The Knicks' mixed results in Week 1 were probably more about the opponents - the difference between the Celtics and everybody else - than the Knicks themselves.
Though the different results were almost entirely about the defensive end of the floor, the Knicks did retain almost 30% of available offensive rebounds on Friday.
It's worth noting that Schuhmann released his rankings before the Knicks lost to the Cavs on Monday, which makes it fair to assume New York would have dropped even further had that loss been factored into the ranks.
Considering the Knicks had to face three teams expected to make it past the first round of the playoffs while navigating a depleted roster featuring many new faces, winning .333 of their games ain't that bad.
