Knicks Bulletin: ‘I’m happy… except for those four times’
The pre-set part of the SummerLeague is over for the Knicks, who dropped another one on Thursday to move to a final 1-3 game before playing one final, extra game against the 2-2 Mavericks on Friday. Enjoy it even if you loathe it, cause there won’t be hoops for nearly three months. Nearly. Three. Damn. […]
Friday Posted & Toasted Notes: Free agency remnants, SummerLoss, Brunson talks
The SummerKnicks wrapped up their scheduled Las Vegas slate with an 87-77 loss to the SummerWarriors, ending their Sin City run with a 1-3 record and a consolation game against the SummerMavs later today. No recap nor scenes, so here’s a kinda sorta summary of the most important performances we watched, along with a bunch […]
Game Thread: SummerKnicks vs. SummerWarriors, July 16, 2026
The Knicks continue their NBA Summer League schedule tonight, facing the Golden State Warriors at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas. New York’s young core, including Mohamed Diawara, Pacôme Dadiet, Tyler Nickel, and Dillon Jones, will use the reps to continue their development, while the Warriors are headlined by highly regarded rookie forward […]
Thursday Posted & Toasted Notes: Brunson’s injury reveal, OG’s speech, LBJ’s Decision Today?
In the absence of a SummerKnicks game, ESPN gave Knicks fans some content to enjoy with their annual ESPY Awards ceremony. I know nobody watched, so here’s your links and notes related to that and more. “Many have talked about adding Jonas Valanciunas (waived and stretched by the Nuggets) or Nick Richards to the team. […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘My wrist is starting to feel weak’
Even if the Knicks didn’t play, the Knicks swept. New York’s mob attended the ESPY Awards and racked up trophy after trophy, all of them starting with Best. Here’s the latest from the protagonists and a couple more folks. Jalen Brunson On the condition of his surgically repaired left wrist, and when the injury happened: […]
Knicks dominate the 2026 ESPYs
I’m not one to watch the ESPYs most years. The last thing I want to watch is a bunch of players I don’t like be honored, plays that involve my team losing being shown, and jokes being made at my team’s expense. Last year’s edition alone featured both Tyrese Haliburton’s and Freddie Freeman’s career-defining plays, […]
Merry born day, OG Anunoby! Eight facts you didn’t know about the Knicks great #8
On Friday, the hand heard ‘round the five boroughs and the larger body it belongs to turn 29 years old. In a stunning bit of coincidence, I offer thee a list of reasons to love OG Anunoby even more than you probably already do if you’re reading this. Then again, you could be a Spurs […]
Tyler Nickel is no mid-July mirage
The mid-July trap is in full effect. The cool air pumps through the Thomas & Mack Center, stakes are non-existent, and our brains begin their annual trick of convincing us that an undrafted point guard is John Stockton’s second coming. Truthfully, 90% of what takes place in Summer League is a hoax. Massive point-getters barely […]
Wednesday Posted & Toasted Notes: Clarkson’s concession, Adam Silver on the second apron
Shouts out to the animal lovers in the comments. You make our jobs easier. Here’s today’s list of links and notes for you to enjoy. “Coming from St. John’s, I feel like we had that same mentality. We wanted to win really bad. It wasn’t too hard of a transition mindset-wise. Two kinds of similar […]
How long can Jalen Brunson remain elite for the Knicks?
New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson is on a quest for his second championship after ending the Knicks’ drought of winning the Larry O’Brien Trophy this summer. Brunson led a movement that snapped a 53-year drought of losing, but he hopes to bring another ring to the Knicks. Bleacher Report contributor Andy Bailey believes […]
Tuesday Posted & Toasted Notes: Summer dubs, Dadiet’s admission, Euronews
The SummerKnicks beat the SummerPistons 86-75 on Monday, improving to 1-2 in Vegas and briefly resembling a functional basketball team after they didn’t look like one to start their Summer League run. Jack Kayil looked good, Dillon Jones looked useful, Liam Robbins blocked rocks, and Tyler Nickel kept doing the one thing everyone already knew […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘Very talented kid. Super gifted’
It looks like the Knicks finally woke up from their month-long title-winning dream. And what better moment to do so than on Monday, just in time to beat Motown. Here’s the latest from Sin City and elsewhere. Pacome Dadiet On what he needs to improve entering his third NBA season: “[Become] more efficient at the […]
July P&T mailbag: The Knicks’ biggest threat in the East, a new Dolan on the horizon & should NY have drafted somebody? Anybody?
