1. “The New York Knicks are a national disgrace, ladies and gentlemen. They’re horrible.”
And with those words, Stephen A. Smith went off during ESPN’s postgame coverage of the Knicks 111–106 loss to the Nets on Wednesday night.
New York blew a 28-point lead in the game and a 14-point lead going into the fourth quarter. Brooklyn played the game without Kevin Durant, who is injured, Kyrie Irving, because of New York City mandate rules and Ben Simmons, who isn’t ready to return to action after coming over from Philadelphia.
Keep in mind, the Knicks blew an 11-point second-half lead and lost at home to the Thunder, who currently sit at 18–40, in their previous game Monday.
