But these opinions are voiced rarely, if ever, by people who actually watch and know basketball.

This is a little late, folks. If the delay has caused you to not properly plan your Knicks-related TV-watching time, forgive me. I can relate to the struggle for the living room’s boob tube.

The Knicks were among the healthiest teams in basketball last season. Most trackers rank them in the bottom ten for minutes, games, salary, and production lost due to injuries in the 2024-25 season.
