Final Score: Pistons 98, Knicks 95

That was straight out of 2013. Pablo Prigioni got hurt, the Knicks scrambled like buffoons on D, Carmelo Anthony went cold amid a sluggish offense, and a plainly bad team went off on them from downtown. The Knicks even almost came back at the end! Just like old times!

Bad effort, bad offense, bad defense, bad rebounding, bad everything. Good Jason Smith, I guess. Anyway: Hated it. Seven thumbs down. I can handle Triangle growing pains and the difficulties that come with a depleted backcourt, but that was worse.

Stingy's got your recap later. I'm gonna go soak my eyes.
