The New York Knicks are amid their worst stretch of the season, as they've lost four straight games, the most recent of which was a bludgeoning against a Pistons squad on the second night of a back-to-back, and have now slipped to the third seed in the Eastern Conference standings with a record of 23-13.
Though fans may have their own theories for why the team has seen its once dominant level of production fall off a cliff as of late (absence of Josh Hart, too much late-game hero ball, etc.), The Ringer's Bill Simmons believes a developing issue with New York may be one that's more of an internal, personal matter.
