The Knicks lost to the Nets in the preseason finale on Friday, 102-86 but I mean, the Sonics also beat the Suns by thirteen last night, so does preseason really mean anything? Eddy Curry and Zach Randolph combined for 31 points and 12 rebounds but it clearly wasn’t enough as the Nets cruised to victory. Surprisingly, with a 76-56 lead in the beginning of the 4th quarter the Nets had their best player, Vince Carter, in the game. Sounds like a desperate team, eh? Jared Jeffries had 2 blocks and 2 rebounds within the opening minutes of the 1st quarter but then bumped knees with the dirty Richard Jefferson, and missed the rest of the game. The MRI revealed he sprained his ankle and his time out is indefinite. The Knicks were missing their top 3 choices at sf, Quentin Richardson, Renaldo Balkman, and Jared Jeffries all due to injury.
