We've been to the Finals twice and lost both times, first to the Celtics in 1976 and then to the Bulls in 1993.
We're kind of like the former Red Sox of basketball.

You're right about that.
Now let me go edit.........
This is harsh, real harsh.
I don't want you mavs fans feeling alone.This is harsh, real harsh.
Oh believe me, we dont.
When will the Knicks win another trophy? I mean in this millenium? Knicks Finals appearance drought for 34 years. Conf le drought for 8 years. And division le drought for almost what? 13 years? But it's all good. Go Knicks!
When worse comes to worst, dont fret. Yall still got the award winning director e Lee.
It's Friday night Childs. You should be sipping on some beer, not haterade.
Knicks were in the Finals in 99, 8 year by my caculations, but I am a mathmatician so its not really fair. I love these threads by the wayOh believe me, we dont.

Make it 40 years 0 les after this year.
Ok so I made a mistake. Let me rephrase what I meant. 34 years (or is just year without the "s"? according to you
LOL mathmatician... priceless.
That's kind of a move, Chris. Especially since the Suns are the 4th winningest franchise in NBA history. Just because they haven't won the big one you have to call them "the most loser franchise ever." No, the Knicks got that le in 1985 when Patrick Ewing unknowingly vowed to make them the most disappointing franchise in the league for 15+ years.
Are there any annoying dancing pink elephants in this thread? Thank God Firefox can block images.
Oh so you must be a spellaticion huh? Guess I met my match, maybe I need to get spellcheck or something...Ok so I made a mistake. Let me rephrase what I meant. 34 years (or is just year without the "s"? according to you

not until...
now
Dammit Hamilton
would you expect anything less from a guy who probably thought he was getting rolando blackman in last year's draft? guy has nothing to cheer about, especially now that crawford is out for the season...let him be pissed, it's funny in a pathetic sorta way
Whats funny is hes not pissed, hes just being a , which just makes this thread that much more great
yeah you're right but his dissing is never-ending and it's weak, not a good combo...came off as a little from day one. this thread is great just because some loser knows how to cut and paste? uh, alright.
Damn, coming out swinging I see. What makes it great to me is how pissed people get at him just stating the obvious. We all know that the Suns and Mavs dont have les, but everyone seems to get all pissed whenever he does this, which is pretty often. Some posters here just like to get people riled up, and when people take the bait it just makes me laugh
It's hardly the Suns or Mavs faults that they've failed to land the #1 overall pick, not just once, but twice in the same year that a future-HOF pivot is available. Must be nice having had two All-time great big men help your Spurs finally get over that nasty hump of their own.
Some fans just don't realize how fortunate they and their favorite teams are... True, Spurs made some great late-round picks and free agent picks ups as well, but it was the fortunate drafting of Robinson and Duncan that made their semi-dynasty even possible. Explain to me how the Suns, with all them playoff appearances, are able to draft a player like Duncan or Robinson?
Dude, relax, Im not trying to talk about the Suns or the Mavs, I realize the Spurs and their fans have had it good, and when the Suns had that team with Barkley and KJ I couldnt believe they didnt win it all. All I was trying to say was that there isnt any point in getting pissed at a thread like this because 1st of all hes a Knicks fan, and like I said we all know already that those teams donthave les, its not like its some rumor he is spreading, so to me there isnt really any point to getting pissed about it, but to each their own I suppose
I am relaxed. I'm not upset with anyone in the thread or anything. I just thought it odd how someone who knows the pain of enxtended success without the ultimate prize, as most Spurs fans pre-1999 should, would find it "great" or even amusing at the similer cir stances of other teams and their fans.
Success is a two edged sword. From 1996 on I wish the Suns had just blown everything up and built around Finley and Nash. With their draft history and those mid/late-90's drafts being as loaded as they were, they'd have been in much better shape entering the new millenium than tey were after their over-the-top spending spree for Longley, Googs and Penny and mindless trades like Majerle for Hot-Rod Williams, Cassell/Finley for Kidd and draft picks for a five month McDyess rental. But since they were just good enough to be a top-3/8 seed in the playoffs every year until 2002, they were just far enough to be out of quality player range with the few picks they managed to keep after all their excessive spending/trades.
As for the Barkley/KJ era... I rarely make excuses, and I'm not saying things would have been different had injuries not occued, but 1992-93 was the first of many knee surgeries for KJ, so that era was never what it could have been. You can't do it, but I often wonder "what if" with regards to KJ's health. He was 22-10 for his career up to that point. He stays healthy, I think - THINK - things could have had a different ending. Same with the whole Barkley/bad back injury, the Richard Dumas/drugs relapse and the Oliver Miller/obesity issues. Those four factors limited that team/the future.
^ EDIT: though, exluding KJ's injury, the other factors were completely self-inflicted. Barkley became a fatass of his own lax work ethic and excessive indulgences, Dumas was the one who threw away a promising career for blow and Miller doing the same for dough (as in Pizza). It got so bad with Miller the team hired a private investigator to track his nightly habits, to which they found he often ordered large pizza after large pizza, each of which was consumed by the next morning.
Godamn Oliver Miller was a fatass
