This recent article in New York Magazine is a great read to understand why it is painful to be a basketball fan in New York right now. To wet your appetite, here is the first paragraph (it is a very well-written article):
In stark contrast, it's a great time to be a Laker fan!
As the Knicks wind down their seventh-straight losing season, a biblical drought of ineptitude and ill grace, all hands seem ready to bail. The owner, the cable-TV scion with the bully’s temper and sad goatee, is rarely seen in his baseline seat. The $9 million–a–year milquetoast center cannot live with the $13 million nightclubbing power forward, who in turn can’t wait to be traded. The $20 million prodigal point guard, hobbled by foot surgery and a gangrenous attitude, sits embittered in a big house in Purchase—just a full-court heave from the home of his coach and erstwhile father figure, to whom he is now dead. And that $6 million coach counts the days like a guest at Guantánamo as he waits for an older, wiser head to end his misery.
In stark contrast, it's a great time to be a Laker fan!

Yes,it's great to be a Laker Fan. Did you get to see that great game with N.O. last night? Wow, Can't wait for the play offs. Scrabble
Unfortunately, I the game wasn't broadcast here in NY. I exercised no self-control and did stay up until past 1:00 a.m. and kept up with the game online.
I'm afraid it doesn't look good for us to win the Western conference. I'm guessing we'll be the 2nd seed playing Dallas in the first round. That will be a tough match-up. Or course, the western conference is so stacked that every first-round series will be very competitive.
Ok, Sacramento coming back and defeating NOLA last night might nullify what I said earlier.
