Asinine Tomfoolery

Tonight the Knicks faced the Milwaukee Bucks and quite frankly both of these sorry teams play almost zero defense and acted like neither wanted to win.

The game came down to the wire and the combination of not boxing out, having no interior defense whatsoever and Carmelo and Novack missing big shots resulted in the Knicks loss.

You know I really had to laugh hard several times tonight.

The Knicks had hundreds of millions of dollars worth of forwards on the floor tonight and neither one of them is capable of boxing out when a shot is in the air. The same crime Jeremy Lin is guilty of also but theirs are more egregious because they are forwards and often around the rim on both sides of the floor. Pure comedy.

Milwaukee got easy put backs all night, the final dagger coming after Lin played rather inspired defense on Brandon Jennings forcing him to toss up a wild shot that should have easily been rebounded by a Knick but since Carmelo wouldn't know a box out if it stole his chicken McNuggets some scrub on the Bucks caught the ball and made a shot putting the Bucks up for good.

You Carmelo apologists please continue to make excuses for him, I just don't get it. I even heard one idiot last week mention Melo in the same breath with Kobe when comparing the number of shots taken as if Melo has one championship ring let alone the four that Kobe has.

When Marshmelo has the hardware he can toss up as many wild shots he wants. For someone who only got to the NBA finals with a ticket like everybody else the Kobe comparisons are pure asinine tomfoolery. But Melo got his points and that's all that matters to the "basketball expert" writers.


The Knicks Lose Again, Bucks 119 - Knicks 114

No big deal

Not a good loss but not the worse thing in the world.

The Spurs took advantage of the Knicks not having any interior defense with both Tyson Chandler and Jared Jeffries out due to injury.

Jeffries would have taken multiple charging fouls and Tyson would have blocked the cutters that did make it to the rim and the Knicks probably would have won.

No big deal.

What a fucking joke

Just when the Knicks "second unit" completes a 15 - 0 run and get the Knicks up by one Mike D'Antoni sinks this team again.


Like the Celtics game Baron Davis was the best point guard going into the final minutes of the fourth quarter and of course D'Antoni pulls both him and Harrelson out of the game bringing back Lin and Anthony to seal the deal and hand over the game to the Dallas Mavericks.

Mikey is going to "coach" his way right out of a job and the sooner the better.

As I began writing this post Marshmelo went 2 for 12 from the field and about 50% from the free throw line in addition to a bunch of careless low basketball IQ blunders. Marshmelo was more preoccupied with talking shit to Shawn Marion than actual rotating the ball, cutting to the basket and playing defense.

This notion that Carmelo has to comeback on the floor and take the final shots is ridiculous. He sucked last night and Amare was red hot. Are the experts really attempting to argue that it is more important to make Carmelo feel loved and wanted than actually winning games?!? Really?!?

Right now the Knicks are a better basketball team with Anthony off the floor but Knicks fans are stuck with him for the next five years as the face of the franchise.  What a fucking joke.

How long is this team going to allow their opponents to physically abuse Jeremy Lin without retaliation? The Mavericks were not even faking swings at the ball when they hit Lin in the head over and over again. But Lin will continue to get battered and bruised as long as other teams know there will not be a price to pay. More signs of a soft and gutless basketball team.
