The sky is falling on the New York Knicks (3-4) after only seven games.
RJ Barrett is playing like a boyfriend who’s trying to salvage a relationship after his partner has cheated; he’s going through the motions, unconvincingly. Evan Fournier seems like he is halfway out the door. Mitchell Robinson is so inconsequential on offense that the game becomes 4-on-5 when the Knicks have the ball, save for stray lobs—plus, Mitch averages 5.8 fouls per 36 minutes. Julius Randle has shown encouraging signs through the first few games but still resorts to bad habits when the offense falls into disarray.
