Welp…it was fun while it lasted NY Knicks fans.
The season is over. This hurts.
I feel like we as fans came into this postseason with much more confidence than we should have had.
Yes, the Knicks beat the Hawks 3 times in a row during the regular season, but the playoffs are a whole different animal, and that Atlanta team they just faced is stacked from top to bottom.
It became very obvious, very soon into the series, that Julius Randle is not a true first option on a contending playoff team, and would be best to pair him with another star either of his same caliber or bring in a Batman to Randle’s Robin.
