*THIS EPISODE IS AUDIO ONLY*This was a bad loss. How much do we actually take from it? Everything or nothing? The Knicks are banged up, they have seemed a bit off since Vegas, but they did have a day off yesterday and came out flat in the first game of a back-to-back. Not great.

The Yankees need pitching now, not patience. Fried is the only real rotation lock, while everybody else comes with questions in their own way.

Didn't always look good (God, no), but Brown adjusted, trusted his guys, and left his comfort zone (what do ya know?).

The Knicks survived a wild first quarter, then clamped down and held the Raptors to 13 points in the second to take over the game.
