A few of the Knicks enjoy checking the pulse of fans online.

"I used to scan through RealGM.com all the time," Knicks guard Jamal Crawford said. "I was addicted to scrolling through and seeing what they were doing and talking about. Everybody has an opinion. It was kind of interesting to scroll through and see what the fans thought. They are heard."

The season has been such a disappointment that players have avoided the masses for the most part.

"No way," Crawford said. "I can only imagine what they might be saying."
