Someone has to win. The big Summer League finale is here!! Neither the Knicks or the Lakers have won a game so far. The Knicks were the gambler’s favorite to win at all. Old habits die hard and the Knicks tanked it out. Whoops! The good news (?) is that the Lakers stunk it up too. No wins, six losses, battle of los bastardos. Who? Can the Knicks finally snag one? Or are they...

Understatement of the century So let’s get the one positive out of the way first... R.J. Barrett played pretty good last night. At least, better than the first two games of Summer League, which isn’t saying that much... But trust me when I say that even the smallest of victories mattered in this slog of a game. Yeah, the Knicks lost, 85-73. “Got their asses kicked” is probably a more...

Still lost, though. The New York Knicks dropped their third consecutive game of the Las Vegas Summer League campaign, falling to the Toronto Raptors by the score of . The Raptors are world champions ... but these weren’t those guys ... but these guys were still way better than anyone the Knicks threw out there. Toronto’s boys of summer fell behind in the first quarter, but stormed...

Lots to process here. The New York Knicks announced five of their six big free agent acquisitions today, leaving everyone to ask what the heck was going on with Reggie Bullock. Did something happen with his physical? Yes, as it turns out, something did happen. The Knicks are now working with Bullock’s agent, David Bauman, to lower the terms of the two-year$20 million contract they had...

Who is the Summer League Drake? The Summer Knicks look to finally get in the win column tonight against the Summer Raptors who were reeling and then rolling in their last outing. The Raps came back from a 26-point deficit, only to lose by three. Will that maple aroma of the Raptors uniforms remind RJ Barrett of home, make him feel comfortable, and finally allow him the break out...

How did the Knicks fare at developing their young players last season? Warning: meaningless meandering basketball philosophizing comes first, evaluating how we developed our players last season comes second — so feel free to skip my rambles and scroll down to the good stuff! Player development was supposed to be the main attraction of the Fizdale-Perry Administration in MSG. We heard...

I think that went well. After having their first game cut short, we got the director’s cut for the Summer Knicks ’ second game. This one went into overtime after some Iggy Brazdeikis heroics. Unfortunately the summer dudes ran out of runway and the Suns made their face dO LiKe tHiS . It’s been three months since I last recapped. Have I worked on my game? No. So let’s overanalyze...

Iggy good. Have you been jonesing to watch your New York Knicks blow a big lead, mount a comeback, then come crashing down at the end? Of course you were — Lord knows, we haven’t seen it enough over the past few years. Well you were in luck Sunday night, friends, because the Knicks of Summer League did not disappoint in disappointing at the end. Playing a Phoenix Suns club resting both...

No earthquakes, plz. After an earthquake shortened game on Friday, the Summer Knicks get back down to business tonight against the Summer Suns . Phoenix was set to play the game after New York on Friday, that too was canceled, so this will be their debut. New York will try to recapture some of their early success where the ball was popping around and the players were moving in...

The remaining portion of the game will not be made up. Not everyday you get the final score without the final buzzer. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before. In the 2014 Finals when the AC went out in San Antonio, but they played on. The Malice at the Palace had 45 seconds left in the game. I don’t remember if it was actually canceled. Several people got their bells rung, so it...

AN EARTHQUAKE Well, that was certainly a first. With 7:56 left in the fourth quarter of the Knicks ’ first Summer League game, a 7.1-magnitude earthquake hit Ridgecrest, CA, sending shock waves to Los Angeles and Las Vegas: Update: The epicenter was in Ridgecrest, CA, the same location as the July 4th shaker. This one, though, was much stronger at 7.1 magnitude. That's larger than the...

That’s right, our very own former 36th overall draft pick has played his way into some serious opportunity. Per Tim...

Mitch has a delightful Southern drawl. The New York Knicks of Summer practiced on Day 2 of their Las Vegas excursion, but not before making sure to sign first-round pick RJ Barrett .
