Just when you think it can't get any worse...

What Al Harrington accomplished last night doesn't even seem possible. But then again, for Knicks fans, it's pretty much the norm. Head coach Mike D'Antoni can't even help but laugh at his troubled team. The Knicks have been the source of their own demise all season long. I cannot tell you how many times the Knicks have blown a game in the closing seconds. I don't have time to count. The Knicks are the most frustrating team I've ever watched. It's embarrassing to call myself a fan. 2010 can't come soon enough. Lebron, Dwayne, Amare, if you're out there, please come save this franchise.

For those of you that don't feel like watching the highlights, here's what happened:

For the SECOND time this season, with the Knicks up 1, Al Harrington came through in the clutch with a big slam dunk to put the Knicks up by 3, with under a minute to go. However, on both emphatic jams, Harrington forgot an all-important NBA Rule. A PLAYER CANNOT HANG ON THE RIM AFTER A DUNK OR HE WILL RECEIVE A TECHNICAL FOUL. It's a pretty simple rule. Not much too it. Easy to remember (especially if you've already been called for it this year). But ya know, it slipped Harrington's mind.

The first time Harrington was T'd up, against the Clippers I might add, Steve Novak sunk the technical free throw, and Zach Randolph tied the game in the closing seconds, sending the game into overtime. The Clippers would prevail 128-124.

The second time Harrington was T'd up, AGAINST THE CLIPPERS I might add, Eric Gordon hit the technical, and Zach Randolph sent the game into overtime again. In the extra session, the Clippers would hold off the Knicks again, winning 140-135.

So let's recap:
Game 1:
Knicks went up by 3 with Harrington's slam
Harrington hung on the rim
Harrington was called for the technical
25 seconds were on the clock
Novak hit the technical free throw
Randolph sent the game into overtime
The Clippers won the game by 4

Game 2:
Knicks went up by 3 with Harrington's slam
Harrington hung on the rim
Harrington was called for the technical
27 seconds were on the clock
Gordon hit the technical free throw
Randolph sent the game into overtime
The Clippers won the game by 5

You cannot script that.
