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 […]
Knicks may have to play Game Six without key wing
The Knicks heat into Game Six in Atlanta with a chance to close out their first round series, but might have to do so without an essential piece. Josh Hart exited Tuesday’s 126–97 Game Five humiliation of the Hawks in the fourth quarter and never returned to the bench. Afterward, Mike Brown didn’t have much […]
How the Knicks’ big three have stifled the Hawks defense
When breaking down a playoff series, one can occasionally overthink things. They may look at matchups, schemes, depth, injuries, past matchups, and analytics. I’m guilty of that myself, and even did that for the Knicks’ current series against the Hawks. But Games Four and Five served as a friendly, but very loud, reminder that in […]
The revival of Jordan Clarkson
On January 19, the Knicks got absolutely blasted by the Dallas Mavericks in an embarrassing game at home on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. In the postgame recap, I likened it to an extremely similar game in an extremely similar situation against the same opponent in the same arena a few years ago. That game […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘I think they just punked us’
No matter your prediction, it’s always the same story… Knicks in Six. Here’s the latest from MSG. Mike Brown On Brunson’s screen-setting ability: “The thing about him, he’s a great screen setter. He has a really good change of pace where he slips and stuff like that which can cause confusion.” On Anunoby and Towns […]
Adam Silver still doesn’t understand tanking. That might ruin the integrity of the sport
While us Knicks fans rejoiced during a Tuesday night beatdown of the Hawks that gave our ‘Bockers a 3-2 series lead, it was a pretty horrific day for the sport as a whole. Around the same time on Tuesday afternoon, the NCAA revealed its plans to expand the NCAA Tournament to 76 teams (yuck), and […]
Knicks 126, Hawks 97: “This is a pretty comprehensive and soul destroying a** whipping.”
Game Five is in the books, and in it New York (3-2) picked up where they left off in the previous contest, slapping down the Atlanta Hawks with another (essentially) wire-to-wire win. Steadily piling on the points quarter after quarter until their lead reached 32 in the fourth, the Knicks rode a 39-point, eight-assist performance […]
Playoff Game Thread: Knicks vs Hawks, Game 5, April 28, 2026
The Knicks (2-2) host the Atlanta Hawks tonight at Madison Square Garden in Game Five of their first-round Eastern Conference playoff series. A win puts either team one victory away from advancing to the second round. Tip-off is 8:00 pm EST on NBC and Peacock. This is your game thread. This is Peachtree Hoops. Please don’t […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘We go by feel’
The East is so bad we might on the other side of the bracket… …that we’ll have an anticipated ECF matchup in the second round of the playoffs. Knicks vs. Celtics for an NBA Finals berth. You bet? Mike Brown On adjusting the offense around Brunson and Towns: “Obviously, trying to get KAT the ball […]
Playoff Game Preview: Knicks vs Hawks, Game 5, April 28, 2026
The New York Knicks host the Atlanta Hawks tonight at Madison Square Garden in Game Five of their first-round playoff series, tied 2–2. The winner takes command, while the loser will return to Atlanta pondering an elimination game. Need it be said? The Knicks are the better team. They have led for 92% of the […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘I’m right here. I’m all good’
Only one more sleep. Fewer than 34 hours. Hawks at Knicks, Game 5 at MSG. Let’s beat ‘em birds. Mike Brown On Josh Hart’s defense in Game 4: “Josh was really good on the ball. Josh is a guy with quick feet, he’s strong and when he gets locked in, he’s locked in. His defensive […]
How the Knicks picked themselves off the mat to win Game 4 and save their season
How low can the vibes get before you reach a point of no return? We got pretty close to that after the demoralizing beatdown the Knicks got at the hands of the shorthanded Mavericks back on MLK Day in January to fall to 2-9 in their last 11 games. Even throughout all the frustration in […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘I don’t think it’s anything encouraging about it’
As long as the right buttons are pushed, we won’t complain about no starting lineup changes, Mikey. The Knicks cooked Hawks wings in Atlanta, took a flight back home to New York, and will host a party inside the Garden on Tuesday. Here’s the latest following a promising outing from your Knickerbockers. Mike Brown On […]
