You are correct sir. Knicks are -4 if they beat the Lakers. People have a short term memory, and after seeing NY drop b2b games vs the Cavs & Lakers.....Who would wanna back them?

Just like last year with the lakers. I have a feeling that the league doesn't want the Knicks to miss the playoffs. I remember how that lakers/Portland game last year where all the calls went for the lakers. I see the rest of the games favoring the Knicks to make the playoffs, and Atlanta losing. Thoughts scal?

So what you're saying, Scal, is that these guys have to be shamed into victory (or just giving a crap period). Maybe they should think about hiring a catholic coach, or someone who knows how to exploit shame and guilt.
For one night, just as you noted in the last Pacer game, yes.
They should be on their hands and knees praying for contrition before Phil Jackson because he should cut every one of them after last night.

I don't know man the Knicks are on a B2B and they just lost to the Lakers by 30+. I know the Kings suck but the Knicks are not that much better. I think the homecourt advantage and rest will be the difference in this game and not mention Isaiah Thomas will probably put up 25+ against Raymond Felton. Kings should win this.

The Knicks match up bad with the kings. Anthony is covered by happy,and now one of the guards of the knicks can defend Thomas.They are all too slow. And my thought is,knicks are giving up No play for me tonight,GL Scal
Many people thought the Cavs gave up many games ago and that view was not unjustified given what they were doing in the court.
Then they beat a team that had won 8 in a row after coming back from 15 down, and beat a quality raptors team last night. They have not given up.
Neither have the Knicks.

Train, I also think this might be another one of Scal's picks that goes under. After all the points they gave up last night after the first, they'll have to play D tonight. I see an ugly, low scoring game.

Scal, I am concerned for your well being. Making a play on the Knicks should come with a Surgeon General's warning. It is hazardous to your health. I want to make sure someone is present with you this evening if it starts to go south, preferably a mental health professional.
"And watching them crumble after betting on them will make you run to the nearest corner to get in a fetal position" are the words you used yesterday. I will be rooting for you Scal but I cannot bring myself to pull the trigger on this team or I may be pulling the trigger on myself if you know what I mean.
Like they say in Vegas after they give you that ticket, "Good luck."
I also took the Lakers laying points to anyone and LA over the Thunder + 11.5. Those games were far far more dangerous than this one.
The lakers loss to the clippers loss was actually much uglier than this Knicks loss

For a team to rebound from an embarrassment like that last night they need 1 crucial part! And that is something these knicks dont have, HEART! They dont have it, After blowing a double digit lead at home to cavs 2 nights ago you think theyd rebound big from that being the playoff position there in and needing every win possible. But nope not these knicks! They go out against a basically D-league team and give up 127 points? Goodluck with your wager sir but i value my money alittle more than to put it on this quitter team. Knicks will lose again tonight and lose ugly! There season is over and they will give zero effort here on out.

They don't need to have heart, just the ability to fell shame. Shame is motivation enough.

BB, I don't see the word defense being in the Knicks vocabulary. I see this team as having the mentality that they will just try and outscore their opponents. If they realize that isn't going to happen that night, they just fold. Before they won eight straight, they lost seven in a row giving up an average of 112 pg. Just an opinion.

Another instinctive and intuitive writeup by scal. Nothing is guaranteed in this crazy game, especially with this team. Win or lose, this is a razor-sharp pick and I'll be tailing. GL sir

If Isaiah Thomas goes,I think the Kings take it...contrary to your write-up,I truly believe this Knicks team has zero heart,playing on B2B in a game that they were dominated by "lesser" talent and think it's gonna be tough for them to shake off a disgusting defensive performance and looking for a upstart Kings team to attempt to do similarly what the Lakers did lastnight,albeit not in such dramatic fashion...waiting on Thomas update closer to game time, but until I pull the trigger on an oppo pick,best of luck to ya.
