The Knicks played as the target on Friday night against Thunder, which is good, but certainly not great. New York’s Sunday opponent, the Denver Nuggets, is unquestionably large. Still, the Knicks came out as an ass again, so naturally they were swept from the ground practically from start to finish.
I refuse to show any prominence of this abomination, but if I did, they would belong to Mitchell Robinson’s initial attacking court (11 points, 5 rebounds) and Julius Randle (29 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists). The rest of the team … well, they sucked. Let’s break it down:
- Mitch and Randle: 16-21, 40 points
- rest of the Knicks: 16-53: 49 points
It may not be fair to highlight a piece of shit in the Knicks septic tank, but tonight I would like to clarify the failures of the support center Nerlens Noel, who made 1 point and 4 rebounds in a horrible 11 minutes of action. The Knicks were defeated by 21 points in those 11 minutes, and Tom Thibodeau continued to bring Randle and Mitch back into the game, disgusted by Noel’s game, until almost the end of the night. The Knicks play in Charlotte tomorrow, so watch out for Randle, who played 38 minutes on a break. Noel couldn’t even get burned at the end of the match, as Thibs went to the attacking court of Ignas Brazdeikis and Kevin Knox. Taj Gibson can’t get here fast enough.
Everything’s getting shit now. Benny has the recap.
