There shall be sufficient time to obsess over the issues the Knicks don’t have, and why they don’t do nicely. Financial institution on that. There shall be acres of house and hours of dialog dedicated to the huge chasm between the place the Knicks are and the place they need to be — and, maybe extra tellingly, the place they had been anticipated to be. That’s coming, don’t fear.
Possibly in the present day, simply this as soon as, could be dedicated to one thing else.
Possibly in the present day we are able to take just a few moments to commemorate the truth that the Knicks have reached 50 wins for a second straight 12 months, due to the 112-98 beating they laid upon the Kevin Durant-free Suns Sunday night time at Madison Sq. Backyard. I get it: We’re New York. We’re powerful graders. We don’t use a curve. We’re hungry for championships. Fifty wins is a regular-season accomplishment. What was it the person as soon as mentioned? There are not any medals for attempting?
There’s no parades for 50-win basketball seasons, for 100-win baseball seasons, for 12-win soccer seasons (bear in mind these?!), for 100-point hockey seasons. What issues is what comes after. What issues is taking that success within the drudgery of an everyday season and translating it to the drama of a postseason.
