Can the Knicks finally beat a top five team and advance? While the Knicks are currently tied for the seventh best record in the league with a 12-7 record, only two of their 12 wins have come against teams with a record over .500—and those two wins came against the Heat and the Cavaliers, both of whom are just two games over .500. And in their four games against the Celtics , Bucks, and...

Team playing well = Quentin Grimes starting games The New York Knicks and the Milwaukee Bucks will square off tonight to punch their tickets to Las Vegas and the Final Four of the first-ever In-Season Tournament. Expanding on Julius Randle’s comments made on Monday about having to face a stronger opponent in Milwaukee instead of a lesser squad had the Knicks failed to qualify for the...

Soundbites from Tarrytown ahead of the first-ever IST QF in New York’s history. It’s NBA Cup time, folks. The In-Season Tournament Quarterfinals kicked off on Monday with Obi Toppin’s Indiana Pacers beating (an absent) Kristaps Portizing’s Boston Celtics before the New Orleans Pelicans dealt with the Sacramento Kings. On Tuesday, it’s time for the Los Angeles Lakers and the Phoenix...

He’s so back! Julius Randle might have had a shaky start to the season, but he has found his groove. The Knicks’ forward was just named Eastern Conference Player of the Week for games that took place from November 27th to December 3rd. Julius Randle is an absolute MACHINE pic.twitter.com/2SVWTtgpUC — NEW YORK KNICKS (@nyknicks) December 4, 2023 In his last three games,...

TriVincenzo . . . DonTrey . . . Whatever you call him, the Big Ragu has been a bucket. I’ll admit, I’ve been somewhat critical of Donte DiVincenzo and the start he had offensively this season, but there’s a reason why. Many of us Knicks fans expected solid defense, some steals, solid playmaking, and most importantly, outside shooting. While we got glimpses of what he was capable of doing,...

Stan Son gives the Knicks respect, but picks the Celtics to win the Cup. Tomorrow in Wisconsin, the fourth-seed New York Knicks will challenge the first-seed Milwaukee Bucks in the quarterfinal knockout round of the In-Season Tournament. Currently, the Bucks hold a -200 moneyline and a -4.5 spread (BetMGM). However, Stan Son at The Athletic gives New York more than a fighting chance...

Jacob’s Ladder If the last name sounds familiar to you, it should. Jacob Toppin, Obi Toppin’s younger brother has been hooping for the Westchester Knicks of the G-League through nine games with the team so far. After going undrafted in June, Toppin earned a two-way contract through his hard work, albeit not participating during their Summer League play due to a minor injury. Since then he...

The tale of Mitch taking his grieving high school coach as a roommate may be the sports cross-over story of the year and received coverage everywhere . Combining a charming humility with his...

False narratives abound, beware of them! Check this out. Now tell me Julius Randle is having a “slow start to the 2023-24 season.” Randle is playing his 10th season of pro hoops since he landed in the Association coming out of Kentucky. He did so by getting drafted as a top-10 pick by the Los Angeles Lakers in 2014. Seventh overall, Hollywood bound. The 2014 Lakers sucked a bit. Los...

It took QG more than 16 games. Can’t complain! Quentin Grimes made history by scoring his first two free throws of the 2023-24 season against the Toronto Raptors north of the border on Friday, in a game the Knicks ended up winning 119-106. No joke. Ask Fred Katz of The Athletic about it, and he’ll tell you that Grimes was the slowest player to finally score a freebie among those...

One game on the schedule, but more to come if they win Tuesday’s IST Knockout game The New York Knicks (12-7) have one game on their schedule this week, but could play more depending on their IST results. A Tuesday win would send New York to a neutral-site for a Semifinal game on Thursday. The Championship game will be held in Las Vegas on Saturday. None of this is convenient for your...

21 on 9 shots with 7 treys for the Big Ragu! Donte DiVincenzo 7, Toronto Raptors 6. That’s the story of Friday’s game right there. In MrBenks ’ words: “Donte TriVincenzo.” In a matchup between the New York Knicks (12-7) and the Canadian Raps (9-11), the former flew north of the border and were outhustled. It didn’t matter, as the Knicks returned home with the second win in as many...

52 bench points bury Toronto down the stretch. There were reasons to worry ahead of tonight’s game at Scotiabank Arena. The New York Knicks (12-7) had beat the Pistons at Madison Square Garden last night, and it was reasonable to expect some fatigue. Julius Randle was listed as questionable with knee inflammation. The Toronto Raptors (9-11) have a mediocre record, but their defense is...

No, thank you. Today marks the first day of December which means it’s the time of year when rumors about potential trades start surfacing. While the trade deadline is still months away, teams have now gotten far enough into the current season to have at least an idea of what their ceiling is and just how good, or bad, they might be. One team in the midst of its early season evaluations,...

The Knicks shooting guard is off to a disappointing start in his third year Heading into the 2023–24 NBA season, Knicks shooting guard Quentin Grimes looked to be in a good place. He was coming off a 2022–23 sophomore campaign that saw him play in 71 regular-season games and start in 66. Playing 30 minutes per game, Grimes averaged 11.3 points and knocked down 2.2 three-pointers at 38.6...
