The Knicks embarrassed their Brooklyn rivals tonight in Madison Square Garden. Maybe the Nets should've tried to sign Jeremy Lin?
The Nets lost to the Knicks tonight 100-86, but it didn't even feel that close — the Knicks just killed the Nets across the board, taking a 2-1 lead in the season series. If you want a quick representation of how the game felt for the Nets, look no further than these two GIFs.
First, we have star center Brook Lopez airballing a barely contested hook shot from the paint.
Second, we have small forward Gerald Wallace, one of the Nets' most tenacious and well-rounded players, spinning into the paint and... airballing a one-handed put.
You can see Wallace grimace at the end of the GIF. Understandable, because that shot was really, really bad.
