Oliver P Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 We, the New York Knickerbockers are now officially back. And watching this team play against the Bucks gave me such a unbelievable feeling... I mean I was so used to watch a horrible team the last decade that it was weird to see Anthony, Billups and Stoudemire with a Knicks jersey. I had the feeling that it was not the Knicks, that it was actually another team. Such a weird feeling... but such a great feeling ! Yeah such an unbelievable feeling that I wanted to share it in this forum. Which is why I decided to create this thread. And I propose to every Knicks fan to share how they feel about this new team as well, that is if they want to... Yeah what a great game yesterday. 27 points, 10 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 assist... The least that we can say is that it didn't take long to Melo to adapt to his new team ! Same for Billups, 21 pts, 6 rbds, 8 asts and 2 stls. Contrary to what many people thought Billups definitely showed that he is just perfect to run D'Antoni's offense. He also had the play of the game : Here's now Carmelo's highlight from this game : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNCPZZ6ia1c Yeah it is honestly great to see Stoudemire, Anthony and Billups together. I mean it's like a dream come true. I can't even express what I feel it's just unbelievable... I mean being the fan of a decent team AT LAST ! Those past years I was starting to believe that it would never happen again, that we would suck forever... But it's happening now. We are officially back. We have a chance to win one or several rings in this decade. We can hope again. Yeah, unbelievable feeling... I honestly feel like I'm gonna cry lol. I haven't been this excited to be a Knicks fan since the 90's. Well not quite true actually, the last time I was this excited was in 2004 when we got Marbury. I really thought that he would get us back in business at the time, just like most fans I suppose, well I was so wrong.... It sure didn't last. I remember what it was to be a Knicks fan in the 90's (it seems to me that it was such a long time ago now...), it was so great. When we were a solid contender every year. I've missed that era so much the last decade... It was so great to root for your team in the playoffs, to root for them in hot series against teams like the Bulls, the Rockets, the Pacers, etc... It was such a great feeling. A feeling that I missed the entire 2000's... How did we manage to suck this much this past decade ? How did all this happen ? I'm not even sure I remember exactly... Well in fact it all started with the Ewing trade for Glen Rice. A big mystake. Rice was clearly not the player that he was with Charlotte any longer and we already had Houston and Spree in the team. Spree had to play PG at times. That was ludicrous. And even if Ewing was out of his prime and was starting to get really old it was still dumb to trade him for that... It's then that we started to get in trouble. We still made the playoffs this year but got surprisingly kicked out of the first round by the Raptors. I remember that Shaquille O'Neal said : "this is what happens when you trade a legend". Which was very surprising coming from him as, for those who don't know it, he and Ewing hated each other in the 90's. But he was right anyhow, he was sadly right... Then we really started to suck. And we have no valuable player to trade, no one wanted Spree or Houston contracts. And then it was a succession of bad contracts and terrible draft picks... And Isiah Thomas became our GM and coach and... well I don't even want to talk about that. But now all of this is over. We are contenders again. Sure we will not win a ring this year (although I have to admit that I want to say that we will but I won't be such a homer haha) but we now have a bright future. We will be able to root for our team in the playoffs. That's what I missed the most this last decade, not being able to root for my team in the playoffs or having to root for another team... But it's over. Knicks fans will be able to root for their team in the playoffs again !!! I know it might seem crazy but only people who were a fan for as long as I can understand that... Yeah such an unbelievable feeling... We are the New York Knicks !! Go New York Go New York Go !!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
