Preseason Game Thread: Knicks vs. Raptors, October 15, 2026
The Knicks are back at the Garden tonight, wrapping up their preseason with a second rumble with the Raptors. On Tuesday in Toronto, the Canadian starters demolished the New York reserves by 50. In tonight’s final dress rehearsal, with Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, and the other Knicks’ starters playing, the fight should be a little […]
All the dumb moments that make this title so much sweeter: Part IV (2010-20)
The home stretch is here. In less than a week, the Knicks will raise their long-awaited third championship banner on national television at Madison Square Garden. It’s a day 53 years in the making. As we get closer, we continue to move along our chronicle of the 53-year championship drought. Today, we pick up after […]
Jalen Brunson named “Best Leader” in latest NBA GM Poll
The annual NBA GM poll was released on Thursday, and we got a rare result. A Knick leads one of the 48 questions that were asked to the executives. It wasn’t too long ago that you’d need a magnifying glass to find a mention of the Knicks in a positive light, but now they’re all […]
Preseason Game Preview: Knicks vs. Raptors, October 15, 2026
The Knicks host the Raptors (2-1) Thursday at Madison Square Garden in the final preseason game for both. Revenge? Do preseason scrimmages matter enough to call this a revenge game? Winning would be nice, though. The world champs have dropped all four of their preseason games, with the worst game of the bunch coming on […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘Stay diligent’
Four of the five Knicks starters didn’t board a plane north of the border, the fifth one didn’t play basketball on Tuesday, and it all showed badly. New York will host a preseason game for one final time on Thursday before dressing in gold for Tuesday’s banner night. Here’s the latest from Mike, James, and […]
Raptors 148, Knicks 98: Scenes from Kawhi’s return
Having played last night at home, coach Mike Brown rested his starters tonight in Toronto. His opening lineup included Jose Alvarado, Miles McBride, Bruce Brown, Mohamed Diawara, and James Wiseman. Across the aisle, Kawhi Leonard made his preseason debut as the team returned to Scotiabank Arena following a cross-country tour of showcase scrimmages. The Knicks […]
Preseason Game Thread: Knicks at Raptors, October 13, 2026
The 0-3 Knicks visit the 1-1 Toronto Raptors tonight at Scotiabank Arena for the fourth of five preseason contests. Karl-Anthony Towns, Jalen Brunson, OG Anunoby, Mikal Bridges and Josh Hart are all supposed to sit for rest after playing in last night’s loss to the T’Wolves. Meanwhile, Kawhi Leonard is penciled in for his first […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘In some way, shape, or form, I can see each of them contributing’
The Knicks won the championship and then seemingly forgot how to play basketball. Only, you know, it’s the preseason, so they might as well go 0-5 for all I care. Here’s the latest from the first half of a back-to-back series of games ending north of the border later today. Mike Brown On the competition […]
Preseason Game Preview: Knicks at Raptors, October 13, 2026
The ramp-up to the regular season continues tonight when the World Champion Knicks travel to Scotiabank Arena to face the Raptors. Toronto has split its first two scrimmages, beating the Clippers and falling to Miami, while New York has dropped three straight. Tonight’s tilt will be a showcase for the reserves, as coach Mike Brown […]
Timberwolves 122, Knicks 104: Scenes from another unimpressive dress rehearsal
Before tonight’s scrimmage, there was talk of coach Chris Finch resting his starters. Fat chance. Only Jonathan Kuminga sat tonight for the Minnesota Timberwolves (3-1), since everyone wants to play at Madison Square Garden, the grandest basketball stage in the world. Indeed, the visitors looked determined to announce themselves while the defending champs (0-3) still […]
Preseason Game Thread: Knicks vs. Timberwolves, October 12, 2026
The World Champion Knicks host the Minnesota Timberwolves (2-1) at Madison Square Garden on Monday night. New York is still looking for its first preseason win after two unsuccessful tries (we’re not worried). Minny has swapped out Julius Randle and Naz Reid for LaMelo Ball and Jonathan Kuminga, but you might not see them at […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘Very disappointed, to say the least’
The Knicks are back in action today, hosting the Wolves at MSG this evening. By chance, have you heard anything about contract issues and pending extensions? Yeah, me neither. Here’s the latest from Coach, KAT, and a couple folks in the know. Mike Brown On what might help Pacome Dadiet earn more minutes: “The first […]
Preseason Game Preview: Knicks vs. Timberwolves, October 12, 2026
