Game Preview

When the season began, few expected the New York Knicks' biggest problem to be offense.

Yet the Knicks visit the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night looking to avoid their worst losing streak of the Carmelo Anthony era, largely because of their inability to put the ball in the basket.

Though Anthony ranks second in the NBA at 26.5 points per game, the team as a whole has taken a major dip. New York ranks 25th in the league with 93.2 points per game, a 6.8 drop from last season, and has averaged 89.0 in regulation over its last five.

The Knicks have shot 41.5 percent from the field during this losing streak, which matches their longest since an eight-game skid Feb. 5-23, 2010 - a year before Anthony's arrival.

Following the latest defeat, 102-91 at Portland on Monday, Anthony admitted his frustration is at an "all-time high."

"We get stagnant at times," said Anthony, who had 34 points and 15 rebounds. "We want to play, then we don't want to play. We just aren't putting a full 48 minutes together, offensively, defensively, we just aren't doing it."

The Knicks (3-10) need improved production from the rest of their roster besides Anthony. Reigning Sixth Man of the Year J.R. Smith has seen his scoring drop from 18.1 points per game to 12.4 this season. Raymond Felton is shooting a career-worst 37.6 percent from the field, including 7 of 34 on 3-point attempts, and could return Wednesday after missing four games with a hip injury.

New York is among the Eastern Conference leaders in 3-pointers attempted (327) but has made just 33.0 percent, compared to 37.6 last season.

"When you lose six in a row, you keep talking about effort," said Smith, at 29.6 percent from 3-point range. "You can't coach effort, you can't teach effort, that's just the game. You have to come out and play hard. If we don't come out and play hard, we're going to keep losing."

Now the Knicks must outscore a Los Angeles team which ranks second in the NBA at 107.9 points per game and is shooting 48.1 percent from the field - a mark the Knicks haven't reached since the season opener. Chris Paul leads the NBA in assists by a wide margin, and five regulars average double figures in scoring.

Los Angeles held the Knicks below 90 points in both meetings last season - Smith shot 5 for 29 - and won each by double digits. Paul averaged 22.5 points.

I really do not see the purpose of these West coast trips when the Knicks most likely will lose all the games in it. I can't remember the last time they went West and came out with a winning road trip. Even when they didn't suck they would finish like 1-4 or 2-3. As loyal as Knicks fans have been over the years, is it really worth it for fans living in the East coast to stay up late and watch this team get spanked by the Clippers?

march last season 1-5 on road but it was no MELo no TYSOn and no Felton just Kidd Thomas Novak Camby JR.

The way we are playing now, there is no need to stay up late and watch this game. Without Tyson, even if we play hard and smart bball, there is almost no chance to beat that team in LA.
