From Tim Bontemps (is Bontemps their new Woj? I don’t dislike Bontemps, I’m just curious): New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson will miss the beginning of the regular season after offseason ankle surgery, league sources confirmed to ESPN, leaving an already thin center spot even thinner. Robinson, who played 31 games last season and underwent […]

Another Woj bomb to love! In a largely unprecedented financial concession to give roster flexibility to a contender, New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson has agreed on a four-year, $156.5 million extension, his agent Sam Rose of CAA tells ESPN — $113M less guaranteed than he’s eligible to receive in one year. Hey, if you […]

I don’t like this Woj bomb: ESPN Sources: Free agent C Isaiah Hartenstein has agreed on a three-year, $87 million deal with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Hartenstein leave the Knicks for the top West seed eager to add his size, skill and physicality. Can’t compete with $29 million a year for a title contender. That […]

The Knicks might make a pick, so tonight does matter, but there is so much in the air with the possibility of the team being hard-capped at the first apron. So maybe they trade their picks? I have no idea. I am still excited about Mikal Bridges, though. EDITED TO ADD: I imagine everyone expected […]

Talk about a Woj bomb! The New York Knicks agreed on Tuesday to a trade that will see them acquire Mikal Bridges from the Brooklyn Nets, sources told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. The Knicks will send Bojan Bogdanovic, four unprotected first-round picks (2025, 2027, 2029, 2031), a 2025 protected first-rounder via the Milwaukee Bucks, a 2028 […]

In the first round of the 2022 NBA Playoffs, the Denver Nuggets (who won 48 games while playing with Monte Morris and Austin Rivers as their point guards over Jamal Murray, who missed the whole season, and with Will Barton as their main wing, playing over Michal Porter Jr., who missed almost the entire season), […]

Both OG Anunoby and Josh Hart will start Game 7 for the Knicks against the Pacers today, and that just speaks to the heart and the resiliency of this Knicks team, and it is just so inspiring. You really have to like the Knicks’ chances today with both OG and Hart starting, as even a […]

The Knicks head to Indianapolis for Game 6 of this Best of 7 series, and honestly, this just speaks to how important home court is, as you know that eventually someone is bound to lose at home, and you sure want to be the team that had their home games out of the way already […]

The Knicks head back to the Garden after a disastrous Game 4 performance to a tied series, and no OG for tonight, and very likely Friday night, as well. So the Knicks’ backs are against the wall, as their defense without OG is pretty darn bad, and the Pacers have the best offense left in […]

The Knicks head to Indiana to take on the Pacers, now down one of their most indispensable players, OG Anunoby. That is a huge blow for the Knicks, but he might actually return this series, so the Knicks really just need to split these next two games to be in the driver’s seat still (even […]

The Knicks suffered yet another major injury as Mitchell Robinson, who had been playing visibly hurt since his “encounter” with Joel Embiid in Game 3 of the first round, has been ruled out for the rest of the playoffs. Honestly, though, losing a clearly injured Mitch, while certainly a blow, is really not that much […]

The Knicks host the Indiana Pacers in Game 1 of the second round, the first time since the 2013 Playoffs that the Knicks are no doubt about it favorites in a round. And you know what? It feels pretty fucking sweet. I was bullish on the Knicks in all of their playoff series in the […]

As I noted earlier today, this Pacers series really feels like the Hawks second round series in the 1999 playoffs. The first round against the Heat, that was the grind. That was the series the Knicks had to fight and scratch at to win. The Hawks series was then like a breath of fresh air, […]

In all seriousness, the Knicks are obviously in the much better situation than the Sixers. The Knicks just need to split these two games, while the Sixers need to win both games (which will also mean beating the Knicks three games in a row). So just relax. The Knicks will probably close the Sixers out […]
