"Charlotte Bobcats rookie Kemba Walker's term -- "embarrassment" -- was actually a kind description of a 111-78 home loss to the New York Knicks.

Consider the evidence: The Bobcats played a team that lost six straight. A team whose leading scorer, Carmelo Anthony, shot 0-of-7. A team that already lost at home to the Bobcats and nearly lost to them twice at Madison Square Garden.

A team that plays little or no defense, yet held the Bobcats to 33 percent shooting. A team that outscored the Bobcats 59-36 in the second half.

Oh, yeah. This was an embarrassment."
