Knicks Bulletin: ‘We’re still trying to figure out the system’

This must be the most worrying piece of Knicks quotes I’ve put together to date. Why? Check for yourself. Hint? Read the headline again. 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 […]

What is the best way to use Jeremy Sochan and Mo Diawara?

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, […]

Cavaliers 109, Knicks 94: Scenes from a yawn disguised as a game

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 […]

Game Preview: Knicks at Cavaliers, February 24, 2026

Tonight, New York Knicks (37*-21) take on Donovan Mitchell and the Cleveland Cavaliers (36-22) at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. A win would give the third-place Knicks some breathing room over the fourth-place Cavaliers, but that’s easier said than done. Despite their recent loss to the Thunder, the Ohio Players have been on a tear of […]

The Knicks are a a good team. Stop acting like they aren’t

This hasn’t been the dream season we envisioned entering the year. If you came from the future and told everyone the Knicks would be the No. 3 seed and considerably behind the No. 1 seed in late February, I’d imagine near-universal disappointment. That’s fine, that’s reasonable. What’s not reasonable is the way some people act […]

Knicks Bulletin: ‘I understand it’s something that we need to talk about’

New York half-baked its play for the greater part of Sunday’s affair… …but turned up the heat late and did enough to win another game. Here’s a bunch of stuff said of late by your Knicks superheroes. Mike Brown On Robinson’s absence on Sunday and his back-to-back management: “Obviously, he hasn’t played a back-to-back yet. […]

Knicks 105, Bulls 99: Scenes from a clutch KAT finish

Last night in NYC, the Knicks (37*-21) found another gear to steal one from Houston, while the Bulls (24-34) dropped their eighth straight against Detroit. With both teams on the second night of a back-to-back, we expected fatigue to be a factor. What we didn’t expect was Karl-Anthony Towns (28 PTS, 11 RBS, 5-9 3PT) […]

Game Thread: Knicks at Bulls, February 22, 2026

Playing the second game of a back-to-back, the New York Knicks (36*-21) face the Chicago Bulls (24-33) tonight at United Center. The Bulls list Anfernee Simons as day-to-day with a wrist issue and Jaden Ivey out with knee soreness. The Knicks are heavily favored thanks to Chicago’s eight-game skid and general stinkability. Tip-off at 8 […]

Fresh off a fourth-quarter heist at the Garden, the Knicks (36*-21) head to the United Center to face the Chicago Bulls (24–33). The matchup gives New York a chance to firm up its hold on third place against a Bulls team that has lost as many consecutive games as an octopus has arms. (That’s eight, […]

Knicks Bulletin: ‘We found a way’

The Knicks looked like they were about to put us into another deep depression… …until they didn’t. Oh, boy, they didn’t. Here’s everything to know about the night in which New York sent KD back to Twitter. Mike Brown On comeback resilience: “We found a way, that’s what I’m most excited about; we found a […]

Knicks Week Preview: Feb. 22-28, 2026

Game Preview: Knicks vs Rockets, February 21, 2026

In Thursday’s loss to Detroit, every Knicks (35*-21) drive into the paint looked like a LaMelo Ball driver’s ed video. Tonight, they hope for better results when they host the Houston Rockets (34-20) at the Mecca. This nationally televised tilt is a match-up of two third-place teams. The Knicks have gone 7-3 in their last […]

Knicks Bulletin: ‘It builds a confidence going into a series’

The Knicks aren’t winning it all this season. Assuming they finish the regular season with a top-three seed, they’ll only meet the Pistons in the ECF. That’s it, that’s where everything will end. The season won’t last past that. Mike Brown On Towns’ comfort in offense: “He’s comfortable. We’re continuing to try to do different […]

Pistons 126, Knicks 111: “Kinda contentious”

Broadway. CBGBs (RIP). The Apollo. Yankee Stadium (RIP). Ain’t a patch of terra firma anywhere else on the whole damn terra can rival the platforms NYC does. Madison Square Garden’s on that list, where last night Cade Cunningham was Sinatra, the Beatles, James Brown and Michael Jordan in a 126-111 Detroit Pistons win. The Knicks […]

Pistons 126, Knicks 111: Scenes from miss after miss after miss. . . .

Tonight at Madison Square Garden, the Detroit Pistons (41-13) completed a three-game sweep of the Knicks (35*-21), 126-111. The first half was physical and fast.

Knicks Bulletin: ‘One hundred percent, I sacrificed for the team’

Knicks basketball is back as New York takes on Detroit for a third and final time this season. The Pistons won the first two meetings easily, but they have their two brutes—Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart—suspended for Thursday. Knicks, please. Mike Brown On the losses to the Pistons ahead of Thursday’s matchup: “Yeah it should. […]

Game Preview: Knicks vs Pistons, Feb. 19, 2026

In sports, marriages, and baby juggling, sometimes the third time’s a charm. After losing to them twice this season, by a combined 69 points, the very determined Knicks (35*-20) host the Detroit Pistons (40-13) at Madison Square Garden tonight. Gluttons for punishment?
