NBA Finals Game 7 - bad old memories

Thiw was a pretty fun article about some famous NBA Finals Game 7’s.

Unfortunately, it brought back some really bad memories - especially this photo:

There were some other absolutely awful Knicks games I recall watching back when Patrick Ewing was still on the team.

There was the infamous Reggie Miller from half court one.

There was the one where the shot clocks broke and they had to put them on the floor.

There was the one where everyone in NY started putting up blue and orange “I BELIEVE” signs - and then the Knicks choked at the end. Oh wait, that was -every- critical game!

Ah… the bad old days.
