Well, well, well... Isiah Thomas took out the blowtorch and put it to the feet of his entire roster and the New York Knicks -- miraculously -- responded by dishing a supreme butt-kicking to the ailing near King-less Cleveland Cavaliers. In what was the most lopsided victory the Knicks have had probably in the Post-Patrick Ewing era, the Knicks trounced the Cavs 108 to 90! Damn near twenty points -- and what was really interesting mourning Stephon Marburry did NOT play (still battle back the tears from the loss of his father, Donald, again my condolences -- losing one's dad sucks!)
Who would have thought that the Knick's David Lee would earned the moniker, Beautician, because he was serving up facials throughout the night, scoreing 17 points. 11, in the first half.
The lackluster Cavs -- with LeBron -- gave up 56% shooting from the field! The Knicks haven't had that kind of firepower since the days of John Starks and Anthony Mason. Or was it more of a matter of atrocious D poorly played by the porous Cavs? Are they going to be play this way in the later part of the season? They have no
Where the Knicks hurt themselves and SERIOUSLY need to improve is in turnovers; they had 15! Which is damning, considering they only had 17 assists. I know Zeke's not proud of that fact, but you know what? He's not on the floor acting as the general, he's in the Pentagon doling out missives that are sometimes heeded, sometimes not... most of the time not.
Cavs didn't do themselves any favors shooting 61% from The Line and allowing 12 fastbreak points.
The Knicks have one of the most enemic offensives and defensives in the League, and yet they schooled the Cavs so hard (without grace and flair either) that it was damn right embarassing for the Returning King, who has yet to win back his kingdom on the hardwood from the pithy overlords who rule the place.
