Wednesday night’s 111-106 home loss to the Brooklyn Nets was just another example of how the New York Knicks let themselves down. The Knicks blew a lead of up to 28 points in the second quarter as they struggled to contain the Nets in the second half and played a sloppy style of basketball. It’s customary to place the responsibility for defeats like these on the head coach, so if that’s the case with Tom Thibodeau, he must be beginning to feel a little less comfortable in his job, especially considering that the Knicks have blown big leads multiple times this month.

The New York team’s current record after the loss is just 25-34, which isn’t even good enough to get them into the play-in tournament.
