Here’s the thing with this picture: Its entirely possible that Dolan just closed his eyes and rubbed his head for a second and it looks like he’s sleeping, but there’s also like a 99% chance he was just sleeping. Because A) He’s James Dolan and he’s the biggest idiot asshole in the world, and B) The Knicks have been absolutely unwatchable. Un. Watchable. Almost put me to sleep too. No joke if I didn’t have to tweet and blog about them I would have shut that game off last night. Just absolutely putrid basketball. Forget about coming back from a 3-1 deficit – the way they have played they look like they shouldn’t have even made the post season.
The only shred of a shred of a glimmer of hope is that the Knicks are the streakiest team I’ve ever watched. There was a period of time in the regular season where I was convinced the Knicks were gonna drop down to like the 6 seed. Right after losing 5 of 6, on March 18 I wrote I was convinced that if the season was 20 games longer, they could have plummeted out of the playoffs. And literally the next game they started their 13 game win streak. Didn’t lose again till April 10th. So when the Knicks look their absolute worst, there actually is some hope they just get hot again. But right now they look old. They look injured. And they look completely lost. The reality is they should win game 5 at home, and game 7 at home is always winnable. If they play like the 2 seed should play, those games are winnable. Just gotta steal one in Indy, against a Pacers team that is very beatable.
But that seems like an absolutely impossible task for this team the way they are playing right now. Unless they completely flip a switch the way they did from April 18th to April 20th, we’re cunceled.
