I legit still don’t know how to spell Thibodeau without looking. Anyhow, wow, in an upset victory over former Knick Monty Williams, Thibs edged out a win in the Coach of the Year voting through Williams inexplicably only appearing in the top two on 77 of the 100 ballots, while Thibs appeared in the top […]

From the great Ian Begley: The offseason is here, so here’s a look at a few options at point guard for the Knicks and a few things they may consider as they approach the position during free agency: HOW DOES DERRICK ROSE FACTOR IN? As noted last month, some teams keeping an eye on the […]
The Knicks have been sent “on vacation,’’ as Hawks center Clint Capela promised. The Knicks weaved a wonderful 41-31 regular season, but the Hawks proved it to be an inflated ledger in taking them out in five. Atlanta outclassed the Knicks all series, eliminating them with a 103-89 victory Wednesday at the Garden in Game […]
The Knicks host the Atlanta Hawks at the Garden tonight to avoid being eliminated in five games by the Hawks. Or, in other words… In all seriousness, it’s not like coming back from a 3-1 deficit when you’re not totally overwhelmed by the other team is impossible or anything like that. The Knicks could very […]
From Marc Berman: The Knicks’ fairytale season is nearly over. Tom Thibodeau’s Knicks were a terrific-regular season team, but their flaws have been revealed during this depressing first-round series against the Hawks. Julius Randle was a little better and RJ Barrett was a lot better, but neither was nearly enough to stifle Atlanta’s weaponry. The […]
The Knicks try to even up their playoff series against the Hawks in Game 4 in Atlanta, after a disappointing blowout loss to the Hawks where Atlanta maintained a double-digit lead for pretty much the entire second half of the game (every time the Knicks seemed poised to cut it to single digits, the Knicks […]
From Marc Berman: Tom Thibodeau can change the Knicks’ starting point guard, but he can’t change what his team has been built around this season: Julius Randle and RJ Barrett as a dynamic 1-2 punch. In their playoff debuts, however, the pair have been duds, and now the Knicks are facing a dose of reality […]
Derrick Rose and Taj Gibson, who have been the keys to the Knicks in the playoffs so far, will move into the starting lineup tonight as the Knicks headed to Atlanta for Game 3 against the Hawks! Great job by Thibs adjusting. Hopefully Rose gets Randle heavily involved right away. It’s all happening, people! Let’s […]
From Marc Berman: Trailing 1-0 in the first-round series, the Knicks were down 15 points late in the second quarter Wednesday night in Game 2. Julius Randle was horrendous again, and Trae Young, Atlanta’s superstar point guard, was soaring in the face of the Garden’s derogatory chants. But it all changed dramatically in the second […]
After Trae Young sliced and diced the Knicks up in Game 1, including hitting the game-winning shot, the Mayor suggested (for some reason) that Young should stop “hunting for fouls” and “play the game the right way.” It’s nonsense, of course, but hey, feel free to follow the Mayor’s advice tonight, Trae! The newly minted […]
