The Knicks’ past two games have featured a series of stunning mental lapses. Tonight, perhaps in an effort to ensure that everyone is extra sharp and well-rested for Saturday’s early noon tip-off against the Memphis Grizzlies at Madison Square Garden, current Knicks coach Mike Woodson is having the team stay in a New York–area hotel together, with a curfew of 10 p.m. And Woodson better not hear them talking after lights-out about which Knicks City Dancers they want to have sex with, or no pancakes.
