The Knicks were in Brooklyn last night (Wednesday) to play the Nets, a fragile and disjointed team that was without All-Star guard Kyrie Irving, who was suspended by team CEO and governor Joe Tsai last week for a minimum of five games.
The banishment came after Irving failed to put forth what Tsai deemed to be an adequate apology for posting a link to a movie on his Twitter account that has been characterized as antiSemitic.
Last night was the first time this regular season the Knicks and Nets have met. The Knicks were 5-5 prior to the matchup and the Nets were 4-7. What has stood out thus far for the Knicks is that they have handled the team they seemingly should beat but have not fared well against the NBA’s better competition.
The Hornets, the Pistons—who the Knicks will face again at the Garden tomorrow night—and the Magic were the bottom three teams in the Eastern Conference standings as of yesterday. Conversely, the teams to whom the Knicks had experienced all of their losses—the Memphis Grizzlies, Milwaukee Bucks, Cleveland Cavaliers, Atlanta Hawks and Boston Celtics—are among the most talented clubs in basketball.
