Here’s another edition of our Round(Ball) Table, where the Posting & Toasting crew convene to share our speculations, worries, and frustrations. With the All-Star weekend now behind us, it’s time to speculate about the remainder of the season. With the New York Knicks sitting third behind the Detroit Pistons and Boston Celtics, what seed should they […]
Two Knicks appeared on the All-Star “Game” on Sunday. Neither won the thing, and only one made it to the final match. This is the first time all season someone involved with New York has failed to win a meaningless title. Jalen Brunson On Jeremy Sochan’s addition and what he brings: “Yeah, I’m very excited […]
The New York Knicks captured the revived Shooting Stars title Saturday night at NBA All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles, defeating three wannabe squads to claim the event’s first championship since its return to the ASW after an 11-year absence. Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns and former Knicks All-Star Allan Houston, with the assistance of smooth passer […]
The 75th NBA All-Star Game tips off Sunday at 5 p.m. ET from the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, where the Clippers play. You can watch it on NBC or stream it on Peacock. Pre-game coverage starts earlier in the day. John Tesh will perform “Roundball Rock” live at the event, and perhaps we’ve taken this […]
It’s All-Star Weekend. Give us a break. Not really, we’ll still watch whatever happens at those events. Mike Brown On Diawara’s small details and flashes: “There’s just a lot of little things when you see Mo play that make you go, ‘Oh my gosh, wow.’ And all those things, when you add them up to […]
On Saturday, the Kia Shooting Stars competition returns after an 11-year break, and the Knicks have some dogs in the fight. The competition uses a two-round structure. In the first round, four teams compete one at a time, with 70 seconds to score points by rotating through seven designated shooting locations around the court. All […]
Last season, the Knicks were a pretty shallow team. Outside of their overly used starting five and key reserves Deuce McBride and Mitchell Robinson, they didn’t have any reliable pieces that would be ticketed for regular roles in Tom Thibodeau’s rotation. Sure, they had Cam Payne, Landry Shamet, Delon Wright, and Precious Achiuwa, who would […]
According to Shams Charania, Jeremy Sochan intends to sign with the Knicks, turning some pre-trade-deadline chatter into an actual addition for the team. Sochan, at least from a visual standpoint, pulls off the Dennis Rodman look to a T. The hair, the tattoos, even the now former No. 10 Spurs uniform all felt like a […]
It never gets old when Knicks fans invade road arenas to root for the visiting team. On Wednesday, it happened again to the poor 76cheesteaks. José, José, José! Mike Brown On Alvarado’s fire and urgency: “His quickness, his ability to shoot the basketball, his ability to pass and make plays without getting knocked off his […]
Two nights, two games, two different Knicks (35*-20) teams. Last night, the Knicks fell in overtime to the lowly Indiana Pacers, dropping a game that should’ve been a gimme and playing the worst defense of their season. Tonight, they travelled to Philadelphia to battle the sixth-place 76ers (30-24). With vastly improved defense, domination in the […]
The Knicks (34*-20) face the Philadelphia 76ers (30-23) tonight at Xfinity Mobile Arena. It’s New York’s final game on the schedule before the All-Star break. They arrive still stinging from last night’s overtime loss to Indiana, while Philly’s last game was a bust against Portland. Game’s at 7:30 p.m. EST on MSG and ESPN. This […]
Would you believe the Pacers beat the Knicks? It took overtime, but you better do. Thankfully, the break is right around the corner, but not before New York dumps the Sixers in a grand pre-ASW finale. Here’s a bunch of what was said before and after yesterday’s affair. Mike Brown On defensive execution vs Indiana: […]
In their last game before the All-Star siesta, the New York Knicks (34*-20) face the Philadelphia 76ers (30-23) tonight at Xfinity Mobile Arena. Both teams hope to bounce back from losses they’d rather erase from their records. Last night at MSG, the Knicks fell in overtime to the Indiana Pacers, due to their defense allowing […]
The Pacers (14-40) brought a conference-worst record into Madison Square Garden tonight. They average 110 points per game, practically the worst in the league. Their hosts, the New York Knicks (34*-20), had won nine of their last ten and were climbing up the power rankings again. Games don’t get more lopsided than this. Still, somehow, […]
Tonight at Madison Square Garden, the New York Knicks (34*-19) host the Indiana Pacers (13-40). The Knicks are riding high, winning nine of their last ten tries, while the Pacers are dutifully clearing the conference drain of clogs. For tonight’s tilt, Mitchell Robinson (mgmt) and OG Anunoby (toe) will be out. With New York slated […]
The Knicks (34*-19) host the Indiana Pacers (13-40) tonight at Madison Square Garden, pitting a team from the top of the conference against one from the drain. Over their last ten contests, New York has won nine and the Hoosiers have lost seven. One fanbase is salivating about a deep postseason run; the other is […]
Last night, the eyes of the world were on Super Bowl LX in Santa Clara, where the Seattle Seahawks completely locked down the New England Patriots offense in an uncompetitive and rather boring affair, handing the city of Boston its second defeat of the day. With the NFL season concluding, the NHL on Olympic break, […]
The Celtics lost early. The Patriots lost late. ‘Twas a wonderful day. ‘Tis a time to celebrate. Mike Brown On beating Beantown after Friday’s loss: “Our group is resilient. Sometimes things like that happen in Detroit. None of us like it. None of us want to go through it. Give Detroit a lot of credit, […]
In a nationally televised matinee, the Knicks (34*-19) handled business in Boston, methodically burying the Celtics (34-19). With an All-Star performance by Jalen Brunson, terrific play by rookie Mohamed Diawara, and a stellar debut by newly acquired guard Jose Alvarado, New York outshot Boston from deep (40% to 17%) and turned the ball over just […]
On Super Bowl Sunday, the New York Knicks (33*–19) visit the Boston Celtics (34–18) tonight at TD Garden in a matchup between two top Eastern Conference contenders, fighting for second place. Karl-Anthony Towns (eye), Josh Hart (ankle), and OG Anunoby (toe) are questionable for New York, while Miles McBride is out; Boston lists Sam Hauser […]
Injuries have exposed the fact that the Knicks are as deep as a backyard kiddie pool. On Friday in Detroit, they broke an eight-game win streak and replaced the bench with a stretcher. You can tell the Knicks are short-handed when Mike Brown, gritting his teeth, lowers his gaze upon Pacome Dadiet. The coach knows […]
In a far too early matinee, the Knicks (33*-19) face the Celtics (34-18) at TD Garden. This is a matchup of two Eastern Conference heavyweights, although the Knicks more resemble a boxer at the end of a fight—bloodied, swollen-eyed, with at least two sprained ankles. On December 2, 2025, Boston defeated New York 123-117, with […]
Knicks lost. Pistons won. No more intro needed. Here’s the latest. Mike Brown On the Pistons’ rise in the East: “It’s great. They did a good job with it. They obviously drafted well and tried to develop the right pieces. From afar, that’s what it looks like, and when they hired J.B., I just knew […]
Kinda saw it coming. Four Knicks (33*-19) were listed as OUT at Little Caesars Arena tonight: Karl-Anthony Towns (eye), OG Anunoby (toe), Miles McBride (hernia surgery), and Jose Alvarado (still in transit). Plus Josh Hart was playing, but hindered by a sore ankle. This was not a full-strength squad that came to battle the Conference-leading […]
With an eight-game winning streak on the line, the New York Knicks (33*-18) face the Detroit Pistons (37-13) tonight at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit. For the good guys, Karl-Anthony Towns is questionable with a right eye laceration, Josh Hart is questionable with a left ankle sprain, OG Anunoby is probable with a right toe […]
