On Wednesday, the New York Knicks (31-42) treated us to one of the most enjoyable games of the year, replete with youthful pace, passing, and record-breaking in their defeat of the Hornets, 121-106. You would be forgiven for feeling a hint of melancholy amidst the post-game glow and wistfully dreaming of what the season could have been had certain changes come sooner.
The off-season will provide much more time for hindsight. With nine games left, our heroes jet to Miami to face the Heat (47-26) this Friday. This will be the third and final meeting of their season series, in which Miami leads 2-0.
