Where is the effort?! C’mon Knicks!!! Augh, my heart is hurting. Last night the Knicks fell to 3-11 after losing to the Clippers 93-80. It was the Knicks seventh consecutive loss & held a team meeting after.
Check out what Carmelo Anthony, Raymond Felton & Metta World Peace had to say about it…
Via ESPN:
…players and coaches held a 20-minute, closed-door meeting.
“The easiest thing for us to do is just to crumble right now,” Carmelo Anthony said. “We are in a dark place but we have to get out of this. We just have to get out of it.”
“We talked. Everybody talked,” Anthony said. “The players had a meeting, the coaches — everybody had a meeting after the game. We had to talk. We’re trying to figure it out together. We have to put four quarters together. We got to do it for one another. Right now the game is not for nobody. We’re just not making it happen.

Knicks point guard Raymond Felton started Wednesday after missing the previous four games with a back injury, but his return wasn’t enough to improve the Knicks’ fortunes.
“It hurts. It’s something that no team wants,” Felton said. “We don’t want it. We’re not used to it. It’s mind-boggling. I can’t really put it into words. We’ve got to keep fighting. We’ve got to figure this out, someway, somehow.”
Perhaps the only Knicks player in the locker room with a somewhat sunny disposition was Metta World Peace, who was playing in his first game back at Staples Center after the Los Angeles Lakers used their amnesty rights on his contract in the offseason.
“We’re not struggling,” World Peace said. “It’s part of life. You know how life is. We had a bad hair day, you know?”
