Bursting from Twitter hibernation to announce that I and my writing partner Lauren Roedy Vaughn are now represented by the incredible @jchevais …we are excited to see where we can take this thing! @TRFNews
Magic Johnson on how special this Knicks team is:
Magic: “I don’t wanna hear no talk about Giannis, or no other player coming to this team. This is a great team. I’ve watched a lot of basketball. The way these guys love each other. Play for each other. Pull for one another. You’re not gonna see this anywhere else. The, grit, the toughness that’s how they beat you. Together.”
Stephen A: “You’re telling me, this team, as presently constructed, you wouldn’t change—”
Magic: “Nope.”
Stephen A: “Even if they don’t win the Finals, no changes?”
Magic: “You keep em together and make small changes. This team knows how to play so well with each other. And off of Brunson. Everybody is comfortable in their role. KAT could start for another team tomorrow. OG can go to another team and be a star. But he’s good to play his role. Bridges too. And Hart, no 2 guard rebounds like Josh Hart. So you’ve got the pieces, and they’re all happy.”
Stephen A: “But—”
Magic: “Now, if you trade for Giannis, how many dudes you gotta give up just to get him? It’s a different team now. The whole team changes.”
Stephen A: “That’s true.”
Magic: “This team. I love this team. I love the Knicks. They play basketball right. Don’t change.”
This is cool...always love NYC Midnight.

@michaelgbaron Stop with the nerdball, drop the iPads and get a hardnose manager in here to teach fundies. Get an old-school GM out of retirement to get a feel for the arms out there…and make decent lineup choices. Feels like Mendoza is throwing darts to pick these lineups.
@MetsGiveMeAgita I root for small-ball teams. Three true outcomes is so boring anyway. Get gritty, learn to bunt a guy home, or make contact to the right side.
You know you’re out of touch with nature when the only way you sense fall comin' around is that they brought out the Pumpkin Pie Spice coffee creamer at 7-11.
