On Saturday, the New York Knicks (8-7) will finish a three-game homestand with a tilt against the Houston Rockets (1-14). The Rockets must be coming off a loss because they’ve lost every game but one (which was against OKC, another cellar-dweller). Alarms are ringing in the media that Houston is ruining its young colts. Will all this losing fortify character or instill irrevocable psychological issues? Time will tell.
As for the Knicks, they continue to confound. They won a morale-booster on Monday against the Pacers, but then dropped yet another game to the lowly Orlando Magic (that’s two losses against the Disneys this season).
