Today is more or less the “make or break” day for the Knicks in their quest to get the #4 seed. They play the Hornets and the Heat later tonight take on the Milwaukee Bucks, who are still in line to possibly get the #2 seed from the Nets (unlikely, but possible). If the Knicks […]

From Marc Berman: These Knicks never stop impressing with their fortitude and resiliency. On their return to the Garden after a six-game, 11-day Western road trip, and with one of their top performers, Derrick Rose, out with a sprained ankle, the Knicks fell behind by 17 points to the Spurs during a third-quarter disaster Thursday. […]
The Knicks head into their last three games of the regular season (but the season period, as they will be playing in the postseason. Woohoo!) with a big homestand. The Miami Heat play the Philadelphia 76ers tonight, and while the Sixers are very close to nailing down the #1 seed in the Eastern Conference, it […]
From Marc Berman: Knicks superfan Spike Lee looked up, at the Staples Center scoreboard, shaking his head, staring at the replay of Wesley Matthews’ putback. Lee couldn’t believe it. Neither could Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau. The Knicks’ playoff-clinching celebration will have to wait. The clincher got away — along with that one lost rebound. In […]
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!
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 […]
