Why is Collison even playing? Patterson at 18 minutes.

You never can have enough perimeter foulers.

We're 14-14 and in our last six games we've los two games to teams with a starting lineup of ancient Jarret Jack, Courtney Lee, Michael Beasley, Lance Thomas, and Enes Kanter AND a team with a starting lineup of Spencer Dinwiddie (who?), Allen Crabbe, Demarree Carroll, Hollis-Jefferson, and Tyler Zeller. Even if you combined those two starting lineups to make one team, they wouldn't win more than 25 games over the course of an entire NBA season.

Again, **** this team. I hate them so much.

None of the players the Knicks are giving heavy minutes to tonight would even start for any of the top 12-15 teams in the NBA and they're putting a beatdown on us at this point.

I'm not watching another Thunder game until February. Screw this team and screw Billy Donovan.

You know Donovan is gonna be here for years to come. If we don't turn this around soon, they'll probably try to get at least something for George and then it doesn't even matter who's coaching.

McBuckets is on fire! Ah.. sorry, for a second I thought that Melo trade was all a recurring nightmare.

Sacrifice a creature, Return Recurring Nightmare to its owner's hand: Return target creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield.

Isn't Presti's latest trades just like that? Sacrificing young hopefuls for pulling creatures from graveyards?

Sad thing is, if the roles were reversed, and the Knicks were down by 13 with 6 minutes to go, I'd expect them to come back and make this a tight game down the stretch.

But because we're us, and we suck so bad in 4th quarters, I have zero doubt that we'll end up losing by 8-12 points and never make this a game.

It doesn't help that, apparently, everything we do is a foul.

Jerami Grant is a low IQ bumbling idiot.

Grant btw is on the floor because Presti is still refusing to get a real backup Center on this team.
