Knicks Bulletin: ‘That’s what you got an agent for’
It looks like the Knicks just can’t get things quite right, can they? Phoenix made New York eat their four L in five attempts, and the folks won’t have it any easier going forward with a few more West Coast games on the horizon. Here’s a little of what was said on Friday night. Mike […]
Suns 112, Knicks 107: Out-clutched in Cactusville
This morning, the temperature in Phoenix, Arizona, was in the forties, as it was back in New York. Different city, same stuff. Tonight, the Knicks turned the ball over 18 times and lost a game. Different city, same stuff. Yet again, New York (24*-14) stumbled out of the gate, falling behind early to the Phoenix […]
Game Thread: Knicks at Suns, January 9, 2026
The Knicks (24*-13) open a four-game West Coast road trip tonight against a quietly strong Phoenix Suns (22-15) team, who, despite limited national buzz, has won seven of its last nine behind Devin Booker and a solid supporting cast. Tonight, the Suns will be without Jalen Green and Jamaree Bouyea, while the Knicks remain short-handed […]
Game Preview: Knicks at Suns, January 9, 2026
The Knicks’ four-game West coast road trip begins tonight, as they face off against the under-the-radar Phoenix Suns. A trip like this should serve as a true litmus test for New York, who were able to steady the ship with a 123-111 Wednesday evening win versus the Clippers, ending an ugly four game slide. Heading […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘I know I can be one of the best point-of-attack defenders’
The Knicks are back. Josh Hart is not. Here are some words. Mike Brown On embracing the recent losing streak: “I hope no one takes this the wrong way, but I embrace it. When you go through what we’ve gone through, nobody wants to lose, but it helps us be better. It helps me be […]
The problem isn’t the double-big lineup, it’s how it’s used
Over the last two years, we’ve seen different iterations of the double-big lineup that features both Karl-Anthony Towns and Mitchell Robinson. There are reasons that both Tom Thibodeau and Mike Brown have gone to it. It matches up better theoretically against bigger teams. It gives them an actual rim protector in Robinson, without giving up […]
The evolution of Deuce McBride
When the Knicks acquired Deuce McBride in the 2021 draft, he was looked at by many as an athletic defensive pest with some playmaking and shooting potential. While his height and lack of vertical ability on the offense were a concern for some, his 6’8.75” wingspan, instantly translatable defense, and encouraging metrics and stats during […]
What the Trae Young trade means for the Knicks and the Eastern Conference
There was an end of an era (error?) in Atlanta on Wednesday, as the Hawks pulled the trigger on a long-rumored trade, ending the Trae Young era by sending him to… [checks notes] …the Washington Wizards in exchange for Corey Kispert and CJ McCollum. No picks going either way. It’s a surreal ending to a […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘I made some shots. I didn’t make a lot of them’
Hard to believe, but the Knicks finally won a thing after a four-game losing skid! It was against the lowly, washed, old-butt Clippers, but you can only beat those in front of you, aimirte? Here’s a bunch of words uttered by Coach Brown and a few others in the past few hours. Mike Brown On […]
Knicks 123, Clippers 111: Knicks end skid, snip the Clips
Tonight the Knicks (24*-13) hosted the surprisingly hot Los Angeles Clippers (13-23) at Madison Square Garden. Said us: we’re kinda worried, with New York having lost four straight games and needing a wind to fill their sails for the upcoming West Coast trip. Said the Knicks: What, us worry? The Clippers jumped out to a […]
Game Thread: Knicks vs. Clippers, January 7, 2026
The New York Knicks (23–13) host the Los Angeles Clippers (13–22) at Madison Square Garden, looking to stop a four-game slide. L.A. arrives playing its best basketball after winning seven of its last eight, tightening its defense and controlling tempo. Kawhi Leonard is playing great basketball again, and James Harden has been upgraded to active […]
For the Knicks, effort is the way out of the skid
Unless you’re the 73-9 Warriors or the 1990s Bulls, a midseason slump is inevitable. Four of the last six NBA champions endured a four-game losing streak at some point. The once-unbeatable OKC Thunder have played .500 ball for the last three weeks after starting 24-1, including getting blown out by the Charlotte Hornets with their […]
Game Preview: Knicks vs. Clippers, January 7, 2026
The New York Knicks (23*–13) host the Los Angeles Clippers (13–22) at Madison Square Garden tonight, with the Knicks aiming to stop a four-game slide. Despite their recent stumble, the Knicks remain near the top of the Eastern Conference. The Clippers arrive on a bit of a gust, playing better than they did to start […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘We want to get to the Finals and we should win the Finals’
Will the Knicks ever win again? They’d better do, if only to please MSG overlord James Dolan. Here’s the latest from your current, former, and ancillary Knickerbockers. Mike Brown On the fan boos and concerns about the Knicks: “As a fan, you have the right to panic. You have a right to boo, you have […]
Knicks putting themselves in a bind with Kevin McCullar’s recent emergence
This last week has been pretty rough across the board for the Knicks. Blowing a 19-point lead on New Year’s Eve to the Spurs snowballed into three straight bizarrely uncompetitive defeats, with two of them only appearing close at the end due to a strong fourth quarter. After Monday’s blowout loss in Detroit, there seem […]
Two key Knicks potentially nearing return?
