Game Thread: Miami Heat at New York Knicks
Start Time: 01/27/2019 19:30:00
Reeling Knicks, losers of eight straight, host Heat
A quarter-century ago, it was hard to imagine an NBA squad more associated with a head coach than the New York Knicks were with Pat Riley, who imposed his will upon a team that played a grinding, defensively intense, borderline dirty style of ball.

Trey Burke admits he’s old by current Knicks standards, but not by his own. In fact, the 26-year-old point guard said he has not yet hit his prime. After not playing in four straight games and eight of the past 13, Burke only got on the Barclays Center court Friday against the Nets because starter…
Knicks coach David Fizdale has denied he’s tanking, and now he denies the team’s embarrassing 10-37 record is setting up a losing culture. “Most winning cultures start with getting your butt kicked first,’’ Fizdale said after Friday’s 109-99 defeat to the injury-wracked Nets at Barclays Center. Fizdale’s motives — emphasizing player development over the won-loss…
Zion Williamson delivers a flashy dunk but also finishes with a strong performance in another Duke win.
The Knicks’ starting lineup Friday night had some confusion leading up to the game, as Emmanuel Mudiay’s shoulder injury left a void at point guard. And head coach David Fizdale wouldn’t name his replacement, waiting until starting lineups were announced instead.

After sitting Enes Kanter for an entire game again, David Fizdale broke down the reason for freezing out his top rebounder. According to the coach, Kanter does not fit the style of play the Knicks are attempting to establish.
Moreover, Kanter is on an expiring contract, while another 26-year-old…
Even though the Brooklyn fans were chanting for him, Knicks C Enes Kanter remained on the bench throughout the game as he watched his team lose 109-99 on the Barclays Center court.
In their last crosstown matchup of the season, the Knicks fell to the Nets 109-99, as Brooklyn extended their win streak to six games on Friday night at Barclays Center.

Ahead of the Knicks’ matchup against the Nets on Friday, the team will be without their most productive point guard in Emmanuel Mudiay.
It’s never too early to start thinking about NBA free agency, and here in New York City, this summer is crucial for the Knicks and Nets.
Joakim Noah opened up about some of the things that went wrong during his time in New York.
[NYTimes] N.B.A. Teams Are Running and Gunning. And Their Critics Are Yawning. The N.B.A.’s emphasis on pace and 3-pointers, combined with an edict to make defenders back off, has created a scoring explosion. Not everyone is happy.
Frank Ntilikina was not the magic elixir to end the avalanche of losing. Ntilikina made just his seventh start at point guard as a Knick on Friday in a 109-99 loss to the Nets at Barclays Center, but it came because of a shoulder injury to Emmanuel Mudiay that will put him out two to…
The greatest achievement in David Fizdale’s honeymoon season as Knicks head coach has been keeping locker-room peace amid the losing. Figuring on a titanic spate of defeats, Fizdale predicted during training camp that keeping this unit together would be his No. 1 challenge — and now that feather in his cap is being put to…
Knicks coach David Fizdale continued to bury center Enes Kanter — a move that backfired famously in a 109-99 loss Friday to the Nets at Barclays Center. And in a bizarre postgame press conference, a defensive Fizdale inadvertently buried Tim Hardaway Jr. when he seemed to bring up his whopping salary figure as a factor…
Spencer Dinwiddie triggered Knicks fans earlier this season when he proclaimed the Nets were the better New York City team. He was on the bench in sweats Friday night when his teammates went out and proved him right. Even losing Dinwiddie to a thumb injury couldn’t slow the Nets’ roll as they came from behind…

Rockets’ Harden takes high-scoring show to New York
James Harden is doing something nobody has seen since the heyday of Wilt Chamberlain. The New York Knicks are doing something to which Knicks fans have long grown accustomed.

For Enes Kanter, the Knicks have to be like Cosa Nostra: “Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.”
After being informed this week he won’t play much the rest of the season because he fell in the depth chart, Kanter may start Wednesday’s game against the Rockets.
The reason? Starting…
Get ready for the James Harden show.
The reigning MVP — and favorite to repeat — is invading the Garden on Wednesday on a torrid streak, currently on 20 consecutive games with at least 30 points. Only Wilt Chamberlain did that.
The 29-year-old is also keen on achieving his first “Garden moment,”…
The Rockets’ visit to the Garden on Wednesday was also supposed to be the return of Carmelo Anthony. Instead, the greatest Knick since Patrick Ewing (I know, the list isn’t exactly impressive) is floating around without a team, bouncing around the rumor mill of a league that apparently has little…
Rival teams have inquired about Tim Hardaway Jr. and Courtney Lee, according to Mike Vorkunov of The Athletic, who suggests that the Knicks would be open to moving either player and creating additional 2019 cap flexibility — even if losing Hardaway would make the lottery-bound team even less competitive on a nightly basis. However, league […]
James Harden enters the Garden on Wednesday ready to break the scoreboard against a listless Knicks defense. Harden has scored 200 points his past four games — the first player do to so since Kobe Bryant in March 2007. Harden’s 35.7 scoring average is the league’s best since Michael Jordan’s 37.1 in 1986-87. And now…
As the Knick centers turn, Enes Kanter has gone from fourth string to starter — off one bad turn of an ankle. A disgruntled Kanter, who sounded open to a trade following the MLK Day rout by the Thunder, is expected to start against the Rockets on Wednesday after it was announced starting center Luke…
Paul George posted 31 points on the Knicks on Monday and afterward, Kevin Knox revealed he hopes to workout with the Thunder forward this summer.
Zion Williamson continues to impress at Duke while the Knicks continue to be in position to have a chance at drafting him in June.
Former Knicks F Carmelo Anthony didn’t have the time in Houston he thought he would. It only lasted 10 games before Houston made the call to part ways with the 10-time All-Star.
Knicks’ center Luke Kornet underwent an MRI that confirmed a left ankle sprain with a bone bruise, the team announced on Tuesday. Now, head coach David Fitzdale may start Enes Kanter in his place.
Knicks president Steve Mills and GM Scott Perry have been consistent since last year about the team’s refusal to sacrifice the future for a short-term gain.
Knicks coach David Fizdale told reporters Tuesday that Enes Kanter, who recently complained about a reduced role with the club, will likely start at center while Luke Kornet is sidelined by an ankle injury.
