Our New York Knickerbockers put the cherry on top of a shit sundae of an 82-game regular season on Wednesday night in a 115-89 drubbing at the hands of the playoff-bound Detroit Pistons. The game really wasn’t even as close as that score suggests, and the competitive portion was finished right around the first TV timeout of the game.
But really, it didn’t matter and nobody cared. The emphasis for this season shifted long ago from being as competitive as possible to sucking as much ass as possible to maximize lottery odds. Sure, the Knicks wanted to develop their young guys and shit, but that’s just a euphemism for the Zion movement that engulfed the Knicks, among a number of other NBA franchises.
