Knicks 127, Bucks 98: “No worries”

When I first started following the Knicks in 1991, they had three epic losing streaks going on. They hadn’t won in Boston, Chicago or Cleveland for years. Not two or three seasons — the better part of a decade. You don’t forget bullying. Skin remembers. Bones, too. Pro’ly why to this day I’ve at some […]

Knicks Bulletin: ‘Let’s not be results-based. Let’s be process-based’

In case everything collapses in May, the Knicks showed Giannis what New York’s about on Friday. The Greek Freak watched from the sidelines as his current and future teams faced each other in Milwaukee. Here’s what was said before and after the affair. Mike Brown On choosing Diawara over Sochan: “Like, I said, those guys […]

Knicks Week Preview: March 1-7, 2026

The Knicks step into a brutal, spotlight-heavy week that runs through a perennial power, a division spoiler, and two Western contenders chasing banners. This week has the plot of a Saw movie, with Adam Silver playing Jigsaw. Let’s review, Ebert! Sunday, March 1 — Spurs vs Knicks, 1:00 p.m. (ABC) Coming off a beatdown of […]

Who killed Bambi? The Knicks, 127-98

Tonight at the Fiserv Forum, the visiting Knicks (38*-22) took on the suddenly hot Bucks (26-32), which we never saw coming given their gawky adolescent phase. Without Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Deer had won eight of ten and clipped some of the league’s best along the way. Conversely, the unpredictable Knicks had alternated between world-beaters and […]

Game Thread: Knicks at Bucks, February 27, 2026

The Knicks (37*-22) visit the Bucks (26-31) tonight at Fiserv Forum with a chance to take the season series after splitting the first two meetings. Milwaukee has won eight of its last 10 and did so without Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf). Things that make you go hmmm! Meanwhile, New York, with two days of rest, will […]

REPORT: Knicks’ Deuce McBride still unlikely to return before playoffs

The New York Knicks and their fans have had plenty of rough patches over the last few weeks, and the most recent updates regarding Deuce McBride’s injury don’t help. On late Thursday afternoon, Stefan Bondy of the New York Post reported that the backup guard could still “miss the remainder of the regular season.” This […]

Knicks Bulletin: ‘We’re still trying to figure out the system’

This must be the most worrying piece of Knicks quotes I’ve put together to date. Why? Check for yourself. Hint? Read the headline again. Mike Brown On the ugly loss to the Cavaliers: “An ugly game, obviously. We didn’t do much right defensively, we didn’t do much right offensively. Our turnovers in the first half […]

What is the best way to use Jeremy Sochan and Mo Diawara?

The Knicks have depth, but they’re still figuring out how to use it. The starting five, Mitchell Robinson, Jose Alvarado, and Landry Shamet are solidified. When Deuce McBride eventually returns from his sports hernia, he will be too. The battle for the ninth or tenth man, though, is up in the air. On one end, […]

Cavaliers 109, Knicks 94: Scenes from a yawn disguised as a game

The Knicks (37*-22) won two difficult games before they entered Rocket Arena to face the Cavaliers (37-22). In both wins—against the Rockets and the Bulls—there were the customary lulls we’ve come to expect from New York. Tonight, they topped that by going full lull, playing listless hoops from start to finish. They shot horribly from […]

Game Thread: Knicks at Cavaliers, February 24, 2026

The New York Knicks (37*-21) face the Cavaliers (36-22) tonight at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland.This tilt pits third place against fourth in a suddenly congested Eastern Conference.

Game Preview: Knicks at Cavaliers, February 24, 2026

Tonight, New York Knicks (37*-21) take on Donovan Mitchell and the Cleveland Cavaliers (36-22) at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. A win would give the third-place Knicks some breathing room over the fourth-place Cavaliers, but that’s easier said than done. Despite their recent loss to the Thunder, the Ohio Players have been on a tear of […]

The Knicks are a a good team. Stop acting like they aren’t

This hasn’t been the dream season we envisioned entering the year. If you came from the future and told everyone the Knicks would be the No. 3 seed and considerably behind the No. 1 seed in late February, I’d imagine near-universal disappointment. That’s fine, that’s reasonable. What’s not reasonable is the way some people act […]

Knicks Bulletin: ‘I understand it’s something that we need to talk about’

New York half-baked its play for the greater part of Sunday’s affair… …but turned up the heat late and did enough to win another game. Here’s a bunch of stuff said of late by your Knicks superheroes. Mike Brown On Robinson’s absence on Sunday and his back-to-back management: “Obviously, he hasn’t played a back-to-back yet. […]

Knicks 105, Bulls 99: Scenes from a clutch KAT finish

Last night in NYC, the Knicks (37*-21) found another gear to steal one from Houston, while the Bulls (24-34) dropped their eighth straight against Detroit. With both teams on the second night of a back-to-back, we expected fatigue to be a factor. What we didn’t expect was Karl-Anthony Towns (28 PTS, 11 RBS, 5-9 3PT) […]

Game Thread: Knicks at Bulls, February 22, 2026

Playing the second game of a back-to-back, the New York Knicks (36*-21) face the Chicago Bulls (24-33) tonight at United Center. The Bulls list Anfernee Simons as day-to-day with a wrist issue and Jaden Ivey out with knee soreness. The Knicks are heavily favored thanks to Chicago’s eight-game skid and general stinkability. Tip-off at 8 […]

Fresh off a fourth-quarter heist at the Garden, the Knicks (36*-21) head to the United Center to face the Chicago Bulls (24–33). The matchup gives New York a chance to firm up its hold on third place against a Bulls team that has lost as many consecutive games as an octopus has arms. (That’s eight, […]

Knicks Bulletin: ‘We found a way’

The Knicks looked like they were about to put us into another deep depression… …until they didn’t. Oh, boy, they didn’t. Here’s everything to know about the night in which New York sent KD back to Twitter. Mike Brown On comeback resilience: “We found a way, that’s what I’m most excited about; we found a […]

Knicks Week Preview: Feb. 22-28, 2026
