Through 11 games, there has been one Knicks constant: Their inconsistency.
. They vacillate between the bench being a strength and a weakness, from shooting the lights out one night and not being able to throw the ball in the ocean the next.
“When you have a new group of guys and almost every other game different people are starting in the lineup, you’re gonna get that, where guys are playing and don’t wanna mess up the game. So, they’re playing it very safe. Until we get that consistent play of urgency, I think that we’re gonna have times like this.
For the most part, effort has not been a problem, until Wednesday night in Brooklyn. Several Knicks attributed the lopsided loss to not playing hard enough. Jalen Brunson was by far the most critical, saying the Knicks’ effort was ‘’not OK. It’s something that we need to quickly recover from.” Of course, the 27-point loss to the Nets wasn’t about little things. It was everything, from missing shots to missed defensive assignments to overall lackadaisical play. It felt like an anomaly, the one game this year the Knicks really had no shot to win. It made the performance against the Nets feel like a massive step back, getting obliterated by a team that had been in turmoil itself.
