The Knicks have been given a pass after keeping the media waiting and waiting and waiting in Miami to get into the locker room after Game 2 last Monday. Dolan's PR people kept everyone out in the American Airlines Arena hallway for 40 minutes — 30 more than is allowed, according to NBA rules — as Amar'e Stoudemire was treated for his self-inflicted hand laceration. Of course if Dolan wrote the media rules, there would be no access at all, and we wouldn't be sitting where we do now in the Garden, way up above the court. As one of his lieutenants put it, "If it were up to us, you wouldn't even be in the building!"
