No one around Madison Square Garden is happy about the New York Knicks' start to the 2014-15 season, including recent re-signed superstar Carmelo Anthony.
“The fans are dying, we’re dying. We’re out there, we’re not producing. We didn’t expect, I didn’t expect to be sitting at 5-26,” Anthony said after the team's home loss to the Washington Wizards on Christmas Day, via ESPN.com. “So as much as I feel for the fans, I feel for us going through it, too. I don’t expect nobody to feel sorry for us, I don’t expect nobody to feel sorry for me.”
The Knicks have lost 16 of their last 17, and have gone from projected back-end Eastern Conference playoff contenders to challenging the Philadelphia 76ers and Minnesota Timberwolves for the mantle of worst team in the NBA.
With teams keying in on Carmelo Anthony (21 of his 28 shots against the Wizards were contested) and forcing a thin Knicks talent pool to try and step up, the light at the end of the tunnel remains dim heading towards the turn of the calendar.
