NEW YORK -- How quickly do things change in the NBA?
Just last Wednesday, Carmelo Anthony was pretty optimistic about his New York Knicks after they lost to the Milwaukee Bucks on a last-second shot.
“I think we’ll win a lot of games if we play the way that we played throughout most of this game tonight,” Anthony said then.
Fast-forward just eight days and it’s hard to find that same optimism around the club.
As you’d expect, players are becoming increasingly frustrated with the direction of the season. Anthony and others expressed that frustration publicly after the Knicks’ loss on Wednesday to the Philadelphia 76ers.
