Knick Knack, Paddy Whack…New York’s State of Mind is Wack!

I’m so-and-so, I’m this, I’m that

Huh, but they all just wick-wick-wack

 - KRS-One

Yup, just when you though things couldn't get any stranger in the Big Apple, you look at the above lyrics and suddenly realize that now, legendary rap artist KRS-One must be some sort of time-traveling musician or something.

What makes me say such a strange thing?

Because the society-conscious rapper sure described the 2013 New York Knicks perfectly with that famous rap stanza, way back in 1988 no less.

You see, on Sunday, the Knicks moved another step closer toward total self-destruction in what can only be described as an implosion against a young, rebuilding Boston Celtics ballclub that was supposed to be one of the worst teams in the league this season.

I don’t know how to describe the Knicks’ play against the C’s because words like, underachieving, selfish and individual just don’t cut it when trying to sum up New York’s lackluster performance against Boston.

Not only could the Knicks not hit a shot against the young C’s but even worse, they seemed totally uninterested in both, playing any sort of defense whatsoever or passing the ball to anyone wearing a jersey with ‘New York’ on the front of it.

Even for a guy that takes pleasure in seeing every New York team (outside of the G-Men) lose on a regular basis, I have to admit that it was brutal watching what the Knicks called professional basketball on Sunday. Unfortunately, the fall guy for all of this mess will be veteran head coach Mike Woodson, though he never dribbles, passes or shoots the ball.

However, as bad as things are with the Knicks, when it comes to dysfunction, the bumbling Knicks still take a back seat to the Brooklyn-based Nets, but hey, that’s a whole different story altogether.
