New York Knicks: Posting and Toasting Blog Articles

Allen, a former second round pick, is the definition of hard working. A wise man once said, “there’s beauty in the struggle.” And while many will disagree with that statement as they go through their own struggles, I’m standing in agreement with it. Those who embrace everything, regardless of what they’re going through, usually make it out on top and better than ever. So I guess that’s why ...

This could have been “The Kevin Knox Game” if it wasn’t maybe “The Frank Ntilikina Game.” The Knicks fell 119-107 to the first-place Charlotte Hornets. The margin of defeat is virtually the same as Allonzo Trier’s points per game. Trier strained his left hamstring during in warmups and didn’t play. Fallacious linear thinking (as opposed to fellatious linear thinking) might conclude all...

As good a loss as you’ll see. The Knicks technically lost Sunday night, I suppose. The Charlotte Hornets scored 119 points to the Knicks’ 107, which is the clinical definition of a loss. But this was more than just another night—this was French Heritage Night! And the Knicks’ resident Frenchman, Frank Ntilikina , rose from the ashes of his recent benching like a magnificent Gallic...

W-Knicks fall victim to a huge fourth quarter performance despite their sizable lead. When you lose the way, the Westchester Knicks (12-4) did on Saturday night, there’s only one thing that has to be said. These kinds of games will happen, whether you like it or not. Despite leading for the entire game and heading towards their eight consecutive victory, the W-Knicks suddenly collapsed in...

Right back at it. Where’s Frank, David? New York (8-19) barely has time to check the tape to see what happened last night. So there’s plenty of hand wringing to do over whether or not Frank Ntilikina impacts the game. Perhaps Allonzo Trier needs the ball even more (he needs it less). Maybe Mario Hezonja should run point, he’s more decisive than Trier, right? Aw who am I kidding? Let’s...

This was a game only a mother could love before mercifully aborting. The Knicks lost another fake comeback — or, depending on your worldview, earned more ping pong balls — trailing by double-digits most of the way en route to a 112-104 loss to the Brooklyn Nets. It cannot be overstated how ugly this one was to watch. Not only because the Knicks lost to Team Straight Edge. Nets with the...

It wasn’t quite 40 years in the desert, but Frank finally got back onto the court, where he belongs. The Nets beat the Knicks on Saturday night, 112-104...but who cares? The big news is that Frank Ntilikina is back! The 20-year-old guard was finally released from his bench exile late in the third quarter with the Knicks trailing by 15. It had been more than 176 minutes since the young...

Why all signs point to the Frenchman finally seeing the floor this weekend. The sudden and mostly unexplained disappearance of Frank Ntilikina from recent NBA basketball games has caused chaos in New York, with fans and media speculating that the 20-year-old sophomore point guard is about to be traded while arguing whether he is even any good, but based on the evidence we have at our...

Never taking shorts because Brooklyn is the playoff bound borough. The Brooklyn Nets (9-18) will ride their fixies over to Madison Square Garden tonight. At this point it’s still unclear if they’ll remove their septum rings before the game or before the ride. The Nets broke their eight-game losing streak with an overtime win over the fanged and clawed Raptors . New York (8-18) had their...

Tis the season to ask whatevs I hate Christmas puns. Just because it’s December doesn’t make lines like “O Christmas Trier” or “Jolly Ol’ Saint Ntilikina” or “The Twelve Days of Kristaps” any less dumb than they sound in June. These P&T mailbags are Stalinist five-year plans: relentless, unforgiving, essentially war crimes committed in a time of peace. The Ntilikina trade debate continues...

It was the best stretch of Curry’s Knicks career With the benefit of hindsight, the 2005 trade that sent Chicago Bulls center Eddy Curry to the New York Knicks is rightfully considered a big-time botch job, but 12 years this ago week the big man was in the midst of the most magical run he would have as a Knickerbocker, scoring at least 20 points in 11 straight games. It was, perhaps,...

Duke hosts Yale Saturday. You know who led the Knicks in plus/minus tonight? Frank Ntilikina, who didn’t play. That’s right: every Knick to appear during Boston’s 128-100 slow burn blowout finished with a minus. The only Celtic with a minus rating was Aron Baynes, who had to exit after two minutes with a left ankle sprain and didn’t return. Many NBA games are like symphonies or games of...

You just knew it would go this way. This game was only ever going to go one way. The Celtics were riding a three-game win streak and talking about the Knicks as if they were a real team that’s worth worrying about. Revenge was on their mind, and revenge they got. The Knicks hung around for parts of three quarters, but eventually Boston turned on the jets with a 29-16 fourth quarter and...

You again? Hi. Ya burnt. The Celtics (13-10) get to sit on their hairy keisters as Knicks (8-17) come over to play at their house again. Don’t worry your though, Trey Burke is out with an MCL sprain. So the theatrics will have to come from somewhere else. Wild guess: won’t be Enes Kanter . I know Al Horford is still trying to stop his momentum from those Burke step back...

A look at David Fizdale's offense through the quarter-season mark As the NBA regular season marathon reaches the quarter-way mark, we’ve seen enough to start to draw certain conclusions. Statistics begin to normalize as sample sizes grow and hot streaks fade into the background. We can now discuss year-long trends without having to put large caveats. And for the film nerds, we finally have...
