Are there other contenders who have been underperforming?
Prior to the Knicks’ win over the Trail Blazers, and certainly before their win over the Clippers, the fanbase went through a non-insignificant level of panic. How much trepidation they felt varied, but it was clear that fans were becoming more and more concerned with some of the coaching decisions, the level of play, the […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘Rick is fabulous’
Believe it or not, the Knicks have the day off. New York will keep waiting to welcome their heroes back home, as they still have to visit Sacramento and Golden State this week before a grand return to MSG to host the hot Suns. Here’s a bunch of chatter from the last few hours. Mike […]
As the Knicks get healthier, Mike Brown looks to shorten the rotation
The return of Josh Hart spelled good news for the Knicks, as his constant energy (and 18 points) gave the squad a much-needed refresh. New York marched into Portland and won by nine points after a back-and-forth fourth quarter that ultimately saw the Knicks outwork the Blazers down the stretch. While it was a welcome […]
A Young’n who’s Gun’n
After the Knicks waived Tosan Evbuomwan last Wednesday before his contract became guaranteed, 19-year-old Dink Pate made his case almost immediately. Just two days later with the Westchester Knicks, he delivered a performance that didn’t just argue for that open two-way spot, but also signaled a move toward getting younger across the roster. Over the […]

Knicks make pair of bench players available in trade talks
Last season, the Knicks’ lackluster bench minutes came from Cameron Payne, occasional minutes from Precious Achiuwa, Ariel Hukporti, and just a fraction of a season from Landry Shamet and Delon Wright. Coming into this season, fans were excited about the potential of having a much deeper bench. A big reason for the excitement was the […]
The Knicks needed Josh Hart and his energy
Josh Hart is the literal heart of the Knicks. It’s not just his name. I don’t need to regale you on what Hart does well. We’ve seen it over the past three-ish seasons of him in the orange and blue. He hustles, he’s a good secondary playmaker, he’s an exceptional rebounder, etc. Some fans, though, […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘I kind of had a disagreement with medical’
The New York Knicks welcomed Josh Hart back to the lineup… …and Josh Hart helped them win a game for the first time since forever (well, kinda). Here’s a bunch of quotes from and about Hart, and a few other things coming off a dub in Portland. Mike Brown On his decision to sit Karl-Anthony […]
Knicks 123, Trail Blazers 114: Scenes from a team getting its Hart back
The Knicks (25*-14) had lost five of their last six. The Portland Trail Blazers (19-21) had won seven of their last eight. We expected an exciting contest, and these two delivered. In a game with 19 lead changes, the Bockers built an 11-point edge but surrendered the lead by the middle of the fourth quarter. […]
Game Thread: Knicks at Trail Blazers, January 11, 2026
The Knicks visit Portland to continue their West Coast trip against a Blazers team riding a five-game win streak and fueled by a young core led by Deni Avdija and Shaedon Sharpe. New York arrives searching for balance after a bunch of losses. Help us, Josh Hart-Kenobi—you’re our only hope. Don’t sleep on the Blazers. […]
Game Preview: Knicks at Trail Blazers, January 11, 2026
The Left Coast tour continues for the New York Knicks (24*-14) with a stop in Portland as they visit the Moda Center to battle some tricky Trail Blazers (19-20). The Blazers are hovering around .500, which absolutely reflects their season so far. Following a stumble out of the gate, Portland has stabilized and shown signs […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘He’s a connector. He’s a glue guy’
New York will keep waiting to welcome back their team as the Knicks have three more road games coming up next. Will they return from the West Coast rodeo with a positive balance? For now, it’s 0-1 entering the Blazers matchup. Here’s some said of late. Mike Brown On Josh Hart’s on-court value: “He’s a […]
Knicks Week Preview: Jan. 11-17, 2026
The New York Knicks (24*-14 and clinging to third in the Eastern Conference) are in the midst of a challenging West Coast road trip and a bona fide slump. They’ve won just once in their last six games, and four of the last 10. Their defeat of the Clippers at home on Wednesday did little […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘That’s what you got an agent for’
