Photo by Stephen Maturen/Getty Images That’s cute, but let’s leave it that and not turn it into a New York City reunion. If Mike Breen and Wally Szczerbiak were running out of talking points for Saturday’s second preseason game between the Knicks and the Wolves, they can now go call and thank Stefan Bondy of the New York Post .

Photo by Steven Freeman/NBAE via Getty Images If that’s the case, they’ve learned nothing from last season’s tip-off. This is not funny, not at all. Almost a year ago, we Knicks fans found ourselves in a very similar situation to the one going on barely a week from the regular season’s tip-off. Back then, on Oct. 18th, 2022, the New York Knicks listed Quentin Grimes in their...

Vincent Carchietta-USA TODAY Sports Top honors for our Block Ness Monster. This season, Posting & Toasting will be handing out Player of the Week awards.

Photo by Sarah Stier/Getty Images Quietly essential big man. Isaiah Hartenstein’s name doesn’t come up often when talking about important players on the Knicks, but he showed just how valuable he can be down the stretch last year. Can the second-year Knick do the same this season? Good start: When talking about Hartenstein’s first season as a Knick, it’s important to note that...

Photo by Sarah Stier/Getty Images Splitting follicles. If you want to call the New York Knicks boring, go ahead and do so. Nobody will call you crazy, not in the environment in which the NBA operates these days. That is, of course, the one in which what happens in the months spanning from July through October is more important than what takes place on the court through the...

Photo by Jesse D. Garrabrant/NBAE via Getty Images In the last five seasons, the best the Knicks have finished in assists per game is...27th. The words ‘assist’ and ‘ Knicks ’ may almost rhyme, but the two have not meshed well in recent memory. The Knicks opened their 2023-24 preseason with a 114-107 victory over the Boston Celtics .

Photo by Alex Goodlett/Getty Images And KAT and Joel? Last week, Stefan Bondy (NY Post) wrote , “The Knicks are monitoring three targets, in particular, a source said: Minnesota’s Karl-Anthony Towns, Philadelphia’s Joel Embiid and Cleveland’s Donovan Mitchell.” I cringe at the idea of writing another hundred posts about Donovan Mitchell. There is no denying that the 27-year-old...

Photo by Sarah Stier/Getty Images Immanuel Quickley set an ambitious agenda for himself this past offseason. According to Stefan Bondy (NY Post) , the Knicks’ fourth-year guard worked with a trainer this offseason to bulk up and get stronger.

Vincent Carchietta-USA TODAY Sports It’s good to be back. There’s nothing quite like the anticipation of a new Knicks season. You sleep a little easier at night. It’s comforting knowing the orange and blue will be back on the hardwood soon. Sometimes it’s not the actual product on the court that you miss, either. You’re getting ready to reunite with some old buddies that you haven’t...
