Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns lead the New York Knicks, who boast a strong starting five but are struggling, currently down 0-2 in the Eastern Conference Finals against the Pacers with a -29 margin in two games. Coach Tom Thibodeau’s lineup has a dismal -42.9 net rating and is being targeted defensively, prompting questions about potential changes, especially with Mitchell Robinson performing well off the bench. Players acknowledge the need for improvement, emphasizing the urgency to address their slow starts and defensive lapses before it’s too late.
