Jalen Brunson: C- The 29 points and seven assists will be what people see, and the box score-watchers will say he had a solid game. But anybody watching the game can tell you that he did not. Not only did he shoot just 10-26 from the field and 5-7 from the free-throw line, he took […]
There’s been a lot of emotion pouring out of the Knicks-verse after the startling fourth-quarter collapse in Game 2 that turned the series from a Knicks stranglehold to anyone’s series. While not quite as jaw-dropping as the collapse against Indiana last year, this one was more methodical. In a way, though, it’s worse because it […]

Thanks to days of debilitating back pain, I am currently either in excruciating pain regularly or doped up on a muscle relaxer that leaves me dizzier than Dean. As I watched the Knicks slowly but surely piss away last night’s game and a potential 2-0 series lead, I didn’t feel that upset. Some of that, […]

The Knicks (1-1) had this one in their hands—until they didn’t. Up eight with under six minutes to play and in control most of the night, New York fell apart down the stretch, getting outscored 28-15 in a grisly fourth-quarter collapse. A string of empty trips, an impressive performance by CJ McCollum, and a late […]

After a feel-good Game One victory on Saturday, the Knicks are set to host the Hawks again at MSG tonight in Game Two of their Eastern Conference first-round series.

Mike Brown On the team’s sacrifice and depth:“We feel like the team is deep and anybody can get going at any time. For us, it’s about sacrificing and […]
Fun fact: Jesse Itzler, who wrote “Go New York Go” is both a Knicks fan and a minority co-owner of the Hawks. Mr. Itzler must have felt some conflicted feelings as he sat down to watch the Knickerbockers host Atlanta in Game One of the Eastern Conference First Round. And it must have been a […]

Knicks. Hawks. Game 1. Let’s go! Mike Brown On focusing on the Knicks’ strengths:“Obviously, you respect what you’ve done all year. The neat part about it is we’ve faced a lot of different things.

The wait is over. The New York Knicks’ 80th campaign was a grueling 82-game marathon (83 if you count that Vegas scrimmage), but by almost every measure, it was a success. They finished 53-29, tying for the tenth-best winning percentage in franchise history; finished with a top-five offense and a top-ten defense; and claimed the […]
The 2026 New York Knicks don’t add up. Except one way they really add up. This is a team that can rip off a winning run for weeks that implies they can beat anyone, anywhere, anytime. Other times they’re less Larry O’Brien, more Larry, Curly and Moe. Last year they went 1-13 against the Thunder, […]

Upon the release of the injury report for the Atlanta Hawks’ final regular season game against the Miami Heat, two conclusions could’ve be drawn: the Hawks wanted to face the New Yorks in the first round and allow the Toronto Raptors to move into the 5-seed — or the Hawks didn’t care who they faced […]
