Jon, I can't thank you enough for your hard work and tireless efforts all season long. In all aspects of KFS, you not only lead the ship, you helped calibrate the mood. No matter how upset you might get, no matter how bad things got with the team, you would always try to reach out and find a positive, sometimes in a sea of negatives. You defended the coach against the pervasive and ultimately useless calls from fans to fire him, which the obviously were never going to do this year. Luckily for you, Thibs, and anyone sharing your point of view, Hashtag using, keyboard warriors don't and will never dictate to any Front office what there moves should be.

That's not to say he hasn't earned a fair share of criticism for the season, he certainly has. Which brings me to my 2nd point. Most of, not all, but most of the halftime Zoom participants are the best, least reactionary Knicks fans that you'll find anywhere. So if you are reading this, cheers to you guys. Whether you hated Thibs, hated Randle, etc etc, the Zoom crowd/i.e Newsletter crowd, was the the most articulate, most nuanced, and most fun bunch of Knicks fans I've met. Diverse opinions, but 99.9% nice and respectful folks. I think that also speaks to those who actually read, and read more than Twitter/Reddit sized chunks of text. A more intellectual crowd for sure. Shout out to Ray, Kevin, Shawn, George, Dean, and the rest of the Zoom regulars, you guys made this season way more fun than it would've been otherwise. I feel fortunate and grateful to know you all.

Lastly, while these articles were great last season, but I feel as though this season your writing has reached new peaks,and new depths, and I'm sincerely grateful to get to see another artist improving their craft, and I think you should be proud of all your hard work. Thank you for everything Jon, let's hope for a productive off-season! LGK

The amount of spin and damage control the MSG announcers were doing in last nights game was annoying. One statement during the broadcast was basically, fans are wrong to complain about Randle blocking Toppin's chances to play. Clyde argued that they can play together, which was nonsense as we just watched a whole season where that didn't happen.
