NY KNICKS BASKETBALL

The NY Knicks season has ended with Game 6 loss to Indiana Pacers. They chocked again and this time no we’ll-be-back platitudes.

This is a hurting team. They knew the season ended earlier than they wanted it to and frankly there’s no telling what the Eastern Conference will look like next year when Rajon Rondo comes back, when Derrick Rose comes back, with the Heat being turned up above comfortable temperatures.

Pacers 106, Knicks 99, and these Eastern Conference semifinals, Pacers 4, Knicks 2. Too bad!

ZODIAC CONSIDERATIONS

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Over-reaction works against you if you let anger get the best of you today. Walk away when your temper gets too riled up. A hopping social environment holds exciting romantic prospects. Do some mingling.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You aren't entirely happy about keeping a complaint to yourself today but it could be the smartest course of action, at least temporarily. When the time is right to express how you feel, you will know it.
