New York Knicks: The Essential Knicks Offseason Survival Guide
By Eric Snyder
The New York Knicks find themselves on the outside of the NBA Playoffs. This offseason every Knicks fan must prepare if they expect to survive.
When the regular season ended for the New York Knicks, a not-so-quiet sigh emanated from the bowels of Madison Square Garden. The season began with dreams of a redemptive playoff run for the much-maligned Carmelo Anthony and Derrick Rose.
Yet, 2016-17 ended as a failure of epic proportions, even for New York. In this Shakespearean tragedy, the court jester owns the basketball team. To make things worse, the court jester seeks the assistance of the town drunk to repair his past mistakes.
However, all is not lost in NYC because the NBA offseason brings new hope for every team.
NY Knicks fans can and should have hope for what this offseason can do for the future. Phil Jackson‘s behavior may have resembled an inebriated old man, but it only takes one great offseason to repair his past.
