We knew it before the series started, and tonight we saw the proof again: the Cavaliers just can’t match the offensive depth of New York. While Cleveland relied on Donovan Mitchell (26 PTS), the husk of James Harden, and their two big men, all five Knicks starters logged double-digit points. Late into the fourth quarter, […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers chose to give up an inexplicably large run earlier in Game 2 than they did on Tuesday. Eighteen unanswered points from the New York Knicks turned what was a tie game into an insurmountable lead, given how Cleveland shot the ball. The Knicks cruised to an easy 109-93 victory to take a […]

The Eastern Conference Finals resume tonight at Madison Square Garden with the Knicks holding a 1-0 series lead after Tuesday’s astonishing comeback victory over Cleveland. Donovan “Spida” Mitchell remains fully capable of carrying Cleveland for stretches, but the Cavs were totally gassed late in Game 1, particularly James Harden, who shot terribly, committed a half-dozen […]
After a couple of decades out of the coaching business, former New York Knicks legendary coach Jeff Van Gundy made his way back in the past couple of seasons, as an assistant with the Los Angeles Clippers.

The serious basketball heads I know are ecstatic. The NBA Conference Finals have delivered three thrillers so far. Last night in the West, SGA and the Thunder tied their series with another slugfest against Wemby and the Spurs. On Tuesday, throughout most of their Game One, the Knicks looked rusty while the Cavaliers rode the […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers have had many demoralizing playoff losses in the past four seasons. Game 1 against the New York Knicks was among the worst. After proving through 40 minutes that they’re more than ready for the bright lights of the conference finals and a road game at Madison Square Garden, they reverted to their […]
The Knicks have shown the Nuggets a successful blueprint to follow.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have fallen apart late during several postseason games. That is their own doing. However, those collapses have usually been accompanied by missed calls down the stretch. Blowing a 22-point lead in the fourth quarter against the New York Knicks in Game 1 was no exception. The NBA’s Last Two Minute Report shows […]
Roses are red, Cleveland too. Sadly for them, today it’s all about the Orange and Blue. Here’s a humongous Bulletin off a ridiculous Game 1 comeback victory. Mike Brown On Brunson’s MVP-level performance: “Obviously, we don’t get it done if Jalen Brunson doesn’t play like one of the MVP guys in the league. He was […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers squandered a 22-point fourth-quarter lead in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the New York Knicks. Numerous things have to go wrong to give up an advantage that large. The defensive end was no exception. Jalen Brunson led the way with 15 points in the fourth quarter to help claw […]

Last night’s win will undoubtedly go down as one of the most memorable games for Knicks fans of all generations. It had a bad start, questionable decisions, a historic comeback, clutch shots, and big moments. But somewhat lost in all of the memories, and incredible on-court performances are some of the numbers that sound anywhere […]
I’ve never done time in San Quentin,but MSG must have felt like the legendary penitentiary.James might be able to tell youafter spending Tuesday at the venue. Torture chambers weren’t meantfor multipurpose arenas,but there they were.Intimidated, threatened, bullied,harassed, coerced, and terrorized.Ultimately, all of it combinedfor the men in black to get disgraced. Neither Mike nor Kenny […]
What. A. Game. The Knicks were down 93-71 with 7:40 left in Tuesday’s series opener at Madison Square Garden. No matter how optimistic you are, this game was over. At that moment in time, I was just trying to mentally move on to Game 2, the same way I did after that stunning loss to […]
Yesterday, I was playing tennis with my son when Shams announced that Dallas had fired head coach Jason Kidd after five seasons. My thoughts immediately turned to those rumors from last summer. Remember how the Knicks brass, needing to fill their own coaching vacancy, allegedly tried to finagle access to Kidd? In the end, they […]
Being able to bounce back from terrible losses has allowed the Cleveland Cavaliers to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time in eight years. They’ll need to do so again after they inexplicably blew a 22-point fourth-quarter lead and lost in overtime to the New York Knicks, 115-104, in Game 1. “We […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers fumbled a prime opportunity to steal Game 1 on the road. They crumbled at the end, blowing a 22-point lead in history fashion. Let’s go over today’s winners and losers. LOSER – Big Jim Harden James Harden just had perhaps the worst individual defensive performance in NBA Playoff history. Seriously, it was […]
I’m speechless. Wordless. The Knicks closed Game 1 of the conference finals against Cleveland on a 44-11 run, turning a 21-point deficit with less than eight minutes left in the fourth quarter into a 115-104 overtime win, the biggest postseason comeback in franchise history. I’ve seen more than 200 Knick playoff games. I’ve never seen […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers just had a total meltdown in Madison Square Garden. They did a whole lot of great things before the final seven minutes. That will make it hard to grade, so bear with me here. All grades are based on our usual expectations for each player. Donovan Mitchell 29 points, 5 rebounds, 3 […]
