Who Should the Knicks Want in the NBA Finals? The Thunder vs. Spurs Debate
Now that the Knicks have swept the Cavs in the Eastern Conference Finals and won 11 straight playoff games, they must wait for a winner to be crowned in the West.

ECF Game Thread: Knicks at Cavaliers, Game 4, May 25, 2026
The Knicks return to Rocket Arena tonight, leading the Eastern Conference Finals 3-0 over the exhausted Cavaliers.

How Landry Shamet became the Knicks’ unlikeliest hero
Everyone loves an underdog. Everyone loves a good story. The most satisfying thing about sports is when someone comes out of nowhere and becomes a folk legend. Linsanity.

Knicks 121, Cavaliers 108: “Well well well. It really is happening.”
Trying to match the star power of Madison Square Garden, Rocket Arena sat Taylor Swift and her dunce, Travis Kelce, courtside for Game Three of the Eastern Conference Finals. Nice try, we say. In the stands and on the court, the Cavaliers are outmatched in this series. No NBA team has ever come back from […]

Knicks Bulletin: ‘They’re a lamp post to a drunk person’
We’ve really reached a point where the Knicks simply walk on the court, move around a bit, put on a half-baked effort, and beat teams by 20.

Knicks 109, Cavs 93: Scenes from Josh Hart’s turn
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.
