Here goes the down spiral we are so used to. This was a disheartening loss after another one just like this. Well, at least we will all remember that time we were 5-3 and the talk of the town.

Haha only 2 games ago.

Just think of it as a sneak tank lose streak

Payton vs. Murray, and Payton has no backup PG to spell him, and provide some offense. Mostly because of the rotation. Hope this isnt going to be a trend. If we were winning these games Id understand the logic. But we arent.

Will say it again. Hope Rose covered this ground in negotiations.

At the beginning of the season I expected growth with pain. To be a .500 team after ten games is better than I expected. We'll see. Wouldn't hurt to get Burks, Obi, Frank back. But yeah, I'm a Knicks fan so....

Let's put this into perspective:

As the wind currently blows the Knicks are ****ing horrible.... with a .500 record and having one of the hardest schedules in the NBA and across the board have a top 5-10 defense.

They literally have ZERO spacing with their starters: Elfrid, Bullocks, RJ, Julius, Mitch.

They have had injuries: Obi, Burks, Quickley, Frank/DJ, and Austin missed a ton and can't be in top shape.

They have a better record than Miami, Brooklyn, Atlanta, Toronto and are within a game of teams like Orlando, Milwaukee.

THAT'S NOT BAD
