The New York Knicks’ are on an eight-game winning streak that started against Utah. It had to. That’s where the 2022-23 Knicks were first insulted.
When it was clear Donovan Mitchell wanted to be a Knick and the Knicks wanted that for him, an ancient Celtic rose from the depths of Hell to do what it took to keep two interested parties apart. Danny Ainge played Montague and Capulet to our would-be lovers, whose only mistake was falling in love. Ainge playing Chief Executive Hater wasn’t entirely a shock. The man alienated half the country when he traded Isaiah Thomas out of Boston after a heroic IT postseason where he played through his sister’s murder and played through a hip injury that’d keep him out the first two and a half months the next season.
