This holiday season, the Miracle on 34th Street may not so much have to do with Santa as it does with the impressive records being posted at the Garden. While the Rangers have put up respectable records in recent years, with the addition of Zherdev they are burning up. The bigger story, however, is the turn around the Knicks are experiencing since the departure of head coach, Isaiah Thomas. While many figured Thomas’ departure would be for the best, few expected them to get off to such a good start. With Crawford and Randolph averaging around 20 points a game as long as everyone stay healthy they seem in good shape. So far they have not hit the toughest part of their schedule, but with the Celtics only a few games away it should be interesting to see how they match up. While a season cannot be determined by the first few weeks of play, maybe Knicks fans have something to be hopeful about this holiday season. I wouldn’t be surprised if for Christmas, jerseys would be on a lot more Christmas lists.
