Taking a step back

It’s been a while since the Knicks needed an excuse.
How about tired legs?
It would explain the defense giving away points like day-old bakery goods. It would explain the offense managing just 10 points after the Knicks closed to within four in the opening minutes of the fourth.
And you can’t blame Isiah Thomas for practicing yesterday in the middle of consecutive back-to-back sets. Nothing comes easy to the Knicks, who have to expend a ridiculous amount of energy to pick up each win.
It could get worse in Miami tonight, unless they rest up. Four games in five nights is a drag.
That’s never an easy thing for an NBA team with South Beach just a cab ride away, which makes the Heat’s 4-13 home record impossible to understand.
• I know he’s not deserved a second look all season, but the Knicks really needed to find Quentin Richardson early in the second half just to see whether the shot was still falling.
• Fred Jones is getting too many minutes, right now.
• It would be nice to see Jamal Crawford and Nate Robinson driving and dishing when they can’t get legs under those shots from long range.
