This week, I became friends with J.R. Wilco of Pounding the Rock. It’s a strange relationship. We enjoy each other’s banter, and he’s a thoroughly likable dude, yet at the same time, I want the thing I love to destroy the thing he loves—and vice versa. There’s probably a Marvel movie logline in there somewhere. […]

Waived by the Spurs midway through the season and later signed by the Knicks, Sochan has been used sparingly by New York. Yet thanks to […]

Before Tuesday afternoon’s media day kicked off, one name was glaringly omitted from the media availability list. As some had suspected, Mitchell Robinson wasn’t going to be fielding questions from reporters. That isn’t necessarily indicative of anything, and shouldn’t be categorized as good, or bad news.

Can Wednesday come soon enough? No, it seems it cannot. Here’s the latest from Sunday’s practice at Tarrytown and elsewhere.
