The Knicks host the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 2 of their first round playoff matchup. Well, Game 1 sure was fascinating, huh? We all thought that Embiid was not really in game shape for the playoffs, and he wasn’t, and yet Nick Nurse still came up with a heck of a gameplan to take on […]

Here we go, the most important game of the Knicks’ season (until the next one). This game is particularly huge because it is sort of the proof of concept game. We know the Knicks can kick the Sixers’ ass, but will they? We shall see today if they can make Embiid run so much he […]

Man, I was a lot more worried about the Sixers before they looked like garbage against the Heat in the Play-In Game. Had Jimmy Butler not gotten hurt, the Knicks would totally be playing the Heat in this series. So I guess I have go with a gentlemen’s sweep (which I am defining as the […]

This will get buried by the Daily News Thread, but I thought that it was too important to not give it a spotlight. Huge congrats to Thibs and the boys for a very cool accomplishment of clinching the playoff spot. It’s a tough Eastern Conference (a tougher Western Conference, but still), and it is a […]

From Woj: After two months of rehabilitation to attempt a return to the New York Knicks, All-NBA forward Julius Randle will undergo season-ending right shoulder surgery, the team announced Thursday. Randle, who has been out since dislocating his shoulder on Jan. 27, had been relentlessly rehabilitating to resume playing prior to the Eastern Conference playoffs. […]

The Knicks head to Sacramento to take on a pretty good Sacramento Kings team, but luckily for the Knicks, OG Anunoby will play tonight despite being questionable due to his elbow possibly falling off at some point last night. It’s going to be fun to watch the Brunson/OG force take on a good team. This […]

There are so many different possibilities for the Knicks today that I would not be surprised by a big move, a little move, or even no move at all (okay, I’d be a bit surprised by no move at all). I think that it is clear that Rose wants to keep as much of his […]

After another dominating win (kicking the asses of the two NBA Finalists from last year in back-to-back games), the Knicks had a bit of a roadblock with Julius Randle suffering a late game shoulder injury. It looked like a shoulder dislocation at the time, and Woj now confirms it: New York Knicks F Julius Randle […]

From Woj: The Toronto Raptors are finalizing a trade to send OG Anunoby to the New York Knicks for a package including RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley and draft considerations, sources tell ESPN. I was literally just writing a comment about Leon Rose needing to be bold, clicked “post,” and then I saw this, and fuck, […]

From Rafael Canton: In the past month, Knicks players Josh Hart and Quentin Grimes have voiced concerns with their role on the team. The complaints have centered around feeling involved in the offense. “It feels like if I don’t hit the shot, I’m coming out,” Grimes said after New York’s loss to Milwaukee earlier this […]

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson will have surgery this week on his left ankle, the team said Monday. The operation will take place at New York’s Hospital for Special Surgery and he will be re-evaluated in 8-10 weeks. He was hurt in Friday’s 133-123 loss at Boston and already had been ruled out for […]

The Daily Thread is down for a while while Mike cooks up a new script so posting this to save some scrolling.

From Fred Katz: How Brunson and Quickley move together could determine Quickley’s future, and thus the Knicks’ fate, too. The fourth-year guard will become a restricted free agent next summer after he and the team failed to agree on an extension heading into this season. And part of the reason negotiations weren’t close was because […]

From Stefan Bondy, who is now covering the Knicks for the Post after the Daily News let him go: An old enemy in new digs punished the Knicks on opening night. Kristaps Porzingis went from booed during introductions to being cursed in a chant to taking over down the stretch of Boston’s 108-104 comeback victory […]

We just had one of the more boring offseasons in recent memory, complete with an absurdly stupid preseason schedule (and when the games were played, either the Knicks or their opponents tended to rest a bunch of stars) and seventy-five different players signed to the Knicks two-way contracts, but finally, mercifully, real NBA basketball is […]
