I didn't watch this one, but wtf? The Knicks?? There's been too many of these games that should have been wins but they've taken it off. How can you expect playoffs and we can't beat the bottom teams

I never understand this sense of entitlement when we play similarly mediocre teams, who have as much talent as we do and more experience. Why are we supposed to beat these teams? We're a .500/perennial lotto team ourselves, not a perennial playoff team who is supposed to beat average teams. We're an average team. Which is good compared to last year, but that doesn't mean we're better than every other ~.500 team we play and they should all be automatic wins. I don't get that at all

Not to mention this game was on the road, where we are actually only a .393 team, and vs a team we don't match up well
against.

We are an average team/border line playoff team and the Knicks are a bad team. We should have won.

Again, if the Knicks are a bad team, we're not that much better with only 5 more wins. So I think you are either underrating them or overrating us. In reality we're not much different. 2 teams with talent who are inconsistent. When teams like that meet, it's a 50-50 proposition and can't really say either team should win. If anything they probably should've been favored being 16-18 at home and us only 13-20 on the road. We are a good home team, but we're a bad road team, and they're an average home team with a major advantage at 2 positions.

Terrible loss to a terrible team. And on top of that, I lost $120!

Melo is still one of my top 3 favorite players though.

Marcus Morris 2-11 and ONE rebound.
41% FG and 31% 3PT on the season, dude needs to be sent to the bench.

He's better off the bench, he had similar issues when he was starting some in Phoenix. He just isn't a starting caliber player imo. I think the Pistons may make a switch soon at SF.
