After winning 13 of 14 games since starting the season at 3-8, the surprising New York Knicks have lost three straight games. The short rotation being utilized by Knicks coach Mike D’Antoni is now beginning to take its toll on his starters. The numbers would not lie as weariness slowly crept in. The Knicks starters are averaging a combined 38 minutes per game. Knicks President of Basketball Operations Donnie Walsh says D’Antoni went for the short rotation because they were winning but he also gave a hint that the depth maybe stretched soon to avoid total burn out on the starting unit of the team, according to Newsday.
“All the depth hasn't played, so you don't know. We've played a short rotation and understandably so, because we're trying to win games. We started off 3-8 and went to a short rotation and it worked.”
