For all that dough:
* they have the 3rd-worst OPP PPG;
* they have the 4th-worst PPG-OPP PPG differential;
* they are 3rd-last in assists;
* they are 5th-last in blocks;
* they lead the league in turnovers;
* they have the worst assist-turnover ratio;
* they are 4th in team technicals;
* Jamal Crawford is shooting 40%;
* prized acquisition Quentin Richardson is shooting 35%;
* much-ballyhooed rookie PG Nate Robinson is shooting 40%;
* the Knicks have NO ONE who is averaging even 1.0 block ppg;
* they have only 2 guys averaging a steal a game;
* they have two players (Allan Houston and Anfernee Hardaway) who are making $35 million between them diddling themselves on the bench
Best of all, their record is 14-30....
