My brain melted yesterday, thought it was Sunday, not Thursday.
Anyway, today’s Friday. I guess.
Here’s the latest from Tarrytown as we keep hearing from different Knicks.

On Anunoby’s confidence, shooting and the Knicks’ spacing:
“His confidence is really high. And I thought during the playoffs we did a really good job of touching the paint and taking the right 3s. With OG being 6-foot-7 with long arms, if you’re closing to him with a smaller guy or a guard, it’s…
