Your team is not good enough to win anything right now.



Chris Paul and Devin Booker showed last night why this is not the Knicks season to upset anyone.

Despite playing a close game and taking advantage of the Suns inability to hit three point shots in the first half the Knicks are still no match for dominant superstars in the clutch to close out games.

Let's be honest, in the NBA if you play a consistent style of disciplined basketball you have a very good chance of winning a fair amount of games.

There will be nights when teams are coming off back to back games and long distance traveling that just are not going to have 4 quarters of good basketball to give. Those situations are what the Knicks took advantage of, and they should, during this latest streak of wins.

However, having rested and coming off a tough loss to the Nets a day ago there was no chance in hell the Chris Paul and Devin Booker were going down in defeat to the Knicks.

In the fourth quarter you saw what happens to the Knicks when two superstars exert their will. The Knicks had nothing to stop them and don't know how to fight of impending doom, and that is okay, they are not a bunch of seasoned veterans.

Knicks fans, on your best night your team could not beat the Suns. A team that got its ass handed to them by the Nets. Just enjoy your regular season and hope for the future. Your team is not good enough to win anything right now.

Knicks lose again, Suns 118 - Knicks 110.

TAKE NOTE! YOUR TEAM SUCKS



Well well well Knicks fans. Now that you have to face winning teams and do a little traveling here come all the excuses. Your team is tired, Thib's rotation is not working out, there is poor chemistry. Everything you can think of to rationalize losing. But there is only one answer, your team sucks.

Julius Randle has been figured out by the rest of the league and had another poor game. He is not the superstar answer you were hoping for. He is just a solid piece.

This year's first round draft pick is only above Frederick Weiss in the list of Knicks first round draft picks because he actually decided to show up. Other than that Obi Toppin gives you nothing on the floor. His poor play has forced coach Thibodaux to play Julius more minutes than he had hoped and Randle has no hit the wall.

The Knicks have now lost three games in a row. I tried to give them a break and not write about this team hoping that they'd bounce back because frankly sometimes I get tired of talking about how god awful this team is.

This team has mentally checked out to the point where the league really needs to consider implementing a mercy rule. Just let the Knicks forfeit the remaining games if they don't win against the Pistons tomorrow and spare the rest of us from watching this train wreck.

I would have left this game alone had I not heard trash talk from Knicks fans again speaking about how the Nets will never win New York. Knicks fans, have you looked out the window lately? You can have New York City. It has always been Brooklyn against the world and that's the way we like it over here.

You can attempt to tie Nets history exclusively to New Jersey all you wish, we know this team began in New York. My first basketball as a child was a red, white and blue ABA ball because of the New York Nets. 

Congratulations, the Knicks own New York City and fortunately for us New York City owns the Knicks. You're both broken down, relics of the past whose better days stretch back to the previous century with no hope in site. You deserve each other.

Knicks lose again, Mavericks 99 - 86 Knicks.

The Knicks are not winners



There are no moral victories Knicks fans. Your team is very young as doesn't know how to win. 

Yes they don't have another "superstar" to go along with Julius Randle, however for two nights in a row they played playoff teams minus its star payers and although they kept both games close the Knicks are not yet winners.

Between playing the Nets and the 76ers last nights game against Philly minus Joseph Embiid should have been the one to take.

Last night was an opportunity for the Knicks first round draft pick Obadiah Toppin and Nerlens Noel to take advantage of Philly not having its star center. Unfortunately, Toppin continued to look like the bust he has been the entire season and got zero points. Noel was only able to add 6 points for the entire game. 

Knicks management failed Toppin for not sending him to the G League after the season began. Toppin lacks confidence on the floor in my opinion because he has not mentally caught up with the NBA game. 

No big man camp is going to help Toppin, he needs to be on the floor with good competition playing at near NBA speed and tempo. Hopefully the Knicks will find away to get him in a league overseas before the start of next season.

The missing piece to make the Knicks real contenders is a dominant center in my opinion.

Frank Ntilikina came up with another game scoring zero points and Alec Burks immaturity and low basketball IQ have almost guaranteed their exit from this team.

Knicks lose again, 76ers 99 - 96 Knicks
