Burning desire. Talk about a spicy way to kick off the Knicks news cycle the week before Memorial Day. Well, it somewhat started last week as Trae Young’s father, Ray, told the New York Daily News that his son wants the spotlight of Madison Square Garden. “That’s what Trae lives for,” Ray Young said. “He lives for that type of stuff.

Knicks are the best! For the first time since drafting Patrick Ewing No. 1 overall in 1985, the New York Knicks have moved up in the draft thanks to the lottery. WE DID IT! But wait...aren’t the Knicks picking No. 9 overall? That’s not moving up, is it? I’m not talking about the first round, dummy. Because the Sacramento Kings jumped into to No. 2 spot, the Knicks’ second-round...

Knicks fans, are you tired of the boring, vanilla assist-to-turnover ratio? Does it bother you that it equates the cost of turnovers to the benefits of assists? Have you ever thought to yourself, “I wish there was a statistic that properly captured the rewards and penalties of assists and turnovers have on the outcome of a game? If your answer is “what weirdo actually thinks about these...

Viva Las Frankie. Freshly-minted Knicks head coach David Fizdale made it a point to let the world know he plans to visit Kristaps Porzingis in Latvia, but real woke-ass Knicks fans were wondering if he’d stop by the other side of the continent to visit rookie point guard Frank Ntilikina in France.
