The Knicks got the win over Cleveland — but let’s not act like they didn’t almost give it away again. It’s the same story we’ve been seeing for years. In February 2022, they blew four double-digit leads in a single month. Then came Miami in 2023. Then Indiana in the playoffs last year — up 14 with under three minutes left, and still lost. At some point, it’s not bad luck. It’s who they are.

I also get into Draymond Green — because the numbers prove he’s not even close to being the league’s dirtiest player, no matter what people say. His villain label? Pure fabrication.

And to close it out — Lincoln Riley and Brian Kelly are officially running out of rope with their awful records against ranked opponents. Meanwhile, Curt Cignetti’s doing more with less at Indiana, showing that money and hype don’t always equal saw.
