Photo by Nathaniel S. Butler/NBAE via Getty Images Season opener! I can’t believe we’re here but look at us! Massive delays and cancellations as a result of a global pandemic that still grips society at large. It seems so unlikely that a contact sport with people traveling across the country, in and out hotels, airports, buses and wherever else has any shot at surviving. There has...

Forget Game 1...what is the Knicks ’ starting lineup for the final game of the season? Joe: Immanuel Quickley/Alec Burks/RJ Barrett/Obi...

Photo by Nathaniel S. Butler/NBAE via Getty Images Much of the season will depend on how they handle Randle. Sorry folks, but we need to talk some more about Julius Randle. Enjoy! Will Julius Randle spend most of the season in the Knicks ’ starting rotation? Joe: Yes . To me, this says nearly as much about Obi Toppin as it does about Randle. Toppin was presented to fans...

Photo by Nathaniel S. Butler/NBAE via Getty Images Pretty much a formality. The New York Knicks completed a bit of roster business Monday, picking up the options for second-year wing RJ Barrett and third-year forward Kevin Knox. Barring trades, both players will be on the Knicks roster for the 2021-22 season. Knicks announce they have exercised the third-year option on RJ...

The play. | Photo by Ron Antonelli/NY Daily News Archive via Getty Images Lovely lay-in from Lee with little time left. David Lee may have been unceremoniously pushed out the door when Amar’e Stoudemire came to town in 2010, but 14 years ago he etched his name into franchise lore with a game-winning tap in at the buzzer to beat the Charlotte Bobcats in double overtime. The miracle...

Let’s just dive in. 1) In what year will the Knicks have a winning record? — MeloIsoMyBalls In my 30 years following the Knicks day in, day out, only twice have they improved from a losing team one year to a winning team the...

Photo by Nathaniel S. Butler/NBAE via Getty Images Thibs clearly loves the kid. The Knicks practiced Sunday — though I’m not sure why they even need to practice, since they are clearly elite following their dominating 3-1 preseason. Make each other better. Every day. pic.twitter.com/d2kaY88HTF — NEW YORK KNICKS (@nyknicks) December 20, 2020 Ah, but lest you think Tom...

Photo by Jesse D. Garrabrant/NBAE via Getty Images Hardly knew ya; may in fact have not known ya. Your unfounded worry over whether Kevin Knox will be able to carve out a role is over. The Knicks waived the non-existential threat, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, and there was much hand wringing (there was not). Knox went nuclear, or at least hazardous waste-ular, once Immanuel Quickley was...

The future? | Photo by Nathaniel S. Butler/NBAE via Getty Images Look at Quickley. he’s the captain now. The Knicks pummeled the Cavaliers until there was no pulse and then burned the remains at a fan-less Madison Square Garden on Friday, clobbering Cleveland, 119-83, behind a strong overall defensive effort and beautiful offensive performances from the likes of Immanuel Quickley...

Photo by Nathaniel S. Butler/NBAE via Getty Images Everything went right. Could the Knicks’ young bucks build upon their fantastic fourth quarter comeback last time out as they faced the Cleveland Cavaliers once again Friday night? Uh, you could say that. New York stormed out of the gate with an offensive barrage led by starting point guard Immanuel Quickley (22 points, 5 assists, 5...

Photo by Focus on Sport via Getty Images Final dress rehearsal. After Wednesday’s win, the Knicks close out their preseason with one more game against Cleveland. The group that cut the deficit and closed the game out was all 22-years old or younger, spearheaded by the exuberant play of Immanuel Quickley. Seems promising even though it was against the Cavaliers’ C-squad. Julius...

Legends. Stylin’ and profilin’, plus jersey retirin’ Walt Clyde Frazier has been teaching vocabulary on television for three decades, but before becoming a broadcaster he played 10 spectacular seasons with the Knicks that included two titles, and 41 years ago this week his jersey was forever enshrined in the rafters of MSG. Frazier is easily among the top three players in...

Photo by Nathaniel S. Butler/NBAE via Getty Images The rarest of comebacks — the non-fake variety. A fun and furious fourth-quarter comeback gave the New York Knicks a 100-93 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers, their first home win since March 8th. Back then the catalysts included Julius Randle, Elfrid Payton and Wayne Ellington. This time the heroes were all 20-22 years old. The...

Photo by Nathaniel S. Butler/NBAE via Getty Images So much fun. Wow. Excuse me for getting emotional about a preseason game, but that was superb. The Knicks were getting blown out of the gym by the Cleveland Cavaliers after a pathetic third quarter. The deficit was nearly 20, and it appeared to be yet another desultory loss as head coach Tom Thibodeau brought in the kids. And...
