Karl-Anthony Towns has not scored a point in the 4th quarter in the NBA Finals, even as he's had a very good series for the Knicks. His combined 4th quarter stats against the Spurs: 29.1 minutes played 0-of-6 from the field 0-of-2 on 3s 0 FT attempts

Incredible position for the Knicks -- already up 7, Towns has only scored 9 and they know Brunson can close out any close game. Will take something large from the Spurs to pull this one out. They can start with Fox making some shots.

The 49ers' offseason is over -- partly thanks to the World Cup at Levi's -- the Giants are maybe waking up too late, the Warriors are a few weeks away from a transitionary offseason, the Valkyries have interesting rotation decisions... So it's Mailbag Time. Any questions, ask away.

This is Social Media Sickness, IMO. On Aiyuk's part. On his associates' part. On Fans' part. Are the 49ers being a bit stubborn on this? Sure, but they gave the guy $30M a year not too long ago and he threw it away. So they've got the right to do this for as long as they want to.

Battle of public opinion? Where? On social media? That's meaningless in this situation, I guess unless you're Aiyuk and his associates.

If Aiyuk reports to the 49ers, they'd almost certainly cut him to avoid any chance of having to pay him. But he appears unwilling to do that. Wants to force it via social media. Which only counts if the 49ers can't stand it anymore. And apparently they can stand it.

I think Wemby & the Spurs good enough to win at least one of the next two games at Madison Square Garden to keep this series going. Biggest question (to me): How in the hell do they survive the Kornet minutes in that building? Or win the other minutes by enough?

Here's what 30 runs in the last two games can do for a very recently bottom-rung offense: The Giants' current .726 OPS now ranks eighth in MLB. Tied for 4th in SLG (.419) OBP is still bad -- .307, ranked 26th Tied for 17th in total runs (268)

The NBA says that Spurs-Knicks Game 1 averaged 16.93 million viewers. That's more than the average viewership last year for Game 7 of Pacers-Thunder (16.4 million) and its most highly-watched finals game since Game 6 of the 2019 Warriors-Raptors series.

The Valkyries are tough, smart, well-coached and have plenty of shot-makers. Probably need one more shot-creator to compete at the highest level, though. Or a true low-post scorer.

Shanahan usually talks about needing his players to stay focused during the 40-day break between the last minicamp and the start of training camp. This year, after canceling next week's minicamp, it'll be about 50 days. Says a lot about how the 49ers are approaching this season

How's the rest of the league going to deal with the Spurs' very young blooming superstar arriving faster than anybody expected? I mean Dylan Harper, of course. Oh and maybe the taller guy, too.

Was literally badgered twice by security on my way OUT of the stadium. That's unusual. Maybe FIFA style.

Shanahan's canceled 1 or 2 minicamp practices before, but I don't remember a full cancellation. Maybe Australia-related, too. One hint, scoped out by

News out of 49ers OTAs: Shanahan canceled next week's minicamp as a reward for the great attendance in the voluntary phases. I also suspect it has to do with avoiding FIFA's increasingly frantic security measures around the stadium. Next up: 1 more OTA, then training camp.

Who is only two years younger, coming off another ACL tear, and makes almost as much as Garrett. Not a close comparison to Verse. At all.

The 49ers couldn't make this trade because they have nobody like Verse to put into it. But yeah, I'm sure they weren't pleased about it.

Amplifying a point in Albert Breer's SI column: The much-questioned (including by me) selection of Ty Simpson freed up LARs to move future assets (they would've been saving to draft Stafford's successor) for a mega-win-now star like Garrett. Now Simpson's gotta work out, but the plan is niiiiice.
