Did you really expect that just this one time that the ball would bounce the right way for the Knicks, that nearly two decades of bad breaks, bad planning and just bad basketball would be suddenly erased in one night?
OK, maybe you did. Maybe dreaming of Zion Williamson is the only way you could have made it through the Knicks' 17-win season. On those long nights when it felt like the Knicks were shooting 14 percent with a bunch of young players no one has ever head of, it seemed more like symmetry than self-delusion to pin all your hopes on their 14-percent chance of ending up with the No.
