Knicks have to cash in on their ‘Miracle on Ice’ moment — or else
NY Post
There was a saying from a former Knick, coincidentally the current surging Timberwolf, Julius Randle, who declared last season after beating the lowly Wizards, “Don’t play with your food.”
Randle’s premise was easy to understand. New York needed to handle the business it was expected to. Devour what’s on the plate before it spoils.
Those words are applicable to Friday’s game, but with obvious differences in scale. The opponent isn’t the Wizards. It’s the defending champs. It isn’t a regular-season matchup in January. It’s Game 6 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, a potential clincher.
In other words, this isn’t about finishing off a mac & cheese lunch special at Sizzler. It’s a filet mignon on an island where food is otherwise rationed.

The Knicks haven’t yet asked permission to interview Jason Kidd for their vacant coaching position. But if it ever gets to that point, the expectation is the Mavericks front office will decline the request, a league source told The Post.
It seems so obvious. A team scouts a player and makes the determination to select him based on what he was able to accomplish at the college level. The thinking goes like this: He did it there and we think he can do it here, for us, at the NFL level.

The fight spilled into the crowd, and then the drinks started spilling too.
He had just delivered what was — may still be — the forever money performance in the Nets’ NBA history. Jason Kidd had played 51 minutes, 38 seconds of a 120-109 double overtime win against the Pacers, do-or-die Game 5, 2002 first round at the Meadowlands. Reggie Miller had made another of his gut-punch shots to extend the game, a 35-footer that made Tyrese Haliburton’s Game 1 prayer against the Knicks seem like a routine layup.
