Then the New York Knicks (16-7) will head north of the border to take on the Toronto Raptors (15-10) and a couple of old friends. […]

Microwave. Bucket-getter. Flamethrower. These are all words that have been used to describe Jordan Clarkson. Inconsistent. Ball-stopper. Erratic. Turnstile. These are also all words that have been used to describe the shooting guard. And there’s a lot of truth to all of them. Through Clarkson’s 12 seasons in the NBA, the former Missouri Tiger has […]

The last few months of the Giannis Antetokounmpo saga in Milwaukee have played out like a girl picking a flower, wondering whether her crush loves her or not. It’s been the worst-kept secret in the NBA. One of the best players in basketball has been the victim of poor roster construction around him for the […]

The Knicks played basketball on Sunday and beat Orlando inside Madison Square Garden, moving up to 16-7 and a pretty pristine 13-1 record playing home. The Magic attempted to play dodgeball in New York, threw a hit-by-pitch to OG, and returned home eating a big ’L’ in yet another loss, dropping them 2.5 games behind […]

Two thoughts on the National Basketball Association club known as the New York Knickerbockers, Esq. These Knicks are good! What that means is unclear. If somebody were to ask “What’s special about the Cleveland Cavaliers, Atlanta Hawks and Golden State Warriors?”, what would you say? Nine players have suited up for all three teams, though […]

In a noon matinee—and Kid’s Day at the Garden—the Knicks (16-7) won a bruising first quarter that featured a scary Franz Wagner injury. After beating the Magic (14-10) in the first period, 35–31, the home team couldn’t muster 20 points and went down 55–54 at halftime. After the break, the New York reclaimed control behind […]

The New York Knicks (15-7) host the Orlando Magic (14-9) in an NBA matinee! The Dynamic Disneys have had the Knicks’ number twice this season, but the odds may be in our favor. New York is becoming a juggernaut on offense, and the road team’s gotta get up to play at noon. Who among you […]

The Knicks made history on Friday, scoring 41 points in the first quarter. Make that make sense. New York plays basketball on Sunday, tip-off set at Noon. It’s an 11 a.m. tip-off in my timezone. Make that make sense. Here’s what we heard around yesterday’s game. Mike Brown On Anunoby’s limited minutes in his return:“It […]

The Utah Jazz (8-14) beat the Brooklyn Nets last night for their second road win. Despite their record, they’ve put forth spunky efforts many times this season. And they have NBA players (Lauri Markkanen, Keyonte George, etc.) on their roster. There was reason to expect the Salt City crew to give the Knicks a little […]

The Knicks return to Madison Square Garden tonight looking to extend their dominant 11–1 home record against a struggling Jazz team that has won just two road games. (One of those wins came last night, in Brooklyn.) New York’s balanced offense meets a Utah defense that has had trouble containing anyone, but few things are […]

The Knicks have been rolling lately, winning five of their last six games to push their record to 14-7, good enough for third place in the East. And with the Utah Jazz (8-13) traveling to the Garden tonight, New York should be in a good position to keep the good times going. Karl-Anthony Towns was […]

The NBA spent the week weighing two significant developments: Oklahoma City’s 21–1 start and the growing possibility that Giannis Antetokounmpo will be available for trade soon. With OKC leaving sneaker prints all over the league, and trade season starting in just ten days, front offices are pondering what re-tooling can be done to challenge the […]

The Knicks bounced back at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night, powering past the Charlotte Hornets 119–104 and extending their home record to 11–1. Karl-Anthony Towns set the tone with a 35-point, 18-rebound performance, while Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart steadied the rotation—just what the doctor ordered after Tuesday’s loss in Boston. Shara Taylor was […]

The Knicks are back on the schedule, and they have another cupcake matchup to take advantage of tonight. New York hosts the Utah Jazz, aiming at putting up their 15th win of the season, something reasonable considering the lads are 11-1 when they hoop inside MSG. Here’s the latest from your superheroes. Mike Brown On […]

The way the Knicks are built, things will never be fully cohesive without their best defender. While OG Anunoby has reportedly resumed taking contact in practice and is inching closer to a return, the Knicks are likely going to slow-play him, not risking things in an 82-game season. So in the meantime, the Knicks have […]

The Knicks didn’t quite convince in their win over the Teal Bees, but a win’s a win. New York hosted Charlotte, drove LaMelo Ball mad, and the youngest of the Big Baller Brothers nearly pulled off the comeback. Too bad it was one vs. a bunch. Here’s what a few Knickerbockers said before and after […]

One of my favorite rocks in my collection is a Jack Hills zircon, a piece so old it predates the Earth having water and a moon. It doesn’t sparkle or shine or light up under UV light the way other rocks do. Doesn’t display different colors depending on where you illuminate it. It doesn’t “do” […]

With everyone buzzing about a possible Thanasis Antetokounmpo trade, basketball was played at Madison Square Garden tonight, with the New York Knicks (14-7) hosting the Charlotte Hornets (6-16). For the second straight night, New York controlled the first quarter (limiting the Stingers to just 12 points) but faltered in the second, clinging to a 53-47 […]

The New York Knicks (13-7) enter tonight’s game against the Charlotte Hornets (6-15) as favorites, but smarting from last night’s close loss in Boston. Our heroes are 10-1 at home, while the injury-shortened Hornets limp in after losing to the Nets on Monday. This would be the perfect game for the Knicks’ bench to get […]

Tuesday night’s game against the Celtics wasn’t necessarily the most frustrating or ugly loss of the season, but it was still frustrating. Jalen Brunson played one of, if not the, worst game of his Knicks career, and Karl-Anthony Towns, who did his part offensively, continued to make his fair share of defensive mistakes. That resulted […]

The Knicks made TD look like Madison Square for a quarter, then got mollywopped and sent packing to the one and only Garden. New York keeps losing road games they should win against subpar teams. Alas. The Knicks are back at MSG tonight with a get-right chance against the ludicrous Hornets. Here’s what you need […]

On a chilly night in Massachusetts, the New York Knicks (13-7) crushed the first quarter behind scorching shooting from McBride and Hart, but the Celtics (12-9) stormed back with a dominant second period and rode Jaylen Brown to a 58–52 halftime score. In the third, Brown kept scoring in the paint (from everywhere, really), the […]

The Knicks head to Boston riding a four-game streak, while the Celts continue to scrap without Jayson Tatum thanks to Jaylen Brown’s scoring and Payton Pritchard’s occasional hot hand. Boston fires up huge shot volumes, but New York arrives with the stronger rebounding, a steadier offense, and better two-way balance. As long as this doesn’t […]
