Also, out of action: Me (flew home yesterday -- and landed safely after circling over Virginia for a half hour and barely avoided diverting to Harrisburg, PA). Still have some stories coming the rest of the week before vacation finally begins.

Knicks announce Josh Hart underwent a procedure to his right ring finger due to an injury sustained in the playoffs. He will resume basketball activities later in the summer. He dislocated it in the final game and it was ugly as he talked about his struggles.

Smoltz is a great announcer but raving that was the greatest clutch performance he’s ever seen — hitting middle homers off a batting practice pitcher in an almost meaningless game seems over the top.

Diawara just missed on a lob dunk that would have been the highlight of the game - lob from Kolek and Diawara athletically reached back with his left hand as he was moving full speed on the baseline. Not numbers, but he's been impressive.

LIttle different showing for Kolek -- after 1-for-13, 5 turnover game Sunday he's got 23 points in the first half, along with 4 steals and 3 assists. And would have about 7 if anyone else could shoot.
