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” […]

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.

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 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 […]

The Knicks, maybe more than any other NBA franchise, embraces their former players. With the exception of Charles Oakley (we won’t get into that right now), they routinely bring back their alumni to playoff games and their fans have made a tradition out of repeating the phrase, “Once A Knick, Always A Knick”, even if […]
