Finally, there will be NBA basketball played in New York today. The Knicks will return to action on Saturday after spending a good bunch of days off the court. New York returned to practice on Friday ahead of today’s matchup and a few players, along with Tom Thibodeau, offered a few thoughts and soundbites to the media members present at the Tarrytown facilities.

The quintessential glue guy. A term that gets thrown around the NBA world a bunch these days is ‘positionless basketball’. And it’s certainly the direction that the league is headed in. Not too long ago, certain skills were associated with certain positions. Point guards would initiate the offense. Shooting guards would score. Forwards would focus on defense and post work. And big men would...

The Knicks didn’t play basketball on Thursday, but they surely won the day as the NBA announced the All-Star Game starters. New York placed not none, not one, but two men among the Chosen 10. Shouts out to Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns, who can now call themselves the first pair of Knickerbockers to make the starting lineup of the mid-season event since Walt Frazier and Earl Monroe...

In the aftermath of the starter reveal, who stacks up to make the reserves? It’s only been 13 days since my first installment of all-star predictions, but last night the first ten all-stars were revealed on TNT. The starters, even though the new format would suggest fifteen starters instead, included our very own Karl-Anthony Towns and Jalen Brunson , marking the first pair of Knicks ...

Congrats to the Knicks’ stars For the second straight year, there were numerous midseason talks surrounding the Knicks ’ chances at having an All-Star starter.

First of three days off for New York but we keep hearing from the team. Quite a break for the Knicks before they get back to action on Saturday following back-to-back wins on Monday and Tuesday. New York will host a resurging team in the Sacramento Kings, but for now, they will enjoy a much-needed few days off getting some reps in the gym and hearing Tom Thibodeau’s whispers. Here’s what...

Amidst a rough stretch of 3-point defense, we look to see if it truly means they’re a bad perimeter defense. In case you’ve been living under a rock, the Knicks aren’t as good of a perimeter defense as in seasons past. Under Tom Thibodeau, here are the yearly opponent 3pt% rankings: 2020-21: 1st (33.7%) 2021-22: 6th (34.2%) 2022-23: T-11th (35.7%) 2023-24: T-16th (36.5%) 2024-25:...

Three different rankings, three different balances. The Knicks might be navigating a home-heavy January schedule but the quirks of it all presented themselves in this week’s power rankings update. That’s because New York was scheduled to play a back-to-back pair of matchups on Monday and Tuesday, coinciding with the release of NBA.com’s article (before Monday’s game) and The Athletic’s...

That’s Using Your Head Some will always say that the original will always take the crown, no pun intended. Anthony Mason was not only the trailblazer behind some of the coolest haircuts in NBA history but also the first Knicks player to showcase his love for the city by way of his noggin... that is, until Josh Hart came along. Mase made his signature cuts famous in 1992. What began as...

New York won, the refs lost (and got scalded). The Knicks played for the second time in as many days to the same outcome: a solid win and one more notch on the left column. On Tuesday, playing on the road but still kinda home, New York finished little brother Brooklyn, final score of 99-95 . Here’s what Coach Thibs and a few other Knickerbockers had to say after yesterday’s affair. ...

With an imperfect performance, New York holds off a feisty Brooklyn team for the third time this season. The New York Knicks (29-16) beat the Hawks 119-110 yesterday in a highly physical game. A day later, they appeared at the Barclays Center to face the Brooklyn Nets (14-30). It’s Rivals Week in the NBA, and New York had already beaten their crosstown rivals twice this season—and...

Trae Young ate an L for the 15th time against New York. In a completely unexpected turn of events, Tom Thibodeau expanded the Knicks rotation from eight to nine men and played Mikal Bridges for only 27 minutes in Monday’s 119-110 win over the Atlanta Hawks. Read that again if you don’t believe it because we’ve witnessed true history. Also making history on MLK Day: Trae Young losing to...

Bill Streicher-Imagn Images No Payne, no gain Amidst the turbulent stretch of games the Knicks have had in January, fans have voiced their concerns over a myriad of things, including, but not limited to, the starters’ minutes, the rotation, the poor second halves, the lack of bench production, and the lack of three-point shooting. And there’s one player who could potentially...

Trae Young hits 6-of-12 from deep, but Jalen Brunson and Mikal Bridges combine for 60 points to defeather the Birds. The New York Knicks (28-16) had already lost twice to the Atlanta Hawks (22-20) this season. In their December matchup, F. Trae Young pretended to roll dice on the Knicks logo at the end of the game. Today, in an MLK Day matinee with playoff intensity, New York dished 31...
