It may be a tough pill to swallow, and a “failed season” by the NY Post’s standards, but The Knicks needed to get bounced to get better. Here are 5 things they’ve got to address this offseason.

George Hill took a nasty elbow to the brain case this week, causing him to miss Game 5 and now Game 6 tonight. He’s arguably been their best player in the series, but the NBA’s new concussion policy is preventing him front playing. Would they do the same thing if Carmelo was experiencing headaches? We examine the policy and show the play where he gets popped by Tyson Chandler after the jump.

Spike Lee offered the owner of Fuzzy’s Vodka $40,000 for his seat behind the Pacers’ bench, and was turned down. Why? Because in Indiana, Spike Lee is Voldemort. Also, because he might try and distract them with his wiener.

Welcome to The Daily Yam, bringing you the top play from the night before, anything else you might have missed, and what to look forward to today. It’s your one-stop shop when you skipped last night’s action, or have forgotten what day it is. Last night, the Knicks’ Iman Shumpert demonstrated the importance of boxing out when he dropped the putback yammer on Indiana. This is a good one, folks.

OH MY GOD THAT’S MY GIRLFRIEND! Wait, I don’t have a girlfriend. Phew! Then it’s just the funniest athlete tweet in the history Twitter sports. All the nasty details after the jump.

Correction from our previous post: J.R. was not photographed out last night, merely rumored to be out. Shame on us. And shame on J.R., if it’s true.

After the worst playoff series of his career, Carmelo Anthony and his wife Lala can finally stop picturing a nude Kevin Garnett. Hopefully. We break down the possible meanings of this photo after the jump.

Well, it didn’t take long for things to get back to normal in Boston. Celtics fans are chanting “Honey Nut Cheerios” as the Celtics play the Knicks in Game 6 of their playoff series. It’s of course directed toward Carmelo Anthony, and it’s so totally tasteless and wrong. And funny.
