I can’t blame Knicks’ fans for this — what has this team given them to cheer this season? Another poorly chosen J.R. Smith jumper? At some point even the most diehard fan of a team gets worn down, and for a Knicks fan base that came into this season with high hopes the blowout loss to the Thunder was a start reminder of how far away they are from contender status right now.
