The Toronto Raptors (14-7) had a tough night yesterday, with an overtime loss to the Hornets that snapped their nine-game win streak. Less than 24 hours later, they took the court in NYC to face the New York Knicks (13-6). Even with fatigue, travel, and missing RJ Barrett, we expected more from the Canadian Club. […]
The New York Knicks (12-6) host the Toronto Raptors (14–6) at MSG tonight, in what will be as tough test against a Canadian team that matches badly for our heroes. The Raptors play great defense, especially on the perimeter, and Bradon Ingram and Scottie Barnes will be drive hard at the Knicks frontcourt. Toronto snapped […]
The New York Knicks (12–6) welcome the Toronto Raptors (14–6) to Madison Square Garden tonight in what feels like a temp check. New York is riding a three-game winning streak, most recently handling the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday night, 118–109. They’re rested and practically unbeatable at home (9–1 at the Garden, curse those Magic punks). […]
The Knicks are in. New York hosted the Bucks on Friday, beat them nicely, punched their tickets for the quarters of the tourney. Here’s what a few of yesterday’s protagonists had to say before and after the final group-stage NBA Cup game. Mike Brown On the pressure of playing a must-win NBA Cup game: “One […]
When Milwaukee (8-12) beat New York (12-6) in October, the Knicks attempted 40 three-pointers, and the Bucks made 14-of-34 from deep. The Wisconsinites shot well back then; they shot even better in the first half tonight, and making 58% from the field and 12-of-22 from deep kept them in control for most of two quarters […]
The Knicks (11-6) return to MSG after a five-game road trip for a decisive NBA Cup matchup with the struggling Bucks (8-11). New York can clinch Group C with a win, while Milwaukee arrives on a six-game skid and leaning almost entirely on its three-point shooting. The Knicks will again be without OG Anunoby, and […]
Hope you survived the Battle of the Belly Bulge 2025. On the heels of a 3-2 road trip, and stuffed to the gills with Thanksgiving turkey, the Knicks (11–6) return to the hallowed halls of Madison Square Garden to host the Bucks of Milwaukee (8–11). The game starts at 7:30 PM. Stream it on Amazon […]
It’s the Knicks in MSG, so obviously, it’s the perfect time for Giannis to return from the sidelines on Friday. Anyway. Knicks in six, win and in, etc, etc… Here’s everything from your Knickerbockers as we leave Thanksgiving in the rearview mirror and get ready for the next stretch of hoops till Christmas. Mike Brown […]
Pablo Torre isn’t ready to sound the alarm on the New York Knicks’ business with Jalen Brunson. Torre, whose reporting led to the infamous NBA investigation into the Los Angeles Clippers and Kawhi Leonard, appeared on “The Joe Budden Podcast” this week to address the speculation about Brunson and his deal with New York. The […]
The Knicks beat the Hornets, what a shocker! New York players got back home to celebrate Thanksgiving with their families as they gear up for Deer dessert on Friday. Here’s what your Knickerbockers had to say before and after playing the Blue Bees on Thanksgiving Eve. Mike Brown On keeping Landry Shamet on the roster:“That’s […]
Tonight at the Spectrum Center, the New York Knicks (11-6) routed the Charlotte Hornets (4-14) behind swarming defense, relentless rim pressure, and sizzling shooting. Josh Hart and Miles McBride impressed, Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns controlled the halfcourt, and Mitchell Robinson (playing with the second unit) dominated the paint. Charlotte bricked threes, coughed up turnovers, […]
The New York (10–6) roll into Charlotte to face the struggling Hornets (4–13), who have dropped six straight. The Knicks hope to keep their NBA Cup hopes alive while battling their well-documented road issues; they’ve won just two away games all season, and their offensive rating sinks from 123.8 at home to 114.4 away from […]
When Landry Shamet grabbed his shoulder and ran to the locker room during last week’s contest against the Magic, Knicks fans were shaken. Shamet had been a godsend for a Knicks team that had had its share of ups and downs. His three-point shooting and defense had been pivotal in keeping the Knicks afloat during […]
After waking up in the second half to take care of business against the lowly Nets on Monday night, New York continues their road trip by going into Charlotte to take on the 4-13 Hornets. Charlotte started the season off on a relatively good note, going 2-1 in their first three games, but has struggled […]
Monday night in Brooklyn, the Knicks picked up their tenth win of the season. What have we learned after sixteen games of data? First, depending on the venue, the Knicks are very Jekyll-and-Hyde-y. At Madison Square Garden, they are a juggernaut with an 8–1 record at home. With the Garden faithful at their backs and […]
Shara Taylor was at Barclays Center on Monday night as the Knicks beat the Nets, 113–100, in a ‘road’ win powered by Karl-Anthony Towns’ 37 points and Jalen Brunson’s steady leadership. Shorthanded without OG Anunoby, Landry Shamet, and Mitchell Robinson, New York shook off a sluggish start to take control after halftime. Here’s Shara with […]
It’s late November, which means it’s time for everyone’s favorite sporting event. No, it’s not the Thanksgiving Day Parade or Turkey Day football. It’s the NBA Cup, silly. The final two days of group play are upon us, and the Knicks are once again in the mix to advance in the relatively meaningless in-season tournament. […]
The Knicks beat the Nets for the 12th consecutive time on Monday. At some point, we’ll need to stop calling this a rivalry, won’t we? Here’s what the protagonist had to say before and after yesterday’s demolition. Mike Brown On Hart’s defensive effort on Monday: “That’s what leadership is about.” On Towns’ performance against the […]
When New York (10-6) and Brooklyn (3-14) squared off earlier this month, the Knicks roasted their little borough brothers by 36 in a wire-to-wire win. Tonight’s rematch, this time at Barclays, had a less auspicious start. The short-handed Knicks played from behind through most of the first two periods, but managed to take a 51-48 […]
The New York Knicks (9-6) head to Barclays Center to face the bumbling Brooklyn Nets (3-13). The Knicks need a rebound game after another road loss, and this promises to be just what the doctor ordered: the Nets are mired in a seven-game home losing streak and rank near the bottom in scoring (109.8 PPG) […]
Tonight, it’s a crosstown bash between the 9-6 New York Knicks and the 3-13 Brooklyn Nets. The five-game road trip technically continues for the Knicks, but it’ll happen tonight in familiar territory and against a far lower squad they should hope to make quick work of. The Knicks are fresh off the wrong end of […]
It’s get-right week for the Knicks as they’ll enjoy three G League-level matchups against the Nets, the Hornets, and the Bucks sandwiching Thanksgiving! New York crosses the bridge to visit Brooklyn today, followed by a trip to Charlotte on Wednesday and a return to MSG to feast on the Deer. Here’s the latest from a […]
One of my two favorite holidays is four days away. For the past four months I’ve lived with a new gastrointestinal reality, one that strictly restricts the variety and volume of foods I can enjoy in my middle age. I don’t wanna think about that. I’d rather think about the many excellent questions raised by […]
Are the Knicks contenders or a bunch of pretenders? Is New York a legitimate threat to any of the Western Conference favorites? Judging by Saturday’s outing, winning the chip is still a no-no thing. Here’s what we’ve heard of late. Mike Brown On Franz Wagner’s skillset: “He’s big first of all, he’s long, strong. He’s […]
Ten days ago, the Orlando Magic (10-7) snapped the Knicks’ (9-6) perfect home win streak. Tonight was supposed to be the get-even game. Not quite. The Knicks managed to take a 66-64 lead into intermission despite an underwhelming first-half performance. After the break, the home team got serious and even more physical (if you can […]
