Julius Randle’s struggles so far this season have been well-documented, but could some of his issues lie in how and where he’s being used on the court, and how and where his teammates are receiving passes from him? Could the way to save the Knicks’ season actually be to use Randle more?

The Knicks thoroughly dismantled the Spurs at Madison Square Garden, entering the halfway point of the season 20-21, same as a year ago. Does this team have the second half run in it that that bunch had?

The Knicks once again find themselves at a crossroads: the bench soundly outplayed the starters in their win over the shorthanded Pistons. Are the five off the pine entirely better than the starting five?

The Knicks once again found themselves playing backdrop to a history-making moment in a losing effort, this time having Stephen Curry break the NBA’s all-time 3-pointers made record at Madison Square Garden.

The Knicks once again came out flat, falling behind by 20 points in the first quarter in Toronto and ultimately dooming them to another loss, this time taking them to two games under .500.

The Knicks came out extremely flat on the second night of a road back-to-back in Indiana, falling behind by nearly 30 before dropping back below .500.

A couple of prods at young studs RJ Barrett and Mitchell Robinson by Tom Thibodeau led to both breaking out in a big way and leading the Knicks to a losing-streak-busting win.

For the eighth time this season, the New York Knicks suffered a loss on their home floor, falling to reigning MVP Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets, 113-99.

The Knicks put up a putrid first quarter vs. the Bulls, but stormed back to take the lead late before ultimately faltering and losing to the second-best team in the East by record.

The Knicks traveled very slightly east to face off against the conference-leading Nets in a New York showdown. The new-look starting lineup showed out and ultimately came up just short.

Kemba Walker is not only out of the starting lineup, but out of the Knicks’ rotation altogether. What does the decision to start Alec Burks mean for the Knicks? What will Kemba’s benching mean for him and the team?

Returning to the site of last year’s postseason failures, the Knicks put together a strong full 48 minutes of basketball against the Hawks team that bested them last season in the playoffs.

The Knicks got out big, almost gave it up, but pulled through to defend home court against the LeBron-less Lakers, 106-100.

The Knicks seemed primed to potentially lose to another cellar-dweller at home, but an Alec Burks explosion in the fourth let New York escape with a win over the lowly Rockets.

After taking one step forward vs. the Pacers on Monday, the Knicks took two steps back vs. the lowly Magic, dropping yet another home game to Orlando and falling to 1-2 against one of the league’s worst teams.

The Knicks went up against a vastly inferior team in their second game of the season, and as they should have, they won in grand fashion — besting the Orlando Magic by 25 and breaking the franchise record for 3-pointers made.

The streak lives on, with the New York Knicks moving to 3-0 this preseason after a comeback victory over the Cade Cunningham-less Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night.

Finding playing time might be hard this season for the first player the Knicks selected in the 2021 NBA Draft: Quentin Grimes. That said, could Grimes’ penchant for tough D and shooting cause him to stop “situational” from being a swear word among Knicks fans?

Previously a journeyman, Alec Burks perhaps found his home for the future last season when he signed a one-year deal with the Knicks, later re-upping on a two-year pact this summer. Could Burks come close to replicating his nearly historic pull-up shooting numbers from last season?

The Knicks’ breakout fourth seed season is definitely the start of something special — but could next season actually feature a bit of a regression? Short of a huge splash in free agency, it might — and it’s not a big deal.
