Coping with Seasonal Knicks Disorder

It was inevitable, really. The post-Thanksgiving, pre-Christmas emotional reckoning of something I like to call Seasonal Knicks Disorder. It’s that delightful chunk of the season when Knick fans everywhere begin to break up with the expectation of wins and losses as a marker for success. We’ve been through the preseason hope and intrigue, sat through 20-odd games of trying to rationalize the on-court product, and now we embark on a period of emotional turmoil where we oscillate between anger and apathy towards the Orange and Blue, before eventually committing to the psychological safe house of capital-T Tanking from January onwards.
