The Knicks take on the Los Angeles Clippers, who are a fascinating team. They’re obviously a good team, and they have two Hall of Famers in their starting rotation, but at the same time, it just seems like they have no real upside as a team, since Harden is ancient, and Kawhi is not a spring chicken, either, plus his knees are like putty (hence the Dylan lyric for the title).
And yet, they’re hanging in there with a lot of good teams, just barely losing to the Thunder in their last game. They’re well-coached (I’m no big Ty Lue fan, but he’s done a great job here), they give it their all, they’re a compelling team, even if I don’t see how they’re ever going to be better than the fourth best team in their conference.
Let’s go, Knicks!
The Dylan song is “Tin Angel,” from the album, Tempest.
Gooooo Knicks! 🧡💙
