Went with my dad to watch the Knicks beat the shockingly woeful Bulls and whatever one may say about Isaiah Thomas or the Knicks, there’s no question that the crowd at Madison Square Garden is light years better than anything DC has at the Verizon Center. The level of intensity and spontaneity and fan understanding of the events on the floor is off the charts. It’s easy to see why the owners want to build a new facility with more and better luxury boxes and sightlines, but they’ve got a pretty good thing going with their fanbase and their home crowd despite the crappy teams, and they’d better not screw it up.
