Lets go! I feel a win.

I'll be watching more for who on the current Knicks squad would be easy pickin's in a trade.

If Gary Payton **** the NYC raw again like he did last time they might have to Max him to get him away from us in the summer.

Payton only one having a good game, if some unbeknownst fan was watching they would think he was the lead dog of the team. Both of our mini point guards keep dribbling air out of the ball, attacking the rim and getting nowhere

Payton hit 8 of 33 from three (24%) in the G-league.

He's 5 for 6 in the NBA.

3 steals in the first half already.

What a block by Payton, shame McRae fouled Knox on the play...

Isaiah Thomas sucks. Little man syndrome but keeps shooting even though he gets blocked every time he goes to the rim. 5 for 20.

The points are an illusion . I don't mind him off the bench but man starting. We might have won this game if we didn't play McRae and it lol. Then Mathews and admiral work it out.

Valiant effort. But can we end the IT experiment? Why have him in there when Ish Smith has been doing work organizing the team throughout the second half?

I don't know who's worse. IT or Drew Gooden doing commentary? I just tuned in and heard Kutcher ask, at what should they foul? Oh, five minutes ago said Drew, with the team down 6 with 1:15 left. Great, insightful commentary.

Game's not over,but I think I can say, IT lost this one for us. We shouldnt have been in the game, being down 10 and battling back a couple times. However, this was a winnable game. Good to see two evenly matched teams play, even if they are poor teams.
