Playoff Game Thread: Knicks vs. Hawks, Game 2, April 20, 2026
The Knicks (1-0) will be back in action when they host the Hawks (0-1) in Game Two of the Eastern Conference first-round series. Thanks to a strong start by Jalen Brunson, a stronger finish by Karl-Anthony Towns, and dominating the glass, the Knicks (mostly) cruised to victory on Saturday, 113-102. Tonight, we’ll see how coach […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘Sprinkled a little spice on him, man. Just a little magic’
New York will see the Knicks play basketball against the Hawks inside the Garden one final time this season. Next time the homies get back home, that’d be for Game 3 of the second-round series. Here’s what has been said heading into G2 later today. Mike Brown On CJ McCollum’s Brodway comments:“I didn’t see it. […]
Playoff Game Preview: Knicks vs. Hawks, Game 2, April 20, 2026
After a feel-good Game One victory on Saturday, the Knicks are set to host the Hawks again at MSG tonight in Game Two of their Eastern Conference first-round series. A second victory would give New York extra breathing room before the series relocates to Georgia, and would further deflate the momentum of an Atlanta team […]
The seven biggest takeaways after NY’s Game One win over Atlanta
Game ones of a playoff series often show us how teams want to defend, attack, and use their strengths and weaknesses. They are also just the first step in a complex and sometimes long process that is followed up with adjustments and tweaks. Regardless, the opening game tends to give us a good idea of […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘Jalen thought we were at a Broadway show’
If you ever doubted the Knicks… …you better get outta here. Only three first-round postgame Bulletins coming after this one. You know the reason. Knicks in four. Mike Brown On the team’s sacrifice and depth:“We feel like the team is deep and anybody can get going at any time. For us, it’s about sacrificing and […]
Knicks 113, Hawks 102: “We have the better Jalen”
Fun fact: Jesse Itzler, who wrote “Go New York Go” is both a Knicks fan and a minority co-owner of the Hawks. Mr. Itzler must have felt some conflicted feelings as he sat down to watch the Knickerbockers host Atlanta in Game One of the Eastern Conference First Round. And it must have been a […]
Playoff Game Thread: Knicks vs. Hawks, Game 1, April 18, 2026
The New York Knicks enter the playoffs off a strong season that saw them finish as a top-five offense and top-ten defense. Now, with a championship in their sights, our heroes open their first-round series against a retooled Atlanta Hawks team that has benefited from breakout seasons by Jalen Johnson and Nickeil Alexander-Walker, veteran scoring […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘That’s kind of what I’ve known. It’s kind of my DNA.’
Knicks. Hawks. Game 1. Let’s go! Mike Brown On focusing on the Knicks’ strengths:“Obviously, you respect what you’ve done all year. The neat part about it is we’ve faced a lot of different things. We’ve faced cross-matches, we’ve faced teams playing us the same, we’ve faced zone, we’ve faced box-and-1. So to be able to […]
P&T Round(ball) Table: Predictions for the Knicks-Hawks first round series.
Here we go! The playoffs have arrived and our beloved Knickerbockers are expected by many to make a deep postseason run. Will they? Won’t they? As usual, the Posting & Toasting crew has reconvened for a round(ball) table discussion to weigh in on the biggest questions surrounding the Knicks’ first-round matchup with the pesky Atlanta […]
Playoff Game Preview: Knicks vs. Hawks, Game 1, April 18, 2026
The wait is over. The New York Knicks’ 80th campaign was a grueling 82-game marathon (83 if you count that Vegas scrimmage), but by almost every measure, it was a success. They finished 53-29, tying for the tenth-best winning percentage in franchise history; finished with a top-five offense and a top-ten defense; and claimed the […]
SPOILER: Read here to see how the Knicks postseason turns out
The 2026 New York Knicks don’t add up. Except one way they really add up. This is a team that can rip off a winning run for weeks that implies they can beat anyone, anywhere, anytime. Other times they’re less Larry O’Brien, more Larry, Curly and Moe. Last year they went 1-13 against the Thunder, […]
Why this playoff run matters more than last year’s and next year’s
In a vacuum, the Knicks’ window to win a championship goes beyond 2026. This time next year, Josh Hart will be the oldest of the current Knicks who are likely to return, at 32 years-old, with Karl-Anthony Towns being 31, and Jalen Brunson, Landry Shamet, and Mikal Bridges all hitting the big three-zero. They won’t […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘First, I would say that I blame Trae Young’