Injuries are not, and cannot be, an excuse for how poorly the Knicks have played. While Josh Hart and Landry Shamet, and their excellent seasons, have been a pivotal part of the Knicks’ success, New York, if it wants to maintain its championship aspirations, cannot let two players impact their offensive process, defensive energy, and […]
Second round of the All-Star ballots sees Brunson move up
Last week, when the NBA released the results of the first fan returns in NBA All-Star voting, Knicks fans were pleased to see that their favorite players were getting a lot of love. While the last few years had been headlined by how Brunson and his teammates were not getting enough votes, and how Knicks […]
Breaking down the Knicks’ struggles
After Monday night’s embarrassing blowout loss to the Pistons, the Knicks are now third in the East and are in the midst of a four-game losing streak, the last three of which have come by double digits. The worst part? The results, as bad as they may look, don’t even tell the whole story. New […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘It’s cool to be in a funk’
I’m growing tired of writing short introductions for quote-board posts after losses. Can y’all win a game, please and thank you? Words below. Mike Brown On why the Pistons beat the Knicks on Monday: “It’s pretty simple. They just physically kicked our ass.” On defensive accountability and urgency: “Everything’s on the table right now for […]
Pistons 121, Knicks 90: Yuck.
In the midst of a three-game slide heading into tonight’s matchup with the Detroit Pistons, one would think that the Knicks would come into the game with a chip on their shoulders. They had sent Cade Cunningham and the Pistons packing last year in the first round in a 4-2 series win that was all […]
Game Thread: Knicks at Pistons, January 5, 2026
The New York Knicks (23*-12) are in Michigan this evening to face Cade Cunningham and the Eastern Conference-leading Detroit Pistons (26-9). The Pistons are tough on both ends of the floor, but they’ve been more beatable of late, losing three of their last five. Lucky for the visitors, Jalen Duren and Tobias Harris will both […]
Game Preview: Knicks at Pistons, January 5, 2026
Tonight in Michigan, the New York Knicks (23*-12) take the court at Little Caesars Arena to battle the conference-leading Detroit Pistons (26-9). On May 1, 2025, the Knicks closed out their first-round series with a Brunson bang, edging the Pistons 116–113 in Game 6 behind a dominant 40-point performance from Jalen. After leading most of […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘The officials are the officials’
The Knicks and the Pistons are clashing tonight for the first time this season in a No. 1 vs. No. 2 showdown. Too bad the game is at Pizza Palace and not MSG. Here’s some of what’s been said in the last few hours. Mike Brown On the Knicks’ offensive identity breaking down: “It’s been […]
Knicks Week Preview: Jan. 4-10, 2026
The New York Knicks head into the week at a moment when things feel slightly unsettled. They’re still frontrunners for best of the conference, if not the league, but they’re searching for traction after a rough stretch. A tough road test, a brief return home, and a late-night stop out West will offer a clearer […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘Everyone has a lapse’
The Knicks let another one slip and they’re now navigating a three-game skid. New York welcomed back the Twin towers but that could prevent the Sixers from snatching the win Here’s what Coach Mike and a few of those involved said before and after yesterday’s game. Mike Brown On the Knicks facing adversity: “We are […]
