Why Knicks game was delayed by bent rim that was actually straight
NY Post
Saturday’s Knicks victory was delayed for about 10 minutes because of a bent rim that was actually straight.
Apparently Mikal Bridges jump-started an early fourth quarter investigation by telling the officials the rim was askew as he was taking free throws.
The thought was that a previous dunk from OG Anunoby had shifted the metal circle.
But after an MSG worker climbed a ladder and tested the alignment with a level-line tool, the rim was determined to be regulation.
“[Mikal] was the only one who thought it was crooked,” Josh Hart said jokingly. “He has bad vision anyway so I think that’s part of it.”
It didn’t impact the Knicks, who cruised to a 143-120 victory. Bridges also hit his free throw immediately after the delay.
CLEARWATER, Fla. — Will Warren faced almost the same exact Phillies lineup Tuesday that he did in his MLB debut seven months ago.
In hindsight, there were red flags about the Daniel Jones Era with the Giants before he ever locked his eyes on a first read or ran into an injury-causing collision.
The clock is ticking on Alex Verdugo’s chances to land on a roster before Opening Day, but the ex-Yankee apparently isn’t that concerned.
The Jets are back in the quarterback market … again.
There haven’t been many Battles of New York in recent memory with as many playoff implications as the last couple games between the Rangers and Islanders.
SURPRISE, Ariz. — Jacob deGrom has 84 career wins, fewer career innings than Marcus Stroman and a shot at the Hall of Fame.
The problem is the draft picks. That’s what makes Mikal Bridges’ up-and-down season a little extra problematic. Picks are always the great unknown. Picks are an abstract. Picks can be as valuable as your imagination allows them to be before the picks are actually … well, picked, until you know for sure, tangibly, the flesh-and-blood yield.
Before the Eli Manning Era began, and only five months after Tom Coughlin had been hired, the Giants signed the perfect bridge quarterback.
