It's not bad in MSG, it's really bad

Quentin Grimes set the Knicks rookie record for three point shots in a game with 7. Grimes finished the game leading all Knicks scorers with 27 points.

It was all for naught however because the Knicks got their asses kicked by the Bucks this afternoon as Giannis registered his first triple double of the season.

If the season ended today the Knicks would not be in the playoffs and I have a feeling it'll be the same when the season ends.

It's not bad in MSG, it's really bad and it is not going to get any better.

A younger more forward thinking coach would focus on developing Sims, Grimes, Quickley, Toppin and Barrett. Preparing them either to be the cornerstones of this franchise or solid desirable pieces for superstar trades in the near future.

In order to do that the coach of the year would have to shift his paradigm and I don't think it's going to happen with this old dog.

Knicks lose again, Bucks 112 - 97 Knicks.

You guys can always watch the Nets if you want to see good basketball.

Coach Thibs went contrary to his nature and allowed the bench to finish out the game once it got close and it cost the Knicks tonight.

Thibs must have left his short leash in the locker room which he needed when the Knicks defense failed to protect the 3 point line and allowed the Milwaukee Bucks to hit 26 3 point shots on their way to victory.

The three point line is where the elite teams live and die in today's NBA so if the Knicks can't step up and force shooters off the three point line then they don't have a chance to compete in the playoffs. If they make the playoffs.

Let's face it Fournier was a sexy signing but completely wrong for the make up of this team. He is inconsistent at scoring and God awful at defense all the time.

It was a scrappy effort again tonight but geesh how many scrappy defeats must you fans endure before you toss your cookies. Can we agree that "always in the game" no longer means anything?

What is extremely alarming that no Knicks fan can dispute is how terrible this team plays at home. If you can't win in Madison Square Garden there is zero hope for you this season.

Next for the Knicks is Charlotte in Charlotte so they might have a chance to win but then the following three games will be played at the Garden which doesn't look promising. You guys can always watch the Nets if you want to see good basketball.

Knick lose again, Bucks 112 - Knicks 100
