Pool Photo-USA TODAY Sports His scoring numbers are noticeably down. But he can still thrive with a few simple changes. I don’t mean to be selfish. The Knicks have the fifth-best defensive rating in the NBA. That doesn’t happen without Mitchell Robinson who is holding players to 7.4% worse than their average at the rim, and has had numerous game-clinching defensive stops. Robinson...

This season has featured 100% more smiles from Kevin Knox. Take that for data. | Photo by Nathaniel S. Butler/NBAE via Getty Images The former 9th overall pick looks better than last year. It’s a start. Last year’s sophomore slump was so significant that many lost faith in Kevin Knox, but he’s carved out a role this season thanks to some three-point sharpshooting, which, combined...

Neither team could get a call today and it led to frustration. The frustrations must have muddied the decision making for coach Thibodeau, who forgot that his best option at point guard was playing a fantastic game. So when...

Pool Photo-USA TODAY Sports They can’t all be nice and clean. One day after a gorgeous 30-point win in Boston, the New York Knicks found themselves locked in a butt-ugly slugfest against the Orlando Magic . The Knicks had a decent 12-point lead headed into the fourth quarter, but Terrence Ross started to wake up, and the Knicks couldn’t hit a shot to save their lives. The Magic...

Photo by REPORTERS ASSOCIES/Gamma-Rapho via Getty Images Happy Marting Luther King Day! Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Hopefully the Knicks don’t have a romp-hangover. After brutalizing the Celtics to get off the schneid, they’re right back at it 23 hours later against the Magic. Orlando lost their young point guard, Markelle Fultz, for the season and have suffered a series of...

David Butler II-USA TODAY Sports A warm bath, a cold beer and a fat spliff all rolled into one. Mitchell Robinson and Kevin Knox are the only active Knicks to have participated in a win over the Boston Celtics. The last time New York bested their archrival was November 21, 2018, a.k.a. The Trey Burke Game. Today was the teams’ first meeting in over a year. The way this one went, the...

David Butler II-USA TODAY Sports IQ and Obi showed out. The New York Knicks barely looked like a NBA team in recent games and they rode into Boston on the heels of a five-game losing streak. Well, they sure as hell looked like one Sunday afternoon, as the pounded the hated Celtics by the score of 105-75. The Knicks started off with a different kind of defensive intensity on head...

Set Number: X3429 C’s doling out L’s? We all got our jollies with the Knicks winning the lottery on Tankathon using the Dallas pick. Now reality is starting to set in. New York has lost five in a row and the questions are aimed at the point guard slot. Rookie Immanuel Quickley matches the urgency that Julius Randle plays with, but the rook’s highs and lows haven’t quite evened into...

Future starting point guard? | Photo by David Liam Kyle/NBAE via Getty Images Tough loss, but gosh darn does Quickley look good. Frederick Douglass famously said, “If there is no struggle, there is no progress.” The New York Knicks are currently struggling big time. Friday night’s loss in Cleveland, the fifth straight for New York, drops the Knicks to 5-8 on the season. They would...

Ken Blaze-USA TODAY Sports Nobody ever sees it coming. True Knicks fans know there’s no such thing as rock bottom with this franchise — things can always get worse. Still, it’s pretty bad right now for the orange and blue. The Knicks executed like clowns down the stretch and fell victim to 7 clutch points from ex-Knick Damyean Dotson as the woefully undermanned Cleveland Cavaliers...

Enough already! With the freaking Cavs, my goodness. I think this is the ninth time these teams have played inside the space of a month. I’ll be honest, I think it stinks. What I won’t complain about is that the Knicks haven’t played the Wizards yet. They haven’t been able to steer completely clear but not having them come through has paid dividends. Unfortunately their health concerns are...

Photo by Nathaniel S. Butler/NBAE via Getty Images A good game from the youngsters, even in a loss Yesterday’s game felt a little... overshadowed, for some reason. Like something way bigger than the game at hand had happened for one of the two teams. I can’t quite put my finger on what that was. At any rate, the Nets were short a few guys and came into MSG with a motivated Kevin...

Brad Penner-USA TODAY Sports At least some of the kids played well. The New York Knicks continue to circle the toilet bowl, this time losing to a severely shorthanded Brooklyn Nets squad on national TV. The game wasn’t as close as the final score would indicate, thanks to a good old fashioned fake Knicks comeback, but the second half was pretty fun regardless. Cheers to Julius...

Photo by Focus on Sport/Getty Images Crosstown beef Here we are, friends. Proudly above the fray, the overachieving Knickerbockers (5-6) finally square off against the mutton chopped hipster parade from across the Hudson, Brooklyn’s own, the Nets (6-6). It took nearly two years to get a look at it, but they can finally face Kevin Durant and Kyr… well... DeAndre Jordan might be there....
