The Knicks head to Boston for an early afternoon butt-whooping of their closest rival in the NBA Eastern Conference.
The New York Knicks haven’t won the Atlantic Division in, well, let’s just say that it has been FAR too long since they’ve last won the Atlantic Division. They’ve been the #2 overall seed in the Eastern Conference recently, and yet still not won their division, so this year is a PERFECT opportunity to just win the fucking division already, and the stupid Celtics are in their way.
So this would be a great new opportunity for a statement win.
Let’s go, Knicks!
Winning eight made 58 feel still kind of great!

Damn just read KAT needed 16 stitches and is wearing goggles today. OG being out sucks but should be fun seeing Alvarado making his Knicks debut. Shamet starting.
OG is in some ways our most indispensable player. Not optimisitc about this game.
The good news is that I have finished my 4-week sobriety streak, so either way, I will be in fine form!
nice work z-man…
so cool when one day turns to one week turns to one month…keep it rolling sir…
Maybe the goggles will help KAT find his inner Kareem?
Whatever happens, Bad Bunny.
watching the above the rim broadcast on espn unlimited, tyler was just spending some time with jose talking about some stuff…
come on down mister alvarado, this is your life…
jalen is in jose’s ear now…jose must be so jacked right now, let’s go…
Chance for valuable experience for Mo D and ( perhaps) Kevin Mc
Yes! Early start makes for live viewing in Europe. Go Knicks. Go Jose!
Hauser out, he usually kills us so that helps!
jose: whatcha want me to do
jalen: play your game, you’ll see
reminds me me of mitch before the season: just got to go out there and ball…
very cool, from what I can tell, jalen, josh and mikal all finished their degrees at villanova…
josh awkward layup clinic
Wait. The Knicks cut to the basket now? Haha.
what a play by mikal. kat is hurting us on defense.
Mazulla should be coach of the year winning with this lineup…
What a fucking pass by Bridges!
Bridges joining the awkward layup clinic but I love it. What a great cut with Shamet under pressure.
Bridges everything everywhere all at once with hot dog fingers
playing rugby out there, c’mon refs…
maybe the most homer thing eva to say – BUTT, sure feels like the refs hose us with the whistle…
good question pepper, who are today’s best nba coaches?
seems like more good young ones than the old guys like spo, carlisle and kerr…
starting to wonder if clarkson may be here for the whole year…
Diawara firmly in the circle of trust at 20 and green as grass.
Kool Mo D being able to contribute at all against high-level competition is probably my personal biggest surprise of the season.
So far so good on all other fronts, Mitch looks much better than he did against Detroit.
what, are you all being more conscientious family members, friends, and partners – more posting please 😜
started to feel like raz from back in the day: where the hell did everyone go?
Daily reminder of how bad NBA refs have become.
kool mo d seems to at least try to communicate well on defense during the initial offensive push…
not much of a rebounder though, yet…
Speaking of where’d everyone go….anybody know what happened to Max?
ISM having a hell of a day so far
Agree on Mo. crazy he seems like he can contribute.
Yeah…this is another abysmal display of refereeing
Doesn’t help if we can’t grab defensive rebs…
lol no one has looked as lost as alvarado since pre gps
Mitch!
Great quarter! Gritty!!
agree that mia max is a massive hole in the rotation
First quarter offense clicking, defense has energy but not always smart. Boston missed a lot of good shots and had plenty of drives to the paint.
I don’t like the way JB is treated at all. He gets one whistle in every four or five fouls. This happens pretty much every game. The Knicks have to say something to the league about that.
hmmmmm, friend to all cats everywhere – knew your nicks(?) probably frightful that all us sites have become palantir’d…probably correct…
i mean wtf is kat doing with that drop there
mo with the thurl bailey push hook
wow, mo is becoming very decisive…
“The Knicks are running an offensive clinic today,” has not been said by an announcer since …
I just cannot stand the voice of Stan Van Gundy. It’s not quite as bad as “I want to choke my coach” PJ Carlisimo, but it’s at least 50% of the way there.
Jose taking one for the team….
There’s that pesky Alvarado defense.
Also — welcome (back) to NYC Grand Theft Alvarado!
The Alvarado flop was a make up call for the initial push off, so no one should feel bad about it
Shut up Stan van fuckface
The Alvarado flop was a make up call for the initial push off, so no one should feel bad about it
Manhattan makes, Brooklyn takes!
Mazulla is whining to the refs about the whistles….gotta be kidding me
idk stan maybe the difference is that only one of them elbowed the defender in the chin
That’s not SVG on the broadcast that’s PJ Carlesimo.
Considering how blatant a miss of a call that was on Brunson getting fouled on a 3, I’ll take that.
Refs, per usual, are atrocious
Is PJ drunk or something? The difference is the elbow to the face
Loving the grit we are playing with. Mo is making a major difference on both ends.
thanks bba, that actually make a lot more sense
Is it in the CBA that Jalen brown can push off on every mid-range shot?
Bridges playing a great game so far.
Bad stretch. Kinda started by Josh being called for that 3rd foul, he needs to be more heady than to reach in off-ball there when he already has two…
As usual transition defense killing the Knicks.
That floater by Brunson looked more like a lob attempt.
somehow, pj has even less humor in him than stan…
Here comes the pussy Celtics doing hack a Mitch.
we’ll always have those ten in a row
This is worse to watch than Utah tanking the 4th quarter.
I don’t mind the intentional fouling so much, let’s figure it out now before the playoffs…
especially in the first half of games…
Watching Mitch try to shoot free throws feels like eavesdropping on someone’s therapy appointment
Reminder that hacking Mitch means “I’m begging you to put KAT back in.”
Mo D leveling up!!
boston has taken our rebounding out of the game…
he ain’t your average joe folks…
Kool Mo 3
mo is such a shockingly confident shooter
Mo showing it all.
is mo getting a little tired?
