Here… Come… The Brooms! Mike Brown On OG Anunoby’s status heading into Game 4: “He’s still day-to-day. I had not followed up to ask any specifics. I just wanna let them know, ‘OK, when’s he gonna be ready to play?’ It’s all medical-related and it starts with [the training and medical staff]. All I want […]
Keep the broom handy. The Knicks will face the 76ers on Mother’s Day in Game Four of the Eastern Conference semifinals at Xfinity Mobile Arena. New York holds a commanding 3-0 series lead and sits one win away from a second straight trip to the Eastern Conference Finals. The Sixers, meanwhile, are desperate to extend […]
That was a tough one. After a closely fought Game 2 without Joel Embiid, Game 3 felt like it was going to be a solid chance for the Sixers to get their first win of the series in his return. OG Anunoby, who’s been excellent all around in these playoffs, being sidelined with a hamstring […]
We all know what the problems are for the Sixers against the Knicks and we all know they can’t be fixed during this series. After losses in Games 2 and 3 against New York, we can no longer simply point to the sub-48-hour turnaround from the first round to the second round as a reason […]

With each passing day, there’s only one thing that crosses my mind whenever I think about the Knicks. What the hell happened in the locker room after Game 3 in Atlanta? The Knicks have won six consecutive playoff games. That hasn’t happened since 1999. They’ve never won seven in a row, which they’ll look to […]
Is it going to be a sweep? It is going to be a sweep! Here’s the latest after a delightful Game 3! Mike Brown On Philadelphia’s strong start to Game 3: “They jumped out and they kind of punched us in the mouth to start the game. Our guys settled down and they figured it […]
The Knicks silenced the doubters on Friday night, defeating the 76ers 109-94 to take a commanding 3-0 series lead and move within one win of the Eastern Conference Finals. Even with the return of Joel Embiid, Philadelphia had no answers for New York’s talent and depth. The Knicks weathered an early 12-point deficit, dominated the […]

Ready for a curveball? The latest NBA Mock Draft from Yahoo Sports’ Kevin O’Connor not only has Malachi Moreno going in the first round, but even ahead of Jayden Quaintance. Yes, this projection has Moreno going 24th overall to the New York Knicks, while Quaintance goes 29th to the Cleveland Cavaliers, nearly falling out of […]
Fitting with the day-to-day designation he was given, the Sixers injury report lists Joel Embiid (ankle sprain, hip soreness) as questionable for Friday’s Game 3 of their second round series against the Knicks. With Philly down 2-0 in the series to New York, things shift to South Philadelphia for Games 3 and 4 this weekend. […]
Tonight, the Knicks (2-0) visit the Philadelphia 76ers (0-2) at Xfinity Mobile Arena for Game Three of the Eastern Conference semifinals. It’s a chance for New York to take a commanding 3-0 lead on the road, but it won’t come easy. Although ESPN.com etting sites peg the Sixers as slight favorites at home. That’s mainly […]

The New York Knicks will be without star forward OG Anunoby for Game 3 of their series against the Philadelphia 76ers with a hamstring strain. The news comes after Anunoby scored 24 points in a 108-102 win in Game 2 at Madison Square Garden. Anunoby has been a key factor in the series so far […]
The New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers will resume their best-of-seven Eastern Conference NBA Playoffs series this evening. New York leads the series 2-0 but there’s some doubt whether OG Anunoby will suit up for them in Game 3 due to a hamstring strain. On the other side of The Association, Minnesota Timberwolves will tangle […]
I enter tonight’s game more calm and serene than any other game this postseason. And I don’t particularly think I’m the only Knicks fan who feels that way. For many, the last 36 hours involved being an involuntary passenger on a roller coaster ride of emotions. After seeing the Knicks win an ugly and gritty […]
After two losses at Madison Square Garden, the Sixers return home for the first time in over a week facing another two-game deficit in a best-of-seven series against one of their rivals. This time it’s a 2-0 hole against the New York Knicks, a series deficit Philly has never been able to dig out of […]
Staring down the possibility of a 3-0 series deficit, the 76ers return home to South Philadelphia to host the New York Knicks for Games 3 and 4 of their second-round playoff series. The Sixers trail the Knicks 2-0 in the series thus far after dropping the first two games at Madison Square Garden. Game 1 […]
There aren’t a lot of things to complain about through two games of a series where you’ve won both games, especially in the ways the Knicks have won them. But there was a somber feeling after the gritty Game 2 victory at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night because of the unknown status of OG […]
Throughout the first two games of this series the Knicks have been able to slow down the Sixers’ offense in a way they really hadn’t experienced in their first-round series against Boston. On top of the 4-of-19 shooting performance that sunk them in the fourth quarter of Game 2, they’ve really struggled to take care […]
Monday night, the Knicks won by TKO. Last night, they won on points. Tomorrow night, they may have to fight with one arm tied behind their back. While the absence of Joel Embiid for any extended time dooms any chance the 76ers have of winning this series, his absence in Game 2 was an ironic […]
Mitch was ill, Embiid was sore, and the Sixers are growing sour. New York swept the home half of their second-round series, and it’s now time to do the same, only a few miles out southwest. Here’s the latest from a delightful Game 2 victory. Mike Brown On Anunoby’s injury: “I haven’t talked to anybody. […]

To quote SwissCheez, “another no call, surprising.” And Knicksyism: “No foul…” And rcnt123: “No matter who wins, this is such a piss-poor reffed game.” Excessive complaining about lopsided officiating is generally considered uncouth, especially if your team wins. Hence, we apologize for what follows. New York made history on Monday. In defeating Philadelphia by 39 […]
NEW YORK — Shooting 4-of-19 from the field in the fourth quarter isn’t going to get it done. The Sixers ran out of steam, falling 108-102 to the New York Knicks in Game 2, falling to an 2-0 series deficit. Tyrese Maxey started the game great as a scorer but struggled taking care of the […]
