Payton Place is a Terrible Neighborhood

The Knicks played relatively well for the first quarter and a half of last nights game but it was apparent into the second quarter that this team had two blaring issues that would not be overcome tonight.

The first issue was the trash play at the point guard position. And Second were those god awful Brooklyn Nets Basquiat uniform rip offs. Even Clyde Frazier chimed in on the knockoffs saying that he had thrown away better.

Elfrid Payton, starting at point tonight in place of the injured Immanuel Quickly went a consistent 0-6 shooting last night but it was his single assist that really crushed the Knicks. 

RJ Barret didn't help matters much either missing 13 of his 15 shot attempts. He has the green light to shoot since he is the "star" the team is attempting to develop but he would have been more help to the team by focusing on rebounds and playing hack an Embiid to make himself useful tonight. Ben Simmons on defense ate Barret up all night. 

If I were a Knicks fan I'd tweet to Barret and implore him to get some time on the practice court with Bernard King but I am not so I am going to hope that he continues to suck and have no moves in the paint against the likes of Simmons.

With Obi Toppin out with a calf strain and Mitchell Robinson too light to fight, too thin to win and too dumb to run, the Knicks had no answer inside the paint for Joel Embiid.

Julius Randle had a solid game with 25 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists but tonight it was as if he was playing one against five with no help from his teammates.

When asked about the poor shooting tonight, Coach Thibodeau stated that the team took quality shots but they just weren't falling. I think he has set the bar too low for the definition of quality in my humble opinion.

As awful and short handed as the team was tonight at the point guard position I did find it surprising that Frank Ntilikina only got two minutes of run. I quite frankly would be insulted and would demand a trade come Monday morning if I were him. 

Frank, don't just sit there being disrespected by this coach and sorry ass team. You are going to have to take it upon yourself to save your career Frank. Thibodeau is not looking out for you. Go west young man.

Knicks lose again, 76ers 109 - Knicks 89. Season record: 0-2

Pucker Up Buttercup!

 

The Knicks kept it competitive yesterday for one half but in the third quarter Oladipo and the rest of the Pacers shook off the rust and imposed their will on the Knicks.

The Knicks shooting 33% for the second half didn't help the cause either as the Knicks fell in defeat.

There were many Knicks fans calling up the sports talk shows yesterday attempting to poo poo on the Brooklyn Nets win and all they did was succeed at sounding like a bunch of fucking idiots, again.

One caller tried to admonish Kevin Durant for not being animated enough when he responded to the questions after the game. But the majority of the callers spoke about the Warriors not being much of a team and therefore the win didn't really mean anything.

Let me give you a little lesson about winning teams Knicks fans which I am certain you don't know anything about because you are a Knicks fan and have never actually seen it.

A great team goes out and utterly fucking destroys a bad team exactly the way Brooklyn did last night. 

The great team imposes its will early and literally beats out all hope out of the lesser team before half time by running up the lead to almost insurmountable numbers. 

And most importantly, It also has a bench that is deep enough to allow its stars to rest for almost two complete quarters before winning. That's for Stephen A Smith and his ridiculous idea about trading the Nets core players for James "I Channel Carmelo Anthony" Harden.

I know you Knicks fans less than 65 years old have never seen anything like that in Madison Square Garden but ummm that's the way it actually works.

Knicks fans, you have my permission to continue watching the Nets crush, kill and destroy their way through the East so in about six years when your team has a chance to win something this won't be so foreign to you.

However, if your booties are this tight after Brooklyn wins one game what will you have left to pucker up when the NBA championship parade is coming down Flatbush Avenue?!?

Brooklyn Keeps on Takin' It

Knicks fans, I need your help.

You guys talk about how irrelevant the Nets are in New York City daily. You talk about how the Nets are no better than the Washington wizards. Next you talk about how much the Nets are a dumpster fire and can't possibly compete for a championship. But I have one question for you.

If the Nets are so terrible why do you keep the Nets in your mouths so much? 

Knicks fans and sports writers who claim that the Brooklyn Nets starring Durant and Irving are the worst thing that ever happened since Hurricane Katrina talk about the Nets more than they actually talk about the Knicks. 

How can they argue that the Nets will never win New York when the Nets are all they think and talk about? Whether beloved or most hated one thing is clear, the Brooklyn Nets have already taken over New York. Like it or not.

Kevin Never Wanted A Knicks Jersey Get Over It

Kevin Durant made a statement that has a lot of Knicks fans panties in a bunch. 

