A little late for this post, but it's also regarding the Knicks, so really, who cares? If people in New York weren't already signing the blues, the terrible performance put in by the Knicks last night should have had them looking for harmonicas and bottles of bourbon, because that was not, I repeat, NOT NBA basketball. From the terrible turnovers to the forced shots, the Knicks showed why they are as bad of a team as the standings show. The Raptors-Knicks game was a microcosm of the Knicks season, with the Fat Boys even sitting for the majority of the game, one (Curry) because he was utterly useless, the other (Randolph) because he is a big headed, big mouthed idiot. It takes a lot for a guy to come out of an argument with Isiah Thomas looking like the bad guy and Randolph managed to make himself look like the grand marshall of the dummy parade. The Knicks won't win not for a lack of talent and not for a complete lack of heart (because some of those guys on the bench have a good work ethic). The Knicks will continue to lose because there is no sense of team there. I can't count the amount of times the Knicks came down the floor and a player proceeded to launch a shot within the first 5 seconds of the shot clock. Every guy in that starting lineup was looking to get his. The Raptors should have been able to bury the Knicks in the first two minutes, as the Knicks started the game with guys just walking down, stopping and popping, then gingerly heading back on D. There is nothing in the Knicks season stats that would provide any justification for them shooting like they are snipers, they're just selfish…and selfishness doesn't correct itself. Nice to see Bosh working the inside and outisde, providing that varied approach that we talk about game after game. If he had a little more luck, he would have been able to finish even higher than his 40 points and 11 boards, but honestly, let's not read too much into this. This is what good players are supposed to do against...
