The New York Knicks are underachieving no matter how you slice it. After finishing fourth in the Eastern Conference and making marquee additions in free agency, 11th place in the Eastern Conference isn’t good enough. Not by a longshot.
With that said, we haven’t even hit the midway point of the season. Tom Thibodeau‘s Knicks have plenty of time to turn things around. In fact, the 2020-21 Knicks were 19-19 through 38 games, just one game better than this year’s squad.
But if the Knicks are going to make a turnaround, now would be a good time to start.