Surviving your slog through the heat of mid-summer? Tired of the deluge of World Cup corruption? Weary of watching the Summer League Knicks struggle to score 50 stinkin’ points? You need a P&T mailbag, STAT. And you’re in luck! Here’s one now. 1) How will you feel watching Mitchell Robinson ply his trade as a […]
Game Thread: SummerKnicks vs. SummerPistons, July 13, 2026
Shake off those Monday blues, there’s basketball to be played! The Knicks continue their NBA Summer League action in Las Vegas this afternoon as they square off against the Detroit Pistons at the Cox Pavilion. After getting blown out twice, the exhibition continues to shine a spotlight on player development (Pacome Dadiet, Mohamed Diawara) and […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘That’s why I went into the draft’
It looks like the Knicks are so good that they have the worst Summerteam. Conversely, the Spurs are doomed as they reached the Finals but then beat the SummerKnicks by 21 in Las Vegas. Not good news for San Antonio. Anyway, here’s the latest to cap the weekend from Sin City. TJ Saint On Tyler […]
Sunday Posted & Toasted Notes: Dead-set Kayil, Senior Jose, Wemby controversy!?
The first half of the SummerKnicks’ tenure in Las Vegas is over. That’s cause there is no way they make it to the knockout stage. And hey, not that we care! On to the links and notes. “It wouldn’t be terribly surprising to see the Knicks dangle Deuce McBride in such a trade, either. They’re […]
Why Mo Diawara’s Summer League struggles are a big nothingburger
To start what should be a pretty obvious point to get across, if you seriously have concerns about a player because of Summer League, you should do the following: The greatest prospect of all time could go 1-for-45 in a Summer League game, and it wouldn’t matter at all. The only use of Summer League […]
Game Thread: SummerKnicks vs. SummerSpurs, July 11, 2026
The Knicks won’t have long to shake off Friday’s loss, as they return to the Thomas & Mack Center on Saturday for a Summer League Finals rematch with the Spurs. New York will be looking for more consistent performances from Pacome Dadiet and Mohamed Diawara while hoping its offense avoids the droughts that doomed it […]
Saturday Posted & Toasted Notes: Cultural punches, aliens copying Jalen, sensei Randle
Less than a month after playing a competitive game, the Knicks were back on a court doing some goofy play. Here are some links and notes before New York gets back to it against a familiar foe later today. “I got to do way better. I think the level that we take back is, like, […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘Hey, listen, they got roles in the league, man’
We so back the Knicks even played basketball yesterday. It was a Summerbeating at the hands of the Neighbor Nets, but that’s the only place Brooklyn can beat New York these days. Here’s the latest from Las Vegas. T.J. Saint On Tyler Nickel: “I’ve been most impressed with Nickel’s defense.” On Mohamed Diawara, Pacome Dadiet, […]
SummerNets 91, SummerKnicks 65: Scenes from a shining Knickel
NBA Summer League is a weird funhouse mirror. Excel there (like when Kevin Knox scored 29 points against the Lakers), and a player might be declared a franchise cornerstone. Drop a stinker (as Mohamed Diawara did yesterday, with seven points on 1-of-9 shooting), and some will call the player a bust. Both are overreactions—but it […]
Game Thread: SummerKnicks vs. SummerNets, July 10, 2026
Skip the Cirque du Soleil, go past the roulette table, and head straight to the basketball court, because Summer scrimmages are back in Vegas, baby! Will the games be pretty? Unlikely. But they will give you an early look at the Knicks’ young talent (e.g., Jack Kayil, Tyler Nickel) and give rostered players (e.g., Mohamed […]
P&T July mailbag invite
Before the month of July became the seventh month of the year, it used to be Quintilis, the fifth. And if mi abuela had wheels, she’d be una bicicleta. Are there no absolutes in this topsy-turvy time? There never were! But have no fear: the P&T July mailbag invite is here, to lend a sense […]
Five storylines to watch as the SummerKnicks kick off in Vegas
It’s only been 27 days since the Knicks lifted the Larry O’Brien Trophy on a warm Saturday night in San Antonio, but in those four weeks, a lot of things have happened. From the NBA Draft to free agency to the second apron math in trying to retain the championship core, it feels like the […]
Knicks are dodging the second apron . . . for now
The New York Knicks had to make some difficult decisions this offseason in regards to their salary cap. They wanted to retain as many members of the championship team as possible, but it came at a price they weren’t necessarily willing to pay. It ultimately resulted in losing center Mitchell Robinson, who signed a three-year […]
