Oh well.

The Honorable Cock Jowles: Mother fucking tastycakes is back? This season really is full of surprises.

I’m not sure the regulars around here realize just how miserable this place was in recent years…

How many Ntilikina arguments can one person reasonably process before losing their sanity completely?

At the end of the day, without IQ and Burks we basically have no margin for error offensively and won’t win many games in which Randle is subpar and Barrett is awful. Gotta replace Knox/Frank/Harper/Pinson with guys who can help out in that regard, whether it’s through the draft or free agency.

Our destiny is still mostly in our own hands, as it seems unlikely Miami wins out. We’re better than all 3 teams we’re playing to finish the season and it’s incumbent on these guys to play like it. Meanwhile I am happy to donate my left knee to Alec Burks and my left ankle to Immanuel Quickley.

I think many of them are being blasé until LeBron gets back. Frontrunning-ass fans… remember these the same folks that “protested” outside Staples Center after LeBron’s first season he didn’t lead them into the playoffs. Nvm that that team was injury-plagued.

I mean I’m a Yankee fan, but I don’t recall us protesting outside the Stadium bc we haven’t won a World Series in over a decade.

Z-man:
Very tough loss, but hey, can’t have tough losses without having expectations. Most of us would have signed up for 3-3 going into this trip, so let’s come home and finish it out.

The loss sucked but this is why I ain’t bugging about it. Going 4-2 would have been amazing but yes 3-3 is perfectly acceptable.

We need another legit shot creator & playmaker – something we all know. And as painful as it looks, in a weird way part of me is OK with when the the offense grinds to a halt bc I feel Knick management will have no illusions on where to upgrade the team.

BTW with Kyrie’s injury, maybe if our destiny to play the Nets in a 3-6 matchup, that’s not such a bad thing….OMG imagine how many Knicks fans there would be in the Barclays Center!

Knew Your Nicks:

Dissapointing ending but going 3-3 on this West Coast Trip was a Trip to Paradise if we want to be fair.

This is a great season, the team made miracles all year long and the road trip was good,
yesterday they have a lot working against (last game of a long road trip, important rotation players missing and so on), but the feelings watching the game live are always affected by situation and opportunities,

We had a chance to clinch a “real” playoffs spot plus to send both the Lakers and Celtics to the Play-in. We lead most of the game but were unable to close both in regulation and overtime.

With an average shooting night from RJ and Bullock it’s an easy win, alas it didn’t happen.

I’m sure Thibs will have them ready for the homestand.
Let’s beat the pesky Spurs, clinch at least the 6th seed and then let the chips fall for for the first round matchup.

P.S.
I feel for CDiggy, we were so close… 🙂

Woke up at 7:?? and took a sneak peek at the score (87-84) and decided to let it end before watching it from the start without knowing the final score.
We may lost the game but We won Frankie Headband and i won some sleep!

Alan:
The worst part about waking up in he middle of the night is waking up in the middle of the night and being unable to go back to bed. The second worst is loading up that game result after waking up.

Don’t watch it, especially the last two minutes of regulation and the last of overtime…
