Nets 109, Knicks 99: “I’m just going to remember the first quarter (plus Mitch)”

I wish I had a really cool analogy or metaphor to lead in with here — I have pretty big shoes to fill with recapper extraordinaire MMiranda off tonight.

In this case, I’m accepting of the fact that I don’t have the seemingly endless and accessible-on-a-dime inventory of brilliant social, political, pop culture and literary knowledge of my brilliant co-worker that I can somehow turn into a Knicks-related thing.

And... hey! Look! I’m doing it! Kinda. Because, you see, this Knicks season has taught me to accept these many losses. Tonight was no different, really, except that it kinda stung a bit to lose…
