Knicks Vs. Detriot Pistons Game Review!

"Josh Hart was not the only thing that should have been ejected last night at the Knicks & Pistons debacle. The Knick's 'entire staff and record label' had to go, too. This was the worst loss of the season, and That first rank offense disappeared, hopefully for one night only. Now, before you use the Towns excuse or say the Pistons are better this year, the Knicks were 29-5 against sub-500 teams last year, and many of those wins came from a Knicks team missing three to 4 starters at a time. Not to mention, this loss pushes our losses to sub-500 teams to 4! I know it's one game, but this game was a game we would have won last year!"
