Photo by Patrick Smith/Getty Images They didn’t get the Tank memo. The crowd at the Capital One Arena chanted “ OBI TOPPIN ” for good reason. The electrifying power forward set another career-high last night, finishing with 35 points and leading the Knicks (36-45) to a 114-92 win over a depleted Washington Wizards (35-46) squad in New York’s final road game of the season....

Geoff Burke-USA TODAY Sports The kids were alright. The New York Knicks defeated the Washington Wizards, 114-92, on Friday night in DC. That will likely cause some consternation among Knicks fans, as it drops the Knicks behind the Wiz and into 11th place in the draft lottery standings. Washington finishes their season Sunday at the Hornets, so there’s little chance they will fall...

Photo by Focus on Sport via Getty Images Nobody beats the Wiz...except most of the league. On Wednesday, the New York Knicks (35-45) lost again, this time to the Brooklyn Bums . The first half of the game was a delight. The second half reminded us why the Knicks are outside of the playoffs and peering through the window at the party. “There’s Giannis! He’s so cool,” says...

Gregory Fisher-USA TODAY Sports It’ll all be over soon. One day Tom Thibodeau reached a river wide and swift. He couldn’t see any way across. Thibs thought he’d have to turn back when he spotted a frog by the bank of the stream on the other side of the river. “Hellooo Mr. Frog,” he called across the water, “Would you be so kind as to give me a ride on your back across the river?” ...

Gregory Fisher-USA TODAY Sports Offensive. Wednesday night’s game against the Nets meant absolutely nothing to the New York Knicks . They have already been eliminated from playoff contention. In fact, you could argue that a loss would be preferable — it would help them maybe grab the ninth or 10th pick in the Draft. Of course, these are the Knicks, and every loss must be as...

Photo by Sarah Stier/Getty Images Knives out at the Garden as the Knicks try to avoid the sweep. The Brooklyn Nets (41-38) beat up the Rockets last night. As they were supposed to. The Nets haven’t been the powerhouse that preseason prognosticators predicted they would be, but Houston is pretty much the league’s piñata. Nobody was shocked. Brooklyn is 5-5 over the last 10...

Brad Penner-USA TODAY Sports Everyone has their theories. Abe: Jayson, it’s a very mid Sunday evening here in New York City. The vibes at Bunton’s were meh so I came home early and got to reflecting on what was one of the more aggravating Knicks seasons this century, which is really saying something. We will have the next several months to reflect on many shoulda woulda couldas,...

Photo by Tayfun Coskun/Anadolu Agency via Getty Images The heir to the power forward throne is ready, so there must be a changing of the guard It is funny how quickly perceptions change. Just over a month ago, the Knicks were stuck in a seemingly never-ending losing streak sandwiching the All-Star Break. All hope was lost until three wins against varying levels of competent teams...

Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports Toppin and Knicks youth go ballistic in front of Orlando Knicks fans Let’s put something to rest. Obi Toppin is a top-five player from his 2020 draft class. Sure, Anthony Edwards, LaMelo Ball, Tyrese Haliburton, and Tyrese Maxey are very good. But who the hell else would you rather have than Toppin? And please don’t say, Desmond Bane. If Toppin averaged...

Photo by Elsa/Getty Images Bookending the season with a trip to Orlando. Tom Thibodeau is finishing off the second-worst season of his 10-year career as an NBA head coach. (The 2016-17 Timberwolves went 31-51 and .378.) His New York Knicks are 34-44 and shut out of the playoffs, which is a far cry from the preseason expectations for this team. The latest indignity was a...

Tom Horak-USA TODAY Sports 78 down. Four to go. Nine years ago, after we dropped our kid off on the morning school bus and were walking the mile or so we lived from the beach, my then-girlfriend told me she wanted to become my now-ex-girlfriend. It wouldn’t be fair to say it came completely out of left field, but it definitely had warning-track power. I never saw it coming. The...

Tom Horak-USA TODAY Sports Good game at the free-throw line, Obi. The New York Knicks got steamrolled by the Cleveland Cavaliers Saturday afternoon, 119-101. The Cavs led by nine after the first quarter, and the game rarely got closer than that. Cleveland shot 54.3% from the field and had seven players score in double figures. Yeah, it was like that. RJ Barrett played his worst game...

A basketball game will be played on Sunday afternoon when the New York Knicks (34-43) host the Cleveland Cavaliers (42-35). The slow-footed Cavs sit seventh in NBA Eastern Conference, have the league’s seventh-best defensive rating, and are 20th in offense. They are gearing up for their first...
