Including quotes from ‘That Guy’ and the best rim-runner and finisher in the NBA! In a must-win game for the Knicks, they said, the Celtics won. In a series-swinging game, as they said and even in defeat, the Knicks still lead the series 2-1 entering Game 4 and cannot be down before Game 5. Here’s what Coach Thibs, some Knicks, and a few bragging C’s said after Saturday’s game. ...

Boston wins Game Three wire-to-wire and narrow the Knicks series lead. In Game Three of the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Boston Celtics (1-2) came out determined to prove their might. They drilled everything to bury the New York Knicks (2-1) under a 25-point halftime deficit—an all-time franchise playoff low. The ‘Bockers struggled to find a rhythm all game long, missed shots and...

David Butler II-Imagn Images Haters gonna hate. Let’s get this out of the way because it’s very clear. Neither, and I repeat, NEITHER team has played even close to their best basketball this series. The Celtics look nothing like the team that finished the season as one of the two or three hottest teams in the league and look even less like the team that took home the Larry O’Brien...

Brunson, Towns lead Knicks home to defend series advantage. The New York Knicks return to Madison Square Garden today, leading the Eastern Conference Semifinals 2–0 against the Boston Celtics . In Games One and Two, our heroes overcame 20-point deficits to jab daggers in the hearts of the TD Garden crowd. Jalen Brunson has been key, as always, averaging 23 points per game, while...

New York hosts an Eastern Conference Semi-Finals game, being two away from the ECF. The Knicks have a chance to wrap up their second-round series tonight, inside MSG of all places, in front of a deafening crowd full of New Yorkers. Best of all? The tip-off is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET, which means I will, once and for all, be watching live at 9:30 p.m. in my timezone, not losing sleep...

When I looked ahead to the Knicks ’ second-round matchup against the Celtics , I could not have seen any of this coming. I did think that the Knicks could surprise people by keeping the games closer than their regular season record against the Celtics would’ve suggested. But I admittedly had the Celtics ultimately winning in a hard-fought five-game series. While it’s just been two games, and...

If you cannot wait for Game 3, you’re not alone. Shout-out the new ‘Nova Pope! The Knicks are trending up . The Celtics are trending down . Here’s what Coach Thibs and many other folks ( not the Pope ) have said in the past few hours. "Guys made a lot of tough plays. They were at their best when their best was needed down the stretch." - Tom Thibodeau ...

While the data says yes, the eye test says no-ish. How would you have reacted if someone told you on Monday morning that the Knicks would be heading back to the one true Garden on Saturday with a 2-0 series lead? What if they told you the Knicks were down by 20 in both games and won? You’d probably be completely and totally stunned, as would I. The Knicks got dominated by the Celtics ...

Boston keeps playing the numbers game while New York keeps simply winning them. The Knicks might not play Chef Curry’s game, but one thing they sure do is beat three-point shooters. New York played basketball for a second road game in Boston and, well, sorry to inform my Beantowners, but the Knicks won once more, 91-90 in regulation this time. Here’s what Coach Thibs and a few other...

David Butler II-Imagn Images Larry Bird is not walking through that door Once upon a time, a hare and a tortoise held a race. Of course the hare was heavily favored, and when the race began it raced out of of sight, out to a seemingly insurmountable lead. But the hare lost its momentum and the tortoise kept on keeping on, one step at a time, leading to a photo finish that went to the...

Mikal Bridges scores all his points in the fourth and steals the ball AGAIN at the buzzer to give New York a 2-0 series lead. Impossible, but true. This game was a nearly identical replay of Game One. Tonight at TD Garden, in Game Two of the semifinals, the New York Knicks (2-0) started ice cold. They missed a bunch and fell behind by 16 as the Boston Celtics (0-2) dominated the paint....

No shot they do it again... right? In case you live under a rock, the Knicks put together one of the most inspiring wins of the last fifty years for the franchise at TD Garden on Monday. Facing a twenty point hole halfway through the third quarter, New York battled and bruised their way to a hard fought overtime victory. Jalen Brunson and OG Anunoby led the way on the offensive...

And even then, the Celtics found no answers to the Knicks' subpar basketball. Yikes! The Knicks are back in action tonight as they will try to put distance between them and the Celtics ahead of the first second-round game played inside Madison Square Garden. New York plays Boston holding a commanding 1-0 lead, having already stolen home-court advantage, and planting a humongous seed of...

The Boston choke was not unfamiliar in Game 1, how the Knicks used it was. I’m not sure anyone on the planet had the balls to pick the Knicks to win Game 1. On the road. In hostile Boston territory. Against the defending champions. In a season series that you went 0-4 with three blowouts. Many (including myself) assumed a gentleman’s sweep or some variation of dominance by the team in...

No, you’re not dreaming. Yes, it happened. The world-favorite Celtics are down 0-1 in their second-round series against the Knicks . New York has yet to host Boston for a semi-finals game yet it already is up in the matchup after beating the reigning champs 108-105 in overtime . Here’s what Coach Thibs and a few other folks said before and after yesterday’s shocker for the world but...
