I’m growing tired of writing short introductions for quote-board posts after losses. Can y’all win a game, please and thank you? Words below. Mike Brown On why the Pistons beat the Knicks on Monday: “It’s pretty simple. They just physically kicked our ass.” On defensive accountability and urgency: “Everything’s on the table right now for […]
In the midst of a three-game slide heading into tonight’s matchup with the Detroit Pistons, one would think that the Knicks would come into the game with a chip on their shoulders. They had sent Cade Cunningham and the Pistons packing last year in the first round in a 4-2 series win that was all […]
The New York Knicks (23*-12) are in Michigan this evening to face Cade Cunningham and the Eastern Conference-leading Detroit Pistons (26-9). The Pistons are tough on both ends of the floor, but they’ve been more beatable of late, losing three of their last five. Lucky for the visitors, Jalen Duren and Tobias Harris will both […]
Tonight in Michigan, the New York Knicks (23*-12) take the court at Little Caesars Arena to battle the conference-leading Detroit Pistons (26-9). On May 1, 2025, the Knicks closed out their first-round series with a Brunson bang, edging the Pistons 116–113 in Game 6 behind a dominant 40-point performance from Jalen. After leading most of […]
The Knicks and the Pistons are clashing tonight for the first time this season in a No. 1 vs. No. 2 showdown. Too bad the game is at Pizza Palace and not MSG. Here’s some of what’s been said in the last few hours. Mike Brown On the Knicks’ offensive identity breaking down: “It’s been […]
The New York Knicks head into the week at a moment when things feel slightly unsettled. They’re still frontrunners for best of the conference, if not the league, but they’re searching for traction after a rough stretch. A tough road test, a brief return home, and a late-night stop out West will offer a clearer […]
The Knicks let another one slip and they’re now navigating a three-game skid. New York welcomed back the Twin towers but that could prevent the Sixers from snatching the win Here’s what Coach Mike and a few of those involved said before and after yesterday’s game. Mike Brown On the Knicks facing adversity: “We are […]
For the second time this season, the New York Knicks (23*-12) have lost three straight games. It’s too early to panic, but measured concern is completely acceptable. In tonight’s first quarter, the Knicks leaned on Jalen Brunson, while the Philadelphia 76ers (19-14) answered with Tyrese Maxey’s unfettered scoring and Joel Embiid’s interior play to take […]
Twenty-four hours after losing to the Atlanta Hawks, the New York Knicks (23*-11) return to the court to face the Philadelphia 76ers (18-14). It’s a rematch with a Sixers team that defeated them here in December. Last night, the Knicks played without Towns, Hart, and Robinson and shot 21% from downtown. Tonight, they should have […]
After spinning their wheels in the mud against the Hawks last night, the New York Knicks (23*-11) are back in action tonight, taking on the Philadelphia 76ers (18-14). The Knicks sit two games behind the Detroit Pistons in the Eastern Conference, while the Sixers rank fifth. Last night’s effort at Madison Square Garden ended in […]
The Knicks decided to drop the first leg of a back-to-back affair so they can beat the 76ers nicely today. What did you expect? Here’s the latest from the protagonists of Friday’s disaster. Mike Brown On the Knicks failing to defend when shots weren’t falling: “The shot’s not falling, where else are we gonna hang […]
Tonight, a shorthanded New York Knicks (23*-11) squad hosted the Atlanta Hawks (17-19). The home team played without Karl-Anthony Towns (illness), Josh Hart (ankle), and Mitchell Robinson (ankle), which was to their detriment, while the visitors played without Trae Young, which was to Atlanta’s advantage. The score was close in the first quarter, but started […]
The Knicks (23*-10) return to Madison Square Garden, looking to extend their dominance over the Atlanta Hawks (16-19). This is a rematch of last Saturday’s game, which New York nearly gave away down the stretch, and marks the second of their three-game season series. This time out, we don’t expect Onyeka Okongwu to make 6-of-10 […]
Happy New Year, P&Ters! After blowing a 19-point first-half lead to the San Antonio Spurs (who were without Victor Wembanyama for much of the fourth quarter) on New Year’s Eve, the Knicks (23-10) will look to bounce back by taking down the Atlanta Hawks (16-19) for the second time in about a week. The Hawks […]
After leading the New York Knicks to a 10-4 record and averaging 30.6 PPG, 7.1 APG, and 40.5% from deep, Jalen Brunson was an obvious choice for the Eastern Conference’s Kia NBA Player of the Month. Taking the honor in the Western Conference, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander averaged 31.4 ppg, 6.1 apg, 59.4 FG%. His Oklahoma City […]
2025 was a fun year. The Knicks played 101 total meaningful games in 2025. They went 51-31 in regular-season games and 10-8 in the postseason. When you add in the uncounted NBA Cup Final victory, the Knicks won 62 games in 2025, one of the most in recent memory (they did win more in 2024). […]
The Knicks decided it was better to finish 2025 on a losing note, so karma balances out in 2026 and they can win the championship. One step backwards, two steps forward. Here’s some old stuff from last year. Mike Brown On Landry Shamet’s defensive value and skill set: “Shamet and McBride are our best on-ball […]
Happy New Year, fans. Tonight your New York Knicks (23*-9) travel to San Antonio to face the Spurs (23-9*) to ring in 2026. It’s a rematch of the NBA Cup final, which the Knicks won by being better down the stretch. They’ll be without Mitchell Robinson and Josh Hart tonight, making this an even tougher […]
2025 has been a hectic year for the Knicks. It started in January with the rapid decline of what looked like one of the best starting lineups in the league. And as the team stumbled through much of February and March, it looked like one with little hope. But a memorable playoff run that included […]
Having the same coach for a long time means you take the good and the bad for granted. In the case of Tom Thibodeau, it meant two things in particular. First, the Knicks would come out playing their hardest every single night. No question. The guys out there on the floor would give it their […]
Foul baiter, flopper, not ethical, unwatchable, disgusting. Jalen Brunson and his game have been called all of these things. But these opinions are voiced rarely, if ever, by people who actually watch and know basketball. These lazy and statistically false narratives are often perpetuated by those who are either salty after losing to Brunson and […]
Against all odds and a horn “malfunction,” the Knicks still got a road dub on Monday. New York visited New Orleans and dropped the Pelicans further down their tank, beating them in a close affair. Here’s the latest from your superheroes—no, really, five of them ranked inside the Eastern Conference Top 16 in votes for […]
The New York Knicks (23*-9) refuse to quit. On Saturday, they had to work hard in the fourth quarter to withstand a strong push from the Hawks. Tonight, facing the New Orleans Pelicans (8-25) at the Smoothie King Arena, the Knicks were the team mounting the second half rally. And once again, they came away […]
Tonight the Knicks (22*-9) travel to the bayou to face the Pelicans (8-25). New York is firing on all cylinders and fought off a late-game comeback to escape Atlanta with a win on Saturday. New Orleans would appreciate it if you’d attend a game and fill their empty seats. It’s no surprise that they clog […]
For the second game in a row, the New York (K)nicks* will face off against an inferior opponent that is not only having a rough year, but also going through a tough stretch. The New Orleans Pelicans’ three-game losing streak may not be as bad as the five-game losing streak that the Atlanta Hawks carried […]
