There’s really no excuse for losing tonights games, yes both teams played last night, but the knicks had to go double over time to lose to the Bobcats, and the Knicks are terrible.

I know a lot of people love David Lee, but he’s a bench guy on a good team, Jeffries is an end of the rotation guy on a good team. Seriously, this is one of the few teams in the NBA that i think starts more ‘not real starters’ than the sixers. I mean on a good NBA team do ANY of their starting five start? (On the sixers the number, to me, is 2)

This is one of the teams in the league that if we play them ten times there is no reason we do not beat them 7-8 if not 9 times. Just a note for the top he spells his last name Jeffries
