The New York Knicks (41*-25) face the Utah Jazz (20-45) tonight at Delta Center in Salt Lake City. Josh Hart is OUT for New York with left knee soreness, while Utah is missing Lauri Markkanen (hip), Walker Kessler (shoulder), Jusuf Nurkic (nose), and Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee), and lists Keyonte George as questionable (illness). Tip […]
Nuggets, Pistons, Celtics, Rockets, Cavaliers, Spurs, Raptors, Thunder and Lakers. Those are some of the teams the Knicks have played since February. New York has gone against the Wizards, Pacers, Bulls, and the Bucks—all of those matchups sandwiched in between the aforementioned ones—but for the most part, the Knicks have had test after test over […]
The Knicks (41*-25) visit the Utah Jazz (20-45) tonight at Delta Center in Salt Lake City tonight. New York aims to maintain their position near the top of the East while the Jazz continue to fight for the worst record in the West. Over their last ten games, the Knicks have gone 6-4while the Jazz […]
History was made yesterday, and it was made in the most bizarre of ways. Didn’t involve the Knicks, but it surely did involve a bunch of shaddy fouling, freebies… and #HeatCulture, amirite? New York is playing the Jazz tonight. Who says Landry Shamet cannot hit 130 on the dot? Anyway, here’s the latest from our […]
It’s over. The Knicks have finally completed the final gauntlet on their regular-season schedule. Beginning on February 4 with a double-overtime victory against Denver, the Knicks played 16 games, with 12 against teams in playoff position. The 34-day stretch saw the team face Detroit and Denver twice, San Antonio, Boston, Cleveland, Philly, Houston, Toronto, and […]
The Knicks flew to LA, and they made sure to make it look like Hollywood lights don’t translate to winning nights—for New York, at least. The Knickerbockers will remain on the road for a couple more games, yet they will surely get a break as Utah and Indy come up next. Here’s the latest from […]
With last night’s 126–118 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, their second straight defeat, and the Cleveland Cavaliers beating the Philadelphia 76ers 115–101, the cushion the New York Knicks once had in the standings is suddenly very thin. New York now holds just a half-game lead over Cleveland for the No. 3 seed in the […]
Still smarting from the previous day’s drubbing by the Lakers, the Knicks (41*-25) bounced over to the Intuit Dome to challenge the LA Clippers (32-32). Redemption was not in the cards, however. The visitors spent most of the night digging out of holes they had dug themselves. 20 turnovers, cold shooting, and long Clippers runs […]
After yesterday’s stinker against the Lakers, the Knicks (41*-24) get an LA mulligan against the Clippers (31-32) at the Intuit Dome. LA has gone 25-11 after a 6-21 start, powered by Kawhi Leonard’s monster year (27.9 PPG). Fatigue could be a concern for our heroes in this one, especially for Cap, who logged 42 minutes […]
Yesterday afternoon, the Knicks Knicks (41*-24) laid an egg in Los Angeles against the Lakers. Tonight brings a chance for redemption as they challenge the Clippers (31-32) at the Intuit Dome. Over their last ten games, both New York and the Clips have gone 6-4. They last met on January 7, when the ‘Bockers won […]
Sunday. Matinee game. Loss. Against the LA Lakers to put the cherry on top. Here’s a whole lot of stuff said in frustration before the Knicks cross the street to face the Clips. Mike Brown On turnovers, low free throws, and losing the offensive board battle being a recipe for disaster: “18 turnovers, 30 free […]
The Knicks (41*–23) visit the Lakers (38–25) at Crypto.com Arena in a nationally televised tilt. Los Angeles ranks middle-of-the-pack on both ends (12th in offense, 15th in defense) and is powered by Luka Dončić (32.5 PPG), Austin Reaves (23.5 PPG), and LeBron James (GTD, elbow). Favored to win, the Knicks will look to exploit the […]
The NBA play-in tournament is just over a month away, making every game count. With that, we’ve decided to give you, the fans, a watching guide. We’ll keep this post updated as much as possible, so you know exactly which non-Knicks team you should be rooting for and against going forward, with a deep postseason […]
Say, whatever happened to those Knicks that were a disgrace to basketball during a 2-9 stretch, which saw them play some of the worst defense the NBA has ever seen? Wait, what do you mean that team has now been the best defense in basketball for six weeks? It’s been a weird year. The Knicks […]
The Knicks (41*-23) play the Lakers (38-25) today at crypto.com Arena in a nationally televised contest. The Knicks have won seven of their last ten games, while the Lakers are six and four over the same span. This game marks their second and final matchup of the season. When they last met on February 1, The […]
Greetings from Brooklyn, NY, where your intrepid reporter and family are visiting his stepson in beautiful Bensonhurst. Also on the road: the New York Knicks! Our heroes kicked off their five-game road trip with a merciless slaughter of the Nuggets in Denver on Friday night. This week they continue to earn their frequent flyer miles […]
It looked like New York was in for a tough and long one in Denver on Friday… …until it was not, as the Knicks put on a show and trounced the Nuggets a few miles away from South Park. Here’s a bunch of quotes from all of our folks. Mike Brown On the team still […]
On Thursday, the Nuggets (39-25) played a hard-fought game against the Lakers. The after-effects were apparent tonight, as they were far more winded than the visiting Knicks (41*-23). Add to their woes a Jamal Murray injury in the first half and a scorching performance by OG Anunoby, and the Nuggets were waving a white flag […]
The Knicks (40*-23) will be at Ball Arena tonight to face the Nuggets (39-24), hoping to complete a season sweep. Denver boasts the league’s most potent offense—first in offensive rating, scoring, and shooting efficiency—led by Nikola Jokić and Jamal Murray, who’s been on a scoring tear. New York has ratcheted up their defense of late, […]
While the Knicks have enjoyed a nice little 15-5 stretch that has seen their defensive rating jump into the top 10, and come away with victories against some good teams like the Spurs, Raptors, Rockets, Celtics, Lakers, and Nuggets, everyone knows that much of the Knicks’ postseason success rides on the availability of their backup […]
Lace up your hiking boots! Tonight the Knicks (40*-23) scale the mountains of Denver to face the Nuggets (39-24) at Ball Arena. New York plans to leave with a season sweep in this cross-conference matchup. Our heroes have won six of their last ten games on the schedule, while Denver have split their last ten. […]
Karl-Anthony Towns is an enigma, a polarizing figure, and also happens to hold the keys to just how good the Knicks can be this season. KAT possesses a rare combination of talent and size that is matched by only a handful of basketball players in the world, and on many a night, we see plenty […]
If that was a Finals preview, I can only hope they started yesterday. The Knicks played tough and gave OKC fits on Wednesday—with Mitch Robinson load-managing—and showed what they can do when they put on their competitive suit. Here is the latest quoteboard. Mike Brown On liking the team’s competitive spirit vs. OKC: “I liked […]
The New York Knicks (40*-23) hosted the Oklahoma City Thunder (44-19) at Madison Square Garden tonight in a tight, uneven game played with tired legs. Both teams were on the second night of back-to-backs, and the fatigue showed at the end of this workout. The Thunder controlled the first half behind Chet Holmgren’s hot shooting, […]
The New York Knicks (40*-22) host the Oklahoma City Thunder (48–15) tonight at MSG, with both teams playing the second night of a back-to-back after wins.
