KNICKS #1 Soap..."GOTHAM LIGHT"...Losing at RIP City Edition..."Get Shots" J.R. leads a valiant effort by #KNICKStape but BLAZERS led by Rook PG D.L. win 105-90...KNICKS injuries mounting #NYKBasketball

The New York Knicks get a bad back 2 back as none of them are good unless you sweep both with a win. The Knicks simply ran into a Blazers Team that was well-rested and the Knicks are banged up.

Behind another sensational performance by #BLAZERmania Rookie Point God Damian Lillard (26 pts 10 assts) the Knicks couldn't do anything. The Blazers shot over 50% FG and over 35% from the Arc. The Stat of the night the Blazers outscore the Knicks Starters 80-44....Eighty to Forty-Four folks. The only thing that kept the Knicks from getting blown out again was the play of Knicks 2G "Get Shots" J.R.(pictured right) . No Melo, No S.T.A.T., and No Tyson...the Knicks are losing 3 of their Best Players at one time. J.R. went for 33 points on 11 of 21 FG and 4 of 8 from Deep. The Knicks just can't compete with that much Firepower on the Front Line not playing.

Now the Knicks find themselves 1 1/2 games behind Indy and only One game up on "Brooklyn has a Home Team". The Bulls and Celts if they can ever out a run together are within striking distance of the Knicks as well.  Knicks Nation the madness is not over as the Knicks head back to L.A. form a Date with the LOB City on Sunday and at the Salt palace on Monday Night. Now how is that for a back to back playing with a limited front court?

This has been another Episode of #KNICKStape #1 Soap.."Gotham Light"...
