Being a New York Knicks’ fan is a lot like the way I feel about Game of Thrones and Mad Men this season, what’s the point? All three have been flashy at times and shown moments of greatness, but in the end have left you wondering why you really wasted your time on it.

Now, Mad Men is starting to redeem itself, Game of Thrones is too good of writing and acting to suck for an entire season, but the Knicks? They just got my hopes up for no reason and showed yet again why rooting for them has been the most frustrating thing in my life since 2000 other than women.
