The article discusses the stark emotional contrast between the New York Knicks' performances across two seasons. Although this season's Knicks possess a better roster and record than the previous year, they face higher expectations that breed frustration among fans. While last year's team exceeded lower expectations, this year's squad struggles with perceived inconsistency, leading to disappointment despite their statistical superiority. The players and coaching staff, aware of these elevated standards, also grapple with the pressure, illustrating the impact of expectations in professional sports.
One of, and maybe the biggest, differences is the expectations. This year's Knicks are a better team... and because of that, the fans and analysts expected much more from this team right from the jump.
It’s not fair to place such high expectations on a team that many of us should have known was at least a season away from truly opening up its championship window.
