Five years later, we are back in the starting gate with the Knicks, waiting to see if they can shake the cobwebs off for good. Again.
Five years, 186 wins, 208 losses, one playoff series victory, three postseason series losses. It feels like it should be longer than that, feels like more water should have flowed under the bridge connecting July 1, 2015, and July 1, 2010. Certainly feels like you should be allowed to feel better about yourself as a Knicks fan after all this time.
A lot can happen in five years: Five years ago Golden State was coming off a 26-56 season and, cursed by geography to reside in the Western Conference, seemed destined to ride out another few decades of futility.
