The NBA tried something with these Cup courts. I give them points for trying. Half of them are such eyesores that I really struggle to actually watch the games. Tone them down next year. No more blood red. No more piss yellow.

Someone on another thread made a great point: SNY layoffs are related to the idea there probably won’t be baseball for quite a while. Maybe the shows will resume when the sport returns?
Will always be grateful for 20 yrs doing TV that I never saw coming as long-time sportswriter. But it doesn't make today any easier, especially for the many talented colleagues at SNY more affected by the cutbacks than me. Most of all will miss the fun we had on and off the air.

Mike Breen: "Julius Randle…5 years with Knicks, 3 All-Star teams, twice All-NBA, 2021 averaged 24-10-6 and 41% from 3…one of the great individual lines in Knicks history…He deserves credit for helping start the turnaround…Randle started the Knicks back on the success route"

And yet I’m listening to @ChrisCarrino and @TimCapstraw on the radio (while watching the TV feed). As a duo, they are terrific, informative and entertaining.

💯. Always chasing potential. Always looking 5 years ahead. While the team sucks year after year. Could’ve had Coward and Acuff right now. Even after getting screwed in the lottery.

Sean Marks has single-handedly set the franchise back another 5 years after the last 2 offseasons

I have no idea how the nets expect to get out of the gutter as a rebuilding team fading athleticism and physicality to this degree I have never seen a young team like this that is less athletic than their opponent every single night

The big-picture implications of Mikel Brown Jr.’s performance were far more encouraging than the pain of another moral victory. At least I’d say. @NetsDaily netsdaily.com/nets-analysis/…

Especially on Ruocco games, I sync Chris and Capper on radio. They’re the absolute best.
Ryan Ruocco is the goat of making little skirmishes out to be way way way bigger than they actually are. Does it every time @RyanRuocco

Fire Marks @joetsai1999 Sad, lifeless, boring, pathetic team right now It feels embarrassing to be a Nets fan, the one exciting player is on some weird mins limit The vets don’t play hard at all The 2025 draft looks awful The org needs a new vision, a new voice, your GM is a con artist who’s had way too much time he’s going to have the worst resume ever for a 10+ year exec stop embarrassing us and fire him

Best tweet so far. 5 draft picks and they got NOTHING out of it. Would Demin even play for a half decent team? The other 4 are complete busts

Rest In Peace, Ross. What a great reporter, wonderful man.
Need to pay tribute to my friend and fellow scribe Ross Newhan who passed away Oct. 25 at 89. Ross was a giant in our profession especially in LA where he covered the Dodgers and Angels for 43 years. Gifted writer, dogged reporter and a kind soul. RIP