Knicks 114, Hawks 98: “KAT was fantastic”
Ninety seconds into the second half of last night’s 112-98 Knick win in Atlanta, cosplay analyst Reggie Miller declared the Hawks “on a heater.” In that minute and a half, they’d scored five points, cutting a 14-point deficit to nine. Reggie Miller is full of shit. Was as a player, is as an announcer. He […]
Knicks 114, Hawks 98: Scenes from more Towns, less clowns
And the tri-state area expelled a sigh of relief. The New York Knicks (2-2) took control early tonight and never let go, rolling past the Atlanta Hawks, 114–98, in Game Four of their first-round Eastern Conference playoff series. Behind a dominant, wire-to-wire effort, Karl-Anthony Towns recorded the first triple-double of his postseason career (20-10-10), while […]
Playoff Game Thread: Knicks at Hawks, Game 4, April 25, 2026
Down 2–1 and stinging from back-to-back one-point losses, the Knicks return to Atlanta for a pivotal Game Four needing to clean up their own mess. Despite controlling the glass and large stretches of play, late-game breakdowns, uneven free-throw shooting, and questionable rotations have tanked winnable games. Jalen Brunson has yet to take over the series, […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘I try to think of all the pros and cons’
Wings made of feathers and wax. Flew too high, intoxicated by pride. Sent down crashing by the sun, drowning in hubris inside a dark sea. Will the Knicks bend, or break? Here’s the latest before the biggest game since the bounce that changed the Knicks’—now present—future. Mike Brown On a possible starting lineup change for […]
Playoff Game Preview: Knicks at Hawks, Game 4, April 25, 2026
The Knicks head back to State Farm Arena for Game Four against the Hawks, down 2-1 in their first-round playoff series. New York must find a way to stop the bleeding after dropping two straight one-point losses, including Thursday’s 109-108 bummer in Game Three. The Knicks can still win the series, but you’re forgiven for […]
The Knicks made progress in some areas in Game 3, but crippling problems remain
If Mikal Bridges’ stepback mid-range went in on Monday… If that blocked Jalen Johnson dunk attempt bounced your way on Thursday… The Knicks are a pair of bounces away from this series being all but over, up 3-0. Any neutral basketball fan would expect that, in a one-possession game in the final minute, the team […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘There’s no room to feel sorry for ourselves’
Shout-out Mike Brown for losing Game 3 by one point, going four-against-five for the whole first half. Shout-out Mikal Bridges, for helping folks forget about him and teaching the world that basketball was meant to be a four-player sport. Here’s the latest from the ATL. Mike Brown On the Game 3 loss and the series […]
Hawks 109, Knicks 108: “This team is not serious people”
Maybe the Knicks (1-2) had no business winning this game against the Hawks (2-1). After sleepwalking through a miserable first quarter and falling behind by 18 in the second, they entered halftime down by eight, matched Atlanta’s thirty points in the third quarter, and finally seemed interested in victory late in the fourth quarter. Too […]
Playoff Game Thread: Knicks vs. Hawks, Game 3, April 23, 2026
The Knicks head to Atlanta for Game Three with their First Round series knotted at one, still stinging from a Game Two fourth-quarter collapse. Although they led through most of the first two games, concerning (effort, mental) lapses and disconnect on offense have the alarm bells clanging. New York is still in command of the […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘We can talk to Brunson, but at the end of the day…’
The Knicks play the Hawks in Manhatlanta tonight, with flocks of New Yorkers expected to take over. Don’t get it twisted—Knicks fans in town or not, the folks better get that dub and return home with a 2-2 balance at the very worst, or else. Here’s the latest from around NYK world. Mike Brown On […]
Playoff Game Preview: Knicks at Hawks, Game 3, April 23, 2026
The Knicks head to State Farm Arena tonight for Game Three against the Hawks, tied 1-1 in their first-round playoff series. New York needs to reclaim momentum after blowing a 12-point fourth-quarter lead in Game Two and giving the series a queasy, slippery feeling. The Knicks entered Game Two with a 40-1 record when leading […]
