The Knicks can do something bigger & bolder than winning the 2026 NBA title
2019 is a year which will live in infamy for New York Knicks fan. That spring, despite having slogged to the league’s worst record, the Knicks were forsaken by the basketball gods, who blessed New Orleans and Memphis with lottery leaps while dropping New York to third. Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving were long rumored […]
What’s next for the Knicks after failed Moussa Cisse pursuit?
You got the feeling when news broke that the Knicks were signing Mavericks rookie center Moussa Cisse to a two-year offer sheet that it wasn’t really going to go anywhere. As much as we had 10 hours of coping and looking for a reason Masai Ujiri and company would let him go, he was basically […]
Beyond the byline: Rediscovering the magic of pure sports fandom
I am a sports fan. Over ten years ago, I decided to take my sports fandom and apply it to the keyboard, covering various professional sports for a variety of respected outlets. Throughout that time, the fan in me changed a bit. Forced to approach professional sports through a critical lens, I began to lose […]
Tuesday Posted & Toasted Notes: Human Towns and pregame meals
Don’t start reading this with high hopes. It’s July 21, so as much as I try, it’s not that I can gather a lot of links and put together tons of notes. Bad times ahead for a workaholic like myself.
Knicks given surprising offseason grade after winning championship
The New York Knicks are still riding the high of winning the NBA Finals over the San Antonio Spurs last month. The offseason has brought difficult choices for the team to make, despite ending a 53-year championship drought. The team said goodbye to Mitchell Robinson, who signed a three-year contract with the Boston Celtics. Because […]
Monday Posted & Toasted Notes: Pretenders contending, campeones, nightclub stories
Whether you care or not, we have collectively transitioned into the coldest part of the schedule for sports fans. Go watch baseball if you like it, but if you don’t, get ready for two months of absolutely nothing at all. “Have the Hawks assembled a championship roster? Atlanta acquired All-Defensive wing Lu Dort after taking […]
Karl-Anthony Towns talks Knicks, Call of Duty, and why he’s already chasing another championship
“I feel like we got something else to go win”. That was Karl-Anthony Towns’ response when Mark Grigsby, the studio head of Infinity Ward, asked him how it felt to be a champion. At a recent Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 event that took place in a private section of the Flatiron restaurant, Aqua […]
Hawks trade for Lu Dort and Ryan Nembhard, still have work to do
A month after the Knicks’ championship, it’s still ridiculous to think that it was the Hawks that challenged the Knicks the most. It wasn’t a 76ers team that had Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, who have given the Knicks all kinds of trouble in the past. It wasn’t the Cavaliers who, at least on paper, […]
Sunday Posted & Toasted Notes: Moussabeen a dream, offseason lists, WrestleKnicks
Would you believe I went to sleep in Spain thinking the Knicks had landed the last piece of the puzzle as they submitted an offer sheet for Mavericks big man Moussa Cisse… …and I woke up to P&T’s Michael Zeno informing me the Mavs had matched the Knicks’ two-year, $4.7 million offer, updating his story […]
Mavericks match Knicks’ offer sheet to Moussa Cisse
July 19 Update: ESPN reported that Dallas has matched New York’s offer sheet for Moussa Cosse, effectively ending the Knicks’ option to land the restricted free agent. Many have wondered aloud of late what the Knicks’ plan is for the final roster spot they are legally able to fill under the second apron. After losing […]
How much will Knicks losing Mitchell Robinson hurt?
The New York Knicks are bringing back most of their championship roster to the team next season, with one glaring exception. Mitchell Robinson, the longest-tenured member of the team, left New York after eight seasons to sign with the rival Boston Celtics in free agency. Bleacher Report contributor Grant Hughes believes losing Robinson is a […]
How to Draw: Jalen Brunson, Part One
One can imagine a different reality in which young Jalen Brunson became a master artist because Rick, his dad, stood him in front of an easel rather than a basketball hoop. You might never play professional sports, but you can develop into a competent illustrator by mastering a few trusty tricks and practicing a bunch. […]
Saturday Posted & Toasted Notes: SummerKnicks finale, Brunson’s business, Ant’s cheat code
You would believe there was a regular-season game played on Friday, as the SummerKnicks and the SummerMavs combined for a dumb 198 points in both team’s Summer League Consolation game. New York used 15 players, and Pacome Dadiet had himself a day to preserve his value entering next season while big man Liam Robbins put […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘I gave a little cheat code, and he passed the test’
It’s official. No more Knicks basketball till October. As that tune says, wake me up when September ends. Here’s (likely, but who knows) the last Bulletin of the season. Jalen Brunson On refusing to sign a Giants helmet: “Wait, wait, I am not signing that. That’s against my religion. Are you gonna make me sign […]
Game Thread: SummerKnicks vs. SummerMavs, July 17, 2026
The Knicks wrap up their 2026 NBA Summer League schedule on Friday when they face the Dallas Mavericks at The Pavilion in Las Vegas. The Mavs are 2-2 in summer play, while the Knicks are 1-3. This will be the last Knicks action you get until autumn, so soak it up, fans. Tip-off is 8:30 […]
From draft-and-stash to Summer League standout
Traditionally, the Las Vegas Summer League serves as a location for evaluating established young talent and first-round draft picks. Entering the summer, many assumed the Knicks’ 39th-overall selection, Jack Kayil, was your typical draft-and-stash prospect. Providing more fuel to that expectation, his name was absent from the initial summer league roster. While New York navigates […]
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 […]
