Bleh! Bleh! Bleh! For the past three years , summer + P&T = the Punchies , an award show based on the classic 1980’s NES game Mike Tyson’s Punch Out!! devoted to the Knicks, the numbers, the nuts who follow the team and the narratives swirling around both.

JD & The Straight Suck James Dolan took to the vaunted stage of Fox 5’s Good Day New York to perform his dulcet new personal acquittal of his continued peripheral involvement in sexual harassment and assault. James Dolan on Fox 5 says that he is not selling the Knicks. He also plays a song, “I Should Have Known” about friends he knew, including Harvey Weinstein “and others”, who were...

It’s complicated. Riddle me this: last year, at 29, Lance Thomas set a career-high in games played and started 31 times, the second-most of his career. That’s good, right? Yet Thomas averaged just 4 points and 2.4 rebounds a night, playing his fewest minutes per game since he was a New Orleans Hornet. These facts are at odds. Such is the tao of Lance, basketball myrmecoleon : a creature of...

Another shrewd move from Scott Perry and Steve Mills to prep for 2019 free agency. One of the best and worst feelings in life, to me, is the feeling of having some money burning a hole in my pocket. Maybe it’s a tax return, or some money from the relatives that keep sending me birthday cash (even as I get closer and closer to 30 years old). But having an extra $100 that I wouldn’t really...

Why though? The New York Knicks ’ front office have done an admirable job this summer adding young players to their roster. But the duo of Scott Perry and Steve Mills remain just as committed to ridding themselves of their oldest player, center Joakim Noah . Per Ian Begley and Adrian Wojnarowski , the new David Fizdale coaching regime has done nothing to change the front office’s...

The world wants the Knicks! NBA fans and media from different parts of the country might not agree on much, but over the past few days I have seen the whole hep basketball rise up, from sea to shining sea, and declare in one voice: “We want to see more of the 2018-19 New York Knicks on national TV!” It doesn’t matter if you live in DC, Dallas, or whatever the city in Utah is called —...

Merry Christmas, now watch the Knicks get rolled If you were worried that a probably-Kristaps-Porzingis-less Knicks team might preclude you from watching the Knicks on Christmas this year, fret not! Marc Stein of the New York Times is reporting that the Knicks will play the Bucks during yuletide this year: A vintage dose of Celtics/Sixers, Giannis and the Bucks at MSG against the Knicks...

Ask away! The World Cup is over. The Yankees’ season don’t really count till October. The Mets? Done by May. NBA free agency and summer league are as dust in the wind. What’s a girl to do? Mailbag, that’s what! Our last mailbag featured discussions of David Fizdale, the Atlantic Division, animals both free and domesticated, G.O.A.T.s, and the lowest species of all: the Boston...

Let’s advance the modern game. We have been delivered unto August ... however delirious, liquefied and musky. NBA players are largely heading to their bunkers to fine tune their bespoke and yoked selves. Some will emerge svelte, others will see their Feltonian shadow and scurry back inside. Training camps don’t open until the last week of September. So now is the time to ruminate on...

Less Kristaps...but more wins? Nothing makes basketball fans stand up and reached for their hot take pajamas faster than a good old fashioned “next season team projection” piece. ESPN’s Kevin Pelton brought out his vaunted projection model this week for all 30 NBA teams (Insider only) , and pegged the Knicks for 30.8 wins, good enough for 13th in the Eastern Conference. The ‘Bockers would...
