It’s over
The 2022-23 exceeded most pre-season expectations and turned in the best campaign the MSG faithful have seen in a decade. But you know what they say about all good things coming to an end. The Knicks ran into a better team in the Miami Heat, even if the regular season didn’t bear that out. The Heat have a Hall of Fame-level coach, and were the deeper squad. Never was that more apparent than in Game 6, when Miami easily withstood a first-quarter charge and took control of the game.
Man, did things look up in that first quarter when the Knicks jumped out to a 31-17 lead. But the Heat didn’t even blink, erasing that deficit in only a few minutes. New York’s second unit, which was horrific throughout the series, collapsed utterly. The starters managed to keep the game close thanks to the heroics of Jalen Brunson, who led the charge with 41 points. The Knicks had a chance in the final minute thanks to a Heat flagrant foul, but a double-teamed Brunson turned the ball over, and that was all she wrote.
The non-Brunson starters were dreadful:
Julius Randle: 3-14 shooting
RJ Barrett: 1-10 shooting
Quentin Grimes: 1-6 shooting
And so the season is over.
Miranda will have the recap later. I’m sorry, folks.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the NBA's Bird Rights?
"Bird rights", as used in the NBA, is a rule that allows certain NBA players to be resigned by their current club for more money. This rule is named for Larry Bird, former Boston Celtics basketball player. The rule states that a team can exceed their salary cap limit to re-sign a player if they have had that player on their roster for at least three years. Bird rights allow players who are not currently with the team to retain their status and earn a higher salary than what they would get from any other teams.
What is a NBA hybrid contract?
In the NBA, teams can offer higher salaries to players through a hybrid contract. The salary of these contracts is partially counted against the team's maximum salary and the rest is paid to the player directly as a bonus. This allows teams offer higher salaries while maintaining compliance with league salary limits. The players are more likely to choose to sign with specific teams because they will be able make significantly more than they would otherwise.
What is the difference in a technical foul from a flagrant offense in the NBA basketball?
A technical foul in the NBA is a penalty for unsportsmanlike behaviour, such as arguing with officials or excessive celebration. A technical foul results in one free throw attempt, and the opposing team will also receive possession of the ball.
A flagrant foul refers to a player who makes abusive or violent contact against another player. This results in the loss of possession of the ball and two free throws for the opposing team. There are two levels of flagrant fouls--Flagrant one and Flagrant two. Flagrant one, which is less severe than Flagrant 2, does not result in an expulsion from the game.
Any illegal contact between two players is a personal foul. This is typically a result of illegal hand-checking and holding, pushing, pushing or tripping an opponent. Personal fouls can also result in free throw attempts and possession of the ball for the opposing team. Personal fouls don't necessarily indicate unsportsmanlike behaviour, but they are different from technical fouls or flagrant fouls.
In the NBA, all fouls can result in free throw attempts or possession of the ball for the opposing team. The difference between a technical foul and a flagrant or personal foul lies in the intent behind them and the severity of contact committed.

Players may also be eligible for bonuses and other incentives based on their performance or team success.
What is an exception to the NBA trade policy?
A trade exception in the NBA is an allowance for teams to trade away a player. This exception allows teams the opportunity to acquire players whose salaries exceed those of the players they have traded away, without having to make corresponding salary moves. This exception can be used by a team for multiple seasons and does not count towards their salary cap. Trade exceptions allow teams to change their rosters and not have to reduce their salaries. This allows teams to maintain a level playing field and prevent unfair financial advantage situations.
It helps the league stay financially stable and allows teams to make changes without worrying about not being able to pay. Trade exceptions are an integral part roster construction in NBA. They can be used to help teams fight for championships.
