The new year has not been kind to the Knicks.
New York, pegged as a favorite to come out of the East entering the season, owns a paltry 2-8 record since the calendar flipped to 2026. The Knicks’ most recent slide has been particularly concerning. After their defeat at the hands of the Mavericks at Madison Square Garden on Monday night, the orange and blue have lost four straight games. The offense looks disjointed and the defense uninspired. Karl Anthony-Towns has been particularly detrimental to the team’s winning efforts at times but these last few losses have been total team efforts and nobody should escape blame.
