The New York Knicks are off to the worst start in franchise history with a 5-25 record. As bad as things are going, president Phil Jackson, coach Derek Fisher, and star player Carmelo Anthony have all been keeping up a positive appearance and acting like things are going to get better. Well finally someone is telling the truth and it’s Knicks guard, Pablo Prigioni.
via Newsday:
“Maybe we don’t have enough talent to win,” Pablo Prigioni said after the Knicks sank to 5-25 with Sunday’s 118-108 loss in Toronto.
“I don’t have the right answer or the explanation to know why we are in this situation,” Prigioni said. “I’m a positive guy and I always think the next game is going to be better than the last game. And 30 games into the season and we are in a very bad position.”
“I think everybody is trying to do their best,” he said. “But it’s like we need something. I don’t know what [that] is. We fight, we compete against everybody, but at the end of the game, we don’t have that energy or that mentality to put the game in our pocket. It’s tough.”
Here’s Carmelo Anthony’s thoughts:
“I kind of try to approach each day as a new day,” he said. “Try to stay positive throughout this whole situation. Just keep believing that it will turn around one day. I’ve got to be strong for myself mentally and then for the other guys, who probably are not taking it as well.”
Anthony who’s battling a knee injury, needs to shut it down and get the surgery he probably requires instead of playing a ridiculous amount of minutes and wearing out his body for a team with really no chance of making the playoffs.
A lot of Knicks fans are already in tank for Okafor mode.
