'Tis the Season for.... laughing at the Knicks

If you need a good laugh, read up on the Knicks.

The Knicks blew up last night because of their love of the 3-point shot. They blew a 17-point lead and the Nate Robinson controversy is on the verge of blowing up, too.

Coach Mike D'Antoni stuck to his guns and stubbornly didn't play Robinson for the seventh straight game, despite Larry Hughes' groin injury and the Knicks desperately needing an offensive jolt.

The night began with a glow as the Knicks built a 25-8 lead and it ended with the club dubiously setting a piece of history. The Knicks set the franchise's all-time record for 3-point attempts with 47 3-point bombs in a hideous 98-89 defeat last night to the Bulls for their second straight loss.

Here's coach Mike D'Antoni's reaction to reports Nate Robinson's agent is going to file a grievance over his lack of playing time:

"They think it's always personal," D'Antoni said before the Knicks' 98-89 loss to the Bulls at the United Center. "I don't know a coach yet that says, you know what, I don't like him [and] I'd rather lose. That doesn't work. I'd play Satan himself if I could win. I got no morals or scruples.

"I'm judged if we win or lose," D'Antoni added. "There is nothing else. You win enough, you stay, you lose enough, you're gone."

I'll say it again, why would D-Wade, LeBron James and/or Chris Bosh want any part of the this mess?
