POOL PHOTOS-USA TODAY Sports So young, so good. The New York Knicks turned up the defensive intensity in the second half, and RJ Barrett went God mode in the third quarter, as the boys in orange and blue stretched their winning streak to seven games. They are now five games over .500. THE KNICKS! New York played one of their worst defensive halves of the season in the first,...

The Knicks are puffing a whole lot of steam behind Player of the Week , Julius Randle. Keeping the coals ruby hot builds pressure as the wins pile up. Higher degrees of difficulty manifest each game and the increasing indignation of the...

Photo by Nathaniel S. Butler/NBAE via Getty Images How about a nice pick-and-roll now and again? Usually by this point in the season, fans and teams have seen enough tape to know what to expect from their lottery pick. They may not show it on a day-to-day basis, but most of the players taken in the first 14 picks have put on some display of their talents and skills. For Obi Toppin,...

Photo by Jesse D. Garrabrant/NBAE via Getty Images wwwwww.can’t stop.won’t stop.com I hated having my picture taken growing up. I mostly avoided it, and when I couldn’t escape I refused to smile — “I’m not a performing monkey,” I’d tell my father. I skipped having my senior picture taken, blowing off my mother’s requests with “You see me every day, Ma. You know what I look like.” A...

POOL PHOTOS-USA TODAY Sports Maybe start him? The New York Knicks played like butt in the second half against the New Orleans Pelicans , which could have cost them a chance to win their sixth consecutive game. But these aren’t the same ole Knicks — a statement I keep typing lately — and the Pelicans left the door open just enough for some late-game heroics. Cue the veteran duo of...

Photo by Jesse D. Garrabrant/NBAE via Getty Images Run it back I love these Knicks , always caring and brave. I love the room they still have to grow, their amazing courage against brutes. They’ll get better and eventually stretch their legs all the way out. Accommodatingly crucifying acrimonious buzzkills. I do mean all, the way out, bending a trip in this acrid callous...

Kevin Jairaj-USA TODAY Sports Julius dropped historic numbers in his hometown. If you told Knicks fans before the season that Tom Thibodeau would be playing Julius Randle, Reggie Bullock, and RJ Barrett over 40 minutes in a random regular season game as their non-RJ first-round picks since 2018 combined for 19 total minutes, they would probably assume the worst. Instead, it was a...

Kevin Jairaj-USA TODAY Sports Julius dominated. A season ago, the Knicks were the laughingstock of the basketball world after they handed Kristaps Porzingis to the Dallas Mavericks on a silver platter and hitched their wagon to Julius Randle (stat-padding loser) and RJ Barrett (not even on the All-Rookie teams). What a difference a year makes! Randle put to bed any lingering doubts...

A homecoming for the Crown Jules. After a quality win in Elfrid Payton’s hometown of New Orleans, the lights get a little brighter as we head to Julius Randle’s stomping grounds in Dallas. Tonight’s matchup will be televised on big, bad ESPN. Normally I’m setting up for a Friday night schedule loss. There’s just something a little different about this team right now. On a four-game win...

Photo by Sean Gardner/Getty Images Wins are nice. The last time the Knicks won four in a row, many of us had never heard of Covid 1-18, much less 19. In some ways that time is ancient history, but it’s important to remember it isn’t, lest we lose ourselves to our own revision. Often what hasn’t changed is the canvas through which we can see how much has. Before last night’s 116-106...

Stephen Lew-USA TODAY Sports The closer! Wednesday night’s contest in the Big Easy figured to be a clash of styles: The New Orleans Pelicans can score with the best of them, while the New York Knicks like to earn their pay on the defensive end. For three quarters, this was a Pelicans kind of game...but the Knicks held a four-point lead thanks to some scoring majesty of their own....

Photo by Rich Pilling/NBAE via Getty Images Another former Randle team. After one of his best games of the season, Elfrid Payton should be riding high on a homecoming in New Orelans today. Maybe their win over the Lakers was some kind of freaky Friday situation because RJ Barrett had one of his rougher outings in what has been an excellent stretch. RJ will probably be having a Duke...

Randle will back Schroder down all night, but he’ll never back down from a challenge. Certainly not when he’s got braids. | Photo by Nathaniel S. Butler/NBAE via Getty Images Three straight wins. It’s true what they say. “Hell hath no fury like a Julius Randle scorned.” The All-Star carried his current squad past his former team at Madison Square Garden Monday night, taking control...

Wendell Cruz-USA TODAY Sports Elf and Jules (not to mention the Knicks bigs) dominated the Lakers. People think I hate Elfrid Payton just because I constantly talk shit about him. I mean, he’s still a Knick, so I hope he plays well. When he shoots, I hope the ball goes into the basket. But he’s been horrible this season, and the Knicks have better options. Not on Monday night,...
