No Lebron, so there is a very good chance that the Knicks can sweep the L.A. teams and sing, “I love L.A.!” Let’s hope that they can pull this off! Let’s go, get that that #4 seed, Knicks!
Month: May 2021
From Marc Berman: The Knicks usually struggle when Julius Randle struggles. But not when Derrick Rose plays like an MVP — and not when they get 3-point marksmanship from Reggie Bullock. In the final regular-season home game for the Clippers, the Knicks spoiled the Sunday-matinee party with a resounding and sensational 106-100 victory before 2,578 […]
From Marc Berman: This was the first time all pandemic season the Knicks played in front of a real, live, half-packed, hostile crowd. They didn’t handle it well. They blew a seven-point lead late in the third quarter. Taj Gibson and Julius Randle later lost their composure. And the powerhouse Suns routed the Knicks, 128-105, […]
The Knicks head to Phoenix, where the Hawks kicked the Suns’ ass, so the Knicks really need to do the same. A win here guarantees at least a 3-3 road trip, which would pretty much assure them of avoiding the play-in game (they already have really good odds of avoiding the play-in game). Come on, […]
From Marc Berman: With all due respect, the Knicks saw what a true-blue MVP candidate looked like. The Knicks didn’t do much in Denver on Wednesday other than to put the unofficial crown on Nuggets’ center Nikola Jokic as the NBA’s next MVP in getting routed 113-97 at Ball Arena. The Knicks (37-29) haven’t won […]
The Knicks made a major statement in the second game of this nominally difficult west coast road trip by stomping the Memphis Grizzlies, and so they now come into Denver on fire, especially Derick Rose, who is on a hot streak we haven’t seen from him in, like, nine years! Julius Randle was dominant, as […]
From Marc Berman: It was a hot and humid May afternoon in Memphis. But at night, nothing is hotter than the Knicks. The Knicks didn’t have their starting center Nerlens Noel, and Alec Burks was making a return from a long COVID-19 absence, but the Knicks’ freight train rolled a season-high 44-point second quarter en […]
The Knicks’ recent stunning string of success really started with their amazing comeback against the Memphis Grizzlies, where the Grizzlies choked like crazy in the fourth quarter and the Knicks capitalized with some amazing clutch shots. That set them on an amazing hot streak that pretty much continues to this day. Since then, the Grizzlies […]
From Marc Berman: There’s something about his home state of Texas that brings out the very best in Julius Randle. After ransacking Dallas for 44 points last month, Randle kicked off May with 31 points in 30 minutes in punishing chatty Houston as the Knicks began their six-game Western trip with a 122-97 whitewashing of […]
Thank goodness it starts with the Rockets. Let’s go start the road trip right, Knicks!
