i can't quit on this team.

and summed up exactly how I feel about the team. I’ve had some of those exact thoughts.

1) There is no need to be hopeless. Not with this team. Not with this core. Not with the encouraging signs we saw the past 2 nights against 2 of the better teams in the conference, teams who have been playing together for years. Say what you (not @ you OP) want about these guys never being able to mesh, but blowing the team up every few weeks or every year won’t make us suddenly succeed either. This is a shortened season without much practice time, except for minor changes, not much can be done to help – not trading Melo/Amare and not firing MDA.

2) Quit clinging to the idea of the ‘Knuggets,’ because it is just going to annoy you more and because they aren’t really the ‘Knuggets’ they are the nuggets with Gallo and Mozgov. Gallo was awesome, and he was showing us how good he could be last year when we shipped him off for Melo, but he is no longer a Knick and will be a Nugget for at least the next 4 years. Mozgov was barely a Knick, though he gained lots of popularity for his promise, much like Lin has lately. Unless you are getting stuck on Al Harrington too, that’s it, and both teams have made changes to the roster since ‘The Trade™’. Quit comparing the two teams since the trade, because the Nuggets likely have a better record since that date regardless of if we make that trade.

3) Hate to be an ass and nitpick, but your post has grammar and correct spelling, but only 2 words are capitalized, and that will turn people off from reading it – almost did for me, but I was curious because of the title. Still, it was miles better than the majority of fanposts on the site. We are all smart people, we should be able to put fanposts together in a proper, well written way. Comments are one thing, but (presumably) you are writing a fanpost because you want someone to take you seriously and read what you have to say. Of the sbnation sites I visit on a regular basis, this site has by far the worst standards for fanposts. Maybe I am alone in this sentiment, but I think we need to self-police ourselves so we can improve the quality of fan writing here. NYers like to pride themselves on being the most passionate and knowledgeable fans, but these fanposts beg to differ. My idea for improvement is simple, take the extra few seconds to capitalize and use proper grammar, and use the fanshot section for smaller posts that mostly include trade options. This is Seth’s site, so it’s his call, I just think we can do better.
