The era of patience disappeared when New York Knicks president Steve Mills and general manager Scott Perry approached the podium after a mid-November loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Disappointed with a then-2-8 record, they emphasized the next 10 games for evaluating where the team sits.
Well, that second 10-game window is nearing its end, and the Knicks are 2-5.
Coach David Fizdale’s team is 4-13 and back at the bottom of the Eastern Conference, with only the Golden State Warriors having a worse record. That’s one way for the Knicks to group themselves with this decade’s most successful organization.
