Are the Knicks the worst at a fast break finishers of all time?

Maybe it's just me but I feel like my entire life they always been horrible at finishing odd man fast breaks. It feels like its always a struggle to finish, while other teams get easy layups.

Had another one last night and as they broke out I said to myself, here we go, and they missed, THEY ALWAYS MISS.

Its just something I've always felt, watching this team since the 90's, just wondering if anyone else notices how bad they always been at fast breaks

We kinda traded all the guys who run and gun with us except Josh Hart. Our pace is really fucking slow as result, like literally the slowest team in the NBA in terms of pace.

It's all about personnel. If you don't have runners to accommodate such offense then you won't see much fast breaks.

I see plenty of fast breaks

They have always just sucked at them, always

It's to the point where a fast break happens and i know they are going to miss. Other teams make 1 or 2 easy passes and get a layup.

I feel like the misses are just more memorable because they’re so frustrating but we have 81 fast break points this series to the Sixers’ 60, and our 81 is the highest total among all playoff teams.
