The New York Knicks are on a seven-game losing streak with the Denver Nuggets in town on Thursday. Denver is sporting a 13-5 record despite the fact that Nikola Jokic isn’t playing his best basketball right now.
This could spell trouble for David Fizdale and the Knicks. The head coach is feeling the heat in New York during his second season at the helm of the Knickerbockers. No one was expecting a playoff appearance this season, but a 4-17 start is well below expectations.
However, Nuggets head coach Mike Malone empathizes with his fellow coach, understanding the challenges of coaching in New York.
