One more west coast contest, a tilt in Brooklyn, and then a homecoming affair on Saturday against Milwaukee. The road trip ends this week, but not before two more contests on enemy terrain. Let’s get to it, I have presents to wrap. Knicks at Lakers, Monday, Dec. 18, 10:30 pm This season, the Los Angeles Lakers (15-11) faced early defensive challenges. They ranked 19th in the league...

Defense? What defense? There have been a lot of feelings shared by the Knicks (14-11) fanbase following the trouncing of New York at the hands of the Los Angeles Clippers (15-10) on Saturday, a game ending in a depressing 144-122 final score. Most of those thoughts, however, have to do with only a few particular topics and developments we got to watch (or not because it was a freaking...

Despite 87 points from their starters, and five players in double-digits, New York loses each quarter in a 144-122 defeat by the Clippers. On Friday night, the New York Knicks (14-11) stole a surprising win in Phoenix, led by a career night from Jalen Brunson. A short plane ride later and they were in Los Angeles tonight to face the Clippers (15-10). That’s a tough double-whammy. The...

Brunson led the way, but the game was a team victory. Jalen Brunson gave a historic performance in the Knicks ’ 139-122 victory against the Phoenix Suns last night, but even still, the victory was a team effort. For your consideration, here are the player grades for the game: Jalen Brunson (A+): Brunson deserves all the stars. Not only did he record a career-high 50 points–including...

In the second game of a back-to-back, New York takes on Los Angeles’ second-most popular NBA franchise. On Saturday night, the New York Knicks (14-10) will play the third of a five-game road trip, this time against the sizzling Los Angeles Clippers (14-10). When they last faced off, the Knickerbockers clipped L.A., 111 to 97, spoiling James Harden’s debut with his latest club. Los...

First career 50-burger for JB. 14 seconds. That’s the time it takes Jalen Brunson’s burner to heat up. With the clock reading 11:46 on the broadcast, Brunson scored his first bucket of Friday’s matchup at Footprint Center in Phoenix, AZ. All JB would do after that is scoring 48 more points without barely missing any of the shots he hoisted. The result? Knicks 139, Suns 122. The stat...

50 burger. Hold the fries. Once or twice every season, every Eastern Conference team hops in the saddle and journeys from sea to shining sea to the West Coast for a couple games on the road. While the trip may only last four or five games, the impact of the games is usually felt far deeper into the season—each team knows the importance of the time away from their home arenas. When things...

New York’s MVP paints a masterpiece, making a career-high of nine three-pointers in a 139-122 win over Phoenix. Despite winning only two of their six games this month, the Phoenix Suns (13-11) have been playing better defense statistically. They jumped from a bottom-third defensive rating in November to a 13th-best in December. And with their big three (Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and...

Another tough task amidst a tough stretch. The Knicks and Suns have a very similar record on the season. New York comes into tonight’s contest at 13-10, and Phoenix enters the game with a 13-11 record, and both of these teams are just 5-5 in their last 10 games. That being said, the vibes and outlook of the two teams and fanbases feels very different. The Suns and their fans are...

The Knicks rank 29th in defensive rating in December. In the last article I wrote earlier this week, I marveled over the Knick’s shooting and scoring to start the month of December. The next game after that was an ugly 117-113 loss to the Utah Jazz in Utah on Wednesday night. New York reverted to their old selves. They only hit 44 percent of their field goals and shot an awful...

Joe Ingles? Khris Middleton? Draymond Green!? Welcome to the unofficially official start of the NBA trade season, folks! As we hit Dec. 15, as many as 81 free agents who signed a deal last offseason just became eligible to be traded.

No, but we may not be too far off It’s crazy to think that not too long ago, we were all talking about how RJ Barrett was arguably the best Knicks player through the first couple weeks of the season. Julius Randle was going through an abysmal shooting slump that saw him become one of the least efficient volume shooters ever to start a season. Jalen Brunson was playing well, but not as well...

Rhymes with Gronaflan Boominga. This season, some of the New York Knicks ’ defensive issues stem from being too small. This diminutive problem results in ineffective closeouts on the perimeter and insufficient protection at the rim when their center is drawn away by stretch bigs. The frontcourt gets even smaller when six-foot-eight Julius Randle subs out and six-foot-four Josh Hart...

Today, I’m stealing Monica McNutt’s extraordinary recap of the 13-10 New York Knicks ’ loss at the Utah Jazz (8-16) in Salt Lake City, 117-113. https://t.co/0hBjlFBG9j pic.twitter.com/A4E1zQIVCt — New York Basketball (@NBA_NewYork) December 14, 2023 “Rhythmless performance across the board,” McNutt said. “I just wanna pack it up, throw it away, and move on.” Mic drop, Monica. ...
