He did exactly what I expected an underwear streaker like him would...stayed in the shadows, didn't do too much, and let the team carry him...whatever happened, he wasn't going to be the reason for the loss at home tonight.
But it worked, and he can duck and go home in peace tonight. I expect him to take this approach more, he'll realize it puts less pressure on him, and it might be a blessing in disguise.
The dude came out and apologized man. Enough already. The guy isn't actively trying to play poorly, has no motivation to lose. Knicks fans cry for days over a thumb jesture and then manifest narratives that aren't there.
He had a poor shooting night, was self aware enough to realize it. Saw his teammates were hot and let them be hot. Grabbed rebounds and got the ball back to the hot hand. I feel better about this cold night than I do about some 25pt nights hwere his teammates stand around watching. And sorry if I sound so judgmental. I have no place judging you seeing as I have been there before. Hell, I celebrated when he went on protocol but enoughs enough.
