No Tatum, no problem. The Knicks get whalloped in the second half of a close out game . . . that picture says it all. Knicks fans brought the noise at TD Garden tonight, and the team gave them plenty to cheer in the first quarter. New York overcame an early deficit with hustle plays, three-pointers, and clutch free throws—especially from Mitchell Robinson and a battered Josh Hart. Despite...

The Knicks look to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since 2000. Today, for just the third time in a quarter-century, the Knicks will have the opportunity to punch their ticket to the Eastern Conference Finals. After losing both opportunities last year against the Indiana Pacers (who would be the Knicks’ opponents should they win), the Knicks will have three...

New York faces a historic chance of reaching the Eastern Conference Finals in Boston. The day has arrived, and the Knicks can make franchise history by making the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time in 25 years. If New York wants to host that ECF Game 1, however, they need to first beat Boston on the road in Game 5 of the second-round series against the Celtics, as the Indiana...

An image within an image First and foremost prayers go out to Jayson Tatum. As much as I want the Knicks to win this series, and they most likely will, it’s a little bittersweet that it won’t happen by beating the best at their best through the entire series. It hasn’t been announced as of this post, but I actually have a feeling that the NBA lost one of its top players through next season...

One more dub, and it’s on, baby. The Knicks did it. The Knicks defeated the reigning champs, inside Madison Square Garden, in a second-round series in which they were the clear-cut underdogs. New York leads 3-1 entering Game 5 at TD Garden in Boston following Monday’s 121-113 victory , and they will face a hurt Celtics team going forward after Jayson Tatum (prayers up!) suffered a...

No matter the deficit, no matter the noise: The Knicks haven’t backed down at all. It wasn’t too long ago that people genuinely didn’t like this Knicks team. 0-10 vs the top-3 teams in the NBA. No signature win. Defensive lapses. No bench. No toughness. No fire. No resilience. Soft. Soft was the main word. Any adversity, and they crumble. Trae Young rolled dice on the Knicks logo in...

Brunson and Bridges become the Batman and Robin of Clutchness in the fourth game of the semis. Through the first half of tonight’s Game Four, spicy shooting (12-of-24 from deep), a lopsided whistle, and a defensive answer to every push by the New York Knicks (3-1) gave the Boston Celtics (1-3) a 62-51 halftime advantage. Boston’s 14-point third-quarter lead was wiped out by Jalen...

Can the Knicks get back on track? After back-to-back miracle comebacks for the New York Knicks against the Celtics , defending champions and current title favorites, reality came crashing down in Madison Square Garden on Saturday afternoon.

The Knicks have a historic chance on Monday to move up to a 3-1 series lead and make it a heellaciously tough task for the Celtics to beat them on their way to the Eastern Conference Finals.

Towns will suit up for Game 4, but the Knicks’ lineup issues haven’t gone away. The New York Knicks expect Karl-Anthony Towns to be available for Monday’s crucial Game 4 against the Boston Celtics , despite the left-finger injury he sustained in Saturday’s loss at Madison Square Garden. According to Kristian Winfield , Towns was a full participant in Sunday’s practice and is set to...

The Knicks can’t rely on their opponent’s cold shooting to win this series. How can they put more points on the board? Eventually, the Celtics were going to make shots. What happened in Game 3 wasn’t surprising. The Knicks had a poor defensive game plan in the first half, and the Celtics finally made their shots. In the end, it really didn’t matter what the Knicks did on offense, with...

Including quotes from ‘That Guy’ and the best rim-runner and finisher in the NBA! In a must-win game for the Knicks, they said, the Celtics won. In a series-swinging game, as they said and even in defeat, the Knicks still lead the series 2-1 entering Game 4 and cannot be down before Game 5. Here’s what Coach Thibs, some Knicks, and a few bragging C’s said after Saturday’s game. ...

Boston wins Game Three wire-to-wire and narrow the Knicks series lead. In Game Three of the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Boston Celtics (1-2) came out determined to prove their might. They drilled everything to bury the New York Knicks (2-1) under a 25-point halftime deficit—an all-time franchise playoff low. The ‘Bockers struggled to find a rhythm all game long, missed shots and...

David Butler II-Imagn Images Haters gonna hate. Let’s get this out of the way because it’s very clear. Neither, and I repeat, NEITHER team has played even close to their best basketball this series. The Celtics look nothing like the team that finished the season as one of the two or three hottest teams in the league and look even less like the team that took home the Larry O’Brien...
