Happy Martin Luther King Jr Day, everybody. On a day when we remember a great man—and wonder if we’ll ever see another—a Knicks (25*-17) team that’s been less than great of late will try to leverage home-court advantage and snap a three-game losing streak. Their opponent, the Dallas Mavericks (17-26), are flopping around near the bottom of the Western Conference barrel. After flipping Luka Dončić to the Lakers last February, Dallas defied the odds and won the draft lottery. Their number one pick, the phenom Cooper Flagg, is their new centerpiece. Pairing him with veterans Anthony Davis, Klay Thompson, and D’Angelo Russell has brought uneven results, however. Injuries, road struggles, and front-office turnover have undercut consistency. Even with Flagg making a strong case for Rookie of the Year, Dallas remains well outside the playoff picture. When they met on November 19, the Knicks slipped by the Mavs 113-111 in Dallas. Jalen Brunson scored 28 points in his return from an ankle injury. Despite poor free-throw shooting (19-of-35) and early three-point struggles, New York sealed the win when Landry Shamet hit two late triples and drew a crucial charging foul in the final seconds. The Mavericks, missing Flagg due to illness, got 23 points each from bench players D’Angelo Russell and Naji Marshall, but couldn’t overcome their starters’ limited output in a game. Coach Jason Kidd has the Mavs playing solid defense, but their offense ranks among the worst in the league. They are one of the NBA’s worst shooting teams from downtown, which means that they’ll sizzle beyond the arc against the Knicks. Dallas will be shorthanded, with multiple rotation players sidelined. Daniel Gafford (ankle), D’Angelo Russell (illness), and P.J. Washington (personal) are all out, while Anthony Davis remains out indefinitely with a finger thing. Flagg is listed as a game-time decision with a bum ankle. Prediction ESPN.com favors the Knicks by 76%. Yeah, we hope. They have stumbled through a rough January, culminating in Saturday’s morale-busting loss to Phoenix. Jalen Brunson’s ankle issue and Josh Hart’s nagging injuries (both are GTD’s with sore ankles) have compounded the team’s inconsistency, as have up-and-down performances by Karl-Anthony Towns and the other starters. A win today would bail a few buckets of water out of what has felt like a sinking ship. Let’s make it so. Knicks by eight.

It’s an ugly time in Knickerbocker Town. Not here at P&T where we’re always smiling and laughing, right?

You got to sprint down the floor, and even if you’re the last guy down the floor, you got to get down there, just in case there’s a long rebound. But there was no urgency. Now, that wasn’t the only play. There were a handful of plays where we did that, but there was no sense urgency on that particular play to get back. And it was a five-point swing.” On defensive breakdown after a turnover:“He drove, he fell down. When you fall down, you got to get up and got to sprint down the floor. And even when you’re the last guy down the floor, you got to get down there just in case there’s a long rebound. But there was no urgency. That wasn’t the only play. There were a handful of plays that we did that. But there was no sense of urgency on that particular play to get back. And it was a five-point swing. If he at least gets down the floor, long rebound, he’s going to get it because he’s trailing the play. We watched the play at halftime and he didn’t even cross halfcourt. That sums up what our night was.” On concern level during losing stretch:“You don’t want to lose games at all, but especially going 2-8 in the last 10. There’s concern there, but not to the point to where we’re going to overhaul everything. We got to work. We got to look in the mirror and see how we can individually help the group, starting with me. And then we got to get in the gym, we got to work as much as we can. We got to keep trying to fight like we did tonight, and if we do, we’re going to give ourselves a chance.” On failure to execute game plan:“We didn’t respond. We didn’t respond at all. I got to give the Kings credit because they took it to us. And we didn’t respond in any way, shape or form. But even before Jalen got hurt, we weren’t following the game plan. And I’m not sure why. But we were kind of just out there just going through the motions. And if you go through the motions in this league, it doesn’t matter. You’re going to get your behind kicked. And we got our behind kicked.” On halftime adjustment with Towns:“We said, ‘Hey, when you catch down there, they’re coming. So you may have to spray, quickly.’ And I think he tried a couple times.” On turnovers despite preparation:“They got their hands on the ball and we ended up turning it over. But we knew they were coming. And I thought our spacing was good. We just didn’t get the ball out to the right guys in a timely manner.” On foul trouble impact:“That’s how he plays. I didn’t think it impacted us. What I did feel was KAT picking up his fifth foul and us having to sit him down. That hurt us because we were playing relatively good at the time.” On fouling as a team issue:“All of our guys — not just KAT — all of our guys have to lead with their chest and show their hands. The officials allow you out on the floor to hand-check now a little bit, so that’s the time. It’s not just KAT. It’s all of us. It wasn’t just one guy — a whole team. So we gotta do a better job in that area, just in general.” On reacting to boos at MSG:“You don’t ever want to have boos, but at the end of the day, the fans here are passionate and you respect and embrace their passion. But it hurts. It hurts the staff, it hurts the players.” On resisting drastic…
