It’s the thought that counts, right?
Nice April Fools’ Joke there in the huddle, Quincy Acy.
It’s official.
In the 1985-86 and 2007-08 seasons, the Knicks went 23-59, which, until now, had been the worst record in franchise history. But with Saturday’s blowout loss in Chicago (where current Knicks president Phil Jackson won 6 titles as a coach), the Knicks broke the franchise record for losses in a season, falling to 14-60. With 8 games left on the schedule, the Knicks figure to set their new “record” by a wide margin, and could approach the record for most losses by ANY team (although they will not “catch” the 9-73 Sixers team from 1973).
Now, while the Knicks have set all kinds of “worst in team history” records this season, that doesn’t mean things can’t turn around. They lost 58, 59, and 58 games over a three-year stretch in the mid-80s, and the last two of those seasons came WITH Patrick Ewing on the roster (the first helped them GET Patrick Ewing on the roster). This miserable stretch was followed by a decade and a half of great Knicks teams. The Knicks have cap space, and will have a good pick (obviously), so with some luck and good planning, they have a chance to flip the script and get to the top of the league.
But there’s no question that THIS is rock bottom.

A master work of human engineering, it was known far and wide as the finest beard in all the land.
But as you can see in this photo taken last week, Mike Woodson’s formerly immaculate beard has betrayed him, and is now a hideous monstrosity.
The mustache area of The Great Goatee appears to be holding on for dear life.
Woody, please put yourself back together.
For us.
There’s tanking, and then there’s this.
The ball was closer to the rim before he let go of it… Lou, you shot it backwards.
Spoiler Alert: The Knicks did not win this game. But hey, they lost in OT, so maybe if this play had turned out better…
Alexey Shved has only been a Knick for a week, but he has already etched his place in Knicks history.
The Knicks are on their way to the worst season the franchise has ever seen, and Shved may have provided the season’s signature moment in Friday’s double-overtime win.
