You've spent a year studying the odds. Odds, schmodds. It all comes down to karma.
May 19th is, for Knick fans, a blind date/arranged marriage/Judgment Day turducken. No one knows what pick the team will land in this year's NBA draft lottery - the Knicks could end up anywhere from first through sixth - but once we do, finality and future begin to merge and all the debates over tanking will finally have a face to praise or damn...even if that face doesn't appear for another five weeks.
But time...faces...turduckens...these are the things of man. And the things of man matter not to the basketball gods.
