Knicks’ announcement means bad news for everybody, including New York
While the Knicks and their fans have spent much of the summer celebrating their first championship in 53 years, the upcoming contract situations of a few players have loomed over their heads. And if said players wanted to secure their futures before the start of the season, they were in for a good dose of […]
All the dumb moments that make this title so much sweeter: Part III (2001-10)
We’re getting closer and closer to basketball, ladies and gentlemen. Can you smell it? Preseason kicked off in South Philly on Monday, and the Knicks played a basketball game in the World’s Most Famous Arena for the first time since OG Anunoby’s Game 4 heroics last night. Before you know it, in 11 days time, […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘We will remain solely focused on preparing for the start of the season’
The Knicks lost their second consecutive official scrimmage on Thursday… …only for the organization to announce on Friday morning that nope, they ain’t budging and entering contract-extension negotiations any time soon. Gotta love how the outside world sees this as the excrement hitting the fan while we are here resting easy still enjoying the championship. […]
Preseason Game Thread: Knicks vs. Wizards, October 8, 2026
The World Champion Knicks (0-1) return to Madison Square Garden tonight for their first home appearance since defeating the Spurs in June. Monday’s 120-97 loss in Philadelphia featured brief starter minutes, 20 Knicks, and a ton of missed threes. Mike Brown wants more physicality tonight, and some made shots would be nice, too. Washington (0-0) […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘At the end of the day, everybody has a short-term memory’
New York will watch the Knicks play basketball inside the Garden for the first time since they waved them goodbye after the Game 4 win over the Spurs and before they hoisted the Larry O’B back in Texas. The MSG faithful will have to wait a couple of weeks for the unveiling of the banner(s?), […]
Preseason Game Preview: Knicks vs. Wizards, October 8, 2026
The Knicks (0-1) host the Wizards (0-0) tonight in their first return to the court at 4 Pennsylvania Plaza since sinking the Spurs in June. New York seeks to rebound from a 97-120 loss in Philadelphia, where the starters played around 15 minutes each and Mike Brown fielded 20 players. For the Wiz, it will […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘I heard that all summer’
As we patiently wait for the Knicks to host the Wiz Kiz on Thursday… …here are the latest quotables from around Tarrytown and elsewhere. Mike Brown On the Knicks’ lack of physicality against Philadelphia: “What bothers me is our lack of physicality throughout the ball game, and that’s the whole roster up and down. We […]
The very second apron that paved the way for their title seeks to destroy the Knicks
Sports are cyclical. It’s very rare for a team to stay on top for a prolonged period of time, just the same as it’s rare for a team to stay in the doldrums for a long time. Smart organizations can keep championship windows open, and dumb organizations can keep shooting themselves in the foot, but […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘Definitely heartbreaking’
The New York Knicks officially unofficially played basketball yesterday, and I can’t be happier about an opponent’s win. As Russell said in his Scenes, we’ll give them belt when it counts, but for now, all I needed was some Orange and Blue hoops in my screen. Here’s the latest from NYK world coming off Monday’s […]
76ers 120, Knicks 97: Scenes from a sleepy scrimmage
Real fans watch preseason games, these half-hearted scrimmages in which stars tend to lollygag, and the guys fighting for roster or rotation consideration tend to play as you’d expect—like guys trying to secure seats at the southern reach of the bench. Bandwagoners and parade crashers don’t tune in for this slop. Real fans do, cuz […]
Preseason Game Thread: Knicks at 76ers, October 5, 2026
The Knicks travel to Xfinity Mobile Arena tonight for their inaugural preseason game and their first appearance on the court since beating the Spurs for the NBA Championship (yes, that really happened). The 76ers are not the same team that New York swept in round two of the playoffs. This offseason, Philly bulked up with […]
Monday Posted & Toasted Notes: KAT sounds off, yearning Mike, basketball time!
