The New York Knicks won’t make the playoffs this season and their confidence is why it doesn’t even matter.
Some devoted readers surely think, “Okay, Josh. You’ve lost it this time. You’re getting fitted for a straightjacket and a padded room.”
Relax, people. I’m perfectly lucid and coherent. I’ll say it again; it doesn’t matter if the Knicks don’t make the postseason in 2019-20 because regardless of record, they’re shaping up to be one of the NBA’s most confident team.
Granted, this will be hard for some New Yorkers to hear. The Knicks have one playoff series win since 2001.
