Are The Knicks Set To Tank?

The New York Knicks are 4-19 on the season, and have lost nine straight games. Last night's loss to the New Orleans Pelicans 104-93, has put the Knicks at one more loss than the 76ers, a team that many believe are losing on purpose to improve their chances in the NBA draft lottery.

With the Knicks off to the worst start in franchise history through 23 games, last night Carmelo Anthony said something that could officially make he Knicks the worst team in the NBA.

Carmelo Anthony has suggested he may take some time off to get his knee to 100 percent. He missed two games late last month with back spasms, and was said to be with trainers for 40 minutes getting treatment on his knee after the Pelicans loss.

“At this point, sitting down with trainers and coaches and seeing what’s best for everybody. If it’s best for me to sit out, take some time to get it right, then that’s a decision we’ll have to make. But they’ll have to pull me out." -Carmelo Anthony after Tuesday's loss.

The Knicks play the San Antonio Spurs Wednesday night, if the Knicks lose it will be 10 straight games. How long can this team hold on before melting down?
