Last Night's Action: Knicks Stumble Again

2006_11_sknickslogo.jpg-Cavaliers 102, Knicks 96: The good news: Channing Frye opened up and scored 17 points. The bad news: The Knicks let Damon Jones score 29 points and fell to the Cavs at home. At 2-6, the Knicks are a lot closer to being 0-8 than they are to 4-4 -- one win came in triple overtime and the other on a miraculous last-minute play. In the end, the Knicks' inability to hit the outside shot and the Cavs' range turned the game. Jones, who has described himself as "the best shooter in the world," hit seven three-pointers in 10 tries.
-Sonics 119, Nets 113: Playing on consecutive nights for the first time this season, the Nets looked weary in a loss at home to Seattle. They fell behind by as many as 28 in the first half before closing to make it respectable. Just as Jones torched the Knicks, Luke Ridnour had a career night in lighting up the Nets, scoring 32 points. Vince Carter's 38 points couldn't make up for Richard Jefferson's absence, but Nets president Rod Thorn has suggested Jefferson's sprained ankle won't keep him out much longer.

The Knicks truly suck. They proved how much they suck at the game last night. LeBron was asleep for most of the game and the Knicks still couldn't get it together.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

suckers! every one of you that buys a ticket from crackhead dolan deserves to sit there and watch the knicks suck all day long.

I can't wait for that arena to be built in brooklyn just so I can watch a new york team that isn't the knicks!

Yes, the Knicks suck, but it was a very entertaining game. Having been there, the crowd was pumped, and it was a great atmosphere. The lineup of Lee, Crawford, Balkman, Robinson, and Richardson was dynamite and really sparked that comeback. It wasn't by chucking threes either. It was good interior passing and attacking the basket, with the exception of Crawford's ridiculous three pointer.

That said, they played just about as well as they could and still lost. It's going to be a long one.
