Stop getting out-shot by Wayne Ellington. Hello. I’m supposed to recap the Knicks ’ 107-103 overtime loss to the Miami from Friday night. Here’s my problem, though: These losses are all the same. The only real difference between Friday and many of the Knicks’ recent losses is that Courtney Lee ’s wack-ass game-tying heave caromed off the rim right to Kristaps Porzingis , who found Doug...

Cool it with all the Jarrett Jack, Knicks. Good gravy, the Knicks are bad right now. The Miami Heat farted around for 48 minutes (plus overtime) with the nastiest case of team-wide butterfingers I’ve seen in a while, and it was still good enough to get past the Knicks, who despite a miracle three from Doug McDermott to send the game into overtime (off a busted play, of course) played...

Who is Ben Davis? On today’s ‘sode I preview the Knicks’ Friday night matchup against the reviled Miami Heat, looking at how the Heat have been playing recently and who their most hateable player is. Then I gab about Kristaps saying he’s tired and close the show with a history lesson on the randomest dude from the Knicks’ 1997-98 roster. Listen!

He might help an offense that has turned crappy in recent weeks. The New York Knicks ’ scoring attack is a veritable poop stew and the moment—with extra poop—so it would be nice if they had the services of a scoring guard who attended the University of Michigan. No, I’m not referring to Tim Hardaway Jr. According to Stefan Bondy , Hardaway’s old college teammate, point guard Trey Burke...

If you missed tonight’s loss but saw last night’s, you’re pretty much all caught up. Today I started working on a new song. It’s going to take a while before any part of it feels under my control. When you have a song under control, you can disassociate from your body and observe yourself playing as if it’s someone else. It’s an eerily delicious out-of-body experience. If you don’t...

At least the first half was competitive? Another road game, another uninspiring loss. After a back-and-forth first half, the Wizards stormed out of the gate in the third quarter and buried the Knicks , expanding their lead from 1 point to 17 in 9 post-halftime minutes. The Knicks mounted a half-assed fake comeback in the middle of the 4th, but it was for naught. Sound familiar? This...

LoOk at Me, I’M FUndAmENtalLy soUNd! On today’s ‘sode I break down the Knicks’ loss to the dork brigade from San Antonio, pointing out key factors in the defeat including KP’s lackluster play, free throw shooting disparity, tight rims, and MORE! Listen!

Come back soon, Tim. The Knicks were very much in Tuesday’s game with the San Antonio Spurs in the first half, even building up an eight-point lead in the second quarter. Yet even the largest Knicks lead came with a familiar asterisk—their opponent was getting looks from beyond the arc, but the shots just weren’t falling. Yet. The shots would eventually fall, of course—these are the...

Spurs win. Well, that certainly was...something. The New York Knicks lost to the San Antonio Spurs Tuesday night by a score of 100-91. The ‘Bockers led throughout most of the first half, but San Antoino stormed back to take a three-point lead at halftime. New York came out flat as hell offensively in the third quarter, and Jeff Hornacek went into his bag of tricks to pull out some...

Blessed are the unsung, for they shall feature in this column. In 1972 a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can...

Ho Ho Ho! Happy New Year, dear Posters (and Toasters)! As you drink lots of water and try to put your head back together, here are some holiday greetings and musings from the New York Knickerbockers to make your 2018 bright. In the NBA, Christmas is a working day and the holidays are not a time of rest. Nonetheless Kristaps Porzingis carved out some family time with his tall family (and a...

First there was joy. Then pain. Then, redemption. The Knicks opened 2017 with a 115-103 loss back on January 2nd to the Orlando Magic. Carmelo Anthony led them in scoring that night with 19. Derrick Rose added 18. The leading scorers off the bench were Brandon Jennings and Mindaugas Kuzminskas. Kristaps Porzingis was unavailable. The defeat dropped them to 16-18, part of a six-game losing...

Road woes, road schmos. The New York Knicks, having made 2017 the year of re-establishing homecourt dominance, evinced some rare road competence with a 105-103 come-from-behind-after-falling-from-ahead win in New Orleans. This was the kind of game where your team is up big but you’re never comfortable, then as they fall apart you shake your head at your own prescience, only then they come...

Let the Frenchise take over. The beauty of lowering one’s expectations is that it becomes more and more difficult to feel pain. The New York Knicks came into San Antonio riding a streak of three soul-crushing losses. Those losses, combined with the opponent (very good!) made it easy to dismiss this game as an ‘L’ even before the opening tip. And, lo, it was a loss! The Knicks played the ...
