Mike Brown On adjusting his offense for Towns: “He’s getting more comfortable. But also, too, I’ve had to make some adjustments to help […]
The Knicks hit ABC this afternoon trying to stop Tyrese Maxey and the 76ers and to avoid an 0–3 hole in the season series. A matinee . . . oh joy. New York enters at 26*–18, while Philadelphia is 24–19. The Sixers bring the confidence of a team that has already beaten the Knicks twice […]
After New York suffered an embarrassing defeat on their home court on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, head coach Mike Brown stepped up to the podium and revealed that he had some ideas on which buttons he needed to press prior to Wednesday night’s matchup against Brooklyn. And while a win, even if it is […]
The Knicks are supposed to be in the midst of an easy portion of the schedule. They had back-to-back games against the Trail Blazers and Kings, the latter of which is amongst the worst teams in the league. And then after consecutive games against the Warriors and Suns, two good teams, they squared off against […]
Of course, the Knicks broke the skid. It was the Nets on the other end, what did you expect? Here’s a bunch of quotes from the protagonists following a historic trouncing inflicted on New Jersey/Brooklyn. Mike Brown On Wednesday’s historic win over the Nets: “I didn’t know about the record until it was mentioned. But […]
When things are going the way they’ve been going for the Knicks, can you ever definitively say you’re confident in them to win, regardless of opponent? Yes, on paper, it was more likely the Knicks (26-18) would embarrass the Nets (12-30) by biblical margins than it was for them to manage to lose, especially when […]
On Monday, the Knicks (26*-18) were embarrassed by the Dallas Mavericks in their fourth-straight loss. That capped an awful 2-9 stretch that had us reeling. Dropping another one, to the Brooklyn Nets (12-30) no less, would have unleashed madness and mayhem upon the city. Thus, obliged to do their civic duty, New York opened up […]
The Knicks (25*–18) return to MSG, desperate to snap a four-game losing streak against a Nets team that has dropped seven of its last eight. New York’s recent skid has highlighted turnovers and defensive lapses, but the talent and full rotation remain intact. The Nets present an ideal opponent to turn things in a positive […]
The Knicks (25*-18) assemble on their home court again, desperate to avoid a season-worst, fifth-straight loss. They couldn’t ask for a better opponent to right the ship. The Brooklyn Nets (12-29), mired in a rebuild season, limp into the Garden having lost seven of their last eight games. The Knicks’ four-game skid (as well as […]
Did you think we were trying to dodge the bullet of covering the ugliest defeat in Knicks’ history here in the Bulletin? Not really. I was just inside on a 13-hour transatlantic flight and could barely do enough to keep breathing all throughout Tuesday. Here’s a whole lot of excuses and promises from your New […]
When the Knicks first started to struggle, fans and analysts were quick to diagnose the problem as fatigue, with a side of some schematic issues, and players just playing badly. But with every passing game, their so-called rough stretch looks less and less like a stretch, and more and more like who they actually are […]
If last Wednesday night’s loss to the lowly Sacramento Kings didn’t make you pull out your hair, scream, shake your head, and or contemplate how much you believe in this team for the rest of the season, than chances are, the loss to the Warriors, Suns, or the embarrassing loss at home to a 17-26 […]
On December 3, 2022, the Knicks were embarrassed at home against Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks on a weekend matinee at the World’s Most Famous Arena. The Knicks led by 15 in the second quarter behind strong defense, but ultimately took their foot off the gas and got absolutely blitzed in the second half. […]
Our world needs heroes with the integrity of Martin Luther King, Jr. Let us all pay him homage today. The great ones deserve our respect. Who didn’t deserve such reverence this evening? The Knicks (25*-18)! On the day that Jalen Brunson was minted as an All-Star starter, New York embarrassed itself against the shorthanded Dallas […]
On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the Knicks (25*-17) return to Madison Square Garden looking to snap a three-game skid against a struggling Dallas Mavericks team (17-26). The Knicks edged the Mavs 113-111 in Dallas last November. Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart have been cleared to play, while hotshot rookie Cooper Flagg is listed as […]
While the Knicks are currently dealing with some injuries and recent struggles, their captain added another personal accolade to his mantle on Monday before the MLK Day clash with the Mavericks. Jalen Brunson was named to his third all-star team and was named a starter for the second consecutive season. Unlike last season, where Brunson […]
Happy Martin Luther King Jr Day, everybody. On a day when we remember a great man—and wonder if we’ll ever see another—a Knicks (25*-17) team that’s been less than great of late will try to leverage home-court advantage and snap a three-game losing streak. Their opponent, the Dallas Mavericks (17-26), are flopping around near the […]
The New York Knicks (25*-17) are gearing up for a pivotal stretch of games this week, facing the Mavs in a MLK Day matchup at home, followed by a crosstown clash on Wednesday night, and finishing with a Saturday afternoon showdown. After dropping three straight, New York needs to regain some positive upward motion against […]
It’s an ugly time in Knickerbocker Town. Not here at P&T where we’re always smiling and laughing, right? Here’s a bunch of words before Monday’s Junior Varsity Game, because… Mike Brown On lack of defensive urgency:“When you fall down, you got to get up. You got to sprint down the floor, and even if you’re […]
Since New Year’s Eve, the Knicks have been a mess. For three weeks, a team that started the season 23-9 with strong victories and an NBA Cup, but also suffered defeats that could be explained by injuries, has gone on an inexplicable 2-8 streak, the worst 10-game stretch since David Fizdale was roaming the sideline. […]
The New York Knicks came up short again Saturday night at Madison Square Garden, falling 106-99 to the Phoenix Suns. Missed opportunities? Check. Turnovers? Double check. No late-game execution? Triple check. Devin Booker returned after missing one game for the Suns, but Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart couldn’t say the same. Book dropped 27 points, […]
After a disappointing road trip, the Knicks (25*–16) return to Madison Square Garden tonight for a rematch with the Suns (24–17). The home team will be looking to avenge a 112–107 loss in Phoenix ten days ago. As of this writing, Devin Booker is listed as a game-time-decision, while Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart are […]
After a rocky road trip, the Knicks (25*-16) return to Madison Square Garden tonight for a rematch with the Phoenix Suns (24-17). Not ten days ago, New York lost in Arizona, 112-107. The game was tight until Phoenix hit the gas, leaning on Devin Booker’s shot-making and a timely third-quarter surge to seize control. Jalen […]
Having Mitchell Robinson available only twice a week and the occasional Tuesday continues to undermine the Knicks. It is time for him to go. There, I said it. Load up your bows. At times, Mitch has been my favorite Knick. He is one of the best rebounders to ever do it, a fun personality, and […]
TThe road trip is over, hallelujah, amen. Tonight, the New York Knicks (25*-16) were coming off a dismal loss in Sacramento yesterday. They would be playing without their injured leader, Jalen Brunson, and without Mitchell Robinson, load managing after last night’s game. Their opponent, the Golden State Warriors (23-19), had pulverized Portland on Tuesday and […]
