Awww Knicks fans, don't cry. It's just one game. You guys will be okay.
Will you please now stop with all the fake tough talk about how you are the best team in New York City?
Will you please now stop with all the defense wins championships stuff and your team will be a tough out? No you won't. Your star had an awful game and the rest of the team has no playoff experience.
Don't blame Frank Ntilikina because Trae Young got around him for the winning shot. Trae goes around everyone.
It is not fair to ask a guy who only played about 90 seconds to come off the bench cold and no feel for the game to save the day with a stop on defense. Blame Julius Randle whose shot was tighter than Lizzo's waist band. Julius couldn't hit an elephant in the ass with a 2 by 4 tonight.
If Julius doesn't find his confidence in his day off the Knicks will get swept.
I told you guys that making the playoffs was the accomplishment to build on and not have false hopes about a playoff run. That was ridiculous. Now all the pressure is on the Knicks who have lost the homecourt advantage.
I didn't think the first round would be so entertaining.
The Knicks kept the game close until the final seconds I must admit. The home crowd thought they were on the verge of witnessing the first playoff win in damn near a decade.
We saw Spike Lee jumping around, Tracy Morgan dancing, all up in the videos. Or so they thought until Trae Young crossed up Frank and gave the fans the kiss of defeat with the tear drop of death.
I'm loving this.
Knicks lose again, Atlanta 107 - 105 Knicks.
