The Basketball Gods Must Be Crazy – The Knicks Got the #4 Pick

We’ll have more coverage of this Wednesday morning by everyone’s friend, David Crockett, but it just occurred to me that we probably should have a quick thread on the event itself – the Knicks falling to the #4 slot in the NBA Draft, the only team in the entire draft to fall from their scheduled […]

If the Basketball Gods are Willing and the Creek Don’t Rise: The 2015 NBA Lottery Live Thread

The Knicks enter tonight’s lottery (8:30 PM Eastern on ESPN) with a question begging to be answered – “Do the basketball gods love Phil Jackson more than they hate James Dolan?” Phil Jackson has lived a charmed life in the NBA. He won two titles as a player, then won six titles with Michael Jordan, […]

2014-15 Game Thread: Knicks vs. Pistons

Well, here we are. I was terrified of this game back when I thought a win here would only possibly end up with the Knicks tied with the Timberwolves. Instead, winning this game will very likely result in the Knicks tied with the Philadelphia 76ers for the second worst record in the NBA, resulting in […]

2014-15 Game Thread: Knicks @ Hawks

It’s 2015. Everyone has access to the internet. So when the Associated Press goes out of their way to write: New York has the inside track to the most ping-pong balls in the lottery since the tiebreaker with the Timberwolves goes in the Knicks’ favor if they finish the season tied. then that is not […]

2014-15 Game Thread: Knicks @ Magic – Commence Freaking Out Now

The Knicks are up 12 as we come close to halftime. Commence freaking out now at how this team is screwing itself over. Who here seriously doesn’t see two more wins a possibility this season? This team…this freaking team…

2014-15 Game Thread: Knicks vs. Pacers

We’re getting to some very stressful times for these last five games of the season. If the Knicks can just lose out, they are guaranteed the worst record in the league. Not even Minneosta’s finely tuned tanking machine can pass the Knicks if the Knicks just lose these last five games. What, though, about Knick […]

2014-15 Game Thread: Knicks vs. Sixers: Tankageddon 2015

This game is very important not because the Sixers can really catch the Knicks, but because the Sixers are by far the worst team the Knicks play the rest of the year. So if the Knicks can somehow manage to lose to the Sixers, then they should be in good shape to get the worst […]

2014-15 Game Thread: Knicks @ Bulls

I think it is very fair if everyone would prefer to watch the Kentucky game and see the player we hope that the Knicks can end up with instead of this nonsense. The Bulls seem to often play down to their competition, so this could be a bit scary. Let’s go? Knicks!

2014-15 Game Thread: Knicks vs. Clippers

The Sixers almost won a game last night and the Timberwolves actually did win the other night. So the other teams in the “Race” for the bottom of the standings are doing their part – the Knicks have to keep doing their part. Let’s go? Knicks!

2014-15 Game Thread: Timberwolves vs. Knicks

These next two games against Minnesota and Philadelphia might make or break the Knicks’ season. A quick word, though, on tiebreakers when it comes to the lottery. Ties are not broken the traditional way. If the Knicks end the season tied with either Minnesota or Philadelphia for the worst record, the two teams would then […]
