Like they were a playoff threat LAST year, or something...  :>))

Seriously, it hearkens back to something that REALLY BUGGED me about the 
Knicks.  Back when they got Latrell Spreewell, they were a legitimate 
playoff contender.  I was outraged that Spreewell was, to my mind, being 
rewarded for his act of attempted murder by being traded to a 
high-visibility team in a major city.  Despite that I respected Patrick 
Ewing, I siuncerely hoped that as long as Spreewell was there, that the 
Knicks never got anywhere near a championship, because I felt he didn't 
deserve to be honored so by being referred to as "A member of the NBA 
Championship team...".

Ever since, the Knicks have been a train wreck.  I feel bad for ALMOST all 
of them--though I have no wish for their success to come at our 
expense.  Having survived Pitino, I know what it's like as a fan to have to 
sit there and take it when someone says "Your team SUCKS this 
year!"--because you know that right then--sigh--it's true.

The minute Spreewell goes, I'll wish New York well.

Up to a point, of course.  The Celtics still come first in my mind--and 
hopefully, in the NBA.
