It took the Knicks more than a third of the season last year to completely find their rhythm, so there doesn’t seem to be many reasons to nitpick over a 7-4 start that has them on an early pace to win 52 games in their second year under Tom Thibodeau.

The Knicks’ first 11 games, though, have been filled with ups, downs and puzzling inconsistency. They’ve posted impressive road wins over the Bulls, the 76ers and the defending-champion Bucks, yet suffered ugly losses at home to the Magic, Raptors and Cavaliers.

The Knicks, who face the Bucks again Wednesday night at the Garden, also barely defeated the Pelicans without Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram in late October. And they were locked in a one-point game against an undermanned Sixers team playing without stars Joel Embiid, Tobias Harris and Ben Simmons on Monday night in Philadelphia before pulling out a 103-96 victory.

“It’s only going to get better,” said Kemba Walker, whose eight points Monday night included a three-point play and a key steal late in the fourth quarter. “What are we, 10, 11 games in? It’s still so early, man.

“We’re still trying to figure each other out. But yeah, as long as we keep communicating, which we are, me and [Julius Randle], us as a team, we’ll continue to grow. That’s what it’s about.”

With two new starters this season — Walker and Evan Fournier — the ongoing adjustment period was expected, but Randle believed his chemistry with Walker and team-wide “took a step forward” in closing out Monday’s win.

“All of us [are] learning and figuring each other out and stuff like that,” added Randle, who had a game-high 31 points with 12 rebounds. “So we’ll keep building on that.”

The Knicks opened last season with a 5-6 mark through 11 games and 11-15 through 26 before closing the year on a 30-16 run to earn the No. 4 seed in the Eastern Conference for their first playoff appearance since 2013.

At least to open the new season, the East appears much deeper than it did one year ago, with seven teams already registering seven wins entering Tuesday’s action.

The Bucks opened their title defense with six losses in their first 10 games entering Tuesday’s visit to Philadelphia, where they still were without Khris Middleton (health and safety protocols), Brook Lopez (back) and Donte DiVincenzo (ankle).

Knicks centers Nerlens Noel (knee) and Mitchell Robinson (hip) were listed as questionable for Wednesday’s contest, but Walker liked how he came through Monday’s win over the Sixers after being rested the previous night against the Cavaliers.

Walker and Randle combined for several important moments late in Monday’s win over the Sixers: a 3-point jumper by the All-Star power forward, the aforementioned drive and three-point play by Walker and a Randle put-back after his Bronx-bred teammate drove the lane for a floater following a steal off Danny Green’s inbounds pass.

“I feel great, man. I’m trying to continue to feel great,” said Walker, who didn’t play in back-to-back games last season with Boston for knee maintenance. “That’s why I sat out [Sunday], which is the hardest part for athletes, in general, staying healthy. It’s hard. We play a lot of basketball. We do a lot of traveling. We play hard every single night, 82 games. So, I’m just trying to stay there.

“I’ve learned a lot. But I wouldn’t change anything for the world. I’ve had a great career. It’s been fun. I’m still going. I’m still going. I’m trying to stay as healthy as I can. The healthiest guys win games.”
