There’s more than one way to build a winner. MMiranda: Who’s the biggest free agent signing in Knicks history? I’ll wait. Reader, there was no free agency for most of the NBA’s existence . Ergo, riddle me this: who’s the biggest free agent the Knicks have signed in your lifetime? My “big three” def deserve to be lowercase. Tyson Chandler, Amar’e...

Especially not to an alcoholic like you! When you reel through the Getty Images of James Dolan you see him with all varieties of rich, famous and powerful people. Many of them arm in arm, big toothy smiles. You read Ian O’Connor’s smart profile on him and you get a glimpse into how the glib poet views himself. He oscillates between fair assessment and overcomplicated dishonesty. All told...

Bro, do you even tank? Last night the Knicks put the “ick” in Knicks, falling 128-110 to a Suns team that put the “nix” in Phoenix, as in nixing the tank. The West’s bottom feeders won their third in a row and just their second road tilt all season. New York was without Tim Hardaway Jr., Allonzo Trier, Damyean Dotson and Mitchell Robinson, but this game was all about who was there — on both...

At least this one didn’t involve Nick Young. Let’s get this out of the way: I highly doubt there’s a non-embarrassing way to lose at home to the last-place Phoenix Suns . Sure, the Knicks were playing the second night of a back-to-back, and sure, the Suns have played better of late. But this is a 6-24 team we’re talking about here. ...or it was. The Suns picked up their seventh win of...

Ping pong bowl. Punctuating a rough little road trip with their second game in as many nights the Knicks (9-22) welcome in the Suns (6-24). New York only had one win and even that took an extra frame. So this game won’t be easy despite coming against one of the weakest teams in the NBA. Thankfully even this sure footed Log Lady can put ‘em on skates. My new hero Greta Rogers dunked...

After two surprising losses, Jenkins helps W-Knicks get back on track. Following a surprising end to their seven-game winning streak, the Westchester Knicks (14-5) were faced with a serious chance of taking a step back, especially with their 12 day road trip beginning soon. But after being blown out by the Lakeland Magic on Tuesday, the Knicks quickly found their winning ways again, via...

The Pacers are better than the Knicks. Sunday’s game between the New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers transpired, that much is certain. The ball was tipped at the start. some things happened for 48 minutes, and the Pacers walked away with their seventh consecutive win, 110-99. As for the Knicks, Sunday’s game seemed like a bit of a step forward...at least on paper. Our boys in orange and...

So close, yet so never really a threat to win... The Knicks hung in all night but lost it late, falling 110-99 in Indianapolis. There are reasons New York’s chasing a top-three draft pick while Indiana chases a top-three playoff seed; over 48 minutes those reasons emerged gradually but inexorably. The Knicks were without Allonzo Trier, Mitchell Robinson and Lance Thomas, while Tyreke Evans...

I’m already bothered by this game. Something inside my soul is telling me this is the bad haircut of games. You get to the shop nice and early so you’re not in a rush. You trust your barber so you don’t think about it too much. You know you’ll walk out with a decent cut. And then ZIP! Uh-oh. How do you recover? Sadly the only option is to cut it all off or wait about a week (with your...

His record would stand for a quarter century Because Richie Guerin’s career with the New York Knicks wrapped up before the team finally won a championship, the 6’4” shooting guard does not get the praise he deserves, but 59 years ago this week Guerin etched his name into the history books with a 57-point showing that at the time set the Knicks and MSG record for most points in a single...

The Lukanuel Korniay game! The first piece I wrote for P&T examined why we follow the Knicks during lost seasons. Four and a half years later, New York’s 126-124 fourth quarter comeback and overtime win in Charlotte answered the question better than I ever could. We sift through rivers of darkness hunting for fractions of light, waiting for the day the light is whole again. It’s not — not...

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? Um...what just happened? Events were proceeding normally. The Knicks embarrassed themselves in the first quarter, as usual. Kevin Knox was on his way to another good scoring game in a losing effort. The only truly notable part of the evening was ankle injuries to Mitchell Robinson and Frank Ntilikina. With Mitch and Frank joining Damyean Dotson , Trey Burke and ...

Is a Hornets nest dangerous? New York (8-21) zips down to Charlotte (14-13) for the second game of their road trip. The Hornets are flying high, on a mini three-game win streak. Especially after this amazing Jeremy Lamb game-winner. The Knicks , on the other hand, have lost five consecutive and are coming off a pitiful game-losing inbound catastrophe. Knicks are stifled on...

Get that money and party on! I guess I owe the New York Knicks ’ front office an apology. When it became glaringly clear the team would part with veteran big man Joakim Noah , I blamed the team for the irreparable rupture. At this point in my life it has become little more than a reflex — something bad happened, so I should blame the Knicks. It’s a reflex that has rarely, if ever, led...

Thanks for the memories, and good luck in your future endeavors Ron Baker , a gritty and serviceable basketballer whose NBA ceiling is beneath the roof, made his final sacrifice for the New York Knicks this week when he was waived in order to make room on the roster for undrafted rookie sensation Allonzo Trier . Baker , best known for his luxurious locks of golden hair that flow like...
