Game Thread: Knicks vs Pacers, March 17, 2026

The Knicks (44*-25) return home to face the struggling Pacers (15-53), who enter on a 13-game losing streak.

The bipolarity of the Knicks

If you received a snapshot of a certain timestamp in almost every single Knicks game since the all-star break, you’d think the team was in the midst of another January collapse that would have them plummeting towards the play-in tournament and have Mike Brown receiving his pink slip: Trailed 93-75 with 10:50 left in the […]

The disappearance of Mikal Bridges

With just 13 games left to go in the regular season, it’s go time for the New York Knicks. The boys in orange and blue have won their last three outings, and after a lengthy west coast road trip, should be excited to stick around the eastern time zone for their next few games. As […]

What NBA expansion could mean for the Knicks

There have been murmurs for a few years now that the NBA has been considering an expansion from the current 30 teams to 32 teams. While nothing has been confirmed yet, Shams Charania of ESPN reported on Monday morning that the league has decided to hold a vote at the Board of Governors meetings later […]

P&T Interview: Jose Alvarado on ACC glory, pitbull defense, and life after the trade

You can’t talk with Jose Alvarado for 15 minutes and not be charmed. Last Thursday, I had the opportunity to chat with the new Knickerbocker and the same exuberance he brings to the court came through our Zoom screen. One of my favorite moments of the season was when Alvarado scored his first basket as […]

Knicks Bulletin: ‘Hell yeah, that was a ball, man!’

For some reason, the Knicks have decided to play down to the level of their opponents. Nearly lost in Indianapolis. Damningly close to dropping one to a G League-like Warriors. Will it finally happen when the Pacers visit MSG on Tuesday? Here’s what the protagonists had to say, including Steve Kerr. Mike Brown On whether […]

Knicks 110, Warriors 107: “It shouldn’t be this hard.”

The Warriors (32-35) entered Madison Square Garden with eight rotational players sidelined by injury, including Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Kristaps Porzingis, and Jimmy Butler. The Knicks (44*-25) were playing their first home contest after a five-game road trip and even though their last two games were unconvincing wins against lesser opponents, we figured tonight’s tilt […]

Knicks Week Preview: March 15-21, 2026

Greetings from the greater Boston area. Your intrepid blogger is deep behind enemy lines because young Rowan competed in a karate tournament here (and took gold for his form demonstration, woot!). I’m wearing my Knicks gear proudly to the dismay of these green-gilled goons. As for the Knicks this week, they should run the table. […]

Knicks Bulletin: ‘You asked me how my 3-point shooting is. It sucks’

Of course, Indiana had to mess with New York. Of course, the Knicks beat the Pacers. Here’s the latest from those who did and did not play on Friday. Mike Brown On Mitchell Robinson’s load management paying off: “It’s obviously shown that it’s paid off, because of his ability to, knock on wood, stay on […]

Knicks 101, Pacers 92: “Mitch is killing it.”

Gainbridge Fieldhouse is a house of horrors for the Knicks. There are other places, namely Utah and Los Angeles lately, that have given the Knicks’ fits, but there’s no place that just hurts more to play at than Indianapolis. The Pacers (15-52) are trying to lose. They’ve load-managed as many players as humanly possible for […]

Game Thread: Knicks at Pacers, March 13, 2026

The Knicks (42*-25) visit the Indiana Pacers (15-51) tonight at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. New York is favored by A LOT because Indy has the league’s worst record and generally stinks. Yet do not be fooled by their extensive injury list (Siakam, Nesmith, McConnell, Toppin, and Jackson are all OUT) nor tempted by hubris, Knickerbockers. Coach Rick […]

Should Knicks fans be worried about Jalen Brunson?

Over the last three and a half seasons, Jalen Brunson has become one of the premier players in the league. He’s a three-time All-Star who has made the All-NBA Second Team twice, is constantly heralded as one of the best scorers in the league, and he’s coming off a Clutch Player of the Year Award. […]

Knicks Bulletin: ‘Jordy McClarkson’

I started to watch Wednesday’s game and thought about quitting for a minute. Only then did I realize we had Jordan Clarkson sitting on the bench, so it was just a matter of time for the Knicks to flip the script. Here’s the latest from your superheroes in a JC-heavy chapter of the bulletin. Mike […]

Knicks 134, Jazz 117: “Clarkson’s professionalism is pretty awesome”

This was supposed to be a get-right game. After losing twice in Los Angeles, the Knicks (42*-25) had a golden opportunity to flex their muscles against the Western Conference’s second-worst team, the Jazz (20-46). Instead, a poor defensive effort let Utah hit nearly everything from downtown in the first half (14 threes) and New York […]