The World Champion New York Knicks have lost their first two preseason games and we are resoundingly unconcerned. Winning all the marbles has quite a calming effect on the nervous system. Tonight, they host the Minnesota Timberwolves (2-1) at Madison Square Garden. The furry bunch has shed Julius Randle and Naz Reid, but added LaMelo […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘We’re gonna have each other’s back, regardless’
No Knicks basketball on Sunday; what did you expect on the day we all have for resting and disconnecting? (As if I ever do lol) However, New York folks keep logging practices and sending quotes out to the world for us to enjoy. Here’s the latest from Tarrytown before Monday’s clash against the LaMelo-Ant Wolves. […]
On This Date in Knicks History: NY signs Trey Burke
Imagine being 25 years old and having to prove that you are not washed up. I have thought a lot about James Wiseman over the last few weeks. He’s heading (he hopes) into his sixth NBA season, playing for (he hopes) his fourth team. Along the way, he’s suffered at least two major injuries, missed […]
Three winners and three losers from Knicks’ first two preseason games
The Knicks are back to playing basketball and are less than two weeks away from opening night. They’ve started 0-2, which nobody really cares about, but we’ve also now seen enough minutes from the exhibition matches to get a glimpse of who the winners and losers have been in the early portion of the preseason. […]
Knicks’ announcement means bad news for everybody, including New York
While the Knicks and their fans have spent much of the summer celebrating their first championship in 53 years, the upcoming contract situations of a few players have loomed over their heads. And if said players wanted to secure their futures before the start of the season, they were in for a good dose of […]
All the dumb moments that make this title so much sweeter: Part III (2001-10)
We’re getting closer and closer to basketball, ladies and gentlemen. Can you smell it? Preseason kicked off in South Philly on Monday, and the Knicks played a basketball game in the World’s Most Famous Arena for the first time since OG Anunoby’s Game 4 heroics last night. Before you know it, in 11 days time, […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘We will remain solely focused on preparing for the start of the season’
The Knicks lost their second consecutive official scrimmage on Thursday… …only for the organization to announce on Friday morning that nope, they ain’t budging and entering contract-extension negotiations any time soon. Gotta love how the outside world sees this as the excrement hitting the fan while we are here resting easy still enjoying the championship. […]
Preseason Game Thread: Knicks vs. Wizards, October 8, 2026
The World Champion Knicks (0-1) return to Madison Square Garden tonight for their first home appearance since defeating the Spurs in June. Monday’s 120-97 loss in Philadelphia featured brief starter minutes, 20 Knicks, and a ton of missed threes. Mike Brown wants more physicality tonight, and some made shots would be nice, too. Washington (0-0) […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘At the end of the day, everybody has a short-term memory’
New York will watch the Knicks play basketball inside the Garden for the first time since they waved them goodbye after the Game 4 win over the Spurs and before they hoisted the Larry O’B back in Texas. The MSG faithful will have to wait a couple of weeks for the unveiling of the banner(s?), […]
Preseason Game Preview: Knicks vs. Wizards, October 8, 2026
The Knicks (0-1) host the Wizards (0-0) tonight in their first return to the court at 4 Pennsylvania Plaza since sinking the Spurs in June. New York seeks to rebound from a 97-120 loss in Philadelphia, where the starters played around 15 minutes each and Mike Brown fielded 20 players. For the Wiz, it will […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘I heard that all summer’
As we patiently wait for the Knicks to host the Wiz Kiz on Thursday… …here are the latest quotables from around Tarrytown and elsewhere. Mike Brown On the Knicks’ lack of physicality against Philadelphia: “What bothers me is our lack of physicality throughout the ball game, and that’s the whole roster up and down. We […]
The very second apron that paved the way for their title seeks to destroy the Knicks
Sports are cyclical. It’s very rare for a team to stay on top for a prolonged period of time, just the same as it’s rare for a team to stay in the doldrums for a long time. Smart organizations can keep championship windows open, and dumb organizations can keep shooting themselves in the foot, but […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘Definitely heartbreaking’
The New York Knicks officially unofficially played basketball yesterday, and I can’t be happier about an opponent’s win. As Russell said in his Scenes, we’ll give them belt when it counts, but for now, all I needed was some Orange and Blue hoops in my screen. Here’s the latest from NYK world coming off Monday’s […]
