From ESPN News Services (I have no idea what “ESPN News Services” means): Jose Alvarado is declining his $4.5 million player option and intends to sign a new three-year, $14-plus million deal to return to the New York Knicks, sources told ESPN’s Shams Charania. The guard was acquired from New Orleans during the season and […]

It’s nice to be NBA champions, and not have to think too much about the draft. But hey, the draft still matters, of course, so we shall see what Leon Rose and Brock Aller come up with! It could tell us what their plan is with Mitchell Robinson if they draft a “Ready to play” […]

From Colin Martin: The Knicks and restricted free agent Mohamed Diawara are working on a multiyear, eight-figure deal to bring the rookie back to New York, SNY NBA Insider Ian Begley confirms. The deal is not official, but all signs are pointing to it getting done, Begley notes. Big move. This really came down to […]

The parade is happening now, and I thought it’d be nice to have a thread to discuss it!

“Jim broke the family remote in ‘94 when they lost in the Finals to the Rockets. For reference.” A pertinent reference, to be sure. Dave and I had just been added to a group thread for our imminent brother-in-law’s bachelor party, to be held on Cape Cod the weekend of June 12. Kehl, the groom’s […]

Years and years in the making and now it’s here and words fail. Let’s start with the facts, because I don’t need to think of them, just to record them. The New York Knicks are champions of the NBA. Jalen Brunson, a benchwarmer’s toddler in the locker room during the 1999 Finals run, is the […]

Back during one of the many lean periods in recent Knick history, I was a benchwarmer here at Knickerblogger. I wasted my evenings watching terrible basketball and writing about the likes of Jeremy Tyler, Andrea Bargnani, Beno Udrih, Langston Galloway. A young Iman Shumpert was the only bright spot we had. I may or may […]

The Knicks head back to San Antonio, the same place where they sucked the souls out of the Spurs by beating them in Games 1 AND 2 (only, like, the third time that that has ever happened in NBA history) to complete the soul-devouring by finishing this series in five games, which is how many […]

As I write these words, the Spurs lead the Knicks 59-38, about halfway (!!!) thorugh the second quarter. It was worse a minute ago but we just got a couple of transition layups by Brunson. Spurs called a timeout, I’m watching a Popeye’s commercial. I have two little kids who need to get out of […]

The San Antonio Spurs screwed up the Knicks’ 13-game-winning streak, but that won’t really matter so long as the Knicks pull this one off tonight. A 3-1 lead, with Game 6 back in the Garden as a backup? That would be such a back-breaker that I would truly expect for the Knicks to just take […]

New York Knicks owner James Dolan made a rare appearance on WFAN this afternoon, hours before the crucial Game Four tipoff. As is his wont, he proceeded to open his mouth and cram his Florsheims deep down his throat. Via reporter Kris Pursiainen, who apparently has the kind of steel-reinforced stomach capable of transcribing radio […]

I’m with Mike Brown — The Knicks lost Game 3 based on their own play, no doubt. There were at least 4-6 Knicks’ passes that were to thin air; the offense was in disarray; they shot poorly especially Bridges and Shamet; and KAT was a non-factor. By every observable method the Spurs were the better […]

At least we know who to blame. Dude was booed ruthlessly during the national anthem. THAT will be remembered forever. The other Who: The Refs. It’s a clown show right now. That the whistle wasn’t as egregious as Game 2’s doesn’t mean it wasn’t a joke. It was very much a joke! We all see […]

Tough loss. Mitch Johnson seems to have done a much better job making his moronic team go to the basket more often, and it worked out beautifully for them. And yet the Knicks never quit, and still had a chance in the end. Good for them!
