Game Thread: Knicks at Rockets, March 31, 2026
The Knicks (48*-27) face the Rockets (45-29) tonight at Toyota Center. New York needs wins to hold onto third place in the East, while Houston is jockeying for playoff positioning in the West. The national audience should enjoy a thriller tonight, with both teams rating in the top ten for offense and defense and motivated […]
Amar’e Stoudemire to be inducted into Basketball Hall of Fame: REPORT
Ever since Patrick Ewing was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2008, it felt like ages since a real Knick made it in. Dikembe Mutombo made it in 2015, Tracy McGrady was inducted two years later, Jason Kidd just one year after, and Chauncey Billups got the nod in 2024. But all four […]
Game Preview: Knicks at Rockets, March 31, 2026
Tonight, the Knicks (48*-27) visit the Rockets (45-29) at the Toyota Center. New York has clinched a playoff berth, but need to get through a challenging slate in order to keep their third slot—or catch the 50-win Celtics. Houston is one of five over-.500 teams standing between the Knicks and the finish line. The Texans […]
Did Deuce McBride and the Knicks avoid a disaster?
The few hours surrounding the Knicks’ Sunday night loss to the Thunder couldn’t have been more of a rollercoaster. We all received word leading up to the game that Deuce McBride, a fan favorite and a pivotal piece of the Knicks’ puzzle, would be returning after missing two months with a sports hernia injury. And […]
Thunder 111, Knicks 100: “Not too down on this loss”
I’m not sure what last night’s 111-100 Knicks’ loss in Oklahoma City showed me that I didn’t already know. About either team. We already know the Knicks can compete with the Thunder. Last year’s matchup in OKC went pretty similarly to last night: the game was absolutely there for New York’s taking, but any number […]
The Knicks are a good clutch team, but can they be great?
It’s hard to be a good team without being a good clutch team. Of the 12 teams currently in a playoff spot (plus Philly, who’s on the cusp of it), 10 of them are in the top 11 in clutch net rating (the other team is Milwaukee, somehow). The others are Minnesota (15th), Denver (20th), […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘We decided to do something different’
The Knicks lost the finals preview against the Thunder, but most worryngly we got the “still learning the system” talk back. New York has a handful of games left, is bound to finish with the third or fourth seed, and they better avoid the latter if they don’t want to suffer. Here’s the latest set […]
Thunder 111, Knicks 100: Scenes from down and out in Foul City
Thunder (59-16) came into tonight with the league’s best record and ranked first in the league for both points-per-game and defensive rating. The visiting Knicks (48*-27) were ready, though. On Walt ‘Clyde’ Frazier’s 81st birthday, they played well enough through three quarters to make the G.K.O.A.T. proud. Then the Thunder turned on the gas and […]
Game Thread: Knicks at Thunder, March 29, 2026
The Knicks (48*-26) visit the Thunder (58-16). Oklahoma City squeaked out a three-point victory in New York earlier this month and are favored again tonight. Rebounding will be a key to victory, and the Knicks simply must haul in more than the 24 boards they managed against the Hornets on Thursday. Tip-off is 7:30 PM […]
Knicks Standings Watch: Who to root for and against, March 29-April 4
With the regular season winding down and fewer than 10 games in most teams’ schedules, here’s the latest and second-to-last entry of the Standing Watch series. All playoff teams are already locked in, mind you, but there’s still some seed-shuffling left to play out during the final games of play, starting with Sunday’s matchup between […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘Does a great job of convincing the referees’
We got ourselves a Sunday treat as there is an NBA Finals preview on tap. Knicks vs. Thunder for the second time this regular season as the warm-up game for New York’s future sweep of OKC come June. Here’s the latest before this evening’s showdown. Mike Brown On the close loss to Oklahoma City earlier […]
What Deuce McBride’s return means for the Knicks’ rotation
Even after Thursday night’s loss to the Charlotte Hornets, the Knicks have remained one of the hottest teams in the league over the last couple of months. Thankfully, that has helped distract some fans from focusing too much on the absence of backup guard Deuce McBride, who has been out since January with a sports […]
Game Preview: Knicks at Thunder, March 29, 2026
Tonight, the New York Knicks (48*-26) visit the Oklahoma City Thunder (58-16) at Paycom Center. This matchup tests whether New York can hang with the reigning champs or are just part-time sluggers. The Knicks dropped their seven-game win streak Thursday night in Charlotte, falling 114-103, while the Thunder keeps rolling at home with the best […]
Knicks’ three-point defense could decide New York’s postseason fate
“The three-ball problem the Knicks are having is not an aberration. It’s chronic. They play a good team, they give up a lot of threes, they play a poor team…and tonight they’re not denying threes again”. That was Walt Clyde Frazier, the color commentator for the Knicks, during Thursday night’s loss to the Hornets. And […]
Who should the Knicks want to face in the first round?
