Jimmer plays in Knicks blowout loss, Melo calls team out

The only Jimmer Time was Garbage Time for an increasingly trashy product at the Garden.

When Jimmer Fredette finally made his Knicks debut Monday there was a 24-point deficit and another defeat forged amid sloppy play and poor defending, ending mercifully at the hands of the Raptors, 122-95.

The chants for Fredette from an aggravated home crowd grew loud midway through the third quarter, but Kurt Rambis resisted until the final two minutes – when the hyped D-League call-up nailed his first 3-pointer and jacked up the leftovers in the stands.

Fredette couldn’t save the Knicks (24-34) from their 12th loss in their last 14 games, a stretch that has buried their playoff hopes.
