The New York Knicks are down bad and if we’re going to blame anyone, it’s Karl-Anthony Towns.
It gives no one any pleasure to point it out, but it’s true. Towns has struggled to adapt to his role in new coach Mike Brown’s pace-and-space offense and it’s all the more clearer during the Knicks’ current bad run. New York has lost nine of 11 and dropped to third in the Eastern Conference, eight games behind the top-seeded Detroit Pistons. What’s more, the Eastern Conference is close enough that the Knicks are only 1.5 games out of a play-in tournament berth.
