The Knicks face the Hawks tonight at State Farm Arena in Game six of their Eastern Conference first-round series. New York leads the series 3-2, and a win would close out the series, sending them to the second round to battle either the Boston Celtics (boo) or the Philadelphia 76ers (also boo). The Knicks mostly […]

Starting lineup: Please join in the comments below as you follow along. Where, When, and How to Watch and Listen Location: State Farm Arena, Atlanta, GA Start […]
A 3–2 series is maybe the trickiest one to gauge in sports. One team clearly has the advantage of needing to win just one of the remaining two games, and if said team was the winner of Game Five, as the Knicks were, then their confidence is likely high. But New York will be heading […]
The Knicks heat into Game Six in Atlanta with a chance to close out their first round series, but might have to do so without an essential piece. Josh Hart exited Tuesday’s 126–97 Game Five humiliation of the Hawks in the fourth quarter and never returned to the bench. Afterward, Mike Brown didn’t have much […]
When breaking down a playoff series, one can occasionally overthink things. They may look at matchups, schemes, depth, injuries, past matchups, and analytics. I’m guilty of that myself, and even did that for the Knicks’ current series against the Hawks. But Games Four and Five served as a friendly, but very loud, reminder that in […]
On January 19, the Knicks got absolutely blasted by the Dallas Mavericks in an embarrassing game at home on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. In the postgame recap, I likened it to an extremely similar game in an extremely similar situation against the same opponent in the same arena a few years ago. That game […]
No matter your prediction, it’s always the same story… Knicks in Six. Here’s the latest from MSG. Mike Brown On Brunson’s screen-setting ability: “The thing about him, he’s a great screen setter. He has a really good change of pace where he slips and stuff like that which can cause confusion.” On Anunoby and Towns […]
While us Knicks fans rejoiced during a Tuesday night beatdown of the Hawks that gave our ‘Bockers a 3-2 series lead, it was a pretty horrific day for the sport as a whole. Around the same time on Tuesday afternoon, the NCAA revealed its plans to expand the NCAA Tournament to 76 teams (yuck), and […]
The Atlanta Hawks dropped a pivotal Game 5 as they fell to a convincing 126-97 defeat to the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night. Jalen Johnson led the Hawks in scoring with 18 points, while Dyson Daniels added 17 points. For the Knicks, Jalen Brunson scored 39 points with OG Anunoby […]
In Tuesday’s Brotherhood Playoff Action, Philadelphia mauled Boston, 113-97, New York hammered Atlanta, 126-97, and San Antonio eliminated Portland, 114-95. Jayson Tatum finished with 24 points, 16 rebounds, 4 assists and three steals for the Celtics. Boston is still up 3-2, but they could have closed the Sixers out. Too bad. The Knicks are up […]
Game Five is in the books, and in it New York (3-2) picked up where they left off in the previous contest, slapping down the Atlanta Hawks with another (essentially) wire-to-wire win. Steadily piling on the points quarter after quarter until their lead reached 32 in the fourth, the Knicks rode a 39-point, eight-assist performance […]
The Knicks (2-2) host the Atlanta Hawks tonight at Madison Square Garden in Game Five of their first-round Eastern Conference playoff series.

The East is so bad we might on the other side of the bracket… …that we’ll have an anticipated ECF matchup in the second round of the playoffs. Knicks vs. Celtics for an NBA Finals berth. You bet? Mike Brown On adjusting the offense around Brunson and Towns: “Obviously, trying to get KAT the ball […]
The New York Knicks host the Atlanta Hawks tonight at Madison Square Garden in Game Five of their first-round playoff series, tied 2–2. The winner takes command, while the loser will return to Atlanta pondering an elimination game. Need it be said? The Knicks are the better team. They have led for 92% of the […]
Only one more sleep. Fewer than 34 hours. Hawks at Knicks, Game 5 at MSG. Let’s beat ‘em birds. Mike Brown On Josh Hart’s defense in Game 4: “Josh was really good on the ball. Josh is a guy with quick feet, he’s strong and when he gets locked in, he’s locked in. His defensive […]
How low can the vibes get before you reach a point of no return? We got pretty close to that after the demoralizing beatdown the Knicks got at the hands of the shorthanded Mavericks back on MLK Day in January to fall to 2-9 in their last 11 games. Even throughout all the frustration in […]
The Hawks (2-2) had a listless Game 4 loss on Saturday meaning they’ve now squandered the home court advantage they picked up with their clutch win in Game 2. Certainly, there have been some disappointing performances from an individual player perspective. But let’s zoom out a tad and focus on a trio of tactics the […]

Here’s the latest following a promising outing from your Knickerbockers. Mike Brown On […]
Ninety seconds into the second half of last night’s 112-98 Knick win in Atlanta, cosplay analyst Reggie Miller declared the Hawks “on a heater.” In that minute and a half, they’d scored five points, cutting a 14-point deficit to nine. Reggie Miller is full of shit. Was as a player, is as an announcer. He […]
Down 2–1 and stinging from back-to-back one-point losses, the Knicks return to Atlanta for a pivotal Game Four needing to clean up their own mess. Despite controlling the glass and large stretches of play, late-game breakdowns, uneven free-throw shooting, and questionable rotations have tanked winnable games. Jalen Brunson has yet to take over the series, […]

Here’s the latest before the biggest game since the bounce that changed the Knicks’—now present—future. Mike Brown On a possible starting lineup change for […]
The Knicks head back to State Farm Arena for Game Four against the Hawks, down 2-1 in their first-round playoff series.

The Knicks can still win the series, but you’re forgiven for […]
