We’ve reached a point where you can say the Cavs and the Pistons are doing this on purpose to prevent Knicks fans from enjoying New York basketball. But hey, seven games on their legs? Can’t complain! We’re the latest four days and a few hours from the ECF Game 1 tip-off. Finally. Mike Brown On […]
Today marks five days without Knicks basketball, as a week-long wait to determine their opponent in the Eastern Conference Finals slowly draws to an end. Whether it’s tonight in Cleveland or Sunday in Detroit, the Knicks will know their opponents soon enough. But who should Knicks fans want to face with a trip to the […]
The National Basketball Association might have leaked the script for the upcoming conference finals, hasn’t it? On Thursday evening, the NBA released all possible scenarios for the Eastern and Western Conference Finals, both of which have one team already locked into the matchups—OKC Thunder in the West, New York Knicks in the East—but their opponent […]
The 2026 NBA Playoffs have a quiet day today. Only two series remain active, both of which will resume tomorrow. The San Antonio Spurs lead the Minnesota Timberwolves 3-2 in the Western Conference. The Cleveland Cavaliers lead the Detroit Pistons by the same margin in the East. Meanwhile the New York Knicks and Oklahoma City […]
The second round of the 2026 NBA Playoffs has been … interesting. On one hand, there’s been two yawner series, with the Thunder comfortably (albeit not dominantly) sweeping the short-handed Lakers, while the Knicks swept a tired, limping 76ers team in the East. On the other, you have two thrilling (but not “beautiful”) series heading […]
Jalen Brunson’s 2025 postseason run was, once again, special. Just like pretty much every other playoff appearance he’s made as a Knick, he made history, joining lists filled with names like Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Larry Bird, Kobe Bryant, and Steph Curry. Statistically, it was his second-best one, inferior only to the year prior’s, as […]
Crazy fact I found out today: It’s been six years since COVID-19 began. Now for the shocking news, it turns out it’s actually been eight years since the last time the Knicks played basketball. Would you believe that!? Here’s the latest from Tarrytown. Mike Brown On OG Anunoby’s limited participation in practice on Wednesday: “(The […]
When the Philadelphia 76ers prevailed over the Boston Celtics in impressive fashion, coming back from a 3-1 series deficit, the consensus in the NBA universe was that this series was going to be much more competitive than what you would expect from a 3-vs-7 matchup. While the overall consensus had the Knicks prevailing, there was […]
The New York Knicks are off to the Eastern Conference Finals once again after a sweep of the Philadelphia 76ers. The presence of Villanova is felt each time the Knicks step on the floor and it has been enhanced in the postseason. The Wildcat trio got to advance on the floor at Xfinity Mobile Arena, […]
When OG Anunoby missed the closing minutes of the Knicks’ game two victory over the 76ers, New York fans couldn’t help but expect bad news. After seeing the team’s playoff run suddenly come to a halt just two seasons ago when the forward strained his hamstring, PTSD started to creep in. Thankfully, by the following […]
Mikhail Prokhorov famously said that his Nets would “turn Knicks fans into Nets fans.” The Nets owner, a confirmed bachelor, also promised that if the Nets didn’t win a title in five years, he’d get married. Spoiler alert: None of those things happened. So Sam Zussman, now president of Nets parent Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment […]
The Eastern Conference bracket of the 2026 NBA Playoffs is narrowing down to an exciting conclusion. The New York Knicks already vanquished the Philadelphia 76ers in laughably easy fashion. Now the Detroit Pistons and Cleveland Cavaliers are set to meet for Game 5 of their series to see who will travel onward to face Karl-Anthony […]
Philadelphia 76ers General Manager Daryl Morey was fired today after a six-year tenure with the team. The Sixers compiled a 270-212 record under Morey, reaching the playoffs five times. They were swept by the New York Knicks in the second round of the 2026 NBA Playoffs, however. Despite the Morey firing, Philadelphia plans to retain […]
You can feel it in the air. It’s the rest-and-wait scent. Here’s the latest from across Knicks nation. Mike Brown On closing out series with composure and preparation: “Closeout games are the hardest games to play, because of the level of desperation from the other team, especially when you’re on the road and you factor […]
Just hours after Knicks fans collectively exhaled at the news that OG Anunoby had avoided a major hamstring injury, I got the opportunity to hop on a call with former Knick Danilo Gallinari. Before getting into basketball, there was one thing worth acknowledging first: Gallinari had just won a BSN (Baloncesto Superior Nacional) championship. When […]
A year ago today, the Tom Thibodeau-led Knicks led the Celtics 2-1 in their second-round series, a pleasant surprise for a team with a top-heavy rotation and a spot in East’s pecking order inarguably beneath Boston and Cleveland. The Knicks were a title contender, in that they could conceivably reach the Finals, and their superior […]
The Celtics joined the Lakers, Knicks, Cavaliers and Timberwolves in pursuing Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo before the NBA trade deadline in February, according to Shams Charania. ESPN also indicated that disappointing postseason finishes for some of those teams — Boston the only one eliminated already — could dictate pursuits this summer. The Bucks will listen […]
The New York Knicks are earning a break for themselves after a Game 4 win against the Philadelphia 76ers that completed a sweep and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals for the second year in a row. The Knicks will face off against the winner of the other Eastern Conference series between the Detroit Pistons […]
Would you believe the aftermath of a sweep is one week without the Knicks? Guess beggars can’t be choosers. Here’s the latest from Pennsylvania’s Garden. Mike Brown On why he trusted Miles McBride in OG Anunoby’s absence: “Deuce, he’s not afraid. He gives us the ability to make shots from range and or the ability […]
It was a Mother’s Day Massacre in Xfinity Mobile Arena (otherwise known as MSG East South), as the Knicks pulverized a hapless Sixers team to finish off a four-game sweep and make a second consecutive Eastern Conference Finals run. There’s a lot to analyze, but there will be no analysis in this article. Just sheer […]
The New York Knicks are headed back to the Eastern Conference Finals for the second consecutive season after completing a dominating sweep of the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday afternoon. After falling behind 2-1 against the Atlanta Hawks in the Quarterfinals, there were questions to if this current Knicks nucleus could win in the postseason and […]

If anyone is looking for a silver lining, this has only enraged Celtics fans more. The 2025-26 Sixers season has finally come to an end. They were destroyed 144-114 in Game 4 by the New York Knicks, completing the second-round series sweep. Joel Embiid looked like the only Sixer ready to unload the clip for […]
The Knicks return to Xfinity Mobile Arena tonight for Game Four of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Philadelphia 76ers, carrying a 3-0 series lead and a chance to punch their ticket to the Eastern Conference Finals. New York has controlled the matchup from the opening tip of Game One, overpowering Philadelphia with physicality, rebounding, […]
On this Mother’s Day (call your mom!), the second round of the 2026 NBA Playoffs continues with the Knicks looking to sweep the 76ers in Philly and the Spurs and Wolves dueling in Minnesota. Let’s discuss here! As with all of our game threads (and every post), be cool, be reasonable, and don’t say anything […]