It looks like the Knicks just can’t get things quite right, can they? Phoenix made New York eat their four L in five attempts, and the folks won’t have it any easier going forward with a few more West Coast games on the horizon. Here’s a little of what was said on Friday night. Mike […]
Suns 112, Knicks 107: Out-clutched in Cactusville
This morning, the temperature in Phoenix, Arizona, was in the forties, as it was back in New York. Different city, same stuff. Tonight, the Knicks turned the ball over 18 times and lost a game. Different city, same stuff. Yet again, New York (24*-14) stumbled out of the gate, falling behind early to the Phoenix […]
Game Thread: Knicks at Suns, January 9, 2026
The Knicks (24*-13) open a four-game West Coast road trip tonight against a quietly strong Phoenix Suns (22-15) team, who, despite limited national buzz, has won seven of its last nine behind Devin Booker and a solid supporting cast. Tonight, the Suns will be without Jalen Green and Jamaree Bouyea, while the Knicks remain short-handed […]
Game Preview: Knicks at Suns, January 9, 2026
The Knicks’ four-game West coast road trip begins tonight, as they face off against the under-the-radar Phoenix Suns. A trip like this should serve as a true litmus test for New York, who were able to steady the ship with a 123-111 Wednesday evening win versus the Clippers, ending an ugly four game slide. Heading […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘I know I can be one of the best point-of-attack defenders’
The Knicks are back. Josh Hart is not. Here are some words. Mike Brown On embracing the recent losing streak: “I hope no one takes this the wrong way, but I embrace it. When you go through what we’ve gone through, nobody wants to lose, but it helps us be better. It helps me be […]
The problem isn’t the double-big lineup, it’s how it’s used
Over the last two years, we’ve seen different iterations of the double-big lineup that features both Karl-Anthony Towns and Mitchell Robinson. There are reasons that both Tom Thibodeau and Mike Brown have gone to it. It matches up better theoretically against bigger teams. It gives them an actual rim protector in Robinson, without giving up […]
The evolution of Deuce McBride
When the Knicks acquired Deuce McBride in the 2021 draft, he was looked at by many as an athletic defensive pest with some playmaking and shooting potential. While his height and lack of vertical ability on the offense were a concern for some, his 6’8.75” wingspan, instantly translatable defense, and encouraging metrics and stats during […]
What the Trae Young trade means for the Knicks and the Eastern Conference
There was an end of an era (error?) in Atlanta on Wednesday, as the Hawks pulled the trigger on a long-rumored trade, ending the Trae Young era by sending him to… [checks notes] …the Washington Wizards in exchange for Corey Kispert and CJ McCollum. No picks going either way. It’s a surreal ending to a […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘I made some shots. I didn’t make a lot of them’
Hard to believe, but the Knicks finally won a thing after a four-game losing skid! It was against the lowly, washed, old-butt Clippers, but you can only beat those in front of you, aimirte? Here’s a bunch of words uttered by Coach Brown and a few others in the past few hours. Mike Brown On […]
Knicks 123, Clippers 111: Knicks end skid, snip the Clips
Tonight the Knicks (24*-13) hosted the surprisingly hot Los Angeles Clippers (13-23) at Madison Square Garden. Said us: we’re kinda worried, with New York having lost four straight games and needing a wind to fill their sails for the upcoming West Coast trip. Said the Knicks: What, us worry? The Clippers jumped out to a […]
Game Thread: Knicks vs. Clippers, January 7, 2026
The New York Knicks (23–13) host the Los Angeles Clippers (13–22) at Madison Square Garden, looking to stop a four-game slide. L.A. arrives playing its best basketball after winning seven of its last eight, tightening its defense and controlling tempo. Kawhi Leonard is playing great basketball again, and James Harden has been upgraded to active […]
For the Knicks, effort is the way out of the skid
Unless you’re the 73-9 Warriors or the 1990s Bulls, a midseason slump is inevitable. Four of the last six NBA champions endured a four-game losing streak at some point. The once-unbeatable OKC Thunder have played .500 ball for the last three weeks after starting 24-1, including getting blown out by the Charlotte Hornets with their […]
