As the playoffs approach, the Knicks are still searching for their identity

Even if they remain third in the Eastern Conference and stay at 12 wins in their last 16 matches, Nix they are clearly not soothing. Recent losses against the Pistons, then the one against the Cavaliers has very clearly shown the limits of the team, which is struggling to perform at its best level. Obviously, seven weeks before the playoffs, that’s a concern.

“We have to be our best version when the playoffs come”, published by Karl-Anthony Towns which perfectly symbolizes the irregularity of his team. “For now, we’re still looking for each other. We’re still figuring out our system, how to implement all the new things, the nuances that come with it, the changes we’re trying to make. It’s still a process.”

“We’re still looking for the style we want to play, our identity”confirms Josh Hart. “That’s why we sometimes have absences. We have to find an answer together. Time is running out, so we have to spend our next twenty matches finding our identity and playing better.”

City and eager fans

The regular season is well into its second quarter, with 59 games played for Mike Brown’s men, but Jaylen Brunson and “KAT” are still asking for patience from the fans at Madison Square Garden.

“We are getting better every day. The idea is not to be at our maximum during the 60th match »assures the leader. “In New York, everyone wants the finished product right away. But we’re still asking a lot”the interior insists. “We are like a new team, which still has things to work out with its system.

Will we have to wait until the playoffs to judge the Knicks? “I’ve seen teams come together late and win the title,” rassure Karl-Anthony Towns. “We have to continue to keep our heads in check, block out the outside noise and continue to improve every day. When the playoffs start, we won’t have time for that. So we have to be at our best come playoff time, so we don’t have any regrets.”
