I was fully aware of what the Knicks were playing for long before a little message popped up in my timeline reminding me about it.
“The Knicks [are] one win away from their first Eastern Conference finals appearance since 2000.”
Since 2000. How crazy is that? Not crazier than the fact that New York was this close to making it to the ECF 11 years ago... when a certain Roy Hibbert, member of the Indiana Pacers of all teams, did deny them.
Not crazier than the fact that New York booked a trip to the ECF for one last time exactly 24 years ago.
