The Nuggets lost to the Knicks in double OT. Can we get these two behemoths going at each other for seven games in June’s Finals already? Here’s some of what was said after yesterday’s seventh-straight dub. Mike Brown On Jalen Brunson’s MVP-level performance against Denver: “That’s what an MVP candidate does. On a big stage, […]
We have a trade! Leon Rose might not have had the midseason blockbuster up his sleeve (OG Anunoby) or added an impact bench player (Derrick Rose, Josh Hart), but he almost always makes a move. In his six seasons now as Knicks president of basketball operations, he has made a midseason move in all six: […]
Tonight’s matchup at Madison Square Garden was destined to be a bruiser. Both teams played last night—the Knicks (32*-18) in a rout of Washington and Denver in a gutsy loss to Detroit. New York was riding a seven-game win streak. The Nuggets (33-18) had lost two in a row, but boast the league’s best offensive […]
The New York Knicks (32*-18) host the Denver Nuggets (33-18) tonight at Madison Square Garden. This game pits the second-place team in the East against the third-place team in the West for a potential playoff preview. Intrigued? During their current (…not five…not six…) seven-game winning streak, New York has clamped down at both ends of […]
I was so tired yesterday that I put the Knicks on and legitimately enjoyed watching them play a no-contest game against the Wiz Kiz with no stress baked into the affair. Now, for the drama and the nerves, here comes the NBA trade deadl—actually, scratch that. The Knicks ain’t trading for Giannis, fam. Here’s a […]
Guerschon Yabusele arrived in New York this summer and had all of us kinda excited as one of only two free-agent additions made by the Knicks, along with microwave-scorer-turned-ice-cube Jordan Clarkson. Then, Yabu started to play a decreasing number of minutes and to have a lesser impact each passing day since training camp. On Tuesday, […]
The Knicks extended their winning streak to seven last night, shellacking the Washington Wizards in what felt like a home game, 132-101. It was the exact kind of win that inspires confidence, the kind of win where every single player who steps on the floor contributes in a big way. Four starters had 19 or […]
One day coach Brian Keefe will bring a football to practice and the Wizards will discover they’ve been playing the wrong sport all along. Until then, Washington (13-36) will continue to play their unique brand of NBA hoops. Tonight, they hosted the Knicks (32*-18), and there was so much orange and blue in the crowd […]
The Knicks (31*–18) visit the Washington Wizards (13–35) tonight at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. A win would extend New York’s win streak to seven and maintain their hold on second place in the East. The injury report lists Mitchell Robinson and Miles McBride out for New York,while Washington is missing Tre Johnson, Tristan […]
Tonight the Knicks (31*-18) are away on business, facing the Wizards (13-35) in Washington, D.C. A win tonight would extend New York’s winning streak to seven games, preserve their grip on second place, and avoid the embarrassment of losing to the Wizards. When these teams last met on Nov. 3, 2025, the Knicks won 119-102. […]
Coming into the season, nobody believed that the Knicks defense would be great. But even then, a roster that consists of OG Anunoby, an elite defender capable of defending all five positions, Mitchell Robinson, a premier shot altering big man, and Deuce McBride, one of the best point-of-attack defenders in the league, along with Mikal […]
The Los Angeles Lakers visited MSG and returned home without a win. Too bad, it turns out they ran into the hottest team in the league—that is, your New York Knicks. Here’s a lot of what was said before and after yesterday’s affair. Mike Brown On practice time and recent changes: “We’ve had a chance […]
At Madison Square Garden, the Knicks (31*-18) shook off a middling first half, outscored the Lakers 60–44 after halftime, and survived 15 lead changes to claim their sixth straight win, 112–100. From the jump, L.A. attacked home plate and New York tried their luck from the outfield. The strategy showed promise with the first two […]
The Knicks (30*-18), riding a five-game win streak, welcome the Lakers (29-18) to Madison Garden Tonight. A national audience will tune in to see Luka Dončić and LeBron James, leaders of a Los Angeles team that scores brilliant and defends much less so. Expect a tight game, which might be LeBron’s last appearance at MSG. […]
Karl-Anthony Towns is headed to L.A., folks. No, he didn’t get traded. The Big Bodega has been named to his sixth All-Star team, as revealed by the NBA on NBC pregame show on Sunday night. He will join Jalen Brunson in the All-Star Game for the second consecutive season. Towns is joined by Donovan Mitchell, […]
The NBA trade deadline is just four days away. By Thursday afternoon, pencils will be down across the NBA, and the teams will mostly be set. The Knicks, after a 7-8 month that saw them go from playing like the worst team in basketball to a five-game winning streak, are fishing in several different waters […]
The Knicks (30*-18) welcome the Lakers (29-18) to Madison Square Garden with the building buzzing again. New York has won five straight games (four by double digits) thanks to a top-10 defense, world-class rebounding, and an explosive offense. The team that was a reeking garbage pile just a couple of weeks ago smells fresh as […]
It’s trade week at last. By the end of Thursday, there could be a new Knick or two on the roster, and we might be bidding adieu to those who were dealt. Or maybe Leon Rose does nothing, that enigmatic minx. These are the Days of Our NBA. If you’ve been eating a gyro for […]
My mind’s been mush all week. There’s a bug going around the family that finally found me. My ADHD is turned up to 11. I’m absolutely burnt. The harder I try, the worse it gets, like your car’s stuck in the snow and you keep hitting the gas, going nowhere as the rut deepens. I’m […]
The Knicks being the Knicks are Knicking, of course, going from losing 9-of-11 to winning five consecutive games. Coming up next? The Lake Show at MSG on Sunday evening. Here’s what your current (and maybe future) superheroes had to say after yesterday’s trouncing of the PDX. Mike Brown On pushing through adversity in January: “We […]
When the Knicks (30*-18) battled the Portland Trail Blazers (23-26) earlier this month, they had struggled a bit to contain the youngsters, only putting the game away late in the fourth quarter. Tonight, New York was clearly intent on putting a stamp on the game early, and so they did with a 24-point first-half lead. […]
Tonight, New York (29*-18) hosts the Portland Trail Blazers (23–25) at Madison Square Garden in the teams’ second and final meeting of the season. The Knicks had their hands full when they tussled earlier this month, but if they apply the same defensive juice that’s fueled their four-game winning streak, this one should be far […]
The pendulum swings back and forth, as the Knicks have now won four games in a row after a brutal start to the new year. The team’s post-Thibodeau hangover looked real, as Mike Brown hung his hat on the offensive side of things. The strategy worked – until it didn’t. After another brutal loss at […]
Cue the Robert Randolph. Tonight New York (29*-18) will host the Portland Trail Blazers (23-25) at Madison Square Garden in their second and final meeting of the season. And this time the vibes are good. Friday night Knicks! Wee wheedle wheedle wheedle wheedle wump! Just last week the sky was falling in New York. They […]
When Tom Thibodeau was relieved of his duties after the Knicks’ unceremonious exit at the hands of the Indiana Pacers in May, there were a few prevailing grievances that led to the coach’s downfall. One of them was a stubbornness to lineup construction. Thibodeau’s defense always required a rim protector, preventing him from ever considering […]
