The KD hoopla continues as we wait for free agency The NBA playoffs are in full swing and Kevin Durant is busy trying to win his third straight title with the Golden State Warriors , but anonymous sources say he’s also counting down the days until he can sign with the Knicks , which just tied the worst record in franchise history by finishing the season 17-65. If that doesn’t sound at...

In which we go back to the past to go back to the future... April’s mailbag features questions submitted way back in February. That may seem incongruous, but when you see what was on Knick fans’ minds back then, they’re the same questions you’d expect to hear after the season ended. Almost as if this year were a dream we’re all just waiting to wake up and move on from. 1) The best-laid...

He’s all the Knicks have going for them (besides cap space) There was little reason to watch the Knicks this season when Mitchell Robinson wasn’t on the floor, and although there are obvious candidates who sit above him in the Rookie of the Year hierarchy, Robinson deserves consideration and at least a few votes, and he should absolutely be selected to one of the All-Rookie teams. ...

How did the Knicks grade out this season? Hello, hell hounds. We decided over at P&T HQ to assess this horrendous season. We came together to ask ourselves the hardest hitting questions. Does Enes Kanter have a Prince Albert? Is Kristaps Porzingis truly a venomous snake? Are those the same things? Hurry up and read on to find out. Who was the 2018-19 Knicks MVP? MMiranda: ...

The former McDonald’s All American has grown immensely during brief time in the G-League. Even during my fifth and most-recent season of covering the NBA’s G-League, I was still amazed at the caliber of talent playing. In case you didn’t know this, but on any given night, you, me, or anybody else could be watching the likes of former college stars, NBA veterans, and recent draft picks and...

He’s got skills, potential and youth The 2018-19 season was one long drawn out sophomore slump for Frank Ntilikina , and there’s a foreboding feel about the way his campaign concluded, but the franchise should show restraint and retain him because has already proven he can be a valuable NBA player. Haters will point to Ntilikina ’s negligible statistics and say the 20-year-old...

Sounds good. Knicks president didn’t speak over the last two months of the craptacular 2018-19, but now he’s ready to tangle once more with the New York press, including interviews both on the radio and with The New York Post. Much of the interview with The Post was simply more of a Knicks front office member belaboring the point that yes, New York is the greatest city in the world and...

When and why things didn’t work. Much hullabaloo has been made about the state of the Knicks ’ offense this year. We’ve all heard or asked variations of the following questions: Is it too isolation-heavy? Is there a system? Where is the ball and player movement? Is David Fizdale — pissed off that EA doesn’t make NBA Street anymore — just trying to get Trier to bust out a Level 2...

Could June see the Knicks land a Kristaps Porzingis-like talent? Four years ago, the Knicks were lucky to land a freakishly tall, freakishly athletic big man with freakish range, skills and moves in Kristaps Porzingis. But this season’s push-the-red-button re-do that shipped KP to Shark Tank left an 87-inch hole in New York’s foundation. Could Bol Bol, ex-NBAer Manute’s non-minute...

Is this truly troublesome, or just unavoidable drama after a lost season? Although the regular season is mercifully over, the drama surrounding New York’s only playoff-less basketball team never ends, with the New York Post reporting on Monday that some Knicks did not enjoy playing with Allonzo Trier this year because of his iso-heavy style of play. The report came by way of Marc...

Take it to the polls! Adios, 2018-19 season. Love, unsurprisingly, tore us apart again. No surprise if you’ve been following along for the past few generations, but that ache can always finds a new pit in your heart. “Ever onward” should be the mindset. Knicks players and management seem staid on the path to build as many small successes as they can stack up. New York currently sits on...

Hopefully the Big Fella can help turn the karmic tide in New York If your freezer isn’t already filled with envelopes, the time to stock it would be now, as the Knicks revealed on Saturday that former number one overall pick Patrick Ewing will represent the team during the draft lottery on May 14. The announcement, which Ewing himself hinted at a few days ago , is a breath of fresh air...

Developing an understanding of what made the Knicks tick on offense this season Much hullabaloo has been made about the state of the Knicks ’ offense this year. We’ve all heard or asked variations of the following questions: Is it too isolation-heavy? Is there a system? Where is the ball and player movement? Is David Fizdale — pissed off that EA doesn’t make NBA Street anymore — just trying...

Both finished 17-65, but which one was worse? Our New York Knickerbockers put the cherry on top of a shit sundae of an 82-game regular season on Wednesday night in a 115-89 drubbing at the hands of the playoff-bound Detroit Pistons . The game really wasn’t even as close as that score suggests, and the competitive portion was finished right around the first TV timeout of the game. But...

The season is over. The tanking, too? Notes: No Blake Griffin for Detroit with everything on the line. No problem. Andre Drummond stepped up for 20 points and 15 rebounds. Hot start for the big fella. #PistonsNow x @RocketFiber ...
