Latest blog entries from New York teams across every league
Going into this one, the Wizards were riding one of their best stretches of the past several seasons. They had just beat the Bucks in Milwaukee with a CJ McCollum buzzer-beater, they’ve won four of their last seven, and three of their last four games. With a 119-99 win over the Brooklyn Nets, make that […]
According to ESPN’s Jordan Raanan, Indianapolis Colts veteran defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo is among the initial top interview candidates for the New York Giants current head coaching vacancy: “The first assignment is to find a new head coach. The Giants fired Brian Daboll almost eight weeks ago and named Mike Kafka the interim head coach,” writes Ranaan. […]

The Knicks (23*-10) return to Madison Square Garden, looking to extend their dominance over the Atlanta Hawks (16-19). This is a rematch of last Saturday’s game, which New York nearly gave away down the stretch, and marks the second of their three-game season series. This time out, we don’t expect Onyeka Okongwu to make 6-of-10 […]
The Nets opened the New Year looking more like the team we’ve grown used to in recent seasons, rather than the version we watched throughout December. They’ll be shorthanded once again… but this time the matchup is far more forgiving. On the bright side, four out of five rookies are active tonight. Enjoy! 🏀 KEY […]
The Washington Wizards face the Brooklyn Nets tonight. Tip off is at 7 p.m. ET. Watch on Monumental Sports Network.
For the fifth time in his young career, Joe Mazzulla is the Eastern Conference Coach of the Month. Mazzulla steered the Celtics to a 9-3 December, highlighted by wins over the Knicks, Raptors (twice), and Heat.

The NBA announced the Players of the Month for the Eastern and Western Conference and Boston Celtics wing Jaylen Brown was beat out by another JB, New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson. Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson have been named the Kia NBA Western and Eastern Conference […]
Happy New Year, P&Ters! After blowing a 19-point first-half lead to the San Antonio Spurs (who were without Victor Wembanyama for much of the fourth quarter) on New Year’s Eve, the Knicks (23-10) will look to bounce back by taking down the Atlanta Hawks (16-19) for the second time in about a week. The Hawks […]
After leading the New York Knicks to a 10-4 record and averaging 30.6 PPG, 7.1 APG, and 40.5% from deep, Jalen Brunson was an obvious choice for the Eastern Conference’s Kia NBA Player of the Month. Taking the honor in the Western Conference, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander averaged 31.4 ppg, 6.1 apg, 59.4 FG%. His Oklahoma City […]
Meet the Mets The Mets and Yankees are both focused on free agent Cody Bellinger, according to the New York Post’s Jon Heyman. MLB.com’s Sam Dykstra offered 26 prospect storylines to keep an eye on in 2026, and listed the Mets’ Nolan McLean as the favorite to win NL Rookie of the Year. MLB.com’s Jared […]
Amid reports that they’re looking to buy ahead of next month’s trade deadline, recent intel from both Sam Amick of The Athletic and Jake Fischer of The Stein Line suggests that the Bucks are in on Nets forward Michael Porter Jr., according to league sources. Milwaukee is “monitoring” the 27-year-old former NBA champion’s situation in […]
2025 was a fun year. The Knicks played 101 total meaningful games in 2025. They went 51-31 in regular-season games and 10-8 in the postseason. When you add in the uncounted NBA Cup Final victory, the Knicks won 62 games in 2025, one of the most in recent memory (they did win more in 2024). […]
Jets players traditionally vote for team awards the Friday before the team’s final regular season game. The biggest award is the team MVP which is named after the great Curtis Martin. This year wide receiver and return man Isaiah Williams received the honor. Going into the season finale at Buffalo on Sunday, Williams is second […]
When the replay of Victor Wembanyama hyper-extending his knee against the Knicks on New Year’s Eve was shown, I felt like the loneliest member of the “Victor will stay healthy like Kareem did” fan club. The highlight of the evening was when Victor came back out of the locker room to cheer on his teammates […]
The New York Islanders ' leading scorer is out once again. After spending 15 days out of the lineup in December, Bo Horvat returned for the last four games, but was injured again last night. He exited in the third period of Thursday's game against the Utah Mammoth. But the team is breathing a bit of a sigh of relief after the prognosis came in. It was not as bad as originally thought. Bo Horvat avoids the worst-case scenario. Out this week for sure, hopeful to be day-to-day after re-evaluation...
When it comes to the fundamental principles of my sports fandom, I really am a very simple guy. There is one basic tenet. The Golden Rule. The First Commandment. To Hell with Boston. In all sports. Then. Now. Forever. At the inevitable heat death of the universe, only my loathing of Boston sports will remain. […]

2026 is here and the Brooklyn Nets are looking to get back in the winner’s circle. They were shorthanded in last night’s matchup against the Houston Rockets and old friend Kevin Durant, and predictably got demolished by 24 points. It was their worst loss in a while, but fortunately they’re right back on the court […]
December's scouting report recaps the last two months of the series and features new prospects in Eriksen, Larsson and Fortescue.
We kicked off our Birthday series on New Year’s Day, with a virtual unknown in Charlie Devens. Today, we’re following that up with one of the better and more significant pitchers in recent Yankees history. David Cone, born 63 years ago today, pitched in 17 seasons in the big leagues, during six of which he […]
The Houston Rockets have been back to their winning ways lately, and that continued on New Year’s Day with a 120-96 victory over the Brooklyn Nets. The Rockets were lifted by some red hot shooting, hitting 57 percent of their shots as a team and 41 percent of their threes. The offensive attack was led […]