Last time I checked, we were celebrating. Turns out, we’re now back to watching games take place again! Not Knicks on Friday Night, but hey, the boys can only play when they tell them to, and I won’t complain. Links and things today, quotes (probably) tomorrow. “Simply put, I want to do something to keep […]
Preseason Game Preview: Knicks at 76ers, October 5, 2026
Is there really a game already? Oy vey. We are still getting used to how brief the summer break is when the basketball team you cover is actually successful in the postseason. Indeed, the NBA champion New York Knicks open their preseason schedule tonight. They’ll travel to face a Philadelphia 76ers club that has bolstered […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘I think he has endless upside’
Paying homage to my biggest brain fart… Would you believe the Knicks play basketball tomorrow!? Here’s the latest from around Tarrytown and those places. Mike Brown On Mohamed Diawara’s increased comfort and development entering Year 2: “Last year, you could see he was a little jittery when he was out there, because he didn’t quite […]
Saturday Posted & Toasted Notes: Wise men, French presidents, BrickBron James
Last weekend without basketball, fellas, so here’s a quick summary of a bunch of stuff that popped up recently around the NBA before we get down to (yeah, I know, preseason, but still…) business. “I’m just going to let it unfold. I got no expectations. I’m not trying to forecast anything. I’m just taking this […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘Either joint replacement, let it go, or, I guess, amputation’
My brain melted yesterday, thought it was Sunday, not Thursday. Anyway, today’s Friday. I guess. Here’s the latest from Tarrytown as we keep hearing from different Knicks. Mike Brown On Josh Hart’s injured finger and the toughness it reflects: “Josh, he’s a handsome young man. But that finger is ugly. So, I don’t look at […]
On This Date in Knicks History: October 2
Two noteworthy Knicks birthdays today! Dr. Dick Barnett was born October 2, 1936, in Gary, Indiana. Barnett spent eight seasons with New York, became an All-Star in 1968, and played for both the 1970 and 1973 championship teams. His number 12 hangs in the Garden rafters. He died last year at 88. Barnett had one […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘I’ll let the front office and my agency handle that’
Would you believe the Knicks play basketball next week!? That’s right, and they do so against the Philadelphia 76ers of all teams, one that surely pays homage to the age of their roster with their moniker. Here’s the latest we heard straight out of Tarrytown and elsewhere on Wednesday. Mike Brown On eventually discussing Miles […]
Thursday Posted & Toasted Notes: Candid KAT, roster math, criminal files
You don’t know how much I missed #KnicksSZN. Actually, if you’re reading this… I mean, you probably know as well. Here’s the latest from Tarrytown and other NBA-related places. “We were on Zillow looking at Milwaukee. Like, ‘Hey, babe, I went around town, and it’s not that bad. This could be a good spot right […]
Dumping Deuce Not Advised
Seasoned Knicks fans have doctorate degrees in roster construction, with a primary focus on asset management. For over a decade, we spent countless hours discussing expiring contracts, tracking picks, and praying the day would come when all the “futures thinking” translated into a legitimate championship window. Well, we made it. Like the driver-side door on […]
Knicks enter camp looking to perfect their championship offense
You hear versions of the story often. Here’s one that might be apocryphal (forgive me if I get it wrong; I’m bottle-feeding a rescued kitten every two hours and haven’t slept properly since Friday). Rock juggernaut Def Leppard was almost finished recording their follow-up to the multi-platinum Pyromania, and their track list was locked down […]
Knicks sign Tony Bradley and Jaden Akins in training camp roster shakeup
The Knicks are not quite done sorting out their training camp roster. On Wednesday morning, as we creep ever closer to next Monday’s preseason opener, the Knicks made a series of roster moves at the back of their training camp roster: There’s a few layers to unpack here, so let’s start with the two new […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘If I get a joint replacement, my career is over’
Can you feel it in the air? It’s Knicks basketball scent. New York keeps working through the early days of training camp, gearing up for a preseason matchup with the 76ers on Oct. 5. Meanwhile, here’s the latest we’ve heard about the Knickerbockers inside the Tarrytown facilities and elsewhere. Mike Brown On Andre Drummond being […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘That’s going to help us, but that can also hurt us’
Here’s the second Bulletin covering Media Day with everything else that I couldn’t find yesterday. Apologies in advance for any repeated quotes, but hey, y’all can’t have it all. Here’s the latest before training camp gets going today, with the first preseason game less than a week away. Jalen Brunson On playing through his left […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘We’re going to hit adversity… and we’re going to embrace it’
The New York Knicks were back in the spotlight Monday morning during Media Day. Everybody sat at the desk and discussed this and that the other thing, so I had plenty to go through for a first gathering of quotes before I dig deeper to offer more comprehensive bulletins in the next few days. For […]
