Knicks humbled by dominant Thunder

This was an awful game that was painful to watch. I was preaching optimism yesterday on the Knicks realgm message board, but now I feel like an idiot.


The Thunder outclassed the Knicks by far, in every way. Intensity, effort, quickness, agility, length, defensive rotations, the Thunder were indomitable. Kevin Durant looks like a man on a mission out there and I cannot believe the way he has improved since I last saw him. He is truly a special player, a superstar in the NBA, and at only age 21...wow.

Here are some bullets. I'm putting as much effort and quality into this post as the Knicks put in last night...



  • westbrook brought resounding rebounding

  • durant is so long and graceful, he runs like a grayhound according to clyde

  • lee complains an awful lot to the refs but can you blame him? after complaining very loudly in the 1st, about repetitive no calls on drives...very next play, foul and 1

  • thunder defense is what they win with

  • return of al and freedom of nate doesn't have me too happy

  • durant got superstar calls on minimal contact. prob cause he is so skinny.
  • knicks got no calls
  • thunder defense is swarming and inpenetrable

  • lee boarding hard

  • rare foul trouble for the knicks, mostly due to durant

  • thunder have tangible chemistry on d

  • knicks down 10 after 1...it'll be ok or so i thought

  • knicks no chemistry and hesitant shots

  • durant swatted gallo, looks very lethargic, just slow and out of it. has he been partying?

  • lee complains sometimes instead of hustling back

  • duhon def sluggish, ugly ugly game

  • what team is this?

  • disgusting

  • jeffries swishes a 3.

  • wow durant just went through somewhat hard fould from wil and finished and 1. making me realize lee is not the leader/star i thought. gallo better start leading and bringing the work ethic.

  • down twenty with 5 to go in third. they can comeback, they can turn it around. prob wont but im still positive
  • they are sooooo quick long and athletic

  • perhaps ambidexterity of lee confuses refs, he gets no calls

  • durant swatking?

  • westbrook amazing leaping ability alley oop saves collison on baseline

  • david lee bricking

  • durant working so hard up by 30 in 4th, on defense. amazing

  • eric maynor looks great . knicks should have made that trade...dang

  • harden out doing our rookie from arizona college. jealous of all that talent
