SEASON ON THE BRINK! #NYR

The biggest winner in all of this might be Georgetown small forward Otto Porter, who seemed like a lock to be picked no lower than 3rd now.

Palle wacks it in. Garden stunned. #NYR

Wild sequence leads to a #Bruins goal with 3:31 left. Replay please.

Hank with a terrific glove save on Seguin. Closing in on OT. 5:28 to play. #NYR

Hagelin to the dressing room a minute ago after taking a puck to the face #NYR

In his latest mock draft, Chad Ford has the Nets taking Kansas center Jeff Withey, who averaged 13.7 points, 8.5 rebounds and 3.9 blocks.

Kreider got hit in the face by Seguin's stick on the followthrough. Ouch. Fans want a penalty. Won't get one. #NYR

Tied up. Boychuk's shot finds the net. Think Thornton deflected it. #NYR #Bruins

Lundqvist with 23 saves. #NYR leads 1-0 with 20 minutes to go.

This happened in April. Vlad Guerrero bought a deuce-deuce and signed with the LI Ducks http://t.co/SEfE4s3n37

Where did that pick end up that Isiah Thomas traded away? #lotterytradition

I asked LeBron James if Roy Hibbert could deter him from driving to basket. He looked at me like I'm crazy m.nydailynews.com/sports/basketb…

#Cavaliers with a chance to put another nice piece around LeBron in 2014 #jokesbutmaybenotjokes

So now LeBron will be able to play with Nerlens Noel AND Kyrie Irving in a few years.

The Great One is here and gets a standing O from the Garden crowd #NYR

Cleveland, Orlando and Washington are the top three picks in the draft.

Pyatt now gets the goal on a deflection of the McDonagh shot. His second of the playoffs #NYR

Top three teams will be in, some order, Magic, Cavaliers and Wizards.

Wizards are the first team to jump up, move into the top three.

Same goes for the Timberwolves.

First five teams – Jazz, Mavs, Raps and Sixers, Blazers – don't move up.

#NYR is on top as McDonagh wrists one through traffic. His second of the playoffs at 3:53.

First period over. Scoreless. Without Lundqvist, that wouldn't be the case. #NYR #Bruins

So ... anyone else think the #Bruins are capable of winning the Cup? All of their skaters can score. They can play any style of game.

What's up with Dan Girardi? #NYR

#NYR #Bruins Game 3. First hockey game I've covered since Game 5 of the Cup finals in Jersey.

OH NO. Your 2013 New York #Mets everyone.

Adam Silver says there has been no discussions of who will be his deputy commissioner when he steps down.

Stern on his stepping down as commissioner next February: "Stay tuned ... I will not be inactive."

As expected, Stern swats away a question about whether the league is unhappy with small markets making up final four playoff spots.

Still no talks between NBA and union about an age limit. Adam Silver says it's something the two sides will discuss when union has a leader.

Phil Jackson says best offer came from #Nets espn.go.com/new-york/nba/s…

Watson has a player option for next season. Nets won't have his Bird Rights.

Just got off phone with CJ Watson's former agent, Jared Karnes, who says Watson switched to the Nets players' rep of choice, Excel Sports

That being said, I fully expect Dwight will re-sign with the Lakers for most money possible. He has a lot of kids to feed.

I know Dwight is talented + was hurt + yada yada. But I wouldn't touch this guy anymore. His cancer-in-the-locker-room HOF plaque is assured

I'm expecting a full list later in the day. Will provide any relevant names when I see it.

Still waiting on an official list, but former St. Bonaventure standout Demetrius Conger will be at the Nets draft combine the next two days.

trying to please everybody ..gon kill me

So who is Chris Paul going to hire?

The best way to tell what a player is made of is to look him in his eyes in the most crucial moments of a game. That'll tell you everything!

Had no idea tonight was the lottery. Times really have changed. #Nets

LeBron, a minority owner of Liverpool, might want to bring an MLS team to Miami. Once Cristiano gets a taste of South Beach. ...

Also, I'm in Miami awaiting the highest grossing basketball player in the world, LeBron James.

You're wrong if you think an NYC franchise will help the Red Bulls. They will steal players and I don't see how it can help RBNY attendance.

The Guardian lists Sheikh Mansour's net worth as 20 billion pounds, or 30 billion dollars. m.guardiannews.com/football/2011/…

Move over Mikhail Prokhorov. The richest sports owner in New York is now Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed al Nahyan. And it's not even close.

That's just disrespectful m.nydailynews.com/1.1343963

This is GREAT HOCKEY! Rangers' best players are rising to the occasion but wow do the Bruins have a ton of depth. #NYRBOS

Up late working on some Nets season wrap-up stuff that's going to start running on the blog Monday. Think you guys will enjoy it.

Here's the full piece I wrote about Lance Stephenson and Paul George praising Indiana assistant Brian Shaw: m.nypost.com/p/sports/nets/…

Absolutely terrific piece by @Matt Moore on the Knicks, Carmelo Anthony and how their system is unsustainable: cbsprt.co/1894GGT

And Danny Granger isn't Indy's best player, either. A very good player, but clear third behind Paul George and Roy Hibbert.

And he had a pretty rough couple years before this one, too. Pacers were patient and have been rewarded handsomely.

Also, please don't use the "why didn't the Knicks draft Stephenson" thing. Him being in a place like Indiana allowed this to happen.

Stephenson on Shaw: "He gives me the confidence in the game to knock down big shots.”

I should mention when I talked to Lance Stephenson, he credited his development this season to Brian Shaw. Nets expected to interview him.

And, finally, I wonder if Chris Copeland is this year's Gerald Green, a guy who signs a mini-MLE deal this summer and is quickly overpaid.

Sixth, I have no idea what J.R. Smith is going to get this summer. Will be awfully curious. But he did himself no favors with these playoffs

Fifth, I really hope Tyson Chandler was playing through injuries, because he was dreadful in this series. If not, huge issue for Knicks.

My dad wouldn't believe me when I said he wasn't. "He's really great!" my dad kept saying. Couldn't argue with him.

Fourth, my dad watched the game, never watches hoops. Late in 4th quarter, turns to me and says, "Is Stephenson their best player?"

Third, two centers were questioned for the contracts they got last summer: Brook Lopez and Roy Hibbert. Anyone questioning them now?

2nd, bizarre decisions from Woodson. Should've played Copeland more, and should've had JR sitting. He was horrible, especially defensively.

That said, couple of points about the game. First, Knicks fans complaining about refs are silly. The Knicks shot jumpers all game long.

I didn't have Internet access for the second half of the game. Reminded me how much I enjoy being on Twitter watching sports now.

" Carpe diem "

Spectacular block there by Roy Hibbert, sending Melo's dunk back directly in front of the rim. Exciting game.

#Knicks Shumpert had five points in 13 minutes. Then scores nine in 64 seconds

Just out of curiosity what is former #Knicks draft pick Andy Rautins doing right now? Lance Stephenson is leading #Pacers scoring if ya care

This double-teaming in the post by the Knicks is silly. They already can't rebound without doing that.

Referees have ruined the playoffs.

#Knicks are being outworked and outhustled. And yet they are within six. #Pacers have stunning 18-5 rebounding edge

#Pacers Lance Stephenson: 6 rebounds. Everybody wearing a #Knicks uniform: 4 rebounds

One other thing #Pacers do as well as anyone: miss free throws

Gotta admit, one thing #Pacers do better than anybody: fall down
