    "You dont forget something like that."

    Literally none of these Knicks players will be on the team by the time they are good enough to do something about it.

    Wasn't a big deal, but it was somewhat disrespectful.... to the Knicks and their own fellow teammates still playing in the game.

    It
    Doing it without playing your best ball. The rockets weren't even playing well last night. Harden was off his game.

    It'd be great if that was Eric Gordon.

    Knicks fans are so stoopid, they should be thanking us for this. If they were smart the fans should spin this and send a clear message to dolan to sell this joke of a franchise.

    No I would be pissed at my team and probably blaming the coach.

    I wouldn't do it, but I'm not an NBA player.

    The Knicks weren’t treating the game of basketball with respect

    It would have been worse had the main guys stayed and celebrated every time our garbage squad scored vs this high-school team .

    They went back to get in a workout before their muscles cooled down. How is that disrespectful? It’s playoff prep time.. things change

    Still waiting for the media to use this as fuel to not give Harden the MVP.....

    I got a call from my sister in League City Thursday night asking if I wanted to drive down from Austin Friday for the game. Her stepdaughter had been given free tickets and there was one not being used. I almost did, but figured it would be a blowout. The prospect of a blowout didn't keep me from going, however. It was what my significant other told me we were going to do, or rather what she was going to do Friday night if I didn't go to the game that tipped the scales. Man, did she come through! ;-)

    I had to chose between the two so I watched the Astros knowing full well that Paul and Co. would “punk” that silly NY team and it’d be over by the half

    You know, who gives a Fxxk. If Knicks don't want to be disrespected, then do your job! GM needs to GM, coach needs to coach, and whatever players they have, they have to play and play hard. This game was over before it even began with the exact outcome that NY wanted this game to be...another loss for their tanking season.
