Five. What a concept. Most people have five fingers and toes. Tornadoes and hurricanes go up to five, at least so far. Some people claim to have more sense than that, but there, too, five is a popular destination. There are five Home Alone movies and five House Party flicks. The two greatest Davids in Mets history both wore the number. This past season, the New York Knicks played five playoff games.
It is perhaps entirely appropriate in this weird-ass money-grab of a season that the Knicks losing in the first round in five games is both an accomplishment no one could have predicated while also being a disappointment.
