So, you know what?

If they're going through a malaise now and Josh Hart's not playing now and maybe Carl Anthony Towns is, you know, whatever, floating around, I think that the Knicks have graduated to the point where we can expect them to flip a switch come the playoffs.

I do.

Well, I think they're going to flip a switch far before the playoffs.

Like, this isn't going to continue.

Well, they're going to have it in February.

Look, what's damaging about last night is, and this is a question for each individual Knick fan, I know what Tommy used to tell us, he said home court advantage matters to him, which I respect.

Losing last night to Detroit, putting themselves in a greater hole, they also dropped behind Boston, and major credit to what they've done without Jason Tatum, maybe on his way back soon.

I think that, yes, it hurts their efforts to get the number one seed.

I don't think there's any question about that.

I happen to not think it's a big deal, despite the regular season splits.

Just to put it in perspective, the Knicks are 7-9 on the road.

The Nets are 6-9 on the road.

So obviously they have not been a good road team, but let's not forget the playoffs last year.

How'd they do in Detroit last year?

I'll remind you, they didn't lose.

So I'm not overly concerned about the home road thing come playoff time.

It's just frustrating to sit there and watch a lack of effort.

I mean, they didn't care last night.

They didn't care at the beginning of the game.
