The 2026 New York Knicks don’t add up. Except one way they really add up. This is a team that can rip off a winning run for weeks that implies they can beat anyone, anywhere, anytime. Other times they’re less Larry O’Brien, more Larry, Curly and Moe. Last year they went 1-13 against the Thunder, […]
In a vacuum, the Knicks’ window to win a championship goes beyond 2026. This time next year, Josh Hart will be the oldest of the current Knicks who are likely to return, at 32 years-old, with Karl-Anthony Towns being 31, and Jalen Brunson, Landry Shamet, and Mikal Bridges all hitting the big three-zero. They won’t […]
Upon the release of the injury report for the Atlanta Hawks’ final regular season game against the Miami Heat, two conclusions could’ve be drawn: the Hawks wanted to face the New Yorks in the first round and allow the Toronto Raptors to move into the 5-seed — or the Hawks didn’t care who they faced […]
Only one more sleep. Just a bit over 24 hours for tip-off. If you feel anxious, crack Trae Young jokes. Zohran Mamdani (NYC Mayor) On why the Knicks’ playoff ticket prices are sky-high: “First, I would say that I blame Trae Young. And I think it’s always important to blame Trae Young.” Mike Brown On […]
This is the third of a series of roundtable questions I’m asking the staff here at Peachtree Hoops about the Hawks as we approach the postseason. Today’s question: what’s the most difficult matchup that the Knicks pose for the Hawks? Wes: Mitchell Robinson stands out to me, especially in the wake of the news that Jock […]
A review of the hit series 'Heated Rivalry' by a Russian website resulted in a fine, which shows how strict Russia's anti-gay laws are. The series features a Russian player as a central character.
The post It’s called ‘LGBTQ propaganda,’ but ‘Heated Rivalry’ a big underground hit in Russia appeared first on Outsports .
Just two days left. Saturday can’t come soon enough. Come on, dawg. Mike Brown On not thinking about his potential firing if the team falls short of a title: “I don’t really think about the last part of the question. Everybody in that locker room has a competitive spirit that I like and that I […]
This is the second of a series of roundtable questions I’m asking the staff here at Peachtree Hoops about the Hawks as we approach the postseason. Today’s question: should the Hawks have pushed harder for the 5 seed to play the Cavaliers instead of the Knicks? Wes: For me, no. Making sure your playoff rotation is […]
Jalen Brunson It goes without saying, but this team, especially in the postseason, needs Jalen Brunson to be at his best. New York has had games, especially in the first round of the last couple of playoffs, where they have won, even when Brunson has had off nights. But they’ll need him to be great […]
Well, here we are. After a long, 82-game season full of twists and turns, we’ve arrived at the start of a playoff journey. Conventional wisdom said that the Toronto Raptors would be the first-round opponent entering Sunday, but the Orlando Magic somehow lost to the Celtics’ C-team, so here we are. Whatever way you feel […]
If you go looking through the Knicks’ biggest playoff rivals, the Hawks aren’t the first matchup that comes to mind. They’re not Miami, they’re not Indiana, and they haven’t been a consistent playoff opponent at all. In fact, it’s a pretty rare matchup. But when these two teams do meet in the postseason, it usually […]
The most anticipated yet anticlimactic Knick regular season in years concluded its preamble with a 110-96 loss to the Charlotte Hornets, though it didn’t feel like an L. Both teams got what they wanted: New York rested their starting five and Mitchell Robinson (somewhere in Connecticut, a worried friend injects thorazine into the red, raging […]
The season is over, fellas. Ah, sorry, I only meant the regular thing. We still have the playoffs and the parade coming up next. Bring it on! Mike Breen On the greedy NBA: “This is the first time ever that no longer can the home team announcers and broadcasters televise the first round. The entire […]
LaMelo Ball, Brandon Miller, and Coby White all scored exactly 19 points to defeat a New York Knicks skeleton crew and clinch a home playoff-in game.

The Hawks completed their most successful regular season since 2020-21, entering the playoff bracket directly without going through the Play-In Tournament. As a results of their loss to the Miami Heat, the Toronto Raptors win, and the Orlando Magic loss all today, the Hawks finished sixth in the Eastern Conference by virtue of losing the […]
The Knicks (53*-28) close their regular season Sunday night at Madison Square Garden against the Hornets (43-38), with New York locked into the East’s No. 3 seed and Charlotte still battling for home-court advantage in the Play-In. The Knicks enter on a five-game winning streak, but have little to gain by exerting too much effort […]

We have arrived. When the Knicks (53*-28) host the Hornets (43-38) tonight at Madison Square Garden, their regular season will draw to a close. What a season it has been. A success by most measures, for sure, yet disappointing at times. So like life. The obviousness of the Pistons and Celtics stealing the top two […]
81 down, one to go. 81 games into this roller coaster ride of a regular season, we’ve reached a point of reflection. In a season that’s seen few true moments to breathe, the Knicks are entering Game 82 with absolutely nothing to play for (unless you want to go for the team’s first 54-win season […]
The Toronto Raptors will play their final game of the 2025-26 NBA regular season at home against the Brooklyn Nets after receiving a thrashing from the New York Knicks on Friday. It’s fitting that a matchup with Brooklyn is how this team finishes off this season, characterized by the end of the rebuild begun two […]
The 2026 NBA Playoffs are just around the corner. Theoretically 16 teams will battle for the championship trophy awarded in June. Practically speaking, only a few of those have a legitimate shot at winning it all. This week SBNation’s Reacts Surveys polled fans nationally, asking which teams in the top four of each conference were […]
Postseason clinched. No. 3 seed locked. That’s your New York Knickerbockers. Mike Brown On not hiding anything against Toronto: “We just play and try to win. When you start messing with the basketball gods it bites you in the ass, so I ain’t gonna do that.” On his postseason focus: “I was trying to get […]
It’s that time of the year. That time of the year when we come up with a thousand possibilities, anxiously think about this and that and the other thing… only for everything to unfold and be resolved by itself in 24 hours. We just can’t help ourselves, can we? That’s why, with just one game […]
Nikola Vucevic has begun to string together strong performances after his initial struggles coming back from a broken ring finger. While Friday’s game against the Pelicans lacked the intensity of the Celtics’ previous game against the New York Knicks, it was still a useful setting for the veteran center to build rhythm and chemistry with […]
80 games in, the 2026 Knicks were still destination unknown. After thrashing Toronto 112-95 in game 81, the picture is clearer. The Celtics hammered the Pelicans 144-118, locking up the 2-seed, while the Cavaliers showed they’re already in playoff form, falling badly to the Hawks. The East top-four are set: Detroit, Boston, New York and […]
