Courtside Commentary

@JonHeyman @EvanPetzold Hoping for a quick recovery

Skubal will undergo surgery for loose bodies in his elbow. There’s no set timetable but it’s seen as a relatively routine surgery. Best guess: two months @EvanPetzold 1st on surgery

@MasterPShredder @JonHeyman Yeah I just saw. Unfortunate

@Courtsidecom @JonHeyman elbow

Tarik Skubal is being scratched tonight. But hope and belief is he will be OK. Seen as a precautionary move.

@KnicksCentral Dude stop doubling down. Paul George is a very good secondary option still today and was an excellent on ball defender in the last series and guarded Tatum all series.

If Paul George was not Paul George nobody would be concerned about him in a playoff series matchup The past does not matter, the present is all that counts Knicks in 5

It’s gonna be really interesting to see how much Skubal gets paid this offseason… This is such an unfortunate moment for him to have to undergo surgery.

@KnicksCentral @jackinslee I disagree with you on this one Alex. He shot 55% from 3pt range in the last series and scored a very efficient 17 pts per game. He’s also an excellent defender. Hes not close to OG, Jalen, or KAT but he’s better than Deuce McBride

@jackinslee If his name wasnt Paul George you probably wouldnt have this opinion

Top 10 players in Knicks & Sixers series, this is NOT in any order: Jalen Brunson Tyrese Maxey OG Anunoby Karl Anthony Towns VJ Edgecombe Mikal Bridges Deuce McBride Mitchell Robinson Josh Hart Joel Embiid 7 of the top 10 players are Knicks again

@KnicksCentral Fair enough hahaha

@Courtsidecom Edited 😂 forgot him my bad

@NUCLRGOLF We are including LIV Golf Adelaide but not the PGA Championship… huh?

🏌️⛳️ For the rest of your life you’re only able to watch ONE group of events…. A or B Which are you choosing…..

@elemenno_music @Mets Phillies have used Schwarbs as a leadoff guy for years and Ohtani leads off for Dodgers. Get your best hitter the most chances to impact the game.

@Mets Soto batting leadoff? lol… Mendoza is horrible

Starting IX. #LGM

@UnderdogMLB Uh oh

Tarik Skubal scratched Monday.

@KnicksCentral I’m sorry but Paul George is better than Bridges, Clarkson, and Deuce and probably Mitch too.

@FOS These guys are so annoying but I’ll definitely watch this

Exclusive: Skip Bayless is set to appear alongside Stephen A. Smith on Friday’s episode of First Take, FOS has learned. It will mark his first ESPN appearance since leaving the network in 2016.

@RealistPF @AnthonyDiComo Brazoban was a really solid reliever last year and has a 1.15 era so far this year. I think you might be the idiot that needs to sit this one out. Also, the dodgers opened with some really shitty relievers last year. Good try though buddy!

@Courtsidecom @AnthonyDiComo Brazoban is shit. Dodgers have competent players to open with. It’s really apples and oranges. Sit this one out. Mets getting swept…again.

Huascar Brazobán will be the opener for today's game in Denver, the Mets announced.

@BenStiller Knicks in 5.

KNICKS IN 6

@UofBasketball @KalshiSports @KalshiHoops Paolo needed more help

5 Intriguing Box Scores 5/3 What intrigued YOU? Presented by @KalshiSports

@RealistPF @AnthonyDiComo Yes. But you are making fun of the Mets use of openers. My point is the best team in baseball does it so why is it something to make fun of? You’re actually really stupid.

@Courtsidecom @AnthonyDiComo Dodgers are 2x defending champs… Mets are the worst team in baseball. Big difference retard. 😂🤡

@LegionHoops @BrettSiegelNBA @TheNBABase The young bucks might need the Thibs discipline

Paolo Banchero was ‘frustrated’ with Jamahl Mosley’s decision to take the ball out of his hands in late-game situations down the stretch, per @BrettSiegelNBA (h/t @TheNBABase)

@RealistPF @AnthonyDiComo The Dodgers used openers all the time last year… just for your information. They had a bigger payroll than us

@AnthonyDiComo $400m payroll btw 😂 Stearns !!!!!

@GoodFundies Yup and hopefully we can at least get Polanco healthy enough to DH. His offense could also be a huge boost.

@Courtsidecom There is absolutely a chance (if not the most likely outcome) that Bichette goes on a 130 wRC+ heater for at least a couple months between now and the end of the year. Projections say 116 wRC+ for ROS but I think that's low.

If the Mets get back into it, here's how: - Juan Soto remains otherworldly - Vientos and Baty stay hot (167 wRC+ and 135 wRC+ last 14 days) - Benge holds his own & defends like a star (103 wRC+ last 14 days) - Bichette continues to get comfortable - Melendez holds the fort
