STILL PLENTY TO WORRY ABOUT WITH COLE, THE SPRING OF BORAS CONTINUES & SIMON REMAINS A GIANT OF OUR CITY …

Maybe the next time the Knicks lose a couple of games in a row, Coach Pitino can tell them they stink. l Everybody is glad that Gerrit Cole doesn’t need Tommy John surgery.

Everybody is happy that Cole isn’t going to be lost for the season because of his elbow issues, as the latest diagnosis from Dr. Neal ElAttrache indicates.

But everybody ought to pump the brakes on spiking the ball, even if it’s a baseball.

It’s fine to wish and hope he’ll be back in a couple of months, because this is a time of magical thinking for Yankee fans now that surgery has been taken off the table.

But how many times have we been told that rest and non-surgical treatment was going to get the job done with a pitcher?

● It continues to astound me how out of touch the PGA Tour is with where it actually fits in sports’ ecosystem. Listen, I love golf.

I have my whole life and still love playing it.

But the people in charge of the Tour — and they know who they are — and the players themselves continue to act like they’re the NFL. They’re not. l If it doesn’t work out with Rodgers, who’s the next running-mate call for RFK Jr. — Elvis?

● Only the great Larry David could get Lori Loughlin to come on “Curb Your Enthusiasm” and make fun of herself the way she did last Sunday night.

● This is Tom Thibodeau’s best coaching job with the Knicks.

● If you read the sports section — and you know me, I try to keep up — you still get the idea that the world is going to stop spinning on its axis any day now if Scottie Boras doesn’t find work soon for his unsigned clients.

But this much is guaranteed: When guys like Blake Snell and Jordan Montgomery do end up with new teams, whatever those teams are and whatever the contract terms are, Boras will act as if it was all part of his master plan.

And if they don’t get jobs soon, the rest of us will start to think it’s our fault.

l It will be interesting to see if the Orioles, with a boatload of young talent, will be able to do it again.

● If you saw Paul Simon on “The Late Show” with Stephen Colbert this week, how could you not download his latest work, “Seven Psalms,” as soon as the show was over?

First he gave a master class on his creative process, then he picked up a guitar and sang, and it all made for a pretty wonderful hour of television.

Paul Simon, at 82, remains a giant of his craft, and of our city.

Just one more time, I want to see him give a big, big-city concert.

Maybe in Central Park. Wouldn’t that be a night?
