Nothing to play for

The Knicks gave it all they had yesterday against the Raptors.

They scrapped the triangle, they allowed the Anthony to shoot freely, Amare played a lot of minutes and they played well enough to take the game into over time.

However, the tired old legs of New York were just not enough to keep up with the youthful and energetic Raptors in overtime.

So tired were the Knicks in OT that they didn't score a single basket, only a couple of free throws. That Knicks fans is the definition of your team.

Nine Knicks players will have contracts expiring after this season and know they won't be resigned in order to clear cap space for Phil Jackson's New Deal program to revamp the Knicks. These players therefore have no interest in learning the triangle and nothing to play for.

Carmelo Anthony's body is beginning to break down before your eyes and nothing can be done about it. You didn't get this guy fresh out of college or on his second contract. Phil Jackson's hands were tied because I am certain that if he had his way he would have allowed Anthony to walk and not given him a new contract.

However, that would have made what Dolan did to destroy this team's future just to secure Anthony an admission of guilt that Dolan would never want to have to discuss publicly.

It will be years before the Knicks are competitive and for some weird reason, I thoroughly enjoy that.

Knicks lose again, Raptors 95 - Knicks 90

What a fat fraud

It is being reported this afternoon that Carmelo Anthony threatened to fuck up Tim Hardaway Jr. up after the Brooklyn Nets game because he yelled at him on the court to move his lazy ass and get a rebound.

How dare Hardway point out that he doesn't hustle on the glass.

But you want to know what the funny thing is? I remember Anthony yelling and Jared Jeffries on the court after Jefferies made a pass to the closest man to the basket with seconds remaining instead of him.

The shot was missed but it was the correct play, like going hustling for a rebound, but Anthony had no problem disrespecting Jared on the court that night but don't you dare do it to him. What a fat fraud.

Tell me the game that Carmelo shutdown a star on defense to win the game or dominated the boards to win the game or had assists in the teens to win the game.

All he can do is score and when he doesn't have that going at an efficient rate he is a liability on the floor. He is a good scorer not a great player. Stop it already.

Phil Jackson should have let him go to the Bulls and began the rebuilding this season.


What have I been saying

"Rodman said Jackson must “feel like s–t’’ watching the Knicks lose, adding Carmelo Anthony isn’t passing, Derek Fisher isn’t coaching and the team isn’t running the triangle." Dennis Rodman, NY Post

What have I been saying all season?

Knicks lose again, Pelicans 104 - Knicks 93
