First of all: sorry about the game thread. I was stuck in Tysons Corner Mall — a.k.a. the seventh circle of hell — and forgot to hit ‘publish’ on my phone.
Anyway...did you watch the Knicks Friday night? If so, I hope you stopped at halftime. The ‘Bockers looked like world-beaters against the woeful Atlanta Hawks over the first 24 minutes, with Kevin Knox chipping in 21 points (17 in the first quarter!) and Emmanuel Mudiay backing him up with 17. It was a splendid display.
But these aren’t your father’s 2018-19 Knicks, the ones with a 2-0 record against Atlanta coming into Friday night.
