New York Knicks: Posting and Toasting Blog Articles

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...

The New York Knicks and two-way guard Allonzo Trier have agreed to a two-year deal, per league sources on @TheAthleticNBA @WatchStadium .

Youngins balled? Check. Comeback? Check. Heartbreak? Check. Ping pong balls? Check. The Knicks’ 113-106 loss in Cleveland tonight featured all three faces of tanking. Tanking = crazy. Tanking = classic. Tanking = life. Kevin Knox started for the first time since mid-November at small forward, which was interesting ‘cuz: When Knox plays the 4, the Knicks net rating is bad (-7.9),...

Knox! The New York Knicks lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers Wednesday night, 113-106. Was it a productive loss? Absolutely. The Knicks are now 0.5 games behind Cleveland for fourth place in the tank rankings. Was it painful to watch? Ehh...not really. In fact, some tremendously inspirational moments were provided late, particularly from rookie Kevin Knox , who came up huge late with a...

Maybe coach isn’t so crazy after all The alarm sirens that had been sounding surrounding the benching of Frank Ntilikina seem somewhat muted in the aftermath of the Frenchman’s brilliant performance against the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday, and though the question of whether it was smart to sideline Ntilikina at all still stands, there’s no denying that the early returns are exactly...

Cookin up in the trap game. Pretty beaten down by injuries and with the revolving door of trade spinning, the Cavaliers (6-21) welcome the not as critically wounded Knicks (8-20). Both of these teams are deep in the well of struggle. Cleveland hasn’t had Kevin Love basically all year and just lost arguably their best player to date in Tristan Thompson . The Knicks have tightened up...

See what had happened when LeBron said “The Garden” was... Lebron James was saying goodbye to Dwyane Wade’s annoying career the other night in Los Angeles. Not that we should care. Then as if we’re allowed to not care, for some unknown reason, they weren’t covering their mouths with their jerseys or towels. While surrounded by more than several camera folks, Lebron said something about where...

Lee and the W-Knicks. The New York Knicks have assigned Courtney Lee to Westchester, per their own PR Twitter account. Courtney Lee has been assigned to Westchester. He is scheduled to be available to play tomorrow at Lakeland and rejoin the NY Knicks on Thursday in Charlotte. — NY_KnicksPR (@NY_KnicksPR) December 11, 2018 The Westchester Knicks play the Lakeland Magic on...

Allen, a former second round pick, is the definition of hard working. A wise man once said, “there’s beauty in the struggle.” And while many will disagree with that statement as they go through their own struggles, I’m standing in agreement with it. Those who embrace everything, regardless of what they’re going through, usually make it out on top and better than ever. So I guess that’s why ...

This could have been “The Kevin Knox Game” if it wasn’t maybe “The Frank Ntilikina Game.” The Knicks fell 119-107 to the first-place Charlotte Hornets. The margin of defeat is virtually the same as Allonzo Trier’s points per game. Trier strained his left hamstring during in warmups and didn’t play. Fallacious linear thinking (as opposed to fellatious linear thinking) might conclude all...

As good a loss as you’ll see. The Knicks technically lost Sunday night, I suppose. The Charlotte Hornets scored 119 points to the Knicks’ 107, which is the clinical definition of a loss. But this was more than just another night—this was French Heritage Night! And the Knicks’ resident Frenchman, Frank Ntilikina , rose from the ashes of his recent benching like a magnificent Gallic...
