Seventeen losses in a row. Seventeen. The last time the Knicks won a game we were talking ourselves into what this team would look like once a certain overgrown Latvian came back into the mix. Times have changed, but the Knicks’ commitment to shooting themselves in the foot en route to increasingly frustrating losses hasn’t.
Last night was as good a chance of winning a game as the Knicks have had during this stretch against a similarly horrible team. Yet the Knicks were down by eight within the first three possessions of the game, forcing David Fizdale to call an early timeout.
