This Knicks accomplishment shouldn’t be dismissed
NY Post
There will be enough time to obsess over the things the Knicks don’t have, and why they don’t do well. Bank on that. There will be acres of space and hours of conversation devoted to the vast chasm between where the Knicks are and where they want to be — and, perhaps more tellingly, where they were expected to be. That’s coming, don’t worry.
Maybe today, just this once, can be devoted to something else.
Maybe today we can take a few moments to commemorate the fact that the Knicks have reached 50 wins for a second straight year, thanks to the 112-98 beating they laid upon the Kevin Durant-free Suns Sunday night at Madison Square Garden. I get it: We’re New York. We’re tough graders. We don’t use a curve. We are hungry for championships. Fifty wins is a regular-season accomplishment. What was it the man once said? There are no medals for trying?
There’s no parades for 50-win basketball seasons, for 100-win baseball seasons, for 12-win football seasons (remember those?!), for 100-point hockey seasons. What matters is what comes after. What matters is taking that success in the drudgery of a regular season and translating it to the drama of a postseason.
