The Knicks are 0-3 and tied for the most exceedingly bad record in the NBA with the Bulls. Obviously, it's solitary three recreations into a 82-amusement season, yet starting at the present moment, it's difficult to contend that the Knicks are not the most exceedingly terrible group in the NBA.

In their three recreations, they are averaging misfortunes by 15 PPG. The home opener against the Pistons where they just lost by four and scored 107 was where they blew a noteworthy lead. The other two recreations they scored 89 and 84. In both of those recreations the Knicks' offense was desolate and they were messy. They had 39 turnovers in those recreations and are averaging more than 16 turnovers an amusement. It's been a revolting showcase of b-ball.
Looking to the next awful groups, the Bulls have at any rate scored triple digits in two of the three. In the diversion they didn't, they held the Spurs to only 87.
The Sixers are 1-4, yet have been focused in four out of five of them, and simply lost to the Rockets at the bell. The Mavericks are at 1-4 and they have battled, yet at the same time have looked superior to the Knicks.
Things need to change for the Knicks. Jeff Hornacek needs to play Willy Hernangomez more. Honest Ntilikina needs to get solid and begin playing. Tim Hardaway, Jr. must turn out to be more reliable and not only a three-point shooter. Hornacek needs to simply improve the situation at his activity.

The offense is lost, they're messy, and are depending too vigorously on Kristaps Porzingis and Enes Kanter, their solitary twofold digit scorers, to set up every one of the pails. There should be more circulation, ball development, and exertion. It's disturbing a portion of the statements players are making that fall specifically on Hornacek.
The group isn't hustling or getting back on barrier. It's not in any case November, and it's looking like April watching this group play at this moment. It's baffling to the fans and it must disappoint Scott Perryand Steve Mills. It will go to a point that the Knicks need to make an exchange and fire Hornacek.
While they would prefer not to exchange Ntilikina and Hernangomez for Suns PG Eric Bledsoe, they will need to rethink soon. On the off chance that the Suns' asking cost goes down a bit and they just need to surrender one of the two alongside possibly Courtney Lee and Kyle O'Quinn, the Knicks need to pull the trigger. This can not transform into a 15-20 win period of unwatchable, negligible ball.
Starting at this moment, the Knicks do resemble the most exceedingly terrible group in the NBA. Except if those things are settled, it could remain as such, which would mean Hornacek will be out of an occupation. While Friday against the Nets resembles an opportunity to begin settling things, the Nets are falling off a prevail upon the Cavaliers, and have looked exceptionally strong. They are playing group b-ball and keeping the ball moving, which ought to have the Knicks taking notes. Ntilikina will return Friday, so we should perceive how Hornacek deals with the turn and check whether the freshman point monitor can shoot some life into this so far dormant group.
