Sometimes I wonder what it’s like to root for a structurally sound winning team. I mean, not just a team that might end up with 42+ wins this season; a team that’s pretty much guaranteed a stable course of 45+ wins in the next three years, with a hopeful peak of 55+ and a Conference Finals appearance at worst. I’m an NBA fan since 1994, and a Knicks fan since 2008 (but was rooting for them here and there, nost notably in the 1999 finals – I’m a sucker for underdogs). In that span, I saw many contenders come and go.
