New York Knicks: Knicker Blogger Blog Articles

As I write these words, the Spurs lead the Knicks 59-38, about halfway (!!!) thorugh the second quarter. It was worse a minute ago but we just got a couple of transition layups by Brunson. Spurs called a timeout, I’m watching a Popeye’s commercial. I have two little kids who need to get out of […]

The San Antonio Spurs screwed up the Knicks’ 13-game-winning streak, but that won’t really matter so long as the Knicks pull this one off tonight. A 3-1 lead, with Game 6 back in the Garden as a backup? That would be such a back-breaker that I would truly expect for the Knicks to just take […]

New York Knicks owner James Dolan made a rare appearance on WFAN this afternoon, hours before the crucial Game Four tipoff. As is his wont, he proceeded to open his mouth and cram his Florsheims deep down his throat. Via reporter Kris Pursiainen, who apparently has the kind of steel-reinforced stomach capable of transcribing radio […]

I’m with Mike Brown — The Knicks lost Game 3 based on their own play, no doubt. There were at least 4-6 Knicks’ passes that were to thin air; the offense was in disarray; they shot poorly especially Bridges and Shamet; and KAT was a non-factor. By every observable method the Spurs were the better […]

At least we know who to blame. Dude was booed ruthlessly during the national anthem. THAT will be remembered forever. The other Who: The Refs. It’s a clown show right now. That the whistle wasn’t as egregious as Game 2’s doesn’t mean it wasn’t a joke. It was very much a joke! We all see […]

Tough loss. Mitch Johnson seems to have done a much better job making his moronic team go to the basket more often, and it worked out beautifully for them. And yet the Knicks never quit, and still had a chance in the end. Good for them!

The Knicks return home with a commanding 2-0 lead in the NBA Finals. There is a lot being said about the fact that no team has ever won the first two games on the road and lost the series. That’s true, but at the same time, it’s only happened TWICE before this season, as most […]

(Editor’s note: Ex-Knickerblogger and kickass journalist Sydney Bauer has blessed us with another guest post. Take it away, Sydney.) In early 2020 I was working as a communications specialist at a firm in Atlanta, when COVID hit. My client was a giant telecom company and unlike other clients whose work ground to a halt […]

Better late than never, Jim Kevin, and I have a few thoughts in advance of Game 3. Take it away, gents! So uh how’re we feeling heading into Game Three with uh [checks notes] the New York Knicks up 2-0 in the freaking NBA Finals and heading back to MSG? BOBBY It’s a totally foreign […]

To borrow a wise man’s word: Breathe. Breathe again. If you have a blood pressure monitor handy, just take a second and see what’s up. For your peace of mind and mine. Good. Now breathe again. And again. That’s just a little blood! Don’t worry. It’s fine. A little blood on the breath never hurt […]

It’s really kind of crazy just how much these series have been similar to each other. This one really reminds you of how the Knicks had a hard-fought win against the Cavaliers in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, and then just leaned on them in Game 2 until the Cavs collapsed, and the […]

I was 17 when the Knicks marched hobbled and heroic into the ’99 Finals, following a bone-smashing triumph over the Corn Field Fuckfaces, our brave Achilles felled but spirits strangely high off the fumes of a four-point mega-miracle that frankly feels in hindsight like the single-most passive-aggressive gift god ever bestowed upon a team and […]

Hey all! It’s been brought to my attention that user registration/verification isn’t working. Well it wasn’t working as of a few minutes ago, and should be functional now (I created a new account to test). So if you did want to create an account, it’s working. Registering helps even if you’re a lurker, because it […]

In case you were wondering how long it would take before the far-right media turned the NBA Finals into a culture war chew toy, the answer is: one game. One game in which the Knicks won, that is. Noted Basketball Knower Ben Shapiro—whose fracking-funded content empire is looking a little wobbly these days and has […]

Breathe. At 9:07 PM Eastern time this evening, late in the first quarter of Game 1 of the NBA Finals, the Spurs’ Harrison Barnes went flying into Jalen Brunson’s lower leg. The Knicks captain grimaced, and limped, and asked off. He doesn’t ask off. He went to the locker room in obvious pain. And, just […]
