New York Knicks 112 – Atlanta Hawks 107 – Game Recap

: Post-Game Recap : Written by Farfa : 11-08-2018

Dum-dum-dum, another win bites the dust. A worthy last installment of the Suckitude trilogy, tonight’s game left us with the bittersweet aftertaste of victory among the uneven development of some of our youngsters. I can’t shake the feeling that every win that comes on the heels of playing Kanter, Hezonja or whoever else who’s not part of our future is ultimately slightly detrimental to us, but it’s not like you can ask your coach to throw games away just because. This one was easily foreseeable, anyway (as I predicted two days ago), so we take it and move on. The …continue reading

Chicago Bulls 116 – New York Knicks 115 (2 OT) – Game Recap

: Post-Game Recap : Written by Farfa : 11-06-2018

So we weren’t able to play 48 minutes of good basketball… how about 58 minutes of filth? Look, I’m as big a fan of basketball as anyone, but tonight I was begging for my life that the game would just be over already, whatever the final score. If the game against the Wizards was the worst Knicks game, this one takes the cake as the worst overall game. And it just wouldn’t quit! It was like an all you can eat of slightly spoiled asian fusion food: you love it at first, but after the twentieth or so small plate you …continue reading

New York Knicks 95 – Washington Wizards 108 – Game Recap

: Post-Game Recap : Written by Farfa : 11-05-2018

It seems like late fourth quarter meltdowns are becoming a thing for this team. In what was probably the worst game played by the Knicks this season, we’ve witnessed the team stumble and bumble again in the last 8 minutes, reinforcing the Fizdale quote from before the last Nets game: “We’re playing college basketball right now; good for 40 minutes but not for 48″. This game was not very fun to watch, even when the team was on its patented good third quarter/fake comeback (the score was tied with just 9:13 to go in the fourth quarter). Lots of putrid …continue reading

New York Knicks 118 – Dallas Mavericks 106 – Game Recap

So, it looks like we just can’t help ourselves beating bad teams, huh? Our Bockers had themselves another great third quarter and pretty much steamrolled the Mavs and seemed to be further alongside the rebuilding path than those Dallas jersey wearing guys. Honestly, when you’re playing young guys as much as we did tonight, you take the win even if it might be bad for the tank. This is what development looks like. Having the game won by (mostly) fresh legs, playing your vets only if/when needed, that’s what we did tonight. And it was fun! The good: – I …continue reading

Indiana Pacers 107 – New York Knicks 101 – Game Recap

: Post-Game Recap, Uncategorized : Written by Farfa : 11-01-2018

Following this team this season is a very peculiar experience. You find yourself thrilled when the team is winning thanks to the young guys, and you find similarly thrilled when you realized that, despite their best effort, you’re gonna bag another loss that brings you closer to a top-5 2019 pick. This game was exactly like that. An intensely fought back and forth that ended up in a couple fortitous offensive possessions by Indiana. 2-6 is what I would have predicted at this point, which is ok. What makes it more than ok is the fact that we’re actually developing our …continue reading

Brooklyn Nets 95 – New York Knicks 116 – Game Recap

: Post-Game Recap : Written by Farfa : 10-30-2018

“Don’t it always seem to go/that you don’t know what you got till it’s gone?”. Damn, it felt good to have the third worst record in the NBA. There are some things in life you really can’t avoid, though, no matter how actively you try to. The win tonight was one of them; these Nets were completely listless, especially on the boards, and apart from the first minutes of the game couldn’t hit anything. But alas, how can we complain about a win against a bad team, giving again a lot of minutes to our juniors? I guess it’s ok, after all. …continue reading

New York Knicks 105 – Brooklyn Nets 107 – Game Recap

: Post-Game Recap : Written by Farfa : 10-20-2018

Mick Jagger used to sing “You can’t always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you will find, you get what you need!”, and that’s exactly what we got tonight, and maybe more. A highly competitive loss where our youngsters play a lot of minutes, learn their trade and generally play well? Count me in for a season of this! Maybe, just maybe, sprinkle a win here and there as not to make my dopamine level drop too low. By now you should be acquainted with my writing gimmicks, so let’s not waste any more time and let’s …continue reading
