As has been thoroughly documented, very little is going right for the Knicks this year. Although they did manage to pull off a win over the Orlando Magic last night, Carmelo Anthony and Raymond Felton both suffered injuries of unknown severity. Which brings us to the latest Knicks strategy: prayer. “Pray for us. Pray for us,” Felton told reporters after the game.”I’m serious, though.” True story: My rabbi once told me it was not okay to pray for help beating video games. Probably because God was busy with important things, like fixing the Knicks.
