On another note, ROAD TRIP! Driving down to Delray Beach FL with my boy tomorrow for spring break. Look for me in the next Geezers Gone Wild video….

I missed the second half after listening to the first half on radio. (PS John Wallace is not very good as a commentator.) Sounds like a good game to have missed.

OTOH, Miami just got beat by Orlando. Is that worse than us losing to Charlotte? And if BOS holds on vs. ATL it looks like a no harm, no foul night, unless you think the new BKN is for real.

As much as this week has sucked the Knicks are clearly better than the Heat and Nets. I mentioned earlier the schedule once this road trip ends is pretty favorable to the Knicks, I will be shocked if they fall to 7th.

It’s a much better strategy to figure out what you can do right, than to look at what others can do wrong. That having been said, it would be lovely to get a gift from the Magic tonight. And it looks like we will!

Butler just hit an absolutely ridiculous 3pter to send the Heat Magic game to OT. Brooklyn won a bullshit game in OT last night and if the Heat pull out this game the Knicks luck has officially hit rock bottom.

Looked like Miami was gonna lose to Orlando but Jimmy Butler with the 3 to force OT!

Gonna be a sweat for that 6th seed…

I loved the team effort and think we should have won this game. Defense was good for most of the game. We got a ton of offensive rebounds. We made our free throws. We out hassled the Clippers throughout the game. Only bad spots were first half RJ, because a sloth is a sloth, and especially Randle. Randle was at best inconsistent defensively, shot an atrocious 5-24 on offense, and eventually imploded at the end of the third quarter affecting the focus of the team. They lost faith after that fragrant foul. He lost us the game with his attitude. It was not fatigue; it was all mental. Clippers coach admitted they were intentionally physical with him in order to keep him off balance. It worked!

so hopefully we win the last 10…

the knicks are mentally fatigued at the moment…

thibs didn’t sense it, kept the peddle to the metal on julius – and now he’s broken for a bit…

talk about eye test; yet, there must be other data the medical, front office, coaching staff can see that could help avoid these very very predictable and amazingly obvious situations…

I’m not sure how “proactive” the team’s medical folks are – thibs is a fiend – definitely can’t trust him…

julius ain’t asking for help, except in other kind of ways…

and there they are now…should have rested him against charlotte…

In reply to Brian Cronin.

I’m actually in San Diego for a visit, but I still thought I had the right time for the game. Boo me! I blame myself for the loss.

I was going to say, in regards to my 49 win prediction, that it was a matter of “10-4, good buddy,” because the Knicks have to go 10-4 to win 49 games. I thought that that was a lot more likely before this loss.
