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.
If they don't play D, then they don't win. When the knicks win they play D (or as much D as they are capable of).

It doesn’t seem like the Knicks have responded well after a blowout loss this season, as their record indicates that they are 1-7 after a 20+ point loss this season. They are also 11-27 ATS after a loss with less than two day’s rest. You yourself made the statement that they were playing “D-Leaguers” last night. That won’t be the case tonight.If they couldn’t stop them, how are they going to stop a team with 3 players averaging over 20 a game? You don’t think Sacramento isn’t playing for something? They want to finish ahead of the Lakers. No one wants to be the last place team in their conference. IMHO, Vegas made NY the fave just to make people think. I may be wrong. I may be crazy. But my money is going ML $AC.

scal i hope you get back to this, i follow your picks and read all your insights/write ups....i enjoy betting on games and was wondering dont you think this line should be atleast -3 NYK? they were getting -7.5 versus the lakers who are slightly worse than sac at home and i also understand it is the tail end of a b2b...but pick em?? love to hear back
The b2b deflates the line several points and Pau being replaced with Kaman who was inactive the previous 13 (dnp - coaches decision) inflated it. Plus, kings are on three days rest coming off a win and the Knicks just gave up 51 in a quarter. All of this goes against the Knicks and for the kings and still I have this line at -1 Knicks so as long as you get it at that number at worst, you'll be fine.

BTW, Scal. We better hope Phil does not show his face in Sac Town, otherwise the Knicks are likely to lose by 60. Phil is hated there. Remember the cow bells?
Sure do. I highly doubt he'll travel there. He doesn't want to travel. La was an exception.

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?

We need more write-up!!!! I remember some truly lengthy ones. I think the longer the write-up the correlates with the odds of winning bro. Just messing with ya. So NYK it is. They may not cover the rest of the year after tonite.
No long write who required for this one.

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?
They league can't do anything about it. The Knicks are so bad they only made the playoffs twice since 2000.
Atlanta will hang tough in my opinion.

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.
Kings won't be able to do anything about it

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.
The cavs did worse. They lost to a gasol-less d league laker team with only 5 healthy players and lost at HOME by 11...
Then after that debacle they won the next 6.
The Knicks will win tonight and we have a microscopic spread to deal with. Nice!

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
Appreciate that!

This game transcends all that analysis and ATS references because of the historic catastrophic third quarter that made them a laughing stock. There is no ATS stat that can counter it.
