A band of slakers that believe that talent alone will get them wins. They deserve every loss thinking like that.

To be fair..You can't build a team of starting vets with rooks on the bench and think the vets will play 40 mins a night..

Hey guys, new to the board. This team does have mental issues. Great ball movement in the first quarter, then nothing in then 2nd. Knicks are the most baffling team, new players, new coach, same result.

Happy New Year to all.

I know it's frustrating but we have to hope they can regroup when they get home. They were playing some good ball before this bad stretch and I'm confident they can get back to playing better. I do think Phil needs to make some changes tho.

It's not baffling at all..Melo and Rose played 40 and 38 mins last night..They aren't machines..That's how players get injured..Melo and Rose played 19 and 20 mins in the first half..

Welcome!!! I agree that this team has split personality disorder!!! If they could do anything right consistently they'd be winning.

Melo is done for the night. He looked stiff to me running off the court. SMH.

The best we've played this year has only been for a few stretches in games that have helped us win. Our problems not only have remained, but have been magnified lately. Our defense is embarrassing. Our offense has been inconsistent and lacking unity and movement, our players talk a lot and show little.

Different crew, same sinking feeling.

You're right that this team never did play consistently good ball. They won with timely production which was enough to win but I was expecting that they would continue to improve and find consistency.
That's still possible but the way they look scares you.

Hey despite all the angst the Knicks are at least fighting to get back in this game. I like the effort.
