So … we can spend some time, and some paragraphs, on all the troubling things the Knicks put on display Monday night at Madison Square Garden. We can start with Carmelo Anthony and his 4-for-19 rock pile of a night. We can talk about the two points and three rebounds the $72 million man, Joakim Noah, posted.
We can even take the sparring gloves to Kristaps Porzingis, who almost never gets targeted with them, and mention that while he dropped 21 points on the Thunder he was invisible on the other end, he had just five rebounds, he was pushed around plenty while Oklahoma City rolled to a 53-40 advantage on the glass including 17 — 17!
