Last Night's Action: No Wins Here

Los Angeles Clippers 140 Knicks 135 (OT): The Knicks’ season is slipping away, just like their 19-point lead did Wednesday night. That they blew that lead at home, against a team with only 18 wins, speak volumes and the way they blew it is even worse. Al Harrington drove the lane with time running down in the fourth and slammed it home to give New York a three-point lead with 27 seconds to play, but he decided to hang on the rim in celebration, drawing a technical foul. The Clippers converted the free throw and tied the game thanks to two free throws from Zach Randolph. New York went cold in OT and now their season is on life support.

Cleveland 98 Nets 87: New Jersey stayed close, but they couldn’t stop Cleveland in the end. Vince Carter had a bad night from the field, going 7-21, but Jarvis Hayes had a nice night off the bench with 18 points.

Minnesota 6 Islanders 2: Minnesota is playing for a playoff spot and the Islanders are playing for next year, but New York battled hard on Wednesday night. Unfortunately, Minnesota converted the chances they had and Yann Dennis had an off night.

They have run out of gas-not playing defense must have caught up to them... Stinker losses to the Nets, Kings, were the nail in the coffin. They lack a dominant center(in all fairness many teams do) they have a glut of forwards who are so fucking sporadic and their guards are mediocre. Donnie Walsh accomplished plenty this year dumping some real stiffs. I hope Nate Robinson is sent to the NBDL forever...

Congrats last place Islanders - keep tanking the season so you have the best shot at the last place spot!

The Knicks season was essentially over two weeks ago, but I still find it frustrating (and AMAZING) that they lost to the lowly Clippers again the SAME way they lost to them earlier in the season - by blowing a late lead due to a techinical foul following an Al Harrington dunk! I know they're in a work in progress that has made decent strides this season, but they desperately lack leadership and toughness. David Lee is not that guy.
