Come on, it is a shitty Timberwolves team and a chance to Thibs to get revenge on a team that he thinks screwed him over? Can you possibly imagine Thibs letting them lose this one? The Knicks will win if only to prevent Thibs from having a vein pop in his forehead. It’d be nice […]

From Marc Berman: Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau said during the NBA Finals last October he’d like to build a gritty defensive culture like Pat Riley’s Miami Heat. Thibodeau has done an excellent job at trying to get there, but his Knicks still can’t beat the Heat. Their three-game winning streak snapped, the Knicks allowed Miami […]
The Knicks host the Heat as the ‘Bockers try to make a statement against one of their playoff rivals at the Garden by beating the Heat. The Heat should have Victor Oladipo healthy tonight. Let’s hope that he shoots a lot. The Knicks have Julius Randle back tonight, which is big, as they are definitely […]
From Peter Botte: The Knicks were not the most depleted team on the floor Saturday night in Milwaukee, but the injury news grew worse for them as the night progressed. Already playing without All-Star forward Julius Randle, the Knicks lost starting center Mitchell Robinson for an extended period for a second time this season. Robinson […]
We have seen earlier this season that some of the top NBA teams are basically just taking schedule losses where they find reasons to rest all of their top guys and luckily for the Knicks, that’s precisely what the Bucks are doing tonight, finding “injuries” for almost their entire rotation, including four of their five […]
From Marc Berman: The Knicks post-trade-deadline hangover lasted just three quarters before they awoke and ferociously rallied in the fourth quarter for a 106-102 victory over the Wizards at the Garden on Thursday. After a horrendous first half, RJ Barrett carried the comeback with 24 points on a night Julius Randle wasn’t himself. And Alec […]
I truly think that the Knicks are going to play this deadline right this year, but who the fuck knows? We’ll all find out together. So here is a thread for us all to commiserate/celebrate the trade deadline, one of the most intense days of the NBA season.
From Marc Berman: Julius Randle got fined $15,000 by the NBA, then tried to score 15,000 points on the lowly Wizards. Randle took out any lasting referee frustrations on Washington Tuesday at the Garden as he poured in 37 points, making 7 of 10 from 3-point range as the Knicks blew out the Wizards, 131-113. […]
Simply put, if the Knicks are going to have a chance at avoiding the play-in games, they really need to sweep this home and away versus the Wizards. I expect they’ll pull it off. With Derrick Rose now confirming he actually had COVID, who the heck knows what that means for his readiness the rest […]
From Peter Botte: Julius Randle was in no mood to stick around and talk after the Knicks’ second crushing loss to Philadelphia in less than one week. The All-Star forward forced overtime with a 3-pointer near the end of regulation, but he was called for what he thought was a “blown call” and a “f—ing […]
