DerMarr entered the league as a 20-year-old rookie burdened with lofty expectations, as critics drew comparisons between his athleticism, style of play, and young age to NBA legends like Kobe Bryant and Tracy McGrady. To help the young rook navigate his way through the rigors of the NBA, the Atlanta Hawks assigned Jimmy Jackson to serve as Johnson’s vet. Jackson took DerMarr under his wing on...

Top five in the league last year. Bottom five in the league this year. What gives? When the New York Knicks repurposed their roster this offseason, one of the biggest question marks regarding rotation construction would be their rebounding. Every time a shot went up last year, New York’s front office and fan base could count on Isaiah Hartenstein to outwork and outhustle the opposition...

The reunion is inching closer and everybody is starting to talk about it. The NBA Cup might or might not be cool but one thing it surely is is a momentum-killer. We’ve barely had basketball league-wide, let alone Knicks -tinted hoops, and we still have a couple of days to wait before New York plays again. The Knicks, however, will be entering a saucy matchup on Thursday when they’ll be...

It was a 500th game worth a 16th win and New York discussed it while doubting its legality. The New York Knicks were eliminated from the NBA Cup, but they won their weekend game, contrary to what the Atlanta Hawks did 24 hours earlier. New York beat Orlando 100-91 on their turf, handing them an L for the first time in Disneyland this season after starting the year 10-0 in their...

The ‘Bockers get back in the win column, handing Orlando their first home loss in a physical affair. The NBA Cup has led to a weird schedule quirk for the New York Knicks and the rest of the league. In the middle of December, while a select few teams battled for the NBA Cup in Las Vegas, teams effectively got a mini-break, with just one game for the Knicks from December 12th to 18th. In...

Knicks look to rebound in Orlando against Jalen Suggs and a depleted Magic squad. The New York Knicks (15-10) will face off against the Orlando Magic (17-10) on Sunday in Orlando. Both teams are looking to solidify their standing in the competitive Eastern Conference. These teams are opposites. The Knicks are a powerhouse offensively (third-best rating) and subpar defensively (ranking...

We want Taj. It’s been a few days but here we are, still talking about Trae Young this Trae Young that ... Speaking of cartoonish characters, the Knicks will visit Disneyland on Sunday evening for a non-quarterfinals matchup against the Orlando Magic in Florida. Here’s what Coach Thibs and a few other Knickerbockers had to say before Sunday’s game. Tom Thibodeau On Mitchell...

Social media is taking too much away from a regular loss in the NBA Cup quarterfinal. Wednesday’s loss to the Hawks was many things. It was a frustrating game to watch, as the New York Knicks struggled offensively, missing open shot after open shot. They were frequently stymied by the length of the Hawks’ defense, particularly Jalen Brunson, who faced challenges against DPOY candidate...

Paul Westphal: What do we make of Westy’s time and legacy as a New York Knickerbocker? Westphal’s playing career was defined by finesse, creativity, and a basketball IQ that felt years ahead of its time, but he did pretty much everything that was included in his HOF resume before arriving in Manhattan in 1982. The Boston Celtics (...) drafted Westphal 10th overall in 1972 and he PW lost no...

New York keeps calm amid an up-and-down season through 25 games and a 15-10 record. The Knicks lost to the Hawks, somehow, so they won’t be allowed to hoop in Vegas today while they wait for their makeup/losers matchup scheduled for Sunday at Disneyland against the Orlando Magic. New York’s mob did practice at their Tarrytown facilities on Friday and a few players talked to the media...

Many names with very few avenues to get them . . . will it be possible? And more importantly, would it be worth it? With recent reports confirming that Mitchell Robinson likely wouldn’t be ready until January or February, trade rumors have started to pick back up again for the New York Knicks . So who exactly could the Knicks target in an attempt to help bolster their roster? Walker...

Bad news from Shams for a team that needs rim protection. On December 11, 2024, NBA insider Shams Charania reported that New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson is unlikely to be cleared to play until at least late January or early February. That’s particularly stinging news for the Knicks after losing 108-100 to the Atlanta Hawks last night and being outrebounded 58-49. Robinson has...

Fudge Trae Young. The New York Knicks have the best offense in basketball, a fairly modest defense, but certainly the absolute worst consistency in the Association. Alas, another loss— this time 108-100 —to the subpar Atlanta Hawks. That result means New York will embark on a trip to Disneyland on Sunday instead of being part of a semifinal matchup in Sin City on Saturday. Sucky, sucky. ...

With KAT in foul trouble, the Hawks outscore the Knicks and dominate the glass to end their NBA Cup aspirations. Tonight at Madison Square Garden, the New York Knicks (15-10) hosted the Atlanta Hawks (14-12) in Quarterfinal of the NBA Emirates Cup. Felt like a playoff game. The first half saw both the Hawks and Knicks brick a bunch, with New York maintaining a slim lead behind...

The weather outside is frightful, but mailbags are always so delightful . . . Dunno what it’s like where you live, but here in western New York it’s been day after day after week after week of gray, chill and muck. Climate change here doesn’t garner the same amount of attention as when it’s sparking Canadian wildfires or Category 5 hurricanes in the Caribbean, but while WNY real estate...
