NY Post (Steve Serby) —
Everyone who lives and dies with the Knicks can recall Amar’e Stoudemire smiling his new $100 million smile and proclaiming: “The Knicks are back.” The Knicks were not back then, and 11 years later, they’re not back now. But after so many fast breaks to heartbreak across the years, after Derek Fisher and Phil Jackson...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
The Knicks whipped the Pistons, 114-104, on Thursday night to enter the All-Star break on an 8-3 spree and with a winning record at 19-18. With chants of “Let’s Go Knicks’’ from the 2,000 strong on hand at the Garden, they clobbered the Eastern Conference-worst Pistons for the second time in four days, making sure...

Knicks point guard Derrick Rose will miss his second straight game Thursday because of COVID-19 issues despite being with his teammates on their four-hour flight home from San Antonio. The Knicks announced Rose is still in COVID-19 protocol but would not clarify why. Rose’s test before the Spurs game reportedly was deemed inconclusive. But with...
NY Post (Steve Serby) —
Once Pat Riley took his talents to South Beach and Jeff Van Gundy took his talents out of the Garden, it was as if The World’s Most Famous Arena had become a basketball Bermuda Triangle, a procession of misery, a fastbreak to heartbreak, home office to the triangle offense, for crying out loud. Which most Knicks fans...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
Julius Randle cracked a smile when asked about his long-term future with the franchise. Does he want to be a Knick for life? “It’s always a thought,” the 26-year-old Randle said. “When I came here almost two years ago, that was the plan. I wanted to be here long term. I want to be a Knick. So...
NY Post (Peter Botte) —
Immanuel Quickley’s breakout rookie season with the Knicks wasn’t enough to land him on the roster for the NBA’s Rising Stars Challenge. The league has eliminated the annual game on All-Star weekend this year involving the top rookies and sophomores in the game due to COVID-19 restrictions. The United States and World rosters still were...
NY Post (Peter Botte) —
From getting buried at the end of the bench to suddenly moving into the starting lineup, Frank Ntilikina’s rollercoaster season with the Knicks is back on the upswing. The Knicks produced a rare clunker Tuesday night in San Antonio, but Ntilikina played effectively in his first start of the season at point guard in place...
NY Post (Peter Botte) —
Derrick Rose could be back in the Knicks’ lineup Thursday night after missing Tuesday’s loss in San Antonio due to the NBA’s health and safety protocols. Rose was forced to sit out Tuesday’s game because his pregame COVID-19 test came back inconclusive, but the veteran guard was cleared to fly back to New York with...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
Combo guard Austin Rivers has crept even deeper into Tom Thibodeau’s doghouse. Even with their top two point guards, Derrick Rose (COVID-19 protocols) and Elfrid Payton (hamstring), missing Tuesday’s blowout 119-93 loss to the Spurs, Rivers was not placed back into the rotation and did not play. The Post reported Rivers was not on the...
NY Post (Mike Vaccaro) —
Marv Albert had the perfect word for this. He would call it “gar-BAHGE.” Usually, that was simply a reference to the final portion of a blowout, when the professional equivalents of walk-ons were summoned to the scorer’s table, when they’d spend their rare and valuable minutes trying to chuck up as many shots as they...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
The Knicks were without Derrick Rose — and a pulse. Ths pandemic season finally crushed the Knicks on Tuesday and demonstrated how a player can go from invisible to prominent in an eye-blink. Just a week ago, Frank Ntilikina hadn’t played since late December — felled by a knee sprain, COVID-19 protocols and being yanked...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
Tom Thibodeau was asked who he would start when point guard Elfrid Payton (hamstring) returns from his hamstring injury. That’s now the least of his problems. After his media availability before Tuesday’s game in San Antonio, the Knicks announced recent starter Derrick Rose is out for health and safety COVID-19 protocols. It was not immediately...
NY Post (Jake Brown) —
After the Knicks play the Spurs on Tuesday, they will be exactly halfway through the shortened 72-game season. If anyone told you that this team would be hovering around.500 at this point at the start of the season, you would have called them crazy. Tom Thibodeau’s team is playing hard, playing together and stifling teams...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
On Saturday at the Garden, RJ Barrett was on the free-throw line with 14.9 seconds left and the Knicks leading the Pacers by two points. He missed both attempts, but the Knicks still hung on to pull out the win. Barrett’s misses were an anomaly as he closed out a fine February when his game...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
Tom Thibodeau has never been married — except to his team. Thibodeau prefers poring over game film than lying on a beach in Turks and Caicos. He got too much beach time during a 1 ½-year hiatus after his firing in Minnesota in January 2019. And he didn’t like it. The 63-year-old treats every game...
