how low can they go?

In the last home game of a season that was so awful that it shocked even the most jaded and cynical basketball observers, the Knicks have hit a new low. The hit 13th, to be exact.

On the nytimes.com sports home page, last night's Knicks game—a loss to the expansion Bobcats—is the 13th story. The Times editors deemed the game less newsworthy than articles about NCAA scholarship requirements and Sidney Crosby of the Pittsburgh Penguins. This in a city where the Knicks are probably the second or third mose revered franchise, after the Yankees and arguably the Mets.

Way to go, Isiah! First you transformed the Knicks from mediocrity to a fascinating mess, and then things got even worse: now the team is completely irrelevant.
