The time has come for the Knicks to play an NBA Finals game. The day is today, and you, like everybody and their mother, will surely be watching. Here’s a mammoth bulletin to get you ready for what will come later. Mike Brown On Mitchell Robinson’s status heading into Game 1: “He did individual stuff […]
The Knicks-Spurs Connection: 40 players who wore both the Orange and Blue and the Silver and Black
It’s crazy to think Jeremy Sochan is about to receive an NBA championship ring regardless of how the Finals play out, despite likely never seeing the floor in the series. Waived by the Spurs midway through the season and later signed by the Knicks, Sochan has been used sparingly by New York. Yet thanks to […]
Knicks’ Mitchell Robinson Injury Updates Emerge Amid NBA Finals Game 1 Practice in San Antonio
Before Tuesday afternoon’s media day kicked off, one name was glaringly omitted from the media availability list. As some had suspected, Mitchell Robinson wasn’t going to be fielding questions from reporters. That isn’t necessarily indicative of anything, and shouldn’t be categorized as good, or bad news. But Robinson, and the Knicks, knowing just how many […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘I have some buddies that are monks’
Just one more sleep, and the lights will shine bright. Just one more day for the Knicks to finally grace the NBA Finals stage once again. We’ve been waiting for 27 years. We can make it there. Mike Brown On the pressure of coaching in the Finals: “You have to have some sort of fight […]
Five keys for the Knicks to beat the Spurs and raise the Larry O’Brien Trophy
I still cannot believe that the following sentence is reality. We are two days away from the New York Knicks playing in the NBA Finals. Despite how dominant they’ve been in the postseason, the Knicks are considerable underdogs to Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs, but this isn’t some David vs. Goliath story despite […]
Know The Enemy: The San Antonio Spurs
“Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win” — Sun Tzu When the season began, I fully expected the Knicks to represent the Eastern conference in the NBA Finals. The West? Different story. If the defending champions opening their title defense with […]
The NBA Finals: What to Expect When You’re Expecting…
The wait between the Conference Finals and the NBA Finals can feel like forever. As Knicks fans count down the hours until Game One against the Spurs, here are a few practical tips for maintaining your sanity until the ball finally goes up in San Antonio. 1. Mood Swings Are Normal While waiting for the […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘I know there’s something there, but I can’t tell you what’
Can Wednesday come soon enough? No, it seems it cannot. Here’s the latest from Sunday’s practice at Tarrytown and elsewhere. Mike Brown On Mitchell Robinson’s status during Sunday’s practice: “I know there’s something there (on his hand), but I can’t… I can’t tell you what. I don’t know (if he’d be cleared for Game 1). […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘My dream has been always to play in The Garden in the NBA Finals’
You couldn’t have written it any better. Knicks vs. Spurs. Smells like 1999 revenge. Mike Brown On Leon Rose and James Dolan building the Knicks into a Finals team: “Leon and his staff have done a freakin’ fantastic, fantastic job. I can even take it a step further — it doesn’t happen if Mr. Dolan […]
Knicks NBA Finals Primer: San Antonio Spurs
It’s here. After sweeping the Cleveland Cavaliers in an uncompetitive Eastern Conference Finals, the Knicks have reached a place they have not been in 27 years. A long journey has resulted in entire generations of Knicks fans being able to experience something new. But it certainly won’t be easy. A seven-game war out west for […]
Knicks vs. Spurs NBA Finals schedule revealed
The New York Knicks will play the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Finals after their opponent pulled out a gutsy Game 7 win on the road to get back to the Finals for the first time in 12 years. For the Knicks, it’s a rematch of their last Finals appearance in 1999, when they […]
Knicks to play Spurs in NBA Finals
The New York Knicks have their mark for the NBA Finals. After winning Game 7 at the Paycom Center, the San Antonio Spurs have completed their comeback and will face off against the Knicks in the NBA Finals.

