Day: March 17, 2017

Brook Lopez scored a game-high 24 points and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson added 20 points and 10 rebounds as the Nets defeated the Knicks for the second time in five days, 121-110, Thursday night at Madison Square Garden.

Knicks F Kristaps Porzingis will miss the Knicks’ game against the Nets on Thursday night with a left thigh contusion.

The Knicks host the Nets at Madison Square Garden tonight at 7:30 p.m. ET.

Despite all of the issues the Knicks have dealt with this season, along with the team’s brutal record, Phil Jackson will not fire Jeff Hornacek.

Anthony Donahue and Moke Hamilton are officially in the dog days of the season as the guys discuss what Knicks fans can look forward to for the rest of the year.

Jeremy Lin had 15 points to torment his former team as the Knicks fell further down the standings.

Jobe transformed Southern into a scoring powerhouse during his 12 seasons as head coach and led the team to the N.C.A.A. tournament four times.

The question had to be asked of Jeremy Lin, considering he was back at the home of “Linsanity” on Thursday night at Madison Square Garden and had just led a third-quarter comeback that gave the Nets back-to-back wins over the Knicks, his former team, in the space of five days.

The Knicks put the exclamation point on Jeff Hornacek’s concession speech from Tuesday and clinched a losing record for the fourth straight year Thursday night.

Jeff Hornacek recently said that the Knicks are all but out of the playoff race. So what’s to make of his future with the team?

Worst part about loss to Nets? Knicks aren’t even tanking

NBA Rumor Central: Why Knicks likely won’t be an option for Jeff Teague

By now, there is so much triangle fatigue in New York, at Madison Square Garden, wherever Knicks fans congregate to talk about another awful season. The triangle offense has become something of an unindicted co-conspirator to all that befalls and befuddles the Knicks now. That’s silly, sure. It’s unfair. But facts are facts, and truth…

Kristaps Porzingis knows if he doesn’t finish this season strong, he won’t be able to sleep this summer. With the playoffs all but out of reach, that’s what motivates the 7-foot-3 Latvian across the final month. Porzingis missed his 11th game this season Thursday against the Nets with his third different injury — a bruised…

The Nets beat the Knicks not once, but twice this week. And rather than humility, the reaction coming from some corners of the Knicks locker room was pure salt. According to forward Kyle O’Quinn, Brooklyn’s lightly regarded roster didn’t even belong on the court at the Garden with the Knicks, whom you may recall Derrick…

Years ago, John Andariese and I entered The Garden, where that night he called a Knicks game with Marv Albert. When we stepped inside the media entrance on 33rd Street, the security guard at the door gave Andariese a big, warm hello. Andariese returned it — calling the man by his first name. That’s the…

Ex-Knicks reserve forward David Stallworth took two years off after his heart attack in 1967 at age 25 and came back to the Knicks. It’s a good thing Stallworth did because the Knicks may never have won their first NBA title during the 1969-70 season. Stallworth, who passed away Thursday at the age of 75,…

You can’t stop the Brooklyn Nets. You can only try to contain them. The Knicks’ tanking moved into high gear Thursday when they dropped their second game in five days to the NBA’s worst team, getting overrun by their neighbors from Kings County 121-110 at the Garden in blowing an 11-point first-half lead. It officially…

Stallworth was part of two key pieces of Knicks history.

Porzingis didn’t play Thursday, but don’t take it as a sign that the Knicks have entered full tank mode yet.

At this point, we’re not asking which is the best team in New York.

Kristaps Porzingis probably won’t be joining James Dolan’s band anytime soon.