There’s an old saying that we’ve all heard plenty of times throughout our lives: “Be careful what you wish for.” In sports, the saying can be applied to preferential matchups in the postseason. While there’s no such thing as being able to choose your opponent (yet), there have been situations where teams try to position […]
Hornets 114, Knicks 103: “The Hornets are last year’s Pistons”
At the bank this morning the teller was talking about movies and asked if I’d seen Sinners. When I said I had, she asked what I thought of it. For better or worse, our expectations not only shape our realities, they often become them. I haven’t met anyone who’s seen Sinners and not enjoyed it; […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘Unless we change our approach, we ain’t doing shit special’
A trap game against the Hornets saw New York lose its first game in weeks. The Knicks could have clinched a postseason berth but failed to do so, with their next chance on Sunday… …against the reigning champs OKC Thunder. Uh, oh. Mike Brown On trying to match Charlotte’s physicality late by benching KAT for […]
Hornets 114, Knicks 103: Scenes from N.Y. getting barbecued in N.C.
Before tonight, the Knicks (48*-26) had won seven consecutive games. Admittedly, some of those foes were lightweight competition. The Hornets (39-34) had won four straight and compiled a 22-6 record since late January. Charlotte had the fourth-best offensive rating, New York had the third. We were salivating for a shootout at the Spectrum Center. Truth […]
Game Thread: Knicks at Hornets, March 26, 2025
The Knicks (48*-25) face the Hornets (38-34) tonight at the Spectrum Center in North Carolina. A win would help New York keep pace in the tight Eastern Conference playoff race. The Hornets are hot, however, ranking the top third for offense and three-point accuracy. Expect a shootout in Charlotte. Tip-off is 7 pm EST on […]
Game Preview: Knicks at Hornets, March 26, 2026
Tonight, the Knicks (48*-25) visit the Hornets (38-34) at Spectrum Center. New York has won seven straight, including Tuesday’s 121-116 victory over the Pelicans. Meanwhile, Charlotte went 7-3 over their last 10 and is riding a strong home stretch with a four-game win streak on the line. Expect a spicy one tonight! New York leads […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘That’s what’s most important to us right now’
It looked like a game against the Pels… …until Knicks captain Jalen Brunson took over. Here’s what was said before and after New York won its seventh consecutive game. Mike Brown On Brunson’s clutch performance against New Orleans: “That’s what great players do. Great players, when it matters the most, when the pressure’s the highest, […]
The art of a Mitchell Robinson offensive rebound
Who would you consider the best at each individual skill in the NBA? Is Luka Doncic the best pure scorer? Is Nikola Jokic or Tyrese Haliburton the best pure playmaker? Is Stephen Curry the best shooter? Is Victor Wembanyama the best defender? When healthy, does Kyrie Irving have the best handles? But notice how all […]
Knicks 121, Pelicans 116: “Mitch and Zion talkin food I know it”
Two teams with palindromic records squared off at Madison Square Garden tonight. One team sits three slots down from the top of their conference, while the other is five up from the bottom of theirs. The distance between the clubs is misleading, though. With Zion Williamson sporting the physique of a Marvel hero, Dejounte Murray […]
Game Thread: Knicks vs Pelicans, March 24, 2026
The New York Knicks (47*-25) host the New Orleans Pelicans (25-47) tonight at Madison Square Garden. This matchup gives the Knicks a chance to pad their Eastern Conference standing against a weak Western team that doesn’t always play like it. Zion broke 30 points when they played last, and Dejounte Murray has given the birds […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘That should definitely send a message to everybody loud and clear’
The Knicks are back on the schedule to face Zion’s Pelicans on Tuesday evening. New York is just half a game behind the Celtics for the No. 2 seed in the East. Would you believe it!? Here’s the latest. Mike Brown On Mikal Bridges’ history of production: “He’s shown time after time that he’s a […]
