The Knicks decided they’d rather beat the in-conference Raptors than gamble on a win over the Thunder. Coach Brown used Mitch against Toronto, keeping him under wraps for the what-if matchup against the reigning champions. As KAT said, “Count your eggs.” Mike Brown On hanging defensively in a low-scoring third quarter against Toronto: “We came […]
The New York Knicks (40*-22) host the Oklahoma City Thunder (48–15) tonight at Madison Square Garden, both on the second night of back-to-backs. Yesterday in Toronto, the Knicks fought the Raptors to the end for victory, while the Thunder beat the Bulls in Chicago. Both teams have won three in a row. They last met […]
When Mike Brown was hired as the new honcho in July, it was abundantly clear that the Knicks would fundamentally change their offensive identity. And while the team has been pretty similar to last season in terms of offensive rating, efficiency, and their overall standing in the league, there’s one thing that’s been different: three-point […]

New York has defeated Toronto 11 […]
It took two games for Jose Alvarado to win the hearts of New Yorkers after the trade deadline. Honestly, Jose had our hearts a long time before that, and it was only a matter of time until he put on a Knicks uniform. But still: the moment had arrived. Finally, after years of Alvarado to […]

The Knicks just couldn’t beat good teams last year. This isn’t new information; it was highly publicized that the Knicks went 0-10 against the league’s three 60-win teams in the regular season. Did they change the narrative come playoff time when they miraculously knocked off the defending champions? Sure, but detractors pointed to that record […]
Will the Knicks go 16-0 in the playoffs? Maybe. Will the Knicks crash out in the first round? Equally probable. Turns out these are your Knickerbockers today. Black or white, white or black.

When I first started following the Knicks in 1991, they had three epic losing streaks going on. They hadn’t won in Boston, Chicago or Cleveland for years. Not two or three seasons — the better part of a decade. You don’t forget bullying. Skin remembers. Bones, too. Pro’ly why to this day I’ve at some […]
In case everything collapses in May, the Knicks showed Giannis what New York’s about on Friday.

Tonight at the Fiserv Forum, the visiting Knicks (38*-22) took on the suddenly hot Bucks (26-32), which we never saw coming given their gawky adolescent phase.

Mike Brown On the ugly loss to the Cavaliers: “An ugly game, obviously. We didn’t do much right defensively, we didn’t do much right offensively. Our turnovers in the first half […]
The Knicks have depth, but they’re still figuring out how to use it. The starting five, Mitchell Robinson, Jose Alvarado, and Landry Shamet are solidified. When Deuce McBride eventually returns from his sports hernia, he will be too. The battle for the ninth or tenth man, though, is up in the air. On one end, […]
The Knicks (37*-22) won two difficult games before they entered Rocket Arena to face the Cavaliers (37-22). In both wins—against the Rockets and the Bulls—there were the customary lulls we’ve come to expect from New York. Tonight, they topped that by going full lull, playing listless hoops from start to finish. They shot horribly from […]
