No Other Way To Put It, That Sucked And Andrew Nembhard Is The Newest Knicks Playoff Villain

Playoff basketball will find a way to rip your heart out when you least expect it. Trust me, as a Knicks fan there are certain names you can say and you immediately get a sharp pain deep in your testicles. Charles Smith. Michael Jordan. Hakeem. You get the point. Now we can add Andrew Nembhard to the list. How the fuck did that shot go in? He never had a handle on it, he was shooting like shit all night, end of shot clock and all of a sudden dude turned into Donte DiVincenzo out there. It's bullshit, some small-market team conspiracy theory. 

Speaking of which, if you want to say Rick Carlisle going to a press conference, trembling to the point of tears and saying he was submitting 79 missed calls worked, I won't fight you. This all happened

See, unlike Rick Carlisle's crying ass, I can sit here and say the Knicks lost because of 2 things. The blown lead in the 4th quarter where the offense went to shit and giving up offensive rebounds. That's what it was! The refs were horrible, whatever. That's not why the Knicks lost. See how easy that is, Rick. 

What's bigger bullshit that OG is hurt again. He's out there instead of Deuce McBride or Burks and you have size for rebounds. You have another scorer. You have a guy who is guarding Siakam and Hart can take Haliburton. I just want OG to have a normal hamstring.  

That felt like the game to steal in Indy. First game without OG, Donte on fire and the lead in the 4th. You win that and the series is over. The Pacers pack it up and you're winning this in either 5 or 6 with ease. Now, the Knicks have dealt with this shit before. Tyrese Maxey hitting that three and then winning the next game. That's all the goal is now. Win game 4. Don't get me wrong, this sucks. This was a kick with metal cleats to the nuts type loss, but we're still up 2-1. Win game 4, that's all that matters. I don't care who is out there, just don't make dumb plays in the 4th.
