Welcome Back! Recap!



Welcome back! It's been OVER TWO YEARS since I've posted, whoops. So, for those of you who literally only get their Knicks news from this blog, here's a quick recap of what has transpired since I last posted.



To be read as a run-on sentence:

The 2011 season ended with the Knicks being swept by the Celtics in first round and the Knicks went into the next season with Toney Douglas as their new starting point guard but he failed miserably as Amar'e and Melo struggled to co-exist but the newly acquired Tyson Chandler was outstanding and in February, Mike D'Antoni brought a no-name point guard off the end of bench during a meaningless game against the Nets, who miraculously schooled Deron Williams and suddenly took the NBA by storm (he was a no-name in figurative terms only -- he does have a name, it's Jeremy Lin), and soon after, the Knicks signed J.R. Smith who had been playing in China, but before the playoffs Lin hurt his knee and was unable to play, meanwhile Mike Woodson took over as head coach for the fired D'Antoni and the Knicks surged into the playoffs but then Amar'e angrily punched a fire extinguisher and had to miss game three but came back in game four as the Knicks won their first postseason game since 2000-01, setting off a plethora of confetti streaming from the rafters of Madison Square Garden even though they ultimately lost to the Heat in five and then last offseason the Knicks inexplicably decided not to bring back Lin and instead acquired a whole bunch of former Knicks (Raymond Felton, Kurt Thomas, Marcus Camby) along with a couple of other really old dudes (Jason Kidd and the 35-year-old rookie hailing from Argentina, Pablo Prigioni) as part of their attempt to create the oldest NBA team ever, at which they were extremely successful, but then Amar'e had surgery and was out for the start of the season yet the the Knicks still started 8-0 and then 18-5, including two blowout victories against the Heat and New York rejoiced, but then the Knicks struggled, playing the middle of the season as basically a .500 team and New York bemoaned but then late in the season they once again surged, claiming the number two seed in the East, their highest seeding since 1993-94 (when they lost in the Finals to the Houston Rockets), where they will play the Boston Celtics starting tomorrow at 3:30 p.m.



And here's that same basic story, but in picture form: 

 D'Antoni's default emotion

BFFs? Sadly, no. 

Let's have a good, clean fight.

Will he wear this shirt on the sideline for game 1? Stay tuned.
Would beat me in a fight.
