New York Basketball
If you’re a NBA fan and live in New York you might want to head to a nearby doctor and get a prescription of Zoloft. The NY Knicks are once again struggling as a franchise with average players and lack of team chemistry. Most fans would give an arm and a leg to go back to the early 90’s where the Knicks were a dominant team on the East coast. If you happen to hate the Knicks and hold your head high as being a Nets fan, well you’re in store for some unwanted history. The Nets are winless and have recently broken the record for worst starting record in the NBA. Their staggering record at this very moment is 0-18. Yes, that isn’t a typo. This team is a joke and needs to get its team together quick. The Nets aren’t a team with absolutely no talent. They actually have a pretty good supporting cast with potential all stars like Devin Harris. These two organizations are in shambles, so what do they do? Their future will fall squarely on what they do in the offseason. All stars like Lebron James and Dwayne Wade have contracts that are ending and are willing to move to another team if the money is right. These teams need to make moves and pay these players as much as they want or they will forever be the laughing stock of the NBA. The only problem I see with giving these players a load of money is that it might have a negative effect on salaries and job opportunities within the organization that take place behind the scenes. Franchises only have a certain amount of money and when you pay a player more you might see downfalls in other areas. So a NY fan has to ask themselves, do they want a better team to root for or focus more on the state of NY and try to get ourselves out of this minor depression?

hahah, very good points made in this blog post of yours. The Knicks are embarassing and I really do not watch the NBA but I am more into college ball. But living in NY it is a complete embarassment hearing about the NY Knicks. If their contracts are up do you think they are really going to want to come to the Knicks after the embarrassin season they have had? I wonder if Lebron James would but I don't think so. Well I agree wtih you I hope this depression will come to an end and maybe a new light will someday shine on the Knicks!
ReplyDeleteThe knicks are an embarresment. I miss the team they used to have with Allan Houston and Latrell Sprewell. I am not a bi NBA fan but I do like the Knicks. I think getting a good player on the team like Lebron will up the fan base for the Knicks, but I think this depression should be a little more important. Both the Knicks and the Nets are depressing teams, and if they get good players that migh help, but if that takes up their entire salary then that might not make a big difference.
ReplyDeleteHa, yes these teams are in shambles right now. It seems the fans could care less that there team is tanking right now because they truly believe their Mesiah, a.k.a. Lebron James, is coming to New York. I won't even comment on the Nets because they're a complete joke right now, but the Knicks seems to just keep picking up these over paid scrubs. I am not a fan by any means, but when I watch them, it just seems there's no team chemistry at all, and no good ball movement. All I see is selfish players like Nate Robinson trying to dribble 5 guys and throwing up a wild shot. The GM has run that team into the ground, they should try and dump almost the entire team, and pray that they can pick up some all-stars come 2010 free agency.
