That was the low point of my life as a fan. I sat there and stared at the TV for about 15 minutes after he missed that - though I don't think he could have dunked that ball."You make your name in the regular season, and your fame in the postseason." - Clyde Frazier

Re: The 2011 New York Knicks: The Rebirth
I was going to actually mention this but I didn't want to remind anyone of that memory.
It was 1995. I was 13. And I cried that entire day.
In fact, that moment is what my cousins always point to as the day they realized that I loved the Knicks. They still mention it till this day. Rather than being a happy kid celebrating my cousin's birthday, I was devastated by the Knicks Game 7 loss to the Pacers.Last edited by CMH; 12-10-2010, 09:15 AM."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied.

Re: The 2011 New York Knicks: The Rebirth
I was 14 at the time. Basketball and the Knicks was what I was all about.Last edited by Vast; 12-10-2010, 11:04 AM."I'm addicted to Video Games, and i chase it with a little OS." -Winston ChurchillComment

Re: The 2011 New York Knicks: The Rebirth
True, though that was the ECSF in '95. We still woulda had to get through Orlando to see Houston again. 1995 was the only post-season (outside of the absurd Heat/Knick brawl-suspension) where the Knicks were "upset" in the 1990's. The only time they really came up short. Every other year we just lost to better teams. Very disappointing end to that season."You make your name in the regular season, and your fame in the postseason." - Clyde Frazier

Re: The 2011 New York Knicks: The Rebirth
True true. Now that i think about it. I was definitely way more angry about the Heat/ Knick brawl suspension. We were clicking on all cylinders and had that series in the bag when P.J. Brown tossed Ward like he had no regard for human life. The NBA stole that series from the Knicks."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied.

Re: The 2011 New York Knicks: The Rebirth
By the time the Knicks/Heat rivalry started I had already given up hope on us winning a title with Patrick. That was a great rivalry with many memories but it just didn't mean as much to me as the Bulls or Pacers because I didn't feel we were contenders and I was bitter at that point lol. Hell, I honestly wasn't excited at all when we made the Finals in 1999. Partly because the strike had really pissed me off in regards to the NBA and partly because I knew the Spurs would destroy us."You make your name in the regular season, and your fame in the postseason." - Clyde Frazier
