During our lifetimes MSG has  been refered to as the "Mecca" of basketball yet they only won a Championship twice, one in 1970 and one in 1973. That's 40 years!

It's really pathetic that the Knicks haven't been able to put a winning team on the court in what has become a generation. It's not because there hasn't been talent either. It's because there hasn't been the right blend of talent and a sustained commitment to do what it takes to put a winning club together.  Bringing Melo to New York without assembling a good and STABLE  supporting cast around him was more of a publicity stunt than it was an attempt at putting a team that could win a Championship on the floor.  New York basketball fans deserve better than what they've been provided to root for and if they are not going to commit to putting a team around Melo that has a real chance to win they'd be best to let him go and begin to plan for the future.

Even the Celtics were able to assemble a team which could win a title after they had slid into oblivion post Bird/ McHale and the tragic loss of Len Bias. It seemed totally hopeless in Boston and they still were able to put some talent around Paul Pierce after years of him going it essentially alone. The Knicks are a complete mess and it's enough to turn lifelong Knick fans away from the franchise that they've been loyal to all their lives. I can't stand it anymore.
