Thanks for a wonderful season, fellas. Now take a couple weeks to recuperate and get back in the gym! | Photo by Nathaniel S. Butler/NBAE via Getty Images Rough series. Great season. The Knicks defied the odds all year, but when it came time to save their season, they were simply spent. Trae Young, Clint Capela and the rest of the Atlanta Hawks goon squad squashed a battered...

Photo by Wendell Cruz-Pool/Getty Images A season sung from the rooftops ends with a whimper and with hope. And then there were none. No more games. No more adjustments. No alarms and no surprises . The Knicks’ 2021 season came to end with a 103-89 loss to the Atlanta Hawks. The final vintage feels unworthy of the grapes squeezed during a pleasantly surprising year 75 for the...

This team still has some fight left in it. How much? | Photos by Logan Riely/NBAE via Getty Images It ain’t over ‘til it’s over. The Knicks are in a tough spot, but they’ve spent the entire year exceeding expectations and silencing haters. The Hawks have them on the ropes, but one win is all it takes to shift the tide. Can the Knicks win Game 5 and extend their season? Sure they...

Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images They’re struggling badly, a.k.a. improving goodly. These are tough times in Knicksville. The team is down 3-1 in their best-of-7 vs. Atlanta and the past two games did nothing to raise hopes they’ll turn things around. The sweetwater offense of the past few months is a thing of the past and Trae Young looks likely to be a pain in their coolies in...

Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images Is it too late to go back to the regular season? Early in the second half of the Knicks’ 113-96 Game 3 loss in Atlanta, Julius Randle, RJ Barrett and Reggie Bullock all had 3-pointers nearly go in before bouncing out. Sometimes the only real measurable difference between two teams is whose shots go in and whose don’t. When the Knicks won Game 2 the...

Dale Zanine-USA TODAY Sports Bleh. The New York Knicks played some decent basketball in the first half of Game 4. Sure, they allowed a quick 8-0 Hawks run near the end of the half, but they rallied to find themselves down a mere four points. It was a clear step up from the way they had been getting embarrassed in second quarters throughout much of this series. All they needed was a...

Cover your eyes and pretend this game didn’t occur. | Photo by Todd Kirkland/Getty Images Julius, RJ, where art thou? Tom Thibodeau finally relented and started Derrick Rose over Elfrid Payton in Game 3 against the Hawks in Atlanta, but it turns out wins are still difficult to come by when your top two scorers combine for just 21 points on less than 17% shooting. Atlanta sizzled...

Brett Davis-USA TODAY Sports Can’t win with one player. Head coach Tom Thibodeau finally fulfilled the wishes of Knicks fans around the world by benching Elfrid Payton and inserting Derrick Rose into the starting lineup in Game 3. Surely this would fix the slow starts and give the Knicks the advantage heading into the pivotal game, right? Well, about that... Rose actually helped...

Photo by Elsa/Getty Images Good God that felt good. One night in grad school a boy I liked asked me to meet him at a bar called The Old Pink. I got all dolled up, thinking I was headed for one kind of night. When I got there he mentioned his girlfriend was there, the one he’d never really talked about, and did I want to meet her? I didn’t, but excitedly agreed; this boy was never...

Elsa/POOL PHOTOS-USA TODAY Sports Big comeback. Though they had their hearts broken in Game 1, most Knicks fans believed that the team would validate their faith by coming back with gusto in Game 2. For the first half, at least, that was a mistake. The Knicks played perhaps their most pathetic half of the season. The starting five was horrendous — sure, Elfrid Payton was his...
