After last season provided some hope, Spike Lee’s Knicks are back to being a complete disaster.
On Wednesday night, the Knicks let a 28 point lead to the injury-riddled Nets slip through the cracks, and wound end losing the game in the final moments at Madison Square Garden.
Nets outscore Knicks, 36-12, in 11-minute stretch of 4th Q. NYK gave up 2 offensive rebounds on BKN's 2nd-to-last possession & then Cam Thomas hit a 3, which likely sealed BKN win. Barring a miracle, this will be 3rd straight brutal loss for NYK as club enters All Star break.

Per usual, Spike Lee was in attendance to watch his beloved team. And when the game went final, his reaction said it all.
The Knicks blew a 28-point lead, their largest in a loss over the last 30 seasons. Knicks lost 3 games after leading by 20+ points in February; first team to do that in a calendar month over the last 25 seasons. Knicks have two losses when leading by 14+ entering the 4th quarter. pic.twitter.com/1OffA5hjW8

Spike Lee immediately turned into an online joke after his reaction to the gut-wrenching loss went viral.
I just need someone that will stick with me through anything like how Spike Lee sticks with the Knicks.

After the game, Stephen A. Smith challenged Spike Lee to stop supporting the Knicks’ trash organization.
“The New York Knicks are trash! Spike Lee shouldn’t show up for the rest of the season! Tracy Morgan, don’t go! You’re horrible. I’m so done with this team. You just stink!”
Relateably, it appears that Spike Lee is too addicted to the fandom to just up and quit the Knicks. So for the rest of the season, he’ll likely keep showing up to MSG to get consistently disappointed.
Poor guy.
