11月2日，24直播网报道，近期，前洛杉矶湖人队主教练拜伦·斯科特在《拜伦·斯科特的快速突破》访谈节目中，对尼克斯队新赛季初期的不理想战绩（目前战绩为2胜4负）发表了看法。
斯科特透露：“他们似乎仍旧沉醉于去年夺冠的欢愉之中，庆祝活动似乎有些过分。或许在下周，他们可能会突然顿悟，意识到新赛季的征程已然开启，他们需要重新以严谨的态度投入到比赛中。”
Since the Knicks secured their title, the Eastern Conference has witnessed a surge in competition. Post-securing the championship, every team perceives you as their prime adversary, with every player striving to best their opponents. I am well aware that their opening encounter against the 76ers will be a formidable challenge, especially as it coincides with the championship ring ceremony. Once you receive the ring, your thoughts are far from the game itself.
I recall instances where I endured harsh defeats on the very night I received my championship medal, a testament to the grueling nature of such contests. Nonetheless, as the defending champions, they suffered setbacks in their subsequent two matches. With the strength of other Eastern Conference teams on the rise, they are in urgent need of a strategic recalibration.