Knicks Bulletin: ‘Just let me know if he can play, and when he can play’
The New York Knicks have been so good that they decided adding a little plot twist to their Finals run was good to make the story a bit spicier. Alas, Mitch’s pinky went sideways. Good news? It was just a scare in the middle of a long tale and won’t seemingly impact the big man. […]
A father, a son & three Knicks trips to the Finals
June 5, 1994 Game 7. ECF. 34 and a half seconds left. Knicks down one. I’m 15, watching in the living room with my papi. My mother and sisters are elsewhere; they don’t want to deal with our stressing. Charles Oakley inbounds to John Starks, surprisingly wide-open for the pass given all 19,763 in attendance […]
The brilliance of Leon Rose, and how he built the best Knicks team of the millennium
To start, here’s a breakdown of the 2026 Executive of the Year voting: There are a lot of good executives here. If you look leaguewide, of the nine teams that won at least 50 games, eight of them are on this list. Who’s missing? The Knicks, of course. Only one other team won at least […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘Oh, saying that to the wrong fanbase, my girl’
You asked for it… …and you got it. Here’s the latest from Tarrytown and elsewhere as we keep patiently/anxiously waiting. Mike Brown On preparing for either potential Finals opponent: “If we expect to be who we think we are, then at the end of the day it doesn’t matter. If we play San Antonio, it’ll […]
Knicks get bad injury news on Mitchell Robinson before NBA Finals
The New York Knicks are partying like it’s 1999 after reaching the NBA Finals for the first time in 27 years, but it is coming at a price. “New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson has suffered a broken right pinky finger and there is no timetable on his return, sources tell ESPN,” ESPN insider Shams […]
And we’re gonna party like it’s 1999
1999… Twenty-seven years ago. Nine years before the first iPhone. Social media didn’t exist yet. Netflix was still delivering DVDs via a bicycle rider. MapQuest printouts were basically the equivalent of GPS, and most people were still hearing “you’ve got mail” every time they logged onto the internet. For Knicks fans, the 1998-99 season still […]
REPORT: Mitchell Robinson and Landry Shamet likely returning for 2026-27
Most years, as June approaches, you have plenty of time to prepare for the offseason and everything that it may potential entail, in the draft, on the trade market, and in free agency. Yet, with the Knicks in the NBA Finals, it’ll be a quick turnaround, so in the lead-up to the Finals, we’re getting […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘We have good character guys in there’
You know what’s poppin’? The Spurs and the Thunder are five deep going seven. Pause. Mike Brown On Jalen Brunson’s work ethic and leadership after yet another sweep: “His work ethic is second to none. On top of that, he’s pretty even-keeled. Never gets too high, never gets too low. And when your leader is […]
Who Should the Knicks Want in the NBA Finals? The Thunder vs. Spurs Debate
Now that the Knicks have swept the Cavs in the Eastern Conference Finals and won 11 straight playoff games, they must wait for a winner to be crowned in the West. In the WCF, the Thunder lead San Antonio Spurs 3-2. In a seesaw series, Oklahoma City struck back last night, when their frontcourt (including […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘I owe the whole state and all five boroughs of New York an apology’
If you are reading this, congratulations. There are many overs still going through the hangover. Here’s even more after Monday’s NBA Finals clincher.

They’re doing it differently depending on who our […]
Mike Brown’s Finals experience coming in handy for Knicks
Just 322 days into his tenure as the New York Knicks’ head coach, Mike Brown has the franchise in the NBA Finals. The Knicks have not seen the NBA Finals in the 21st century, but Brown has been there numerous times. Brown’s first Finals experience came in 2003, when he was an assistant on Gregg […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘They have 10 guys that are thriving’
New York. Knicks. NBA Finals. Mike Brown On never doubting his team: “I truly felt that this team was an NBA Finals team. I felt like we had a true opportunity. … I did have that belief from Day 1.” On Mitchell Robinson’s value to the Knicks: “Mitch can start for any team in the […]
