If there is something, anything, defining the Knicks season to date is that it’s been a true rollercoaster. The team has played 10 games (nine through Monday) and it has yet to string either three consecutive wins or losses.
Only twice, in fact, have the Knicks lost or won two games in back-to-back matchups during the early part of the schedule. The problem for New York in the eyes of the analysts power ranking the league this week is that after beating Philly on the NBA Cup opener they put up a putrid 1-3 record including losses to the Hawks and the Rockets.