Only one more sleep. Just a bit over 24 hours for tip-off. If you feel anxious, crack Trae Young jokes. Zohran Mamdani (NYC Mayor) On why the Knicks’ playoff ticket prices are sky-high: “First, I would say that I blame Trae Young. And I think it’s always important to blame Trae Young.” Mike Brown On […]
Three keys to the Knicks winning their first-round series against the Hawks
Just two days remain until the beginning of the Knicks’ playoff journey against the Atlanta Hawks, and there are a lot of compelling storylines with this series. While the Knicks are favored, national pundits believe this series will be among the closer ones in the first round of the NBA playoffs, so what do the […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘It’s something that we could sit here and explain’
Just two days left. Saturday can’t come soon enough. Come on, dawg. Mike Brown On not thinking about his potential firing if the team falls short of a title: “I don’t really think about the last part of the question. Everybody in that locker room has a competitive spirit that I like and that I […]
Five most important Knicks in the opening round
Jalen Brunson It goes without saying, but this team, especially in the postseason, needs Jalen Brunson to be at his best. New York has had games, especially in the first round of the last couple of playoffs, where they have won, even when Brunson has had off nights. But they’ll need him to be great […]
Knicks First Round Series Primer: Atlanta Hawks
Well, here we are. After a long, 82-game season full of twists and turns, we’ve arrived at the start of a playoff journey. Conventional wisdom said that the Toronto Raptors would be the first-round opponent entering Sunday, but the Orlando Magic somehow lost to the Celtics’ C-team, so here we are. Whatever way you feel […]
Knicks vs. Hawks Playoff History: A Look Down Memory Lane & 7th
If you go looking through the Knicks’ biggest playoff rivals, the Hawks aren’t the first matchup that comes to mind. They’re not Miami, they’re not Indiana, and they haven’t been a consistent playoff opponent at all. In fact, it’s a pretty rare matchup. But when these two teams do meet in the postseason, it usually […]
Hornets 110, Knicks 96: “Can already hear the ‘F*** Trae Young’ chants”
The most anticipated yet anticlimactic Knick regular season in years concluded its preamble with a 110-96 loss to the Charlotte Hornets, though it didn’t feel like an L. Both teams got what they wanted: New York rested their starting five and Mitchell Robinson (somewhere in Connecticut, a worried friend injects thorazine into the red, raging […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘It was nice, man’
The season is over, fellas. Ah, sorry, I only meant the regular thing. We still have the playoffs and the parade coming up next. Bring it on! Mike Breen On the greedy NBA: “This is the first time ever that no longer can the home team announcers and broadcasters televise the first round. The entire […]
Game Thread: Knicks vs Hornets, April 12, 2026
The Knicks (53*-28) close their regular season Sunday night at Madison Square Garden against the Hornets (43-38), with New York locked into the East’s No. 3 seed and Charlotte still battling for home-court advantage in the Play-In. The Knicks enter on a five-game winning streak, but have little to gain by exerting too much effort […]
Game Preview: Knicks vs Hornets, April 12, 2026
We have arrived. When the Knicks (53*-28) host the Hornets (43-38) tonight at Madison Square Garden, their regular season will draw to a close. What a season it has been. A success by most measures, for sure, yet disappointing at times. So like life. The obviousness of the Pistons and Celtics stealing the top two […]
The rare and wacky calls of the 2025-26 season
81 down, one to go. 81 games into this roller coaster ride of a regular season, we’ve reached a point of reflection. In a season that’s seen few true moments to breathe, the Knicks are entering Game 82 with absolutely nothing to play for (unless you want to go for the team’s first 54-win season […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘Tonight was a good night’
Postseason clinched. No. 3 seed locked. That’s your New York Knickerbockers. Mike Brown On not hiding anything against Toronto: “We just play and try to win. When you start messing with the basketball gods it bites you in the ass, so I ain’t gonna do that.” On his postseason focus: “I was trying to get […]
All Knicks’ playoff scenarios heading into Sunday’s finale
It’s that time of the year. That time of the year when we come up with a thousand possibilities, anxiously think about this and that and the other thing… only for everything to unfold and be resolved by itself in 24 hours. We just can’t help ourselves, can we? That’s why, with just one game […]
