I can't believe you guys actually expected to win this.

Q: What is the low point for a team with 3 big "stars"?
A: When 2Pat is player of the game with 12 points.

Not my pick. Riverwind Casino thinks nobody else on the team other than 2Pat was worthy of the honors.

Lost by 15 to the flipping Porzingis-less Knicks in a game we had a chance to get above .500.

Just fire Donovan, trade Melo and PG, rule Russ out for the remainder of the season with some mysterious injury, and hope for the best in 2018-2019.

Lol. This is the kinda anger that should be reserved for losses to the mavs.

Without Porzingis, the difference between the two teams isn't big.

It really is, Ron Baker is the only D-league caliber guy getting minutes on the Knicks.
