The New York Knicks lost a grand total of 65 games during the 2018-19 NBA season. It was historic losing for a once proud franchise except that after each defeat someone — the head coach, the front office and occasionally even the owner — would tell anyone who would listen not to worry.

Well, that moment arrived on Sunday and the Knicks, who have experienced unprecedented failure over the last two decades, suffered one of the biggest defeats in franchise history. Free agents Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant are coming to New York to play together for the Brooklyn Nets. Repeat that and remind yourself that the so-called other team in town detonated the Knicks’ free agent plans over a couple of incredible hours on June 30th. The Nets essentially played the role of Lucy as she pulls the football away from the Knicks’ Charlie Brown as he’s about to kick it.



Never before has...
