Andy Rautins Square Garden

Justin Bieber. Charlie Sheen. #thingswomensay. These are the things I usually see in my Twitter Trends section.

Imagine my surprise when I see...

Rautins_medium

The Knicks cruised to victory over the Jazz Monday night, 131-109. However the game didn't really begin until the 4th quarter when the Knicks started sending in the bench players. That's when the magic happened:

Within minutes, bored fans began chanting for the rookie Andy Rautins. Midway through the quarter, they got their wish, cheering wildly as Rautins approached the scorer’s table.

Rautins logged 5+ minutes, scoring two points, grabbing one board and coughing up three turnovers. But let's not focus on the negative. Let's focus on the fact that, after tonight, there is one indisputable fact.

Knicks fans love Andy Rautins. Even if he has no idea how to change a tire.

Andy knows how to change a tire.

He just wants to make sure AAA knows how.

Go Orange!

I found them talking about it

They don’t say anything about calling AAA, but they talk about how it happened. It was kind of funny. At least, it was funnier than trying to study the Cold War.

I watched

the win over the hawks. It was nice to see Andy and Melo bro’ing down on the bench. Laughing, shoving, holding hands

Fuck

Andy Rautins is the Brian Scalabrine of the New York Knicks.

Brian Scalabrine currently occupies that role for the Chicago Bulls, but he’s fulfilled that role with Boston Celtics and the New Jersey Nets during his 10-year NBA career. Monday night at the Verizon Center, the Bulls were comfortably ahead, when suddenly Bulls and Wizards fans starting chanting, “Scal-a-bri-nee!”. 30 seconds later, Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau, maybe because he was influenced by the fans or maybe because he just wanted to clear his bench, inserted Scalabrine into the game and the fans erupted. 30 seconds after that, Scalabrine scored on a running bank shot, and cheers were deafening.
