Game Preview: Knicks vs. 76ers, January 3, 2026
After spinning their wheels in the mud against the Hawks last night, the New York Knicks (23*-11) are back in action tonight, taking on the Philadelphia 76ers (18-14). The Knicks sit two games behind the Detroit Pistons in the Eastern Conference, while the Sixers rank fifth. Last night’s effort at Madison Square Garden ended in […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘It was too late by that point’
The Knicks decided to drop the first leg of a back-to-back affair so they can beat the 76ers nicely today. What did you expect? Here’s the latest from the protagonists of Friday’s disaster. Mike Brown On the Knicks failing to defend when shots weren’t falling: “The shot’s not falling, where else are we gonna hang […]
Hawks 111, Knicks 99: Missing players, missing shots
Tonight, a shorthanded New York Knicks (23*-11) squad hosted the Atlanta Hawks (17-19). The home team played without Karl-Anthony Towns (illness), Josh Hart (ankle), and Mitchell Robinson (ankle), which was to their detriment, while the visitors played without Trae Young, which was to Atlanta’s advantage. The score was close in the first quarter, but started […]
Game Thread: Knicks vs. Hawks, January 2, 2026
The Knicks (23*-10) return to Madison Square Garden, looking to extend their dominance over the Atlanta Hawks (16-19). This is a rematch of last Saturday’s game, which New York nearly gave away down the stretch, and marks the second of their three-game season series. This time out, we don’t expect Onyeka Okongwu to make 6-of-10 […]
Game Preview: Knicks vs. Hawks, January 2, 2026
Happy New Year, P&Ters! After blowing a 19-point first-half lead to the San Antonio Spurs (who were without Victor Wembanyama for much of the fourth quarter) on New Year’s Eve, the Knicks (23-10) will look to bounce back by taking down the Atlanta Hawks (16-19) for the second time in about a week. The Hawks […]
Brunson and SGA named the NBA Players of the Month
After leading the New York Knicks to a 10-4 record and averaging 30.6 PPG, 7.1 APG, and 40.5% from deep, Jalen Brunson was an obvious choice for the Eastern Conference’s Kia NBA Player of the Month. Taking the honor in the Western Conference, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander averaged 31.4 ppg, 6.1 apg, 59.4 FG%. His Oklahoma City […]
Top 10 Knicks moments of 2025
2025 was a fun year. The Knicks played 101 total meaningful games in 2025. They went 51-31 in regular-season games and 10-8 in the postseason. When you add in the uncounted NBA Cup Final victory, the Knicks won 62 games in 2025, one of the most in recent memory (they did win more in 2024). […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘That’s not the mentality to have’
The Knicks decided it was better to finish 2025 on a losing note, so karma balances out in 2026 and they can win the championship. One step backwards, two steps forward. Here’s some old stuff from last year. Mike Brown On Landry Shamet’s defensive value and skill set: “Shamet and McBride are our best on-ball […]
Game Thread: Knicks at Spurs, Dec. 31, 2025
Happy New Year, fans. Tonight your New York Knicks (23*-9) travel to San Antonio to face the Spurs (23-9*) to ring in 2026. It’s a rematch of the NBA Cup final, which the Knicks won by being better down the stretch. They’ll be without Mitchell Robinson and Josh Hart tonight, making this an even tougher […]
Game Preview: Knicks at Spurs, December 31, 2025
2025 has been a hectic year for the Knicks. It started in January with the rapid decline of what looked like one of the best starting lineups in the league. And as the team stumbled through much of February and March, it looked like one with little hope. But a memorable playoff run that included […]
The Knicks’ most impressive trait this season? Depth
Having the same coach for a long time means you take the good and the bad for granted. In the case of Tom Thibodeau, it meant two things in particular. First, the Knicks would come out playing their hardest every single night. No question. The guys out there on the floor would give it their […]
Is Jalen Brunson really a flopper?
