The New York Knicks plumbed news depths of poopy basketball Monday night, losing to the hardcore tanking Oklahoma City Thunder in overtime at MSG. I don’t feel like rehashing all the gory details of this defeat, but I do have some thoughts I’d like to share.
- Stop me if you’ve heard this before, but the Knicks’ late-game offense was stanky butt. The Alec Burks-Julius Randle two-man game was operating at its usual level of efficiency — lots of standing around and chucking bricks late in the shot clock. The only bucket the Knicks made in the final four minutes was a Quentin Grimes fast-break layup.
