Knicks lost the handicap, which they had at the start of the regular season. So far Tom Thibodeau is unable to improve team's performance. He switched many strategies, but Knicks are still unsuccessful. New York team lost 4 out of 5 most recent matches. Seems like team's squad needs to be strengthened.
