Lakers at Knicks: Most Disappointing Team in the NBA vs. the Biggest Surprise
By Jason McIntyre
The Knicks are headed in the opposite direction: 16-5, best record in the East, undefeated at home, can’t miss from downtown, and have beat the Heat twice by 20 each time. Charles Barkley thinks they’re good!
Obvious thought: this one could get ugly for the unraveling Lakers. A 20+ point loss in the Garden on TNT on an otherwise slow sports night would have the internet buzzing tomorrow, for sure.
Which is why the play is probably the Lakers +6.5, even though they’re just 2-7 on the road.
