Seven games into the season, the Knicks are already a team in crisis. This looked, in so many troubling ways, like so many games out of last year.
They seized a 23-point lead in the second quarter, and then were outscored by 42 — by 42! — across the next 25 minutes. The crowd implored them for a while but even the faithful lost faith after seeing so much carnage.
Tom Thibodeau said after the Knicks’ 112-99 loss to Dejounte Murray and the Hawks that his team has “to do better.”“It was compounded,” Thibodeau said. “If you’re missing shots, they’re pushing the ball up the floor, giving them easy buckets the other way. They’re going to make up ground quickly. And they did.”The Knicks were porous on defense, ponderous on offense, poor in transition, patsies off the glass and none of those things was the worst part of the night.
Now it’s three in a row, and the schedule doesn’t ease up for another week, and there needs to be a profound change in how they’re doing things because we have seen before how 3-4 can become 3-8 in the blink of an eye. And don’t think the rest of the league didn’t notice how the Knicks evaporated once the Hawks threw a zone at them.The games come at you fast: Philly, Boston, Minnesota, Brooklyn.
