Knicks chaos: Melee breaks out, James Dolan angry with young fan
NY Post ^ | January 29, 2020 | Marc Berman

Posted on 01/30/2020 12:02:51 PM PST by C19fan

All hell broke loose at the Garden on Wednesday night, as the Knicks finally lost their cool after a season full of losing. The evening culminated with the worst possible Garden chant to owner James Dolan’s ears: “Sell the team.’’

With 48 seconds left in a 127-106 disgrace to the Grizzlies, starting point guard Elfrid Payton pushed down Jae Crowder after Crowder — with his team up by 18 points — stole a lazy pass in the backcourt from Julius Randle, took the ball to the right corner and flung up a 3-pointer as an incensed Payton pushed him in the chest.

Crowder got up off the floor and went after Payton and a mini-fracas ensued with Randle, Marcus Morris and Damyean Dotson trying to get after Grizzlies players.

Payton, Morris and Crowder were ejected, and Payton will likely get a suspension for his sore-loser act. As the unsportsmanlike scene unfolded, sickened Garden fans chanted “Sell the team’’ for about 20 seconds as Dolan left his seat.

National Thug Association... nothing new really, it goes back to the days of Kermit Washington who nearly killed Rudy Tomjonovich... and this after the fight that broke out at the KU game. What kind of athletes are these players?!

Thugs...

there was at least 50 seconds left on the clock....in college, you never quit...you still hope to fling up some 3's and win....

there was no reason for the Grizzly player to not keep playing while the knicks just were quitting....

Payton really was outrageous...

and not that I'm a great nba fan because I am not but I do follow my college players one who plays on the Grizzlies and they are not some ho hum team anymore....they've got an exciting team of young stars and for the NY post to act like losing to the Grizzlies was the ultimate humiliation was just plain ignorance and disrespect....

It was time for Eli to punch out. Maybe even one year overdue. I don't know if Daniel Jones is the long-term answer. He showed some flashes this season. But they can build around Saquan Barkley, who I believe is hands down the best back in the league.

“When you think it cannot get any lower for the Knicks. Except for the Yankees all the NY sports team suck.”
We were big into the NBA in college. ofc that was early 70s with Camberlain, Russel, West, Frazier, Pistol Pete, Earl the Pearl and the ABA.
