The NBA play-in tournament is just over a month away, making every game count. With that, we’ve decided to give you, the fans, a watching guide. We’ll keep this post updated as much as possible, so you know exactly which non-Knicks team you should be rooting for and against going forward, with a deep postseason […]
Say, whatever happened to those Knicks that were a disgrace to basketball during a 2-9 stretch, which saw them play some of the worst defense the NBA has ever seen? Wait, what do you mean that team has now been the best defense in basketball for six weeks? It’s been a weird year. The Knicks […]

The Knicks have won seven of their last ten games, while the Lakers are six and four over the same span. This game marks their second and final matchup of the season. When they last met on February 1, The […]
The Spurs are having arguably their best stretch of the season, following a win against the Clippers in their return home from the Rodeo Road Trip. San Antonio has only dropped one of their last 15 games, and it was to the Knicks, another contender that is firing on all cylinders. The success has been […]
Greetings from Brooklyn, NY, where your intrepid reporter and family are visiting his stepson in beautiful Bensonhurst. Also on the road: the New York Knicks! Our heroes kicked off their five-game road trip with a merciless slaughter of the Nuggets in Denver on Friday night. This week they continue to earn their frequent flyer miles […]
It looked like New York was in for a tough and long one in Denver on Friday… …until it was not, as the Knicks put on a show and trounced the Nuggets a few miles away from South Park. Here’s a bunch of quotes from all of our folks. Mike Brown On the team still […]
On Thursday, the Nuggets (39-25) played a hard-fought game against the Lakers. The after-effects were apparent tonight, as they were far more winded than the visiting Knicks (41*-23). Add to their woes a Jamal Murray injury in the first half and a scorching performance by OG Anunoby, and the Nuggets were waving a white flag […]
The Knicks (40*-23) will be at Ball Arena tonight to face the Nuggets (39-24), hoping to complete a season sweep. Denver boasts the league’s most potent offense—first in offensive rating, scoring, and shooting efficiency—led by Nikola Jokić and Jamal Murray, who’s been on a scoring tear. New York has ratcheted up their defense of late, […]
One down, six to go in the hardest stretch of games the Nuggets will play all season. After holding off a late rally by the Los…

While the Knicks have enjoyed a nice little 15-5 stretch that has seen their defensive rating jump into the top 10, and come away with victories against some good teams like the Spurs, Raptors, Rockets, Celtics, Lakers, and Nuggets, everyone knows that much of the Knicks’ postseason success rides on the availability of their backup […]
Lace up your hiking boots! Tonight the Knicks (40*-23) scale the mountains of Denver to face the Nuggets (39-24) at Ball Arena. New York plans to leave with a season sweep in this cross-conference matchup. Our heroes have won six of their last ten games on the schedule, while Denver have split their last ten. […]
Karl-Anthony Towns is an enigma, a polarizing figure, and also happens to hold the keys to just how good the Knicks can be this season. KAT possesses a rare combination of talent and size that is matched by only a handful of basketball players in the world, and on many a night, we see plenty […]
Jayson Tatum last played for the Boston Celtics 298 days ago, when his 42-point playoff masterpiece against the New York Knicks preceded what would become a nine-plus-month rehabilitation from a torn right Achilles tendon. Since then, he has worked to recover from surgery, regain strength, and progress through multiple 5-on-5 workouts in preparation for his […]
The Toronto Raptors, by just about any measure, are enjoying a highly successful season. At 35-26, they’ve surpassed all reasonable expectations for a team that picked up just 30 wins last year. They have two All-Stars, and are well on their way to a playoff appearance. And yet, Tuesday’s loss to the New York Knicks […]
If that was a Finals preview, I can only hope they started yesterday. The Knicks played tough and gave OKC fits on Wednesday—with Mitch Robinson load-managing—and showed what they can do when they put on their competitive suit. Here is the latest quoteboard. Mike Brown On liking the team’s competitive spirit vs. OKC: “I liked […]
The New York Knicks (40*-23) hosted the Oklahoma City Thunder (44-19) at Madison Square Garden tonight in a tight, uneven game played with tired legs. Both teams were on the second night of back-to-backs, and the fatigue showed at the end of this workout. The Thunder controlled the first half behind Chet Holmgren’s hot shooting, […]
The New York Knicks (40*-22) host the Oklahoma City Thunder (48–15) tonight at MSG, with both teams playing the second night of a back-to-back after wins.

The Knicks decided they’d rather beat the in-conference Raptors than gamble on a win over the Thunder. Coach Brown used Mitch against Toronto, keeping him under wraps for the what-if matchup against the reigning champions. As KAT said, “Count your eggs.” Mike Brown On hanging defensively in a low-scoring third quarter against Toronto: “We came […]
The New York Knicks (40*-22) host the Oklahoma City Thunder (48–15) tonight at Madison Square Garden, both on the second night of back-to-backs. Yesterday in Toronto, the Knicks fought the Raptors to the end for victory, while the Thunder beat the Bulls in Chicago. Both teams have won three in a row. They last met […]
When Mike Brown was hired as the new honcho in July, it was abundantly clear that the Knicks would fundamentally change their offensive identity. And while the team has been pretty similar to last season in terms of offensive rating, efficiency, and their overall standing in the league, there’s one thing that’s been different: three-point […]
As of tonight, the Toronto Raptors have officially lost their twelfth consecutive game to the New York Knicks, continuing a disheartening pattern begun in 2023. Brandon Ingram’s 31 wasn’t enough to outscore the top dogs of the Atlantic Division, as the Knicks hammered Toronto for a 111-95 loss. It’s fitting for New York to have […]
Like numbers? Check these out. Tonight the Knicks (40*-22) outshot the Raptors (35-26) 56% to 45%, piled up 32 assists on 46 baskets, and dominated the glass 44–28. This marked their third consecutive game with all five starters scoring in double figures, and the 11th time in their last 19 games they’ve held an opponent […]
The Knicks (39*-22) head to Toronto to face the Raptors (35-25) in a matchup of top-five East teams. The Raptors defend well (seventh in defensive rating) but are middling offensively, led by Brandon Ingram and Scottie Barnes, with guest appearances by our old friends, Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett. New York has defeated Toronto 11 […]
