Knicks 108, 76ers 102: “No matter who wins, this is such a p*** poor reffed game.”
To quote SwissCheez, “another no call, surprising.” And Knicksyism: “No foul…” And rcnt123: “No matter who wins, this is such a piss-poor reffed game.” Excessive complaining about lopsided officiating is generally considered uncouth, especially if your team wins. Hence, we apologize for what follows. New York made history on Monday. In defeating Philadelphia by 39 […]
Playoff Game Thread: Knicks vs 76ers, Game 2, May 6, 2026
Tonight, the New York Knicks (1-0) host the Philadelphia 76ers (0-1) at Madison Square Garden in Game Two of the Eastern Conference semifinals. New York obliterated Philly in Game One and can seize firm control of the series with another win at the Mecca. The Sixers have too much talent and pride to roll over […]
BREAKING: Joel Embiid ruled out for Game 2 against the Knicks
With the condensed schedule of the NBA playoffs and the quick turnaround for the Philadelphia 76ers after their seven-game series with the Boston Celtics, it was frequently wondered if Joel Embiid was going to be able to make it through a series that would play as many as seven games in 15 days. Well, just […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘We wanted strong NYC grit. Not a weak Philly cheesesteak’
Turns out the Sixers lost Game 1 because of the schedule, not because the Knicks crushed their souls into dust. Let’s see if having a bit of rest helps the Philly Numbers, or if they keep crumbling. Fresh Bulletin now, Game 2 later. Mike Brown On coaching under the Finals-or-bust pressure: “People have talked about […]
Playoff Game Preview: Knicks vs 76ers, Game 2, May 6, 2026
The Knicks’ Game One dominance over the 76ers was surprising even to New York fans who had them winning. The game was one-sided in pretty much every aspect, besides free throws, which is one of the things Joel Embiid oddly had gripes with. Shooting, hustle, offensive execution, turnovers, defensive focus, passing—you name it. The Knicks […]
Knicks 137, 76ers 98: “Really surreal”
Getting it right starts with getting it wrong. It’s true in math, mental health and Madison Square Garden, where last night the New York Knicks took a 1-0 series lead over Philadelphia with a 137-98 shellacking of the 76ers. Through all the fits and false starts of this season, there were glimpses. Early on the […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘When we do that, we’re playing our best basketball’
New York so good they can win games in two quarters and change. Philly so bad they can’t even beat the Knicks’ bench mob in a garbage-time war. Here’s the latest after Game 1. Mike Brown On the team’s Game 1 performance: “I thought it was a really good game by our guys.” On his […]
Knicks vs. 76ers player grades: Brunson dominates as Knicks rout Philly in Game 1
The New York Knicks crushed the Philadelphia 76ers 137-98 in Game One of the Eastern Conference semifinals. Building a big lead early, they led by 23 at halftime and then cruised, with all starters resting in the fourth quarter. Jalen Brunson poured in 27 of his 35 points in the first half, while Tyrese Maxey […]
Knicks 137, 76ers 98: Scenes from getting it done in Game One
Tonight at Madison Square Garden, the Knicks hosted the 76ers in Game One of their semifinal series. New York had benefited from extra rest by routing Atlanta on Friday, while Philly took the Celtics to seven games before closing their series on Saturday. The visitors played like they had just fought a long battle as […]
Playoff Game Thread: Knicks vs 76ers, Game 1, May 4, 2026
Tonight, the third-seed New York Knicks host the seventh-seed Philadelphia 76ers at Madison Square Garden for Game One of the Eastern Conference semifinals. A strong Knicks start could shape the series, while the Sixers look to grab a road win in hostile territory. Our heroes enter as roughly seven-point favorites, buoyed by their superior regular-season […]

P&T Round(ball) Table: Predictions for the Knicks-76ers second round series.
The playoffs are officially lit, and our beloved Knickerbockers just mostly demolished the Atlanta Hawks on their way to the second round. Can they keep it rolling? Will the vibes stay electric deep into June? As usual, the Posting & Toasting crew has squeezed back around the round(ball) table to cut through the noise and […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘He’s an Unc’
Tip-off time can’t come soon enough. But hey, it’s just less than 10 hours away, so hang in there. Here’s the latest ahead of Game 1 tonight. https://x.com/i/status/2051131319984234549 Mike Brown On OG Anunoby’s defensive versatility: “OG is just unique and special.

