    the Knicks weren’t an NBA team

    that game was a complete waste of time

    tanking teams crying about disrespect need to have a seat IMO

    Good for them, I would have gotten up and left to. I doubt the bench players cared, it just meant that they got all of the spotlight.

    Thats how you a treat a team that's tanking. If you come to the game and not try to compete... then what's that point of sticking around!

    Shumpert wasn’t there to give respect, he was there to try to get some playing time

    Mild, unofficial version of what millions of kids have grown up with playing sports: the slaughter rule. Don't blame the slaughterer if you end up on the receiving end.

    Stephen A Smith and Max Kellerman are bandwagon Lakers fans now.

    Teams getting blown out by Harden, Broadcasters sure want to destroy his reputation for his MVP Candidacy.

    Don't forget a scene like that? What so the Knicks can pay us back with their explosive gameplay?

    Schumpert was there in case anyone on the court got injured during scrub time. Sort of the basketball equivalent to the cabinet member who is picked to stay home during the State of the Union address.

    Maybe they are shaming the Knicks because MDA got run out of town. There is def a deeper reason then just working out lol Rox have blown out multiple teams they never did this.

    But to be honest I dont like it they should have stayed on the bench and supported the bench players. They are still part of the team the starters should support them instead of leaving like what they do don't matter.

    Let's be real if GSW is the one who did it every poster here would be talking about how arrogant GSW Worriers are and how they think they own the league. Just because the home team is the one who did it doesn't mean its ok.

    The Rockets shouldn't have played the starters, the Rio Grande Valley Vipers should've played the Knicks, the Vipers definitely can win against them. The Vipers are in the Finals.
