Through six games, the New York Knicks have been one of the most frustrating teams in the NBA. There have been tantalizing displays of the team’s postseason-caliber potential and disappointing collapses in winnable games.

Though it’s easy to insult the Knicks, the more constructive process would be to determine what exactly is plaguing New York’s favorite team.

The Knicks achieved victory against the Chicago Bulls on the road and the Memphis Grizzlies at home. New York was also blown out by the Cleveland Cavaliers and Houston Rockets, and dropped winnable games to the Detroit Pistons and Utah Jazz.

In all six outings, the 2-4 Knicks have repeatedly displayed what have appeared to be the same fatal flaws.

In order to improve and make a push for the 2017 NBA Playoffs, New York must first address the current slate of issues. They aren’t impossible to correct by any stretch of the imagination, but the reparations must be made.

The question is: what are the five biggest issues with the Knicks early in the 2016-17 NBA regular season?
