WEEKLY RECAP: THJ TIME! HARDWAY CONTINUES TO LEAD NYK, YANKS SAY GOODBYE TO CC, AND MORE!

Tim Hardway JR , has continued to light up the stat sheet for the Knicks propelling them to a 2-1 week, to improve to 3-6 on the season.

After dismantling the Nets, the Knicks , took a tough 107-101 loss to Victor Oladipo and the Indiana Pacers at MSG.

Despite the loss, THJ put up 37 points, engendering the porsingez-less Knicks offense.

On Friday night, the THJ spread the ball around, as Alonzo Treier poured in 23 points, and a Mitchell Robinson went beast mode including an incredible dunk ,as the Knicks pushed away the Mavericks 118-106.

As for the Brooklyn Nets, they were still able to show their potential, for years to come , as they rebounded after losing to the Knicks , they pulled out an epic 120-119 victory of the Detroit Pistons at Barclays center , before putting a scare into the Houston Rockets in a 119-11 loss.

Carlos Levert has continued to star for Brooklyn , while Denangalo Russel has slumped for the 3-6 Nets

NBA

Best : Warriors 9-1( 7 game win streak )

Worst Cavs 1-8, they won their first game against the Hawks , but have lost two in a row since .

NHL :

The New York Rangers , have finally won two in a row , including two shootout wins in a row, against the Sharks (4-3), and the Ducks (3-2). The Rangers (5-7-1)will return home on Sunday , to take on the Buffalo Sabers (7-5-2), at MSG.

The Islanders , have been red hot as of late , sweeping the home and home against the Pittsburgh Penguins (6-3,3-2), before steamrolling last the New Jersey Deviles 3-0, at Barclays center .

The isles are now 8-4-1, and currently sit in first place in the Metropolitan division, after 5 straight wins .

Best : Nashville Predators 10-3

Worst : Los Angeles Kings 3-8-1

MLB:

The Yankees can still obtain JA Happ, Lance Lyyn , David Robertson, Zach Brittion, Andrew Mccutchen, And Adeiny Hechavarria.

However, they will probably be saying Sioniara to veteran lefty Cc Sabathia ,and backup first baseman Neil Walker , as no qualifying offer was made from the Yankees, nor did the players speak to the Yankees management about returning.

I will be surprised if these two guys do comeback .

The Yankees claimed second baseman Hanser Alberto off waivers on Friday from the Texas Rangers.

Alberto is 25 years old and didn’t really get a shot last season, my guess is that he will serve as a 2nd or 3rd string 2B, if he beats out Torreyes , then second, if not then 3rd.

He will be 26 by next season,

Projection: He will beat out Torreyes, and will probably will start at 2B, if the Yanks don’t find a shortstop to replace Didi, in that situation, Gleyber would move to short .

However , i do think they will find a SS , it’s just a matter of who?
