Funny how a week can change things.


This time last week, the Knicks fans were puffing out their chests and talking cash money shit.

Fans on social media had all the smoke for anyone thinking that they weren't good enough to compete for the Eastern Conference this season.

Funny how a week can change things.

Now Knicks fans are on YouTube and Twitter proposing all manner of fantasy trades to anyone who will entertain them.

The bloom has fallen off the rose, the fans are beginning to panic, and I absolutely love it.

It was bad enough to lose at home on the night that Willis Reed passed away, but tonight's loss to the lowly Orlando Magic put the cherry on top to my wonderful week.

The Knicks traveled to Florida hoping to right the ship and get back to looking like a team with hope. Well, they could have stayed at home.

Again, for the third game in a row, the Knicks have decided that they don't need to hustle and guard the three point line. Any team with a big man that can shoot a three pointer exposes them for who they are.

Randle got his points as usual (23), but he had stretches of inefficiency that the sorry bench could not overcome on offense and defense.

This will teach you Knicks fans to stop looking at the schedule and taking teams lightly. No one is going to roll over for this team, no matter how hot Knicks fans think they are.

If Jacque Vaughn wasn't the coach of the Brooklyn Nets, the Knicks would be back in 6th place, but as long as Vaughn is there, the Knicks will finish ahead of the Nets.

The Knicks lose again, New York 106 - 111 Orlando.

Playing in Madison Square Garden is just what every scrub in the league needs.

 


Knicks fans don't start all your whining about how the team should never have given Julius Randle an extension. You same people were chanting "MVP" after every big shot Randle made last season.

This is the same Julius Randle that everyone praised for working so hard to improve his game and his desire be here.

There will be no Randle trades and coach Thibodeaux will not be fired.

To hear it from you guys the Knicks were not only the best team in the city but were on the cusp of making a run for the NBA title. What had happened?

Do you now realize how crazy you all sounded?

The Knicks are not driving you guys crazy. You are doing that to yourselves.

The Knicks last season was comprised of mediocre talent whose defensive hustle allowed them to fight above their weight. But this was never really a good team.

Signing broken down old point guards and allowing underappreciated defensive talent to walk was clearly a recipe of disaster. You guys had to know this. Stop acting surprised that you guys were going to be lucky if the Knicks made the playoffs this season.

The bar was set so low for this franchise that the stubborn unimaginative Thibodeaux actually won coach of the year last season.

Again, a guy came off the bench for the Magic and had his best night. Terrence Ross who normally averages 10 points per game had 19 points, 2 assists and 2 rebounds.

Playing the Knicks in Madison Square Garden is just what every scrub in the league needs to gain his confidence, have a career night and carry his team to victory.

The Knicks are the gift that keeps on giving. 

Knicks Lose Again, Magic 104 - 98 Knicks.

One things for damn sure...Knicks lose again

How can it be? The Knicks lost to Orlando?

From all the Knicks YouTube channels and local media the Knicks were supposed to crush the Magic. What had happened?!?

I'll tell you what happened. Cole Anthony did give a tinker's damn about any of the Knicks hype. The rookie Cole came into the Garden and abused the Knicks' backcourt for 29 points. 

The Knicks got so happy with the shooting success in the past couple of games that they completely forgot about the identity of the team which is defense.

The question now is can the Knicks find a balance between playing hard defense while keeping up with guys off screens and looking to out score the opponent?

Time will tell, but one thing's for damn sure... Knicks lose again.

Orlando 110 - Knicks 104
