With the playoffs around the corner, questions and hypotheticals surrounding potential matchups have been a hot topic. While there are still a few potential outcomes, tonight’s matchup between the Knicks and Raptors could end up playing a large role in deciding who New York plays in the first round. So let’s break it down. If […]
In the second game of a back-to-back, the Knicks (52*-28) host the Raptors (44-35) tonight at Madison Square Garden. New York ranks third in the Eastern Conference, while riding a four-game win streak and having beaten the Celtics in a thriller last night, 112-106. The Raptors are scrappy but inconsistent, in a three-horse race with […]
Shout-out Mike Brown, your winningest first-year coach in Knicks history. Time to bag a couple more dubs, then get the real season started next Saturday or Sunday and extend it all the way to mid-June. Here’s the latest after your Knickerbockers broke Boston’s Harts on Thursday. Mike Brown On the win over Boston: “We did […]
If the games will be anything like tonight’s affair, a Knicks-Celtics playoff series would be a gift from the basketball gods, no? Tonight, the Boston Celtics (54-26) came into Madison Square Garden to face the New York Knicks (52*-28). While Boston has essentially locked up the No. 2 seed, the Knicks are fighting to hold […]
Tonight the Knicks (51*-28) host the Celtics (54-25) at Madison Square Garden. It’s an Eastern Conference showdown that could be a playoff-preview. Our heroes lead the season series 2-1. As of this writing, Boston’s injury report lists four starters, and there’s a chance that Joe Mazzulla will rest them, given that a win is not […]
The Knicks may have clearer weaknesses than any other team that considers themselves a contender. Their best player is an undersized negative defender, the offense can be stagnant despite posting strong numbers, the outside shooting can abandon them at times, and the starting lineup often digs themselves into deep holes to start out games. But […]
Jordan Clarkson’s season has been, in an odd way, a microcosm of the New York Knicks’ season that has encapsulated the team and their roller-coaster season. The former Sixth Man of the Year, his playing time, and quality of play may not have the most direct correlation with when the Knicks’ peaks and valleys have […]
Tomorrow night, the Knicks (51*-28) host the Celtics (54-25) at Madison Square Garden. The Knicks sit third in the Eastern Conference, riding a three-game win streak and going 7-3 in their last 10. New York has been solid on their home court (28-9) and will look to leverage that MSG advantage against a Celtics team […]
It’s been a whirlwind of a season for Karl-Anthony Towns. In training camp, he turned heads by stating that he was trying to figure out his role in Mike Brown’s offense. Then, after an uneven start, he played genuinely bad basketball for several weeks. His touches decreased, he got frustrated with his offensive whistle, and […]
The New York Knicks somehow, some way, silenced the doubters and the haters by beating a .500-plus team for the first time in a month. Y’all happy now? Here’s the latest and spiciest quotes coming straight outta Magic City. Mike Brown On the Brunson-Towns two-man game against the Hawks: “KAT and Jalen … they did […]

Last night, the New York Knicks eviscerated the Chicago Bulls from the opening tip, en route to the team’s third 40-point victory of the season. They entered as 14.5-point favorites against a Bulls team that, while tanking all the same as teams like Indiana, Utah, and Washington, were playing enough players that made you truly […]
Would you believe the Knicks beat the Bulls at MSG? Easy peasy victory, as New York reached FIFTY wins for the third consecutive season. S/o Thomas Joseph Thibodeau. Mike Brown On a fast start against Chicago: “Tonight we started the right way, and when we do, we might jump on somebody. It’s about making our […]
It was a nail-biter, for sure. They needed all 14 available players to do it, but the Knicks (50*-28) managed to escape the Bulls (29-48) tonight. Things got hairy when their 47-point lead was chipped to 36 with four minutes left in the fourth, but the closing crew of Tyler Kolek, Jose Alvarado, Pacome Dadiet, […]
Tonight, the Knicks (49*-28) host the Chicago Bulls (29-47) at Madison Square Garden. The matchup is important for New York as they fight to maintain the third seed ahead of the Cleveland Cavaliers and face four tough games on the remaining slate. As of this writing, both Josh Giddey and Tre Jones are questionable for […]
Tonight, the Chicago Bulls (29-47) are in town to face the Knicks (49*-28) at Madison Square Garden. New York remains third in the Eastern Conference and finally got back in the win column Wednesday night, snapping their road skid with a 130-119 victory. With the Cavs still breathing down their necks, the Knicks need to […]
The Knicks are in a bit of a rough patch as time winds down on the regular season. They just lost a handful of extremely unsettling games against playoff teams that have many questioning their effort and desire, have fans up in arms about the coach and believing he’s on the hot seat, and there’s […]
Who would have thought the Knicks would beat the Grizz… on the road, not least! Get-right game got New York on the right path again as the Knickerbockers are one win away from reaching 50 dubs for the third consecutive season. Two more wins, and Coach Brown would match Thibs’ best record in just his […]
Last night in Houston, the Knicks (49*-28) lost their third straight game, all on the road. It was possibly the least entertaining game we’ve watched all season, and New York played out of sync all night. Tonight, in the second of a back-to-back, they had a prime opportunity to regain their confidence against a Grizzlies […]
The Knicks (48*-28) visit the Memphis Grizzlies (25-50) tonight at FedExForum. New York hopes to end a three-game road slide and protect their third seed in the East.

New York sits third in the Eastern Conference and has already clinched a playoff berth, but the Cavs are nipping at New York’s heels, so every win matters as the Knicks try to solidify their positioning. Memphis, meanwhile, owns one of the worst records […]
If the Knicks don’t fix their excrement, New York is about to become first-round fodder. Adding insult to injury, the loss to Houston came on the first game of a back-to-back affair that has the Grizzlies on the schedule today. Imagine losing another one to the Teddy Bears. Sheesh… Mike Brown On starting games slowly: […]
The case for anyone being the greatest anything doesn’t interest me nearly as much as the perceived distance between first and second. You wanna say the greatest current baller’s SGA? Jokić? Wemby? Luka? Can’t argue, but I’d argue the difference between them isn’t all that significant: pair any with a couple of All-Stars and they […]
