How Much Do You Fear December 26th 2019?

MeloTheJazzKiller said:
Yes. The refs.
Look, there are a few reasons why the Knicks have had a bad run for a looooong tme:

1. the refs - every single call they make goes against us. I watch all Knick games, you don't.

2. the schedule that the NBA gives us - When LeBum was in Cleveland and then in Miami we had to play him four times a season! Now LeBum moves to the west, so the NBA makes us play the reigning MVP Antentokoumnpo four times a year. Plus they schedule four games against Rookie Of The Year Ben Simmons, and next year the NBA will schedule four games that we have to play against Kyrie and Durant at the same time!

3. the fact that we play in The Garden - every player who comes to play us flat out says they want to post their best game at The Garden. Every player plays a thousand times harder against us at The Garden. You really think they play harder at the Vivint Smart Phone Arena?

I am not an excuse-maker. Those reasons above are simply facts.

You're aware that statements like "every single call" are easily disproven, right?

Here's a fact for you: New York's .400 winning percentage since 1999 is the worst in the NBA.

If you came home and found Carmello in bed with your significant other, which side of the bed would you get in on?

Congratulations on realizing you have to reach back nearly 50 years to find a time when the Knicks weren't crap.

I have to go back 50 years for some great Knicks memories? Uhh, I only have to go back to last Saturday night. We won. Kicked the living hell out of the Wizards.

You're a certified excuse-maker now! AND you were a legal adult when the Knicks won their last championship, so that means you are a legit Boomer snowflake, complete with participation trophies sitting on your mantle!

Please tell us more details about the glory days!

The Knicks are so bad right now, they're one of the few teams for whom beating the 9-22 Wizards is actually an accomplishment.

You don't believe in participation trophies? That makes you a Communist -- work for nothing.

Let me ask you something: did Malone and Stockton receive something every year even though they never won a Championship trophy? Of course they did, they got a paycheck. That's the way we work things in America - you do something, you receive some type of pay. Little League baseball players show up for every practice, play hard in the games....and you want to give them nothing when they have completed their work. That makes you a Communist.

I am a red-blooded all-American Capitalist: you work, you receive.
You are a Socialist/Communist: you work, you get nothing.

9-22...I see how you are afraid to admit the fact that we gave them one of those 22 loses.
We wiped the hell out of them. We conquered. If you ever played any sports you would know that's what sports is all about. Giving the other team an L. We gave the Wizards L number 22. I loved it.

And just a few days after giving them one of their rare Ws. And giving Atlanta one of theirs.

VHS wasn't invented during WWII, but I still enjoy the fact that we won.

The US didn't win the war. Russia essentially won WWII with the battle of Stalingrad, and you should thank your lucky stars every night that they did.

In fact, you should have a shrine built to the Russian army in your front room next to your Knicks trophies (since you're so keen on the meaning of the word "communism"), because without the price paid in Stalingrad Normandy might still be a part of Germany. And even in Brooklyn you might be fluent in German.

The US and Britain waited out the battle of Stalingrad (and other costly battles) because they wanted Russia to be weakened in the aftermath. This, despite the agreement the Allies (including Stalin) had made to attack the Germans from both fronts. Stalingrad was catastrophic for the Nazis, and allowed the US to waltz into Normandy and trounce a German army that was (as a result) significantly under-fortified because what was left of the Third Reich at that point.

The US betrayed Russia. The US then bombed Japan, and took credit for winning the war. Russia has resented us ever since, but not because of our freedoms. They resent us because Eisenhower allowed Churchill to convince him to first fortify British colonial interests before entering France on May Day, and to let the Russians fight the most important battles (including the single most important battle) of WWII on their own.

The US was simply not a part of what legitimately won WWII. Compared to Russia, we were the cleanup crew.

The Russians had over 1 million dead, wounded, or missing from Stalingrad alone. We owe them our freedom for it. They had 10 million military deaths in total. The US didn't even have 1/20th of the casualties, yet we claim to be the "heroes" of WWII.
