you don’t have it
in your gut, you ain’t hungry, born too well off… BORN TO LOSE.
