The Knicks season is done. I didn't have any illusions of winning a championship this year, but I did hope they could at least win one playoff game, but it was not meant to be. A winning record and qualifying for the postseason still make this the best the team has done in a loooong time, though, so I'm not complaining; I am very happy that there's finally reason for optimism about the team's future.
