Knicks trying the power of positive thinking

The start to the Knicks season has been shaky, with a current record of 3-12 on the season that included an eight-game losing streak. Knicks brass have decided to take a different approach to motivate the team by using the power of thinking positive.

Indications are a new edict has come down from above — either new president Steve Mills or owner James Dolan. Enough of the morose, hypercritical, gloom-and-doom talk, because it’s making matters worse. Even the normally pleasant Mills is walking around arenas with a blank expression.

In the past, Dolan has frowned upon coaches being too critical of players in the press. Woodson has been taken to task for perhaps being too tough publicly on Iman Shumpert.

Friday, Woodson responded to a question about Jason Kidd’s cup-throwing incident, saying: “I can’t comment on anything these days, not right now.’’
