Finally A Way To Fix The Knicks

Albert Einstein defined insanity as doing the same thing over and over while expecting a different result. That means there are on average at least 18.824 insane people who keep going to Knicks games expecting to see a 19-51 team win. Add to that the fact that TV ratings are actually up 8% and it might be time to get another lock for your door.

Now Gothamist understands that many people still have a tough time coming to grips with the fact that the Knicks are a colossal mess, but come on people! Even if you have sunk your money into season tickets for this year, there are only five home games left. Show up with a paper bag over your head, you don’t want to be recognized and don’t spend $7,000 to repeat this agony again next season. And, whatever you do, don’t take kids to these games; they don’t need to see this.

Luckily, some inspired people have taken a more proactive approach venting their disgust for a good cause. And while we are at it, disgruntled Knicks’ fans now have an anthem to rally around.

haha you hipsters with you smart interjections while none of you obviously know the first damn thing about basketball. jail isiah, haha, that's clever. haha they guy said he was jesus christ. haha, the other guy called the one angry guy isiah, as if to say, isiah, now hip, is reading this hipster focused website. sure, isiah reads curbed and gothamist, he has a subscription to time out new york and visits daily the blogs listed to the right of this post. its funny to me that this sight even attempts to cater to sports fans since most of the readers where geeks who sat out during gym class and got spit on during lunch time. go ride your fixed gears in prospect park.

JESUS CHRIST

Isiah isn't black. he's white but his skin is the color of shit.

Imagine that - no black folk on staff.

Color me, not surprised.

What kind of racist shit is this? Seriously. Jail a dude because he's a horrible GM? WTF, whities?

I mean, if you want to jail people - jail these cop terrorists in Milwaukee, who nearly beat a half-black man to death because he was banging a couple of white girls.

Jail Isiah. Y'all are some racist crackheads, man.

Peter

Sorry you took this so personally, Isiah.

Trinkle, get a job. This is idiotic. "Jail Isiah"? Then: Jail Larry Brown. Jail Jerome James. Jail Layden. Jail Dolan. We already read the Post, we don't need your inane take on the Knicks as well. Here's hoping Jen and Jake replace you next season. You add nothing of value to the already piss-poor tabloid-dominated reporting on the Knicks. See you on the bandwagon in three years.

What that article doesn't mention is all the empty seats or the average arrival time of a Knicks fan -- which is only slightly better than the arrival time of the average Laker fan, which is to say they're very tardy.

Combine those two factors and the average nose count for a game per 48 minutes played is about 8,000.
