Last night’s 125-111 Knicks loss to Philadelphia was a George Romero zombie movie. Night Of The Tanking Dead. You know how those go. The only realistic outcome is annihilation. The heroes resist for a while, then are overrun. But heroes never die...or rather, they briefly refuse to surrender, nearly overcome impossible odds, raise your hopes that they and we can escape our destinies as worm diners, but in the end there’s just too many zombies. Or too many Sixers.
When facing an apocalyptic horde, whether that horde is undead or a starting lineup featuring 4 All-Stars, you gotta bring the heavy weaponry.
