 At this point, you can only hope the Knicks are tanking to get a better draft pick, because the play off picture is lost for the Knicks.

Last night Al Harrington finished with 38 points and Wilson Chandler scored 22 for the Knicks, who matched a season high with their sixth straight loss.

New York raced to a 19-point lead in the first 6:01, heard boos after blowing all of it before halftime, and ended up with another embarrassing loss against one of the NBA’s worst teams as it limps to the finish of its eighth straight losing season.

“We didn’t guard anybody, that’s pretty obvious,” Knicks coach Mike D’Antoni said. “Somehow, somewhere the game’s got to be a little more important than just going out there and playing. We’re just not there.”

The Knicks know Randolph well, having traded him to the Clippers in November in a deal that helped them clear salary-cap space for the summer of 2010 but weakened them for now. He was their leading scorer at the time and had helped New York get off to a promising start, fitting in better than expected under D’Antoni.
