New York Knicks: NY Post News Articles
NY Post (Mike Vaccaro) —
All you had to do was look around Madison Square Garden and it was obvious your ears were lying to you, had to be. On a good night, in normal times, they can squeeze 19,812 inside here, and when you give them a good reason, they can turn your eardrums to dust. Around 17,812 of...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
Seven more assists for Julius Randle. Eleven more 3-pointers combined from backcourt men RJ Barrett and Reggie Bullock. Countless more hustle pays by the nasty center tandem of Nerlens Noel and Taj Gibson. And another second-half defensive gem by the Knicks, holding the Hornets to 31 points. It all rolled out to a Lucky 7...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
The Eastern Conference Player of the Week Award came to Julius Randle on Monday. That followed his first All-Star berth in March. And more honors are pouring his way. The Knicks southpaw power-forward freight train has turned the NBA on its ear in his seventh season. Randle is all but assured of being named among...
NY Post (Jake Brown) —
How fun are these Knicks? It’s must-watch basketball every night. They have won six straight games and have four home games coming up. They are now 31-27 and are tied for the No. 5 seed in the East, just a half game behind the Hawks for the No. 4 seed. This has been a truly...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
Knicks center Nerlens Noel doesn’t even want to know the format of the NBA’s experimental play-in tournament that puts the Nos. 7 through 10 seeds in a multi-game setup to qualify for the actual playoffs. Not when the Knicks are on a six-game winning streak, playing their best basketball since the late 2013-14 playoff run...
NY Post (Peter Botte) —
Derrick Rose rightly garnered much of the credit for his drive and kick-out pass that led to the Knicks tying Sunday’s eventual win over New Orleans at the end of regulation. Reggie Bullock deserves props, too, for being in the right spot in the left corner and for his catch-and-shoot 3-pointer with 2.3 seconds remaining...
NY Post (Brian Lewis) —
The sudden retirement of LaMarcus Aldridge has created an opening, with the Nets looking at a couple options. And one that appears to be rapidly gaining steam is guard Mike James. James is in New York and is on the radar of both the Nets and Knicks. And while sources have confirmed that Brooklyn is...
NY Post (Peter Botte) —
The Knicks are riding their first six-game winning streak since an eight-game run in 2014, suddenly putting them in a better position to potentially avoid the play-in scenarios for the NBA playoffs. The surge, which the Knicks will look to extend with another home game Tuesday night against the Hornets at the Garden, has vaulted...
NY Post (Mike Vaccaro) —
Listen in. Listen close. Do you hear it? Can you hear them? Listen closer. There they are. Knicks fans. For weeks, for months, they have been reluctant to say anything out loud — or too loud, anyway — because they know the secular sporting gods that adjudicate such matters have sensitive antennae. They deplore hubris....
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
Noel Gibson. Taj Nerlens. However you want to combine them, this Knicks defensive center tandem is rolling along gloriously with Mitchell Robinson expected out for the season after breaking his foot last month. The combined numbers of Nerlens Noel and his backup Taj Gibson were outstanding — 18 points, 22 rebounds and four blocks in...
NY Post (Mike Vaccaro) —
Derrick Rose is supposed to be too old for this. There’s supposed to be too much wear and tear on the tires. The engine isn’t supposed to hop and hum quite the same as it used to. And he certainly isn’t supposed to be the most important player on the basketball floor, in the most...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
Pelicans superstar Zion Williamson had just suffered a tough overtime loss to the Knicks — the Pelicans’ third straight. And the players were just chewed out by their head coach Stan Van Gundy for botching the final play of regulation while on defense. But Williamson couldn’t help but crack a broad smile that could light...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
It was a great battle of power-forward stud southpaws as Zion Williamson went toe to toe with Julius Randle. But the game was decided by the Knicks’ backcourt of Derrick Rose and Reggie Bullock, propelling the Knicks to their sixth straight victory, 122-112 in overtime, over the Pelicans to move their record to a season-best...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
Former Nets forward Richard Jefferson has trolled the Knicks plenty in the past. But appearing on ESPN’s Knicks-Mavericks telecast Friday, Jefferson said Julius Randle has emerged as an All-NBA player, even if as a third-team guy. Jefferson is a little late to the party as he pontificated while Randle rang up 44 points in Big...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
Zion Williamson’s first game at the Garden in a Sunday matinee figured to be the headliner on the marquee — with point guard Lonzo Ball’s audition for the Knicks a close second. Instead, Tom Thibodeau’s Knicks, hottest team in the NBA and winners of five straight, conquerors of Williamson and Luka Doncic in this week’s...
