Do you know why?

When the Knicks fell behind the pistons by 18 points I was certain that the game was over, especially with Carmelo Anthony's poor shooting night.

However, a little hope did spring when the young Knicks took the floor and fought back to get close enough to tie the game.

Unfortunately, the Knicks didn't have a second dynamic scorer on the floor who could make baskets and draw fouls late in the game and do you know why?

Because that other dynamic player who might have helped the Knicks win last night was suspended for his attempt to crack the nuts of Glen Davis Jr.. That's right the league got wise to JR Smith's antics against the Wizards and suspended his ass for last night's game.

JR's roster spot could be had by someone who is going to be on the floor when needed but what the hell do I know.

One more thing. What the hell is up with this fantasy that you guys have with Jose Calderon? He's in his mid thirties, has been on damn near every team in the league and was coming of the bench last season in Dallas. If he was as freaking great as the local media is playing him up as the Knicks would never have had a shot of getting him.

Calderon is a middle aged player at the tail end of his career he ain't the second coming of Isiah Thomas so stop it already.

We're not even going to discuss Andrea Bargnani, "the great stretch four", these same media types had Amare' Stoudemire losing his playing minutes to when he was traded here.

The Wizards are better than the Knicks.

The answer for last nights loss is simply that the Wizards are better than the Knicks. It's not anymore complicated than that.

Once the Wizards tightened the defense against New york in the third quarter the Knicks fell right back into the routine of isolation basketball looking for Carmelo to bail them out instead of sticking to the system and every man stepping his game up.

Did Phil Jackson really get rid of Raymond Felton because he was a bad influence on the team when JR Smith is still elbowing guys in the nuts?

JR will be suspended for last nights shenanigans you can bet money on it leaving the Knicks short handed and will cost them games in his absence.

I can't even laugh at this debacle

last nights game was so revealing and honest on so many levels Knicks fans can't have anything but hope for the future.

So, a triangle has only three sides?!?

Finally you now can admit to yourselves that this entire team including Carmelo Anthony are made up of isolation basketball players. That is their skill set and how their motor skills are set. No new system or philosophy on life is going to change that.

This season is strictly for the benefit of Derek Fisher and Phil Jackson to learn their new positions.

The Knicks are not going to even make the playoffs this season so its best you stop torturing yourselves now.

The hope of the Knicks fan is in the future. Specifically what players Phil can acquire after the expiring contracts clean out the locker room.

I will save the witty jokes about JR Smith's inability to handle a Pythagorean theorem latter this season, I promise.

Last night was so disgusting I can't even laugh at this debacle.
