The report is: Rose (COVID-19 protocols) will not play Thursday against the Bucks. Rose missed the Knicks’ final two games prior to the All-Star break due to the league’s health and safety protocols, and he’ll be sidelined once again Thursday. Immanuel Quickley and Frank Ntilikina should continue to see increased run in his absence. Odd. […]

From Yaron Weitzman (not a Knick beat guy, interestingly, so it’s almost a certainy that someone in the Knicks front office approached him to do a story on the Knicks. That’s not inherently a bad thing, of course, it’s just interesting): Aller, Thibodeau and Wesley each boast different skills. Wesley’s the relationships guy. Aller’s all about […]
From Marc Berman: Tom Thibodeau soared into the All-Star break smiling and owning a winning record. The Knicks whipped the Pistons, 114-104, Thursday to enter the All-Star break on an 8-3 spree, a 19-18 record overall and in fifth place in the Eastern Conference.

And now the news is that the Pistons’ best player, Jerami Grant (which, of course, says a lot about the Pistons) will miss tonight’s game. Derrick Rose, despite a few […]
From Marc Berman: The Knicks were without Derrick Rose — and a pulse. This pandemic season finally crushed the Knicks on Tuesday, with Rose’s COVID-19-related absence demonstrating how a player can go from invisible to prominent in an eye-blink. Just a week ago, Frank Ntilikina hadn’t played since late December — felled by a knee […]
The Knicks travel to San Anyonio to take on the Spurs, in a good test of their recent strong play. Luckily, the Spurs lost an overtime game last night, so hopefully they are tired. Rose is out due to COVID protocols, so Frank is starting. Good for him. This would be a huge win. Let’s […]
From Marc Berman: Julius Randle became an All-Star last week. He became a winner Sunday in Detroit. After six previous seasons being part of losing teams, Randle has spearheaded the Knicks to a winning record — achieved Sunday with a 109-90 rout of the Pistons at Little Caesars Arena. The Knicks moved to 18-17 and […]
