so you call yourself a fan?

I wrote this email in response to an article posted online on the famous realgm website. Obviously I'm as frustrated with Knick negativity in the media as this chump is with the knicks tanking every other game.

Subject: that lip service you call an article

hey
i must admit I didn't read all of your article because I've seen it all before from the media these past 5 straight years from the likes of Frank Isola, Mike Lupica, Mitch Lawrance, Marc Berman and Mike and the Mad Dog, I guess we can add you to those lowly ranks now too. And now that the knicks are half a game out of the 8th seed with 21 games left, I really wonder if people like you are going to start changing your disposition with regard to my knicks. you may call yourself a knick fan if you like, taking shit about my beloved team, but before you start to change your tune for your next piece go back and read the article that you just wrote again and just try not to consider yourself a sellout. you think you're struggling with the knicks by writing that article out of frustration but you're really just putting more negativity against all their efforts to turn this season around. Don't go throwing around phrases like "disgrace to the franchise" about my team!

By the way, the celtics just beat New Jersey and Minnesota, making it 4 wins in a row, 3 of those coming on the road, so that "mail it in" garbage was obviously pretty far off. and the utah game was a loss by the refs, not the knicks. and you dare mention the chicago trade? That nazi Paxon is ruing the day he gave away their legitimate low post threat for fat Sweetney, Ty Thomas and a player that has yet to be determined. you must be the only person on earth that still thinks chicago got the best of that deal. give me whoever isiah picks with the lower bulls pick in 2007, i guarantee it will be a SUPERIOR player than whoever chicago gets with their "higher" draft pick. Eddy Curry was an all star this year, and if your average NBA fan wasn't such an complete idiot as to have voted an undeserving player a starting position (shaq had played all of 7 games when the ballots were tallied) Eddy would have got his just due. he is a good kid, he earned that fucking spot and he was robbed of it by the masses of idiots who belive things that people write just because it is printed.

its sad. they win 23 wins all of last season under next town brown, have their fucking spirits broken and come into this season with all you doubters against them, turn empty seats at the garden into late-season sell out crowds doing the wave for the first time in 20 years, and you expect them to win 13 straight like Dallas and compare them to the likes of Phoenix? they're 28-33 with 21 games remaining, so what if they win one loose one, you have to learn to walk before you can run! If you were a knicks fan last year (I'm sure you think you were) AND you watch games this year IT IS CLEAR that this is a more fun team to watch and cheer for. a young team still learning how to win, a team learning how to communicate on defense, a team that if they could cut just 2 turnovers per game would winning even more games than they already have. stephon is leaving it all on the court these days, the man is playing his soul out to try for the playoffs -you might want to include that in the next article you write for real gm.

see you at the gaden. i'll be up in the nosebleeds cheering for my team. God knows were the rest of you "fans" will be. and if you don't like the tone of this email, i make no apologies to you, go back and read your article again and learn the definition of karma.
