Let’s get this straight and get rid of the most stupid part of this whole story even before we get started: Jalen Brunson is not why the NBA Finals are now a series. Brunson surely is not a problem—any problem—for the Knicks, no matter how you look at it, let alone after a run that […]

The Knicks didn’t win a game for the first time in 14 attempts, and since CJ McCollum ignited the second-greatest postseason run in NBA history. New York won 13 straight, and is now just two away—with four more opportunities to get those dubs—from winning the whole thing. Here’s the latest from MSG’s action on Monday. […]

They had to lose some time, right? The dream of 15 straight wins to a title always felt a bit unlikely against a very talented and hungry Spurs team, but you believed it a little after Game 2. Unfortunately, the Garden lights weren’t too bright for San Antonio, unlike some other teams. Let’s get to […]

For Game Three of the NBA Finals, a graphic of the Larry O’Brien Trophy was laid under the Knicks logo at halfcourt. This marks the very first time the image of the trophy has ever been placed there. Others have said it, but allow me to reiterate: seeing the iconic trophy on the court at […]

When the San Antonio Spur starting lineup was introduced, the loudest boos were for Victor Wembanyama. Before the national anthem was halfway finished, the loudest boos were for President Sex Offender. By the end of the night, the people’s ire was centered on the officials. And through it all, the Spurs did not care. San […]

Intense playoff basketball calls for heightened scrutiny on the margins. Every rotation matters. The margins are small enough that each small schematic shift can not only swing games, but also define entire seasons. For that reason, coaching stands out this time of year. The good coaches are usually the ones who make it to this […]

Here’s my latest conversation with J.R. Wilco of Pounding the Rock. After a pair of nail-biters in San Antonio, the NBA Finals shift to Madison Square Garden with the Knicks holding a 2-0 lead and the Spurs searching for answers. In the latest edition of our ongoing Finals correspondence, J.R. and I discuss Game Two’s […]

Remember those long breaks between the second and third rounds, then the Conference Finals and the Finals? Having an extra day of rest between Games 2 and 3 felt like twice as long to me. Thank God we’re back at it. Here’s another humongous Bulletin ahead of Game 3, covering everything that went down on […]

The New York Knicks were never going to win the trade. Not in November. Not in December. Not in January. Not in April or May. Simply put, Mikal Bridges would forever need to carry the weight of landing in Manhattan by way of five draft picks sent across the bridge to Brooklyn. The Knicks’ package […]

The loudest I’ve ever heard Knicks fans at Madison Square Garden was May 16, 1997. Game 6, Knicks vs. Heat. 48 hours earlier, P.J. Brown lit the match that David Stern’s dumb de jure brain fanned into the fire that torched the ‘90s Knicks last shot at MJ and the Bulls, ergo their last shot […]

“You’re gonna have a dude. You have to have a 1A dude. And they’re missing that. He too small. “I have a philosophy: If your best player is small, you’re not winning. John Stockton, Allen Iverson, Steve Nash, you can go down the list… Steph Curry is the only—he’s in a different class.” — Becky […]

Why do we have to wait one more day to enjoy another Knicks game? Who would have thought, but turns out ballers also rest on weekends. We don’t, so here’s another Bulletin presented by your very own. Mike Brown On not looking too far amid the NBA Finals: “One of the things that we preach […]

The New York Knicks are just two wins from earning their first championship since they last hoisted the Larry O’Brien trophy all the way back in 1973. They might as well have won it already. After Friday’s 105-104 win over the San Antonio Spurs in Game 2 of the NBA Finals, New York is standing […]

“And David put his hand in his bag,” wrote the anonymous or eponymous author of the book of Samuel, “and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth. So David prevailed over the […]
