Knicks veteran Derrick Rose seems to be at a loss for words over his team's recent failures, losing most of their games this past week.
As the Knicks witnessed Stephen Curry's record-breaking three-pointer, they slid down to 12th in the Eastern Conference. New York holds a 12-16 win-loss record while losing six out of their last eight games. A performance like this is a far cry from the team's performance last year, especially since they reached the playoffs as the fourth seed.
Rose, one of the team's leaders off the bench, admits that this struggle is a tricky puzzle to solve.

“I really don’t know,” Derrick Rose said afterward. “I can’t put a finger on it. If I could, sh*t, I’ll be screaming it. But I really can’t put a finger on it., the Knicks vet stressed on the team's struggles.
“Numbers don’t lie,” Rose said. “It’s all in the numbers. However you want to break it down, we’ve just got to figure things out.”
Last year, the Knicks achieved an impressive winning streak, convincing many that they could compete against the league's toughest teams. Even if some players remain unavailable, the squad just doesn't look composed in the defensive end—trumping the team's focal point for success last season.
With Kemba Walker out of the rotation, will the Knicks pursue a massive roster shakeup before the trade deadline? More importantly, can the Knicks turn this slump around?
