New York has controlled the matchup from the opening tip of Game One, overpowering Philadelphia with physicality, rebounding, […]
Here… Come… The Brooms! Mike Brown On OG Anunoby’s status heading into Game 4: “He’s still day-to-day. I had not followed up to ask any specifics. I just wanna let them know, ‘OK, when’s he gonna be ready to play?’ It’s all medical-related and it starts with [the training and medical staff]. All I want […]
Keep the broom handy. The Knicks will face the 76ers on Mother’s Day in Game Four of the Eastern Conference semifinals at Xfinity Mobile Arena. New York holds a commanding 3-0 series lead and sits one win away from a second straight trip to the Eastern Conference Finals. The Sixers, meanwhile, are desperate to extend […]
With each passing day, there’s only one thing that crosses my mind whenever I think about the Knicks. What the hell happened in the locker room after Game 3 in Atlanta? The Knicks have won six consecutive playoff games. That hasn’t happened since 1999. They’ve never won seven in a row, which they’ll look to […]
Is it going to be a sweep? It is going to be a sweep! Here’s the latest after a delightful Game 3! Mike Brown On Philadelphia’s strong start to Game 3: “They jumped out and they kind of punched us in the mouth to start the game. Our guys settled down and they figured it […]
The Knicks silenced the doubters on Friday night, defeating the 76ers 109-94 to take a commanding 3-0 series lead and move within one win of the Eastern Conference Finals. Even with the return of Joel Embiid, Philadelphia had no answers for New York’s talent and depth. The Knicks weathered an early 12-point deficit, dominated the […]
Spike Lee made the trip. So did Tracy Morgan, Benjamin Edward Meara Stiller, and Timothee Chamalamalamalet. Despite attempts to keep Knicks fans from the Xfinity Mobile Arena, and Joel Embiid moaning about it being “Madison Square Garden East,” plenty of orange and blue support was present for Game Three of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. In […]
Tonight, the Knicks (2-0) visit the Philadelphia 76ers (0-2) at Xfinity Mobile Arena for Game Three of the Eastern Conference semifinals. It’s a chance for New York to take a commanding 3-0 lead on the road, but it won’t come easy. Although ESPN.com etting sites peg the Sixers as slight favorites at home. That’s mainly […]
The New York Knicks will be without star forward OG Anunoby for Game 3 of their series against the Philadelphia 76ers with a hamstring strain. The news comes after Anunoby scored 24 points in a 108-102 win in Game 2 at Madison Square Garden. Anunoby has been a key factor in the series so far […]
I enter tonight’s game more calm and serene than any other game this postseason. And I don’t particularly think I’m the only Knicks fan who feels that way. For many, the last 36 hours involved being an involuntary passenger on a roller coaster ride of emotions. After seeing the Knicks win an ugly and gritty […]
There aren’t a lot of things to complain about through two games of a series where you’ve won both games, especially in the ways the Knicks have won them. But there was a somber feeling after the gritty Game 2 victory at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night because of the unknown status of OG […]
Monday night, the Knicks won by TKO. Last night, they won on points. Tomorrow night, they may have to fight with one arm tied behind their back. While the absence of Joel Embiid for any extended time dooms any chance the 76ers have of winning this series, his absence in Game 2 was an ironic […]
Mitch was ill, Embiid was sore, and the Sixers are growing sour. New York swept the home half of their second-round series, and it’s now time to do the same, only a few miles out southwest. Here’s the latest from a delightful Game 2 victory. Mike Brown On Anunoby’s injury: “I haven’t talked to anybody. […]
The Knicks took a 2-0 series lead Wednesday night, grinding out a 108-102 victory over the 76ers at Madison Square Garden. New York trailed after the first quarter, 33-31, and stayed close through three, tied at 89 heading into the fourth. The relentless Knicks defense gradually wore down Tyrese Maxey (47 MIN, 26 PTS) and […]
To quote SwissCheez, “another no call, surprising.” And Knicksyism: “No foul…” And rcnt123: “No matter who wins, this is such a piss-poor reffed game.” Excessive complaining about lopsided officiating is generally considered uncouth, especially if your team wins. Hence, we apologize for what follows. New York made history on Monday. In defeating Philadelphia by 39 […]
Tonight, the New York Knicks (1-0) host the Philadelphia 76ers (0-1) at Madison Square Garden in Game Two of the Eastern Conference semifinals. New York obliterated Philly in Game One and can seize firm control of the series with another win at the Mecca. The Sixers have too much talent and pride to roll over […]
With the condensed schedule of the NBA playoffs and the quick turnaround for the Philadelphia 76ers after their seven-game series with the Boston Celtics, it was frequently wondered if Joel Embiid was going to be able to make it through a series that would play as many as seven games in 15 days. Well, just […]
Turns out the Sixers lost Game 1 because of the schedule, not because the Knicks crushed their souls into dust. Let’s see if having a bit of rest helps the Philly Numbers, or if they keep crumbling. Fresh Bulletin now, Game 2 later. Mike Brown On coaching under the Finals-or-bust pressure: “People have talked about […]
The Knicks’ Game One dominance over the 76ers was surprising even to New York fans who had them winning. The game was one-sided in pretty much every aspect, besides free throws, which is one of the things Joel Embiid oddly had gripes with. Shooting, hustle, offensive execution, turnovers, defensive focus, passing—you name it. The Knicks […]
Getting it right starts with getting it wrong. It’s true in math, mental health and Madison Square Garden, where last night the New York Knicks took a 1-0 series lead over Philadelphia with a 137-98 shellacking of the 76ers. Through all the fits and false starts of this season, there were glimpses. Early on the […]
New York so good they can win games in two quarters and change. Philly so bad they can’t even beat the Knicks’ bench mob in a garbage-time war. Here’s the latest after Game 1. Mike Brown On the team’s Game 1 performance: “I thought it was a really good game by our guys.” On his […]
The New York Knicks crushed the Philadelphia 76ers 137-98 in Game One of the Eastern Conference semifinals. Building a big lead early, they led by 23 at halftime and then cruised, with all starters resting in the fourth quarter. Jalen Brunson poured in 27 of his 35 points in the first half, while Tyrese Maxey […]
Tonight at Madison Square Garden, the Knicks hosted the 76ers in Game One of their semifinal series. New York had benefited from extra rest by routing Atlanta on Friday, while Philly took the Celtics to seven games before closing their series on Saturday. The visitors played like they had just fought a long battle as […]
Tonight, the third-seed New York Knicks host the seventh-seed Philadelphia 76ers at Madison Square Garden for Game One of the Eastern Conference semifinals. A strong Knicks start could shape the series, while the Sixers look to grab a road win in hostile territory. Our heroes enter as roughly seven-point favorites, buoyed by their superior regular-season […]
The New York Knicks (53–29) open their second-round series tonight against the Philadelphia 76ers (45–37) at Madison Square Garden. Game time is 8 p.m., and you can catch it on NBC and Peacock.
