ME: The 2021 Knicks are not like the 2020 Knicks. (gestures to crowd)
CROWD (in unison): How are the 2021 Knicks not like the 2020 Knicks?
ME: I’ll show you.
1) These Knicks are better.
BY THE NUMBERS: Last year after 37 games, David Fizdale’s Pearl Harbor plus Mike Miller’s Coral Sea were 10-27. At the All-Star break they stood 17-38. Tom Thibodeau’s Midway marauders are 19-18 as the league finally takes a breath — not so the players can take a much-needed break, but so a business that earns $4-9B annually can fly workers from all corners of the country to one centralized location during a pandemic for a glorified scrimmage the players clearly don’t care about.
