You know the New York Knicks’ season has gone off the rails when the New York Jets‘ exploits are being invoked.
After last season’s resurgence, which saw them earn their best win tally and playoff appearance since 2013, the Knicks (22-24) currently sit on the outside of the NBA’s playoff picture.
They currently sit 4.5 games out of the Eastern Conference’s last playoff spot and a half-game behind the Boston Celtics for the four-team play-in tournament for the final two spots. Their latest loss became Jets-esque, as a blunder in the first quarter reminded Walt “Clyde” Frazier of one of the most infamous moments in Gang Green history.
