The NBA trade deadline is just four days away. By Thursday afternoon, pencils will be down across the NBA, and the teams will mostly be set. The Knicks, after a 7-8 month that saw them go from playing like the worst team in basketball to a five-game winning streak, are fishing in several different waters […]

The Knicks (30*-18) welcome the Lakers (29-18) to Madison Square Garden with the building buzzing again. New York has won five straight games (four by double digits) thanks to a top-10 defense, world-class rebounding, and an explosive offense. The team that was a reeking garbage pile just a couple of weeks ago smells fresh as […]

It’s trade week at last. By the end of Thursday, there could be a new Knick or two on the roster, and we might be bidding adieu to those who were dealt. Or maybe Leon Rose does nothing, that enigmatic minx. These are the Days of Our NBA. If you’ve been eating a gyro for […]

My mind’s been mush all week. There’s a bug going around the family that finally found me. My ADHD is turned up to 11. I’m absolutely burnt. The harder I try, the worse it gets, like your car’s stuck in the snow and you keep hitting the gas, going nowhere as the rut deepens. I’m […]

The Knicks being the Knicks are Knicking, of course, going from losing 9-of-11 to winning five consecutive games. Coming up next? The Lake Show at MSG on Sunday evening. Here’s what your current (and maybe future) superheroes had to say after yesterday’s trouncing of the PDX. Mike Brown On pushing through adversity in January: “We […]

When the Knicks (30*-18) battled the Portland Trail Blazers (23-26) earlier this month, they had struggled a bit to contain the youngsters, only putting the game away late in the fourth quarter. Tonight, New York was clearly intent on putting a stamp on the game early, and so they did with a 24-point first-half lead. […]

The pendulum swings back and forth, as the Knicks have now won four games in a row after a brutal start to the new year. The team’s post-Thibodeau hangover looked real, as Mike Brown hung his hat on the offensive side of things. The strategy worked – until it didn’t. After another brutal loss at […]

Cue the Robert Randolph. Tonight New York (29*-18) will host the Portland Trail Blazers (23-25) at Madison Square Garden in their second and final meeting of the season. And this time the vibes are good. Friday night Knicks! Wee wheedle wheedle wheedle wheedle wump! Just last week the sky was falling in New York. They […]

When Tom Thibodeau was relieved of his duties after the Knicks’ unceremonious exit at the hands of the Indiana Pacers in May, there were a few prevailing grievances that led to the coach’s downfall. One of them was a stubbornness to lineup construction. Thibodeau’s defense always required a rim protector, preventing him from ever considering […]

The Nets, 76ers, Kings, and Raptors are not necessarily the Mount Rushmore of contenders in the NBA today. So a four-game winning streak against them alone shouldn’t, and doesn’t, overwrite the 2-9 11 game stretch the Knicks experienced not too long ago. But, if you look at the way they have played since players spoke […]

In the early hours after Kevin Durant became a Brooklyn Net, I wrote that the Knicks were lucky to have missed out on a 30-year-old generational superstar: For the first time, there will be expectations and the heat of the Gotham spotlight. Durant struggled with the press in Oklahoma City. Even with all his individual […]

If you are reading this, chances are you know by now that one, Karl-Anthony Towns has been underperforming and that he’s been floated around as a potential trade candidate, and two, the Knicks have been targeting Giannis Antetokounmpo for quite some time now. Given those two truths, the contracts of the two players, and the […]

The Knicks seemingly cannot lose a game these days. Remember when New York was closer to tanking the season than winning the East like, three days ago? Yeah, right. Here’s a bunch of quotes as we approach the trade deadline coming off another dub on Wednesday. Mike Brown On adjusting offensively on Wednesday: “We had […]

The New York Knicks (29*-18) played at MSG last night and fought deep into the night before finally knifing the Kings. Just 24 hours later, they took the floor in Toronto to face the Raptors (29-20). The Raps had rested since Sunday and won four straight. A fatigued Knicks team versus one of the hottest […]

Is any player off limits? With the trade deadline a week away, Giannis Antetokounmpo has become the biggest name to watch on the market, and the Knicks have hovered around the center of the conversation all season. From a salary standpoint, a one-for-one deal centered on Karl-Anthony Towns is the cleanest match for both teams. […]
