With the Knicks eliminated from the playoffs and Julius Randle probably done for the season, it can be easy to fall into the trap of taking the Knicks likely. But their first six guys can absolutely beat the Cavs if they’re not paying attention. Barrett, Fournier, Burks, etc – 12:58 PM New York Knicks @nyknicks

#Cavs coach J.B. Bickerstaff said Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley are in Cleveland doing on-court work, but he doesn’t expect them to play Sunday. As for them returning, Bickerstaff said, “I’m still hopeful that maybe one or two of the final games we’ll have both those guys back.” – 12:01 PM Joe Vardon @joevardon

#Cavs coach J.B. Bickerstaff said neither Jarrett Allen nor Evan Mobley are expected to play tomorrow against Philadelphia. He is still “hopeful” both return next week, before the end of the regular season. – 11:36 AM Ian Begley @IanBegley
Tom Thibodeau says Julius Randle will most likely be out for the rest of the season due to a nagging quad ailment: pic.twitter.com/d6FztBaOmg – 11:31 AM Ian Begley @IanBegley
Knicks say Miles McBride (sore right knee) is out today against Cleveland. Quentin Grimes (knee soreness) also remains out. Tom Thibodeau said earlier this week that he didn’t think Grimes’ soreness was a result of him returning too soon from his prior knee ailment. – 11:29 AM Cleveland Cavaliers @cavs

Knicks say Alec Burks will start at point guard today vs. Cleveland.
Can’t make this stuff up. – 11:28 AM Fred Katz @FredKatz
Before you all invade my mentions, here’s what Thibs said yesterday when asked about possibly starting Quickley.
Starting lineup w/ Burks is exactly net even point differential on the season. Foursome of Burks/RJ/Fournier/Mitch (no Randle today) is -.06 per 100 possessions. pic.twitter.com/WHm1aLxc7z – 11:25 AM Fred Katz @FredKatz

I didn’t write a word of Duke’s and Coach K’s 1985-86 media guide, but I produced it for Taylor Publishing in Dallas and came up with the idea of publishing it in hardcover so that it would also serve as a great recruiting guide.

I produced Duke’s 1985-86 media guide, came up with the idea of publishing it in hardcover. The New York Times wrote it up. Soon I was producing them for all sorts of schools. It was the first year that Coach K took Duke to the Final Four, great fun in Dallas. Ah, memories. pic.twitter.com/b7SZq3gfFM – 9:59 AM Marla Ridenour @MRidenourABJ