Foul baiter, flopper, not ethical, unwatchable, disgusting. Jalen Brunson and his game have been called all of these things. But these opinions are voiced rarely, if ever, by people who actually watch and know basketball. These lazy and statistically false narratives are often perpetuated by those who are either salty after losing to Brunson and […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘You’ve got to have a guy’
Against all odds and a horn “malfunction,” the Knicks still got a road dub on Monday. New York visited New Orleans and dropped the Pelicans further down their tank, beating them in a close affair. Here’s the latest from your superheroes—no, really, five of them ranked inside the Eastern Conference Top 16 in votes for […]
Knicks 130, Pelicans 125: Cap and OG outlast Zion and that fool Poole
The New York Knicks (23*-9) refuse to quit. On Saturday, they had to work hard in the fourth quarter to withstand a strong push from the Hawks. Tonight, facing the New Orleans Pelicans (8-25) at the Smoothie King Arena, the Knicks were the team mounting the second half rally. And once again, they came away […]
Game Thread: Knicks at Pelicans, December 29, 2025
Tonight the Knicks (22*-9) travel to the bayou to face the Pelicans (8-25). New York is firing on all cylinders and fought off a late-game comeback to escape Atlanta with a win on Saturday. New Orleans would appreciate it if you’d attend a game and fill their empty seats. It’s no surprise that they clog […]
Game Preview: Knicks at Pelicans, December 29, 2025
For the second game in a row, the New York (K)nicks* will face off against an inferior opponent that is not only having a rough year, but also going through a tough stretch. The New Orleans Pelicans’ three-game losing streak may not be as bad as the five-game losing streak that the Atlanta Hawks carried […]
Knicks Week Preview: Dec. 28 – Jan. 3
This is a little late, folks. If the delay has caused you to not properly plan your Knicks-related TV-watching time, forgive me. I can relate to the struggle for the living room’s boob tube. ESPN.com sets the odds of me watching an entire day’s worth of the Twilight Zone marathon at 26%. Monday, Dec 29 […]
Injuries are testing the Knicks’ mettle, but they’re taking it in stride
The Knicks were among the healthiest teams in basketball last season. Most trackers rank them in the bottom ten for minutes, games, salary, and production lost due to injuries in the 2024-25 season. That is despite the unbelievable amount of strain put on them by former coach Tom Thibodeau and the team’s starters logging a […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘Who cares what people say?’
Trae Young better keep gambling, cause dubs haven’t arrived at his shores yet. The Hawks believed they’d defeat the Knicks, only to eat a sour L inside their own arena. Cold world. Here’s a bunch of stuff from the protagonists, including unexpected hero Kevin Mac. Mike Brown On Kevin McCullar Jr.’s opportunity: “I just wanted […]
Knicks 128, Hawks 125: But if Thibs was coaching….
Tonight’s game in Atlanta between the New York Knicks (22*-9) and the Hawks (15-18) had it all: playoff atmosphere; a 36-16 double-double by Karl-Anthony Towns; Trae Young threatening to steal another win from the Knicks down the stretch; Captain Clutch heroics; and yet another Knicks youngster making the most of an opportunity. What a time […]
Game Thread: Knicks at Hawks, December 27, 2025
Atlanta enters Saturday night on the second night of a back-to-back after a home loss to Miami, having dropped eight of its last ten and continued to struggle defensively. The Hawks still play fast and score enough to be dangerous, but poor rebounding, and defense — especially with Trae Young on the floor — have […]
Game Preview: Knicks at Hawks, December 27, 2025
The Atlanta Hawks (15-17) have problems and I love it. The birds lost at home to Miami last night, 126-111. Tonight, in the second of a back-to-back, they’ll welcome the New York Knicks (21*-9). This is the first meeting of the season between these two teams. They’ll square up again on January 2, in NYC. […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘I can’t be fear-based’
Are you feeling that? Yes, it’s December 27, but you’re still hungover from that boozy Knicksmas victory. Here’s a bunch of quotes I missed yesterday cause of the punch. Mike Brown On challenging Tyler Kolek at halftime in Minnesota: “When we were in Minnesota at halftime, [Kolek] was 3-for-10 from the floor. And I went […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘Playing at the Garden on Christmas? Doesn’t get much better than that’
The Knicks won, as is their wont. The Cavs got tossed, and lost. Here’s a bunch of Kolekontent. Mike Brown On sacrifice and connectivity: “Everybody understands what our standard is — it’s about sacrifice. KAT sat most of the fourth, but he was still into the game. You could tell, because he had the biggest […]
NYK 126, CLE 124: The night Tyler Kolek stole Christmas
We are truly fortunate as Knicks fans. The same way that Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys fans get to watch their teams on Thanksgiving every year, the Knicks are the closest thing that the NBA has to that for their biggest showcase day, Christmas. Since their inaugural season in 1947, they’ve played on Christmas 58 […]
