Will tonight serve as a get right game for the Nuggets as they take on a "tanking" Memphis Grizzlies team? Will we see Christian Braun build off his great performance from last game? 

0:00 - The Nuggets are playing the struggling Grizzlies tonight at Ball Arena in their last game before the All-Star Break. The goal for the Nuggets is simple.

State of the New York Knicks Podcast Episode 489 breaks down an instant classic as the Knicks outlast the Nuggets in double overtime, starting with Jalen Brunson opening the second OT by scoring the first six points and setting the tone, then revisiting the wild ending of the first overtime where New York appeared to have it sealed before a review ruled a loose-ball foul on Mikal Bridges, sending Christian Braun to the line to tie the game at 119 with 0.3 seconds left; I walk through how the Knicks responded in the second OT with an 8–0 run capped by Landry Shamet, followed by a clutch Mikal Bridges three to put it away 130–123, and why this win says so much about the toughness, composure, and growth of this team—click the links below to listen, subscribe, and talk Knicks with me.Click the links below for:

0:00 - Christian Braun came back to the lineup, but the Nuggets lost to the Pistons in Detriot. It's tough to find any consistency from the Nuggets because the lineup is constantly changing. Guys are getting healthy, other guys are getting hurt, etc. Coach Adelman is throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks. 19:42 - Of all the celebrities Vic's met at Radio Row, he met the greatest of all of them last night. He ran into none other than Mel Owens. The Golden Bachelor. Vic asked him if our very own (happily married, by the way) Marc Moser could ever become a Golden Bachelor himself.36:22 - Supposedly, Davis Webb was a candidate for a bunch of different OC jobs around the league.

Today's "Three Count" includes Garrett Bolles taking home the NFLPA Alan Page Community Award, Robert Kraft falling short of the votes needed to be a part of the 2026 NFL Hall of Fame class, and the schedule for next year's college football playoff being even later than this season's.
