GAMEOVER



Its over. The New York Knicks finished another season disappointing their fans for the 7th straight year. Are we officially losers?

Yea, we are....

The Knicks (30 - 52) ended their season with a win over the New Jersey Nets and won by 30 points. However, when it mattered, as per usual, the Knicks got blown out.
I had the luxury, although hardly a luxary to be quite honest, of attending two games over my spring break in New York. All I can say is money well spent. NOT! I asked for a good game. I didn't care for a win, I didn't care for a slam dunk, I didn't ask for a buzzer beater, and I didn't look for a medley 3s. Just wanted a solid game. But to my complete shock, we got killed in both games by an average of 30 points each game.

Its so bad now that the Knicks store is offering 30% discount on all its goods, and even has much of its merchandise on clearance at $10 dollars.

According to ESPN, MSG saw a decrease of $60 million in revenues per year since they started losing. In one of the world's premiere cities, the 'world's most famous arena' is full. Full of empty seats and angry New Yorkers.

Also, instead of promoting its team and the accomplishments, the http://www.knicks.com/ website is flaunting the plethora of celebrities that attend. I know Anthony Anderson and Howard Stern are pretty much the best things since sliced bread, but honestly, I rather just see a nice assist.

What's ahead?

Well, quite frankly, nothing. The way the Knicks have been playing, they probably don't even care about their fans and are throwing back, in addition to the bricks on the the court, hotdogs and burgers, instead of working on their game.
The Game Is Over.
