It is funny how quickly perceptions change. Just over a month ago, the Knicks were stuck in a seemingly never-ending losing streak sandwiching the All-Star Break. All hope was lost until three wins against varying levels of competent teams graced the Knicks' record to bring back the chances at a late-season run toward a play-in berth. That, of course, didn’t last long, with a 2-4 record in the middle days of March pretty much ending New York’s odds of extending their season beyond an 82nd game.
Or did it?
No one of sane mind believed the Knicks would finish the season on a 10-0 run — that is, including their four wins in a row from March 23 to March 28 while the Atlanta Hawks and/or Charlotte Hornets close the year on the completely opposite end of the spectrum losing all of their games.
