lol.

idk how in the HELL the knicks expect to compete starting jkidd like this. he’s 40 y/o for christs sake. he needs to be coming off the bench at this point.

then you have ronnie brewer, who is USELESS at this point.

that’s 2 fringe starters at best.

and anthony keeps getting fuckin injured… lmfao.

we’re overachieving at this point kiddos. i think a trade needs to be made. sheed, amare, shump, kidd, melo, felton – WAY too many godamm injuries to support a Finals team.

I’d consolidate some of this trash, and get us a rebounding forward who can actually sustain a 82 game schedule…

Although that suuucked, the last two games have shown that this team has a ton of heart and more pieces than we thought. Also they were both insanely fun to watch. I’m particularly encouraged by Camby’s return — he was excellent defensively — and by the thought that instead of playing KT with Chandler against teams with two bigs, we might be able to play Camby/Chandler for a twin towers like effect. Could be pretty stout against a team like Memphis (not too many teams like that out there, but still.) Copeland providing a bit of scoring (btw, love the Lee Nailon comp.) is a nice touch if we need to rest Melo down the stretch. Although that was a difficult ending, I think we can be pretty happy with the last couple of games…

Its alot easier to shake off tough Yankee losses like this because I have so much more faith in them lol.

Turnovers:

Knicks – 17
Kings – 10

That’s the story of the game, right there. Everything else is just noise.

Seth on Twitter mentioned how writing his recap for this game brought him bad mid-2000′s memories then I chimed in about how Lenny Wilkens got fired specifically because the Knicks lost like 3 games in a row this way.

Remember the Knicks entered 2005 in 1st place in the division at 16-13 before as mentioned they suffered a string of losses like tonight’s which lead to Wilkens “re-signing”. GOD why cant I shake off those bad memories……

scoreless for the last 2:50, just 3 points in the final 4:48, so close.

Well… I’ll toast a beer to the Knicks for showing me unequivocally, that no matter what, you can’t count them out this season. Smith and Copeland were fantastic with scoring (Smith for making wild shots and Copeland for making smart shots), Prig was unexpectedly great with assists, Camby and Chandler played good lockdown defense, Novak and Kidd made very timely hoops.

In the end, I’ll just blame Chandler for 3 of 9 FT shooting. Seriously, bro?

James Johnson 0-11 from 3 pt. range prior to that heave. Sometimes it’s just not meant to be.
