When the New York Knicks beat the Brooklyn Nets by 30 points last week, it appeared the team may be turning the corner on their disastrous season while waiting on the return of Tyson Chandler.
It was further encouraging when they followed that impressive victory with an even better 38-point victory against the Orlando Magic. New York hit a combined 33 3-pointers in that two-game stretch. In the anemic Atlantic Division, all they really needed was to put a string of good games together to get back into the thick of things.
Unfortunately, all positive thoughts went out the window when they suffered a humiliating 41-point loss to the Boston Celtics at Madison Square Garden, followed by a 109-94 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday. The Knicks are now 5-15 on the season, making them the second worst team in the entire conference.
Iman Shumpert, who has scored a combined two points in his last two games, summed up the situation his team is in with one word:
Insanity.

If only he could add an “L” in front of that word.
