New York Knicks: NY Post News Articles
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
The Knicks will announce an advertising sponsor to put on their jerseys at a Tuesday press conference. Real-life companies such as “Superior Tank,’’ “May Tank Co.’’ and “Tank Design” lost out. The Knicks didn’t want to reveal their seasonal strategy so blatantly. But the black cat is out of the bag before Halloween. Yes, Phil...

Jeff Hornacek didn’t finish the thought, preferring silence to criticism. The Knicks coach seemed ticked the Rockets played their starters until the buzzer in Monday night’s preseason contest at the Garden. “No, I’m not surprised,” Hornacek said, when asked if he was fine with the move by Rockets coach and former Knicks head man Mike...
NY Post (Zach Braziller) —
The Knicks seem primed for the regular season — if tanking is the goal. They remained winless in the preseason Monday night, hammered by the Rockets 117-95 at the Garden. Again looking incapable of defending the opponent, the Knicks fell to 0-4 this preseason with Friday’s finale against the Wizards remaining and have yet to...
NY Post (Kyle Schnitzer) —
A hot mic caught MSG personalities Alan Hahn and Wally Szczerbiak trashing Knicks power forward Kristaps Porzingis for his poor preseason display before the Nets eventually slaughtered the Knicks, 117-83, at Barclays Center on Sunday night. The Knicks were behind by as many as 38 points, and Porzingis was the furthest thing from a bright...

With Floyd Mayweather seated in the front row, the Nets put a beating on the Knicks that the boxing champion would have been proud of. Yes, it was just preseason. No, it won’t count in the standings. But after rolling 117-83 on Sunday — and hammering their cross-river rivals twice in the span of three...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
At least Ron Baker will be back. Though rookie point guard Frank Ntilikina missed his third straight preseason game Monday against the Rockets with his right-knee bruise, Baker is scheduled to make his preseason debut at the Garden. The bright light of last season as an undrafted rookie, Baker’s second training camp has been disastrous,...

With Floyd Mayweather seated in the front row, the Nets put a beating on the Knicks that the boxing champion would’ve been proud of. It was just preseason, and won’t count in the standings. But with Brooklyn coach Kenny Atkinson admitting their defense would have to carry them until their offense gets in sync, Sunday’s...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
Willy Hernangomez did not start for the Spanish national team at the European championships this summer – not with the Gasol brothers going strong. But the 6-foot-11 bullish Spanish center figured as the lock to start for the Knicks in the pivot, especially after gleaning valuable intel from the great Gasols. In addition, Joakim Noah...
NY Post (Howie Kussoy) —
Frank Ntilikina will sit out his second straight preseason game — Sunday against the Nets — and is still considered day-to-day with a knee bruise, but the 19-year-old said he could return to action Monday night against the Rockets. Ntilikina, who missed all of summer league because of the same injury, said he isn’t concerned...
NY Post (Howie Kussoy) —
A plan is in place. The bar has been dropped. Before the Knicks’ preseason loss Friday to the Wizards, new general manager Scott Perry said he believes fans just want to see the team compete hard, and that “they can live with the results” — if the long-term direction of the franchise is positive. The...

WASHINGTON — Kristaps Porzingis rested and rookie point guard Frank Ntilikina sat out with a bruised knee, but Knicks center Enes Kanter showed what he can do on the offensive end in making his first preseason start. Kanter piled up 14 points in 14:38 of the first half and finished with a team-leading 16, but...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
WASHINGTON — New Knicks general manager Scott Perry said he believes the team’s fans will be satisfied with any result this season if they witness a franchise “establishing a direction” and fighting every game. The new regime has centered the 2017-18 season on developing a young core and not focusing as much on a playoff...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
WASHINGTON — Knicks center Joakim Noah used the word “adversity’’ four times during a morning-shootaround interview Friday at Capital One Arena. That’s two less than the number of surgeries he’s had. With six NBA surgeries on his resume, Noah realizes he’s got a steep hill to climb to get significant playing time this season. Noah’s...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
WASHINGTON — Jeff Hornacek delved into “Trust The Process” mode at the Friday morning shootaround. Hornacek invoked the name of Sixers coach Brett Brown, the practitioner of the Sixers’ multi-year tank job, in trying to find the right balance this season. It’s the first time the Knicks coach overtly acknowledged there may not be a...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
WASHINGTON — The Knicks understand Enes Kanter isn’t here to solve their defensive woes. He’s an old-school, 6-foot-11, back-to-the-basket center and voracious offensive rebounder. Defense hasn’t been the new Knicks’ strong suit and he even lost playing time in last season’s playoffs with the Thunder because of that deficiency. After the Knicks allowed 115 points...
