The Kings of New York lost again

Down the stretch of the final minutes of tonight's game you could clearly hear NBA Coach of the year Tom Thibodaux yelling "ISO, ISO".  Which meant that he wanted to run an ISO offense through Julius Randle. 

Of course this did not work as the Raptors could hear him yelling it also and collapsed on Randle the moment he touched the ball.

Randle scrambled to find an open man but the other Knicks could not find the basket when they did get the ball and the Knicks lost the brief lead it had in the final minutes of the 4th quarter. 

You need look no further than at the difference in fast break points to diagnose why the Knicks lost. The Raptors had 21 fast break points and the Knicks only 9. Again this team was out hustled. 

On the bright side, Evan Fournier must have gone vegan because he had a whooping 9 points and zero assists tonight.

The Kings of New York loss to the Raptors leaves both teams with the record of 12-14.

In the next three games the Knicks face the Bucks, the Warriors and the red hot Rockets at Madison Square Garden where the Knicks out right suck. Which in all likelihood means that the Knicks will be 5 games under .500 in the next few days.

Wait, Tom Thibodeau was really named coach of the year last season?

A bad case of the bubble guts

The Knicks fans showed more fight on YouTube and in the Discords than the

Knicks did against the Pacers tonight.

Everything was thrown at each other during the arguments. Kemba being banished by coach Thibs, the lack of chemistry between Randle and Fournier, the weak effort coming off a win the night before and sorry front office management.

I loved every minute of it.

Thibs didn't really explain why the Knicks played lifeless, but he did look emotionally drained. No more lies to tell his fans, I guess. Evan Fournier had a more visceral answer for his poor play.

Evan Fournier told reporters that he ate a steak in San Antonio the night before and had a bad case of the bubble guts which slowed him down. I am certain the trainers have Imodium AD if he really had the dookies that bad before the game tonight.

After the laughter passed the talk then went to the trade deadline and who should be moved from this team and why.

It's too bad the chat was more interesting than the game. But we all know the result.

Don't you ever fix your mouths to say you are the best team in New York City ever again.

I woke up late this afternoon determined to exercise, eat some oatmeal and get some real work and study done. No entertainment for me.

That plan lasted about 5 minutes. I saw my favorite sports YouTuber (The Entertainah Talkin Sports) was doing Knicks play by play so I decided to check in for a moment to see what was going on.

To my surprise, delight and glee the Knicks were getting their asses kicked in the 3rd quarter.

Making the most of this delicious Saturday I turned the game on, killed the play by play and listened to Knicks fans whine and plead for mercy as the Knicks took blow after blow.

I haven't laughed so hard all year, it was beautiful. Even Obi Toppin missing an alleyoop dunk was side splitting for some reason.

I think I know why I reacted this way. 

For the past month I heard a steady stream of lying from Knicks fans about how they were so close last season, the Knicks are the best team in New York and this team has so much more talent than the Nets.

These were nothing but pure sweet lies you told yourselves because you refuse to admit that the Knicks have not been close to winning anything since the Patrick Ewing years.

Your team was blown out at home by a weak Denver Nuggets team and now your are below .500. You are what your record says you are.

Don't you ever fix your mouths to say you are the best team in New York City ever again.
