At this point, Knicks just became must watch. It’s appointment television, ladies and gentleman. I honestly don’t see myself missing another game. This is not hyperbole either. Watching their effort yesterday may have been the most fun I’ve had in long time. And it’s the Goddamn Xmas season. I was literally at a bar by myself chomping down 1/2 a fish sandwich and cup of chili (which was a little too dry) and I was laughing to myself like a school boy in love.
I mean, the Knicks, who were coming off a 44 point loss to Milwaukee, a few days ago, had a game back at the Garden against the Nuggets. Now the Nuggets are no slouch. They have the second best record in the West and legit contenders to come out of the Conference. But after losing by 44 points away from home and being absolutely EMBARRASSED.
you would think the Knicks would come out with some fight. Well lets give them credit, they were winning 27 – 26 with 1:29 left to go in the first quarter. After that it was the Julius Randle, Marcus Morris Sr. and Bobby Portis show. Missed threes, zero defense and one on one basketball. And the Fizz just kept going to these three like they’re part of the Knick future. You would think at some point the coach would say “Fuck it, let’s play these young guys 60 minuteS and see what they got” but NOPE. He continues to rely on washed up (Morris) no good (Randle) selfish (Portis) players to attempt to win games?
I mean we all know the Knicks are already gearing up for the 1st pick in the 2020 draft with 60 or so games left to be played, but Fizzdale is holding out hope for a playoff push. And if that sentence doesn’t make you laugh then you deserve coal in your Xmas stocking. Because there is a serious chance this team doesn’t win another GAME. I mean they’re that bad. So for any one looking for cheap smile and laugh this time a year. I suggest tuning in. I will be there every step of the way.
ps. im calling it now. rj Barrett is a bust. there isn’t one thing on the court he does above avg. And save me the excuse “he’s only 19!” wahhhh.
