NY Post (Greg Joyce) —
There is never a good time for a 44-point loss, after which a coach says his team did not believe it could beat its opponent. But David Fizdale sees otherwise, perhaps because his job depends on it. And the Knicks will have an immediate chance to prove him right that it was just one bad...

Allonzo Trier doesn’t know what the future holds. It’s as big a mystery to him as David Fizdale’s chances of finishing his second season. The second-year shooting guard knows the present has not been ideal. The former Arizona star has not played in eight of the last 10 games. During Monday’s horrific 44-point loss in...

If David Fizdale is going to be made the scapegoat by Knicks president Steve Mills for his hodgepodge roster, it’s going to take a little while longer. According to an NBA source, Monday’s 44-point blowout loss in Milwaukee did not put the Knicks coach in any immediate danger, as bad as the optics were. Fizdale,...

The Knicks were destroyed by the Bucks on Monday night, losing by 44 points. That means there’s one thing you need to be locked into this Tuesday (and every Tuesday)…a brand-new episode of the “Big Apple Buckets” podcast with Kazeem Famuyide. Kaz opens up the show with an epic rant about the bad loss, the...

MILWAUKEE — Knicks rookie RJ Barrett had never played a home/road back-to-back with a plane ride in between. He didn’t take to it. In the worst performance of his rookie season, Barrett went 0-for-9 from the field, finishing with two points and one assist in 20 minutes Monday night. Twice he drove to the basket...

MILWAUKEE — The Knicks went from bad to disgusting Monday at Fiserv Forum. The Bucks are the NBA’s hottest team and favorite to reach the NBA Finals. The Knicks were without two stalwart defensive-minded starters in Frank Ntilikina and Marcus Morris, and were playing the second night of a back-to-back, but were still humiliated 132-88....

MILWAUKEE — While two-way G-League point guard, Kadeem Allen was flown into town as an emergency addition Monday night with Frank Ntilikina sidelined, Elfrid Payton was on the verge of shaking up the point-guard situation. Before the Knicks faced the Bucks at Fiserv Forum, Payton said he will be cleared to practice fully by Wednesday....

MILWAUKEE — Former Knicks shooting coach Dave Hopla worked the Garden during more prosperous times — two seasons with Mike Woodson during which the club won 54 games in 2012-13 and lost out by one game for a playoff berth the following season. That playoff miss was considered a travesty back then, and former president...

It was Kids’ Day at the Garden on Sunday afternoon. There were kid announcers, kid reporters, kid dancers and a poorly executed baby race at halftime that turned into more of a sit-in. While youth was a good thing as far as the pageantry was concerned, it didn’t serve the Knicks well during their final...

Celtics center Enes Kanter posted a double-double in his first game against the Knicks since being waived last season, schmoozed with James Dolan after the final buzzer and then gave the Knicks owner a vote of confidence. Kanter was quoted on a Bleacher Report podcast in the offseason, wondering whether free-agent stars didn’t head to...

Knicks coach David Fizdale has been wearing his FDNY sweatshirt for weeks, but he still can’t put out the fire. If Fizdale was under a 10-game tryout since the Steve Mills Press Conference Game, the audition ended in disappointing fashion when the Knicks blew another lead and dropped a 113-104 decision to the Celtics in...

J. Cole grew up in the same town as Dennis Smith Jr. and, as legend has it, once tried to walk on to the basketball team at St. John’s. The famous rapper, who graduated magna cum laude from the Queens school in 2007, was a popular attendee at Knicks practice Saturday in Tarrytown. Smith is...

Kevin Knox doesn’t have to look very far to learn from another recent top-10 draft pick of the Knicks who spent entire games on the bench during his first two NBA seasons. Frank Ntilikina went through what Knox experienced for the first time in his career Friday night, having a “DNP-CD” (Did Not Play —...

The Jets already have four wins. The Giants already have two. We know for certain, then, that our football teams, if nothing else, will do nothing historic in the way of failure this year. Now go and build a marketing slogan from that! The Knicks … they are a different subject. They are 4-15 after...

The Knicks’ season-long failure at the free-throw line cost them again Friday night. David Fizdale lamented that his team, which entered ranked 30th in the NBA from the charity stripe at 67.2 percent this season, missed 14 of 33 free throw attempts in a 101-95 loss to the 76ers at the Garden. “Overall, I thought...
