You can’t talk with Jose Alvarado for 15 minutes and not be charmed. Last Thursday, I had the opportunity to chat with the new Knickerbocker and the same exuberance he brings to the court came through our Zoom screen. One of my favorite moments of the season was when Alvarado scored his first basket as […]

Will it finally happen when the Pacers visit MSG on Tuesday? Here’s what the protagonists had to say, including Steve Kerr. Mike Brown On whether […]

The Warriors (32-35) entered Madison Square Garden with eight rotational players sidelined by injury, including Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Kristaps Porzingis, and Jimmy Butler. The Knicks (44*-25) were playing their first home contest after a five-game road trip and even though their last two games were unconvincing wins against lesser opponents, we figured tonight’s tilt […]

Greetings from the greater Boston area. Your intrepid blogger is deep behind enemy lines because young Rowan competed in a karate tournament here (and took gold for his form demonstration, woot!). I’m wearing my Knicks gear proudly to the dismay of these green-gilled goons. As for the Knicks this week, they should run the table. […]

Of course, Indiana had to mess with New York. Of course, the Knicks beat the Pacers. Here’s the latest from those who did and did not play on Friday. Mike Brown On Mitchell Robinson’s load management paying off: “It’s obviously shown that it’s paid off, because of his ability to, knock on wood, stay on […]

Gainbridge Fieldhouse is a house of horrors for the Knicks. There are other places, namely Utah and Los Angeles lately, that have given the Knicks’ fits, but there’s no place that just hurts more to play at than Indianapolis. The Pacers (15-52) are trying to lose. They’ve load-managed as many players as humanly possible for […]

The Knicks (42*-25) visit the Indiana Pacers (15-51) tonight at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. New York is favored by A LOT because Indy has the league’s worst record and generally stinks. Yet do not be fooled by their extensive injury list (Siakam, Nesmith, McConnell, Toppin, and Jackson are all OUT) nor tempted by hubris, Knickerbockers. Coach Rick […]

He’s a three-time All-Star who has made the All-NBA Second Team twice, is constantly heralded as one of the best scorers in the league, and he’s coming off a Clutch Player of the Year Award. […]

I started to watch Wednesday’s game and thought about quitting for a minute. Only then did I realize we had Jordan Clarkson sitting on the bench, so it was just a matter of time for the Knicks to flip the script. Here’s the latest from your superheroes in a JC-heavy chapter of the bulletin. Mike […]

Tuesday night was fascinating for me as a sports fan. I started my night by watching my college’s depressingly bad basketball team lose to Northwestern to end its season in the Big Ten tournament, then switched the channel to watch Team USA lose in embarrassing fashion to Italy in the World Baseball Classic. At the […]

This was supposed to be a get-right game. After losing twice in Los Angeles, the Knicks (42*-25) had a golden opportunity to flex their muscles against the Western Conference’s second-worst team, the Jazz (20-46). Instead, a poor defensive effort let Utah hit nearly everything from downtown in the first half (14 threes) and New York […]

New York has gone against the Wizards, Pacers, Bulls, and the Bucks—all of those matchups sandwiched in between the aforementioned ones—but for the most part, the Knicks have had test after test over […]

History was made yesterday, and it was made in the most bizarre of ways. Didn’t involve the Knicks, but it surely did involve a bunch of shaddy fouling, freebies… and #HeatCulture, amirite? New York is playing the Jazz tonight. Who says Landry Shamet cannot hit 130 on the dot? Anyway, here’s the latest from our […]

It’s over. The Knicks have finally completed the final gauntlet on their regular-season schedule.

The Knicks flew to LA, and they made sure to make it look like Hollywood lights don’t translate to winning nights—for New York, at least. The Knickerbockers will remain on the road for a couple more games, yet they will surely get a break as Utah and Indy come up next. Here’s the latest from […]

With last night’s 126–118 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, their second straight defeat, and the Cleveland Cavaliers beating the Philadelphia 76ers 115–101, the cushion the New York Knicks once had in the standings is suddenly very thin. New York now holds just a half-game lead over Cleveland for the No. 3 seed in the […]
