Sometimes, as a Knicks fan, I feel like I can visualize the outcome of a basketball game before it’s over.
I don’t need to watch the game to see where something is going. It’s like watching the same rerun of a bad episode you’ve seen a million times. There’s no escaping the ending. It’s already set.
With 5:20 left in the fourth quarter, a Saddiq Bey putback dunk extended the Atlanta lead to seven. The Knicks called a timeout, and I was rewarded with an obnoxiously loud New Jersey Lottery commercial. No thanks. I closed my eyes.
