New York Knicks: Knicker Blogger Blog Articles

The Knicks suffered yet another major injury as Mitchell Robinson, who had been playing visibly hurt since his “encounter” with Joel Embiid in Game 3 of the first round, has been ruled out for the rest of the playoffs. Honestly, though, losing a clearly injured Mitch, while certainly a blow, is really not that much […]

The Knicks host the Indiana Pacers in Game 1 of the second round, the first time since the 2013 Playoffs that the Knicks are no doubt about it favorites in a round. And you know what? It feels pretty fucking sweet. I was bullish on the Knicks in all of their playoff series in the […]

As I noted earlier today, this Pacers series really feels like the Hawks second round series in the 1999 playoffs. The first round against the Heat, that was the grind. That was the series the Knicks had to fight and scratch at to win. The Hawks series was then like a breath of fresh air, […]

In all seriousness, the Knicks are obviously in the much better situation than the Sixers. The Knicks just need to split these two games, while the Sixers need to win both games (which will also mean beating the Knicks three games in a row). So just relax. The Knicks will probably close the Sixers out […]

The whole world now knows that Joel Embiid is a whiny jerk, and this game is the “opener” to the world of that fact, so let’s hope that he has a terrible game, and the Knicks destroy the Sixers. Sadly, Mitchell Robinson will miss the game, but hopefully Sims has some…ahem…hard fouls this afternoon. Six […]

I mean, this is the rub, right? If the Knicks win tonight, the series isn’t officially over, but, well, come on, the series is effectively over. No NBA team has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit in a best of seven series (I don’t think anyone’s come back from a 3-0 deficit in a […]

The Knicks host the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 2 of their first round playoff matchup. Well, Game 1 sure was fascinating, huh? We all thought that Embiid was not really in game shape for the playoffs, and he wasn’t, and yet Nick Nurse still came up with a heck of a gameplan to take on […]

Here we go, the most important game of the Knicks’ season (until the next one). This game is particularly huge because it is sort of the proof of concept game. We know the Knicks can kick the Sixers’ ass, but will they? We shall see today if they can make Embiid run so much he […]

Man, I was a lot more worried about the Sixers before they looked like garbage against the Heat in the Play-In Game. Had Jimmy Butler not gotten hurt, the Knicks would totally be playing the Heat in this series. So I guess I have go with a gentlemen’s sweep (which I am defining as the […]

This will get buried by the Daily News Thread, but I thought that it was too important to not give it a spotlight. Huge congrats to Thibs and the boys for a very cool accomplishment of clinching the playoff spot. It’s a tough Eastern Conference (a tougher Western Conference, but still), and it is a […]

From Woj: After two months of rehabilitation to attempt a return to the New York Knicks, All-NBA forward Julius Randle will undergo season-ending right shoulder surgery, the team announced Thursday. Randle, who has been out since dislocating his shoulder on Jan. 27, had been relentlessly rehabilitating to resume playing prior to the Eastern Conference playoffs. […]

The Knicks head to Sacramento to take on a pretty good Sacramento Kings team, but luckily for the Knicks, OG Anunoby will play tonight despite being questionable due to his elbow possibly falling off at some point last night. It’s going to be fun to watch the Brunson/OG force take on a good team. This […]

There are so many different possibilities for the Knicks today that I would not be surprised by a big move, a little move, or even no move at all (okay, I’d be a bit surprised by no move at all). I think that it is clear that Rose wants to keep as much of his […]

After another dominating win (kicking the asses of the two NBA Finalists from last year in back-to-back games), the Knicks had a bit of a roadblock with Julius Randle suffering a late game shoulder injury. It looked like a shoulder dislocation at the time, and Woj now confirms it: New York Knicks F Julius Randle […]

From Woj: The Toronto Raptors are finalizing a trade to send OG Anunoby to the New York Knicks for a package including RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley and draft considerations, sources tell ESPN. I was literally just writing a comment about Leon Rose needing to be bold, clicked “post,” and then I saw this, and fuck, […]
