A Bunch of Choke Artists.

Despite Andre Drummond destroying the Knicks in the paint and RJ Barrett having a horrendous game the Knicks were up by 5 points with 3:17 left on the clock in the 4th quarter and I knew they were going to lose. Why? Because against good teams they are a bunch of choke artists.

With Lebron nowhere in sight and Anthony Davis barely able to walk the Lakers took it to the Knicks in the final minutes of the 4th quarter, taking the game into overtime and sending the hapless Knicks back home with a 3-3 west coast road record.

With all the talk about the 90's style defense the current group of Knicks play it is apparent that when matched with equal defensive effort by their opponent they don't have the fire power to win and fold like cheap suits.

Playing their asses off is the only victory to take from this season Knicks fans. Remove any silliness about getting the right playoff spot to get to the second round. They still haven't clinched a spot in the playoffs. Just enjoy the fact that your team entertained you this season. 

This collection of Knicks will not be here next season. Enjoy them while you have them.

Knicks lose again, Lakers 101- 99 Knicks.

The Knicks are no problem for good teams

Again the Knicks hustled and kept the game close for three quarters. But as usual, in the fourth quarter the apposing team's superstars assert themselves and the Knicks simply do not have the fire power or seasoning to stave off defeat.

Jae Crowder and Chris Paul kicked it into gear and pulled away from the Knicks to cruise to an easy victory.

It was quite hilarious watching Knicks fans before the current road trip talk about how many wins the Knicks would manage away from home and how much of a problem this team is. 

This is a scrappy unit the beats terrible teams. It is not a problem for teams with seasoned veteran superstars to beat them at the end of games. And that us not going to change in the playoffs.

What you need to really need to be happy about this season Knicks fans is that Obi Toppin has finally settled down and now looks like a professional basketball player.

Be happy that Julius Randle has accept the responsibility of being a leader and the star of a franchise and not simply a guy chasing a max contract.

Be delighted that you have a coach that is not going to put up with any meddling from James Dolan. 

You now have a chance to have players experience years of continuity and learn how to win together. That is until they get tired of hearing Thib's voice and begin to tune him out which has been his history and every other coaching job he's had.

Let's hope you can eek out a good playoff run in a couple of years before the fans and players chase Thibodaux out the door.
