New York City

Well its hard to win when literally every other person on your team takes off the first 2 and a half quarters of a game. Throw in a horribly officiated game and its a recipe for disaster for a team on the road in the playoffs. Had Shumpert or Cope showed up a little earlier, who knows how this plays out. If Felton doesn’t have his worst game of the season, maybe things go differently. If Tyson Chandler wasn’t a frail shell of his former self, if JR Smith doesn’t go 4/15, if Jason Kidd wasn’t 200 years old, if Kenyon Martin wasn’t…Kenyon fucking Martin, maybe we’d go 7. Tonight was a perfect example of my point about Carmelo’s supporting cast from earlier this week. The dude did absolutely everything he could tonight to keep them in this game. A horrible 4th quarter ruined what could have been an MVP type performance, but for like 30 fucking minutes of play he was the only dude on the court playing at a 2 seed level. Carmelo took a rag tag squad of old and injured guys and a couple young bucks as far as he could. But only so much one man can do.

Knicks Lose in 6

If the Knicks survive this Wave; because right now they have an anchor tied to their balls in the mid atlantic, they will win game 7. — Metta World Peace (@MettaWorldPeace) May 18, 2013 Preach Ron Ron! Preach! I think? I think he’s being positive? Not really sure. The man is a stark raving lunatic. Having an anchor on your balls doesn’t sound that good but bottom line is if the Knicks win tonight they will win at the Garden in 7. George Hill is back in the lineup and the Knicks haven’t won yet in Indiana this season, so it won’t be easy. But lets be honest – if you let a team beat you 5 straight times on their home court and can’t muster up enough balls to win once on the road, you don’t deserve to advance anyway. God willing Mike Woodson sticks with the Game 5 game plan and they ride this little burst of momentum to a W tonight. Because Game 7 at home is a lock.

With the Knicks facing elimination tonight in Indy, which GIF will we post after the game: Happy Patrick Ewing or Facepalm Woody?

New York's got a pretty good repertoire when it comes to locally-brewed beer, with brews like Sixpoint, Brooklyn Brewery and KelSo calling the city home. And a few Staten Island home-brewers hope to throw their hats in the hops ring, with each planning to open rival commercial breweries in January. [ more › ]
