The hour was growing late, the Knicks had just closed the first half by giving up a 42-22 run to the 76ers, and I really wanted a gyro. When watching the 2016-17 Knickerbockers, it is imperative to treat yourself whenever you can. My favorite takeout place closes at 10 PM, so I didn’t have time to wait to finish the game and the postgame thread — I had to go at halftime.
And I have a confession to make, Knicks fans: I very much considered eating in that restaurant and missing much of the second half. Takeout is fine and all, but I ordered french fries, and didn’t want to risk the fries getting soggy.
