Brad Penner-USA TODAY Sports An update on your favorite “awesome” player, Cam Hive. Just when you assume he is playing in China, Cam Reddish rises again like Jason Vorhees. Since 2019, Reddish has been most famous for being a flame-out. The third Duke Blue Devil to be selected in the top ten of the 2019 draft began a promising career in Atlanta. He averaged 11 points, 3.4 rebounds,...

Photo by Dustin Satloff/Getty Images Cmon Thibs. The New York Knicks are the worst shooting team in the NBA. After a Friday night loss to the Milwaukee Bucks that saw the Knicks hit 38/96 (40%) field goals and 10/39 (26%) three-pointers, they need offensive help. Scoring 105 points in the loss brought their season average to 103.3, the lowest in the league. Knicks offensive...

Let’s be honest though, #3 will forever be associated with John Starks. Looking at an image of another Knick wearing the number automatically forces thoughts of Starks. If you were to ask any Knicks fan about the iconic...

Photo by Patrick McDermott/Getty Images Bet you the house Tom Thibodeau won’t bench Julius Randle. “Randle is 3-for-15. Anyone, literally any sane coach, benches that player. Thibs is so damn stubborn.” Anthony FreeMasons pointed that out, but oh boy, things would get even worse . That 3-of-15 was Julius Randle’s shooting line in the loss against the Cavs on Wednesday....

Benny Sieu-USA TODAY Sports In losing the inaugural in-season tournament game, New York managed to shoot even worse than their league-worst average. If you close your eyes and listen close, you can still hear the Knicks’ rim ringing like some demonic tuning fork. If not for season-high scoring by Jalen Brunson (45 points)—and a 36-22 rebounding differential—tonight’s game would have...

Kyle Terada-USA TODAY Sports A potentially fun money grab by the league. The NBA has long been exploring ways to maximize viewership throughout the season. Some of these gimmicks have been more successful than others. The three point line was initially introduced by the ABA at its inception in 1967 as a marketing strategy to compete with the larger and superior NBA. When the two...

Getty Images Bring home the cup! Tonight marks the dawn of a new era in the NBA. The New York Knicks (2-3) face the heavily favored Milwaukee Bucks (2-2) tonight for the inaugural game of the NBA’s latest endeavor, the In-Season Tournament.

Photo by Jason Miller/Getty Images Pick up the win at home against a hobbled team, get over .500, and move on. After last night’s win , fans will likely find it easy to pick the Knicks over the Cleveland Cavaliers in tonight’s matchup. The Knicks do have a better lineup right now, are way more healthy, and are coming off a pretty one-sided victory against the Cavaliers. I...

Photo by Jason Miller/Getty Images “We don’t really care. We’re just sirloin steaks.” I have always preferred a good old heavy spread of crunchy chunky peanut butter on my toasts. On Tuesday, Oct. 31st, I learned the New York Knicks players are more into feasting on the smooth, soft variety. Evan Mobley doesn’t come with a wrapper, so I cannot factually confirm that’s the case,...

Photo by David Liam Kyle/NBAE via Getty Images Five Knicks score double-digit points in a mis-matched win. This Halloween, my six-year-old decided to trick-or-treat as a Lego brick. My wife and I assembled a homemade cardboard costume–complete with a lego-piece hat–and then painted our creation. Our paint was cheap, though, and the cardboard used for the Lego nubs had a slick...

The NBA charged Brunson two large for a flopping infringement that was missed in New York’s game in Atlanta on Friday. Previously, teammate Donte...