Kevin stated that he just wants to play basketball and chill. He is not motivated by any fake cries for a new savior with him in the starring role.

Kevin stated that he has no desire to be the king of New York, that playing with his friends and winning championships is enough for him. You wouldn't think that would be a problem for most people but not so fast.

Talk show hosts on the FAN have spun Kevin's words to say that he doesn't want the "pressure" of playing for the Knicks. What fucking pressure? The team is the most losing franchise in professional sports.

Kevin is saying that he wanted no part of being in James Dolan's circus of failure held at Madison Square Garden. Fact is Knicks fans, no self respecting superstar does either.

It is going to suck for the next three or four years watching parade's going down Flatbush Avenue for the reining NBA champions. I get it, I really do. But lying about Kevin or joking about if he will ever play again, like Boomer Esiason, is not very becoming of you. 

It is one thing to be a bunch of losers, now you guys are beginning to look and sound like a bunch of losers too. Chill for the sake of your children who are watching you.

Sorry Knicks fans but this just ain't your night

The rumor mill is swirling tonight Knicks fans and it is not looking to good for you guys.

The first rumor directly concerning your team has Frank Nitilinkina demanding a trade and will not return to the Knicks under any circumstances. Frank is currently in France recovering from his injury.

I hope the rumor is true and Frank can go someplace that will allow him to regain his confidence. I would love to see Mike D'antoni get ahold of him. Frank brings his defense in his lunch bag and Mike can help him 'become a confident scorer. That would be a win for both.

The second big rumor of the night is that Zach LaVine wants out of Chicago and both the Knicks and the Brooklyn Nets are eager to make a deal.

I could easily see LaVine agreeing to join the Nets for the playoff run in exchange for Spencer Dinwiddie and Jarrett Allen. Dinwiddie has worn out his welcome and there are not enough minutes for both him, Kyrie and Caris LeVert next season. Allen would only sweeten the deal so much it would be almost impossible for the Bulls to turn down.

The Knicks don't have have anything that Chicago would want and LaVine certainly doesn't want to play for a team that has no chance of competing for a title for decades to come.

Sorry Knicks fans but this just ain't your night. Order a pizza and some beer and at least enjoy something this evening.

Just lay back and enjoy it.

It was reported today in RealGM that the Knicks are not currently negotiating with any candidates for the head coaching position. This could only mean one thing. Their person of interest is currently in the bubble coaching on one of the playoff teams.

So Knicks fans it will be months not weeks before your beloved team hires a new coach and it definitely won't be any of your favorites not working.

Tom Thibodeau is still rumored to be the guy they want but I wouldn't count on it if I were you. Your team never does the right thing. Just lay back and enjoy it.

The stupidity never ceases with this franchise. Even with all the new hires and the global pandemic. These losers still come up short on purpose.

Larry Brown Sports reported on a tweet released by Ian Begley at SportsNet New York, https://twitter.com/IanBegley/status/1268571639207407616, that Mike Woodson is being included on the list of coaches interviewing for the Knicks head coach position.

Why they, the Knicks, would want Mr. Potato Head back at MSG shooting himself in the foot again is beyond me. That's their problem. What gets me, and why I am so happy I no longer have any feelings for this franchise, is why Mark Jackson, Jason Kidd and Patrick Ewing are not being considered. This is clearly a case of this organization failing to do its due diligence. Nothing ever changes.

You can argue that Patrick has no experience being a head coach in the NBA but that is his only knock. All three of the guys I named have a history with this franchise as players, ties to New York City and all still want to see the Knicks do well. In addition to being great coaches these are guys young players and top tier veterans know and can relate to.

But no, the Knicks are interviewing a man who KD and Kyrie Irving have already told the rest of the league that he is not qualified to take a team to the next level and a former Knicks coach who also left in disgrace. Why to go MSG.

Teams aren't even playing and the Knicks lose again in June. Unbelievable.

What a fucking shit hole of a franchise.

Hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up.

You mean to tell me that a Knicks fan came out on the court, hit a half court shot and his prize was a bunch of scratch off lottery tickets?!?

You gotta be shittin' me.

What a fucking shit hole of a franchise.

And the Nets will never win the city?!? As soon as KD laces'em up its fucking over for you guys.

Some god damn scratch lottery tickets. Pfft

I just found out that the guy who hit the shot received $1,000 dollars in scratch off tickets and won $500 bucks. Why not just give him the fucking thousand dollars?!? Bunch of idiots.
