Awhile back, I wrote a post on the Knicks’ total refusal to play defense.
It appears D’Antoni’s meth addict brand of basketball has also stricken the Hawks.
Last night, both squads broke out their “ghost man” defense, causing Mike Breen to try and wiggle out of his contract for the 483rd time in the last five years.
Watch:
It would be funnier if the Knicks weren’t fighting for a playoff berth.
I’d say the same for the Hawks, who have a chance at the No. 4 seed and home-court advantage in the first round. But I doubt anyone in Atlanta really cares that much. The Hawks have the lowest attendance of any team vying for home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs.
To repay the 18,931 suckers that showed up to watch last night’s game, I think Dolan should organize an Al Harrington promo night. They can call it “barefoot kids in Somalia have even rejected these sneakers” night.
