Holy shit! I thought Mitch might make it back for the playoffs, but I was thinking second round for sure (and even there, it wasn’t like I was confident in it happening). If he’s a game-time decision tonight, that means he is actually seriously close to returning. If not tonight, then soon and that would […]

From ESPN.com: Few expected the New York Knicks to make a push for the playoffs, let alone come away with home-court advantage in the first round. Maybe even fewer expected the jump Julius Randle made this season On Tuesday night, Randle was officially awarded for it when he was named the NBA’s 2020-21 Most Improved […]
Heck, I think you could even call it three tiebreakers, since the Knicks won the tiebreaker against the Hawks, with the Knicks getting the #19 pick and the Hawks getting the #20 pick and then the Mavericks won a three way tiebreaker, with the Knicks getting the #21 pick rather than #22 or #23. Magic […]
From Marc Berman: It was as earsplitting as the Garden has been in years, let alone this pandemic season when the building’s been mostly empty. But Hawks point guard Trae Young was louder on Sunday night. He quieted the roar and Atlanta escaped with a 107-105 victory over the Knicks in a Game 1 thriller […]
The Knicks host the Atlanta Hawks as they play in a playoff game for the first time in eight years (interestingly, also the last time that they hosted the first game of a playoff series). One of the concerns about the Knicks was every game being played like Game 7 and the team possibly being […]

We have time to kill, so let me quickly grade the Knicks regular season efforts and you can all chime in with your own grades. Here’s the big rule – A is the highest grade you can get. I hate that, like, “A” “A+” and “A++++” or whatever. This is like the NBA max. Once […]
Okay, I came up with that modified headline. From Marc Berman: Julius Randle raised his arms at the buzzer that ended the game and the regular season after the Knicks survived Sunday like they always seem to do. Bring on Hotlanta! The Knicks finished up their riveting regular season at the Garden on Fan Appreciation […]
After their excellent win against the Hornets yesterday and the Heat’s resounding loss to the Bucks, the Knicks only have to win today to get the #4 seed, home court in the first round of the playoffs and the Atlanta Hawks instead of the Milwaukee Bucks. Luckily, fate had one last piece of magic pixie […]
I added my own headline now that the Bucks won. From Marc Berman: The Knicks still need some assistance to secure the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference, but they continue to do whatever they can to attain the best possible postseason positioning. On Saturday afternoon, the Knicks took care of the first of their […]
