Knicks Lose Again to Hawks, 91 - 85

The Hawks appear to be one of our primary rivals in getting a playoff berth so losing last night is a double kick to the stomach.

I've been trying to stay away from the blame game in analyzing these losses after all we've been advised ad nauseum that the Triangle is difficult to learn and takes a long time to actually master (JR Smith was crucified for mentioning this earlier in the year).

Melo, once again had an off night but this time played long minutes.  Melo continues to NOT GET CALLS which is enigmatic if the Knicks ever expect to contend. Jordan, Kobe, LeBron, and others seem to call their own and all have won doing so.  If Melo's team ever wins it all, he will do so without the wind at his back.

Some questionable calls also seemed to uncannily squelch momentum for the Knicks at critical times but missed free throws, turnovers, and disoriented play contributed mightily to  these losses.

This was a tough one to watch and a tougher one to take.

Ye Newe Glory-torium

Here, dear readers, is the final resting place of all weary Knicks fans. Yes, here is where one comes when the Triangle refuses to have three sides, when biting one's lip from losing to win later is one loss too far,or when said fan simply hits 'rock' bottom. In short, "the ship be" eternally "sinking" here. Welcome aboard, rearrange the deck chairs as you please.
