I'm baffled by it.
I haven't really been a Knicks fan--let alone a sports fan--since I was in high school when it was Ewing, Oakley, Starks, Mason, et al. and admittedly I only got pulled back in recently during Linsanity, but even back in the day the Knicks were always underdogs against teams with similar records even when they were great. I didn't understand it then and I don't now either.
I really think the Knicks are going to win this series, and there will be a few of which I am included who will not be completely shocked.
