Acutally that was a loss, I am not going to blame on anyone. It was tough to swallow. Yes, they were up big. Yes, Shumpert's stupid flagrant foul made that a 5-point possession. Yes, some of TOs were stupid, and some of the shots were unlucky. On top of that, you got Joey Crawford, the most hated referee in NBA by all teams.
But they are short-handed. Playing tough defense took a toll on them, and fatigue showed when it mattered the most. Lots of intangibles came back to haunt you. That's how basketball is.
Knicks is far away from a great team. Amare and Lin are big pieces of the puzzle, that's 40% of their starting line up. To be honest, I didn't even expect them to lead that much at the end of 3rd quarter.