Dr. Strange Love, Or How I Learned to Stop Caring and Hate the 76ers
Despite growing up a half-hour from Shea Stadium as a 1980s Mets fan, I didn’t hate the Yankees. No reason to. They were in a whole other league; they never played the Mets, other than in spring training. Don Mattingly was awesome. Dave Winfield was a freak. Willie Randolph seemed nice. Their third baseman was […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘Last time we played the Knicks, it felt like MSG East’
Could it get any better? I bet it couldn’t. New York Knicks. Philadelphia Numbers. Bring it on. Mike Brown On the Game 6 scuffle and his glasses: “When I got in the middle of it, [those thoughts] all went out the window for some reason. And the only thing I could think of was [the […]
Knicks Second Round Series Primer: Philadelphia 76ers
After an eventful first-round series against the Atlanta Hawks wrapped up with a historic beatdown on Thursday, the Knicks got to kick their feet up and enjoy an exciting Game 7 at TD Garden in Boston, where the underdog shocked the powerhouse Celtics (without Jayson Tatum) to set up an unlikely second-round clash. It’s the […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘Dude goes down and averages 30 for the first two games? Nah’
Grab some popcorn. Find a seat. Enjoy the bloodbath between the Sixers and the Celtics. The Knicks will just be resting and patiently waiting. Mike Brown On the offensive changes after falling down 2-1 in Game 3: “We changed what we’d done offensively, but again, it was because we were pushed to do it. We […]
CJ McCollum, Hawks gave Knicks the kick they needed to go all the way
The Knicks have gone to six games in the first round in each of the last three seasons, but not all six-game playoff series are created equally. While the Sixers and Pistons fought tooth and nail for all six games (especially Detroit), there are six-game series that aren’t as competitive as it sounds. This was […]
Knicks 140, Hawks 89: “We witnessed Halley’s Comet”
Most Knicks fans are younger than 65, meaning most have never seen this team win a championship. If you’re 40 or under, you missed Patrick Ewing. Any fan not yet old enough to vote wasn’t following Linsanity. But any Knick fan of any age who tuned in to last night’s rare bird of a Game […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘Trying so hard to be calm’
I don’t even know why we make any other prediction than Knicks in Six anymore. It don’t make sense. Don’t make it make sense. Just keep winning theeem gaaaaaaames!!! Mike Brown On Josh Hart’s versatility: “His versatility is huge whether it’s offensively or defensively. Offensively, he pushes the basketball. He helps us play faster. Defensively, […]
Knicks 140, Hawks 89: Scenes from a gashing in Georgia
For nearly two weeks, the Knicks toyed with our emotions. Game One of their first-round Eastern Conference playoff series with the Hawks was a mostly by-the-books win. Then our rosy dreams of championship glory were dashed by a choke job, a one-point loss in Game Two, and an even worse one-point stinker in Game Three. […]
Playoff Game Thread: Knicks at Hawks, Game 6, April 30, 2026
The Knicks face the Hawks tonight at State Farm Arena in Game six of their Eastern Conference first-round series. New York leads the series 3-2, and a win would close out the series, sending them to the second round to battle either the Boston Celtics (boo) or the Philadelphia 76ers (also boo). The Knicks mostly […]
Playoff Game Preview: Knicks vs Hawks, Game 6, April 30, 2026
A 3–2 series is maybe the trickiest one to gauge in sports. One team clearly has the advantage of needing to win just one of the remaining two games, and if said team was the winner of Game Five, as the Knicks were, then their confidence is likely high. But New York will be heading […]
Mike Brown’s praises should be as loud as his critiques… or should it?
Mike Brown’s performance in the first round of the playoffs has gone similarly to his regular season. It’s been a mixed bag of some brilliance, some head-scratchers, and some gutsy moves. We saw him start off the series with the decision to put cross-match on defense, putting Karl-Anthony Towns on Dyson Daniels, which was expected […]
