NY Knicks @ OKC Thunder 2/15/2017

[WuDrWu]

Baker sprints to the corner on offense to clear the floor for the volume guys. Melo jogs back on D into the corner so he can guard, idk.

Baker plays his nuts off and is totally gassed after about 10 game minutes without a rest, being the only guy playing D I might add, so he goes to the bench and in about 40 seconds the game is OVER.

Yep. They went from competing to blown out in less than a minute with Baker off the floor.

Who doesn't see this? And how much do they get paid? I got in to the wrong line of work.

Just turned it on and definitely caught some Shockers in the background.

Seeing a smattering of Shocker gear on a few different shots. Nicely done Shocker Nation.

Fans? Old players?

Fans (I'm assuming). The yellow sticks out. Like Fever said, there were a couple different patches of Shockers.

Just got back from the game. There were actually a decent amount of Shocker fans spread around, whether it be wearing WSU gear or the Knicks 31 jersey. It was a fun trip and luckily Ron got in and played well! I'm pretty sure Ben Smith was there too.

Super fun time last night in okc. That's a great atmosphere. They know how to work it. The NBA game is so fast seeing it in person. It's so cool to see Ron out there in person and realize he totally belongs. Nice ovation from Shocker fans. Heard plenty of buzz about him in the section where we were sitting. Lots of okc fans gave him some love too. Cool!

The Knicks are so infuriating to watch, Melo's hot start was almost a bad thing as they spent the second quarter constantly turning the ball over trying to get it to him. I couldn't believe Hornacek didn't sub or call TO when it was obvious they were floundering.

Loved seeing Ron get in as much as he did, and hold his own. Wish he'd have knocked down that jumper and 2nd FT to up his stat line, but like someone else said he looks like he belongs.

What is the deal with Porzingas never being under the basket?!? Watching him I can't help but think of the Dude Perfect Stereotypes video with the "big man who only shoots 3's" and I wanted to yell "You're 7'2" POST UP!!!"

Agree Carmelo hot start was just fools gold for them. The Knicks are one of the worst teams in the NBA to watch (other than Ron) They are a collection of individuals who have their own agendas. I personally think Rose is their main problem but an argument could be made for any of their starters.
One thing to remember for Shocker fans who don't watch much NBA is that the Knicks are one of the worst teams to watch and do not accurately represent the quality of basketball played in the league. It would be like watching Evansville play and then saying the quality of play in college basketball is terrible.

"It would be like watching Evansville play and then saying the quality of play in college basketball is terrible." At least you didn't just say "The Valley", not that bad afterall!

Yesssss to all the Ron stuff.

I hate the way they use Porzingas or the way he plays. He was beyond horrible last night - a liability on the court, IMO.

The NBA game circus is fun, fun, fun. They do a nice job in OKC. I highly recommend it to anyone. If you go, try to spend the extra $$$ to get lower level seats at least once. The experience is really fun down low.

I had to laugh on the Knicks blog someone wrote "I expected nothing, and was still disappointed." :)
