When you are the Knicks & you have this star studded team, you're struggling, the media is going nuts, every game people act like it's game 7 of the Finals. It's tough. People forget that these guys are human. They definitely want to win but it's just been snowballing on them.
Think about the Boston game. They stormed back, took a 103-100 lead, appeared on their way to a great win. Pierce hits a pretty lucky 3 with seconds left, it goes to OT, they lose, losing streak ensues. If Pierce misses that desperation 3 and they won that game, they could be on a 6 game winning streak right now, not a 6 game losing streak. Sometimes it's that fragile. Maybe D'Antoni will have to be fired, but all it takes in sports sometimes is just 1 or 2 good wins and your confidence can be back & you can get some momentum. Hopefully that starts tonight.
