Just when it appears the New York Knicks can’t get any worse, the unthinkable happens: they descend even lower into basketball hell.
The Knicks lost to the Nets Saturday in Madison Square Garden, improving New Jersey’s record to 7-55 on the season and making history along the way.
The Knicks finished the game 0-18 from 3-point range, setting a new record for most attempts without a make.
Al Harrington was the primary culprit, missing all five attempts from long distance. Tracy McGrady missed both of his 3-point attempts and finished with just two points in 23 minutes.
Meanwhile, the Nets ran all over the Knicks in the second half, shot 50 percent from the field for the game, and connected on 14 3-pointers. The Garden crowd was almost too disinterested to even bother booing.
Don’t think the NBA’s marquee free agents are lining up for the opportunity to play with the likes of Danilo Gallinari and Wilson Chandler. It will take much more than LeBron to lift the Knicks above mediocrity.
The worst could be yet to come in NYC.
