Knicks’ playoff push looks like a joke in hopeless loss to Nets

Bums.

The Knicks don’t look any better without Derek Fisher’s poker face on the sidelines. In fact, they look a little worse.

At full strength, the Knicks were outclassed by the awful Nets (15-40) Friday in the first game back from the All-Star break as their stated playoff push looks like a farce.

After taking a first-quarter lead, the Knicks got sloppy, didn’t get back in transition and were outhustled in a 109-98 defeat at Barclays Center. The Knicks (23-33) fell behind by 17 points in the fourth quarter despite a crowd that clearly was in favor of the road club.
