Frederick Douglass famously said, “If there is no struggle, there is no progress.”
The New York Knicks are currently struggling big time. Friday night’s loss in Cleveland, the fifth straight for New York, drops the Knicks to 5-8 on the season. They would no longer qualify for the playoffs if the season ended today. The feelings that existed after that three-game win streak have evaporated, replaced by a familiar sense of doom.
The Knicks can’t beat anyone right now. Their offense is garbage. Their late game execution is trash. Hey Siri, what are more synonyms for the things you throw out?
