I agree about the Timberwolves. And I think the Lakers would probably prefer to play Golden State than Minnesota, but aren’t getting what they want. Of course, I have no sympathy for them

I don’t think you’d ever want to risk missing the playoffs entirely, but, yeah, at the same time, boy, the Rockets sure do seem like a tempting team to face in the early rounds.

Good for Julius, Donte, and the Timberwolves to somehow manage to snare that sixth seed!

I’ve been thinking about the playoffs in the Western conference. The Warriors obviously wanted to win their last regular season game be sure of being in the playoffs. But if they win their first play-in game, they play Houston instead of the Lakers. That may actually be better for them.

I would also compare Rory to Greg Norman, who was every bit as talented as Rory but had his guts ripped out like Rory did yet didn’t have the resiliency to recover like Rory did today.

Here’s what I will say about Rory, who I have rooted for and been bitterly disappointed by.

I could feel his anxiety. On the unforced double bogey on #1. On maybe the absolute WORST golf shot I have ever seen by a great golfer on #13. On a shitty putt after a great shot on #15. On a lousy putt on #16 after a great tee shot. On a terrible shot on #18 after a great drive. On a shitty putt on #18 after a great bunker shot.

But with all the terrible yippy shots, he hit six of the greatest shots under monumental pressure I have ever seen. The approach on 15. The tee shot on 16. The approach on 17. The drive on 18. The second drive on 18. The approach in sudden death on 18. He could have folded at so many points in this tournament, but kept believing and grinding.

There’s a lesson for all of us in what Rory did today.

Okay, now I’m drunk. Really an epic birthday. Except alas my wife reminded me that it’s Palm Sunday. And as OG would say, congrats Rory, well deserved!

You are off by four inches Donnie.

Meant the golfer who won the Masters to complete the career grand slam today, almost blowing up in epic fashion in the process.

When you write Rory on a Knicks blog, the only thing I can come up with is Rory Sparrow. Am I close?
