From Yaron Weitzman (not a Knick beat guy, interestingly, so it’s almost a certainy that someone in the Knicks front office approached him to do a story on the Knicks. That’s not inherently a bad thing, of course, it’s just interesting): Aller, Thibodeau and Wesley each boast different skills. Wesley’s the relationships guy. Aller’s all about […]

From Marc Berman: Tom Thibodeau soared into the All-Star break smiling and owning a winning record. The Knicks whipped the Pistons, 114-104, Thursday to enter the All-Star break on an 8-3 spree, a 19-18 record overall and in fifth place in the Eastern Conference. The Knicks haven’t owned a winning record this late in a […]
The Knicks host the Detroit Pistons in their final game before the All-Star break with a chance to go over .500 ahead of the break. And now the news is that the Pistons’ best player, Jerami Grant (which, of course, says a lot about the Pistons) will miss tonight’s game. Derrick Rose, despite a few […]
From Marc Berman: The Knicks were without Derrick Rose — and a pulse. This pandemic season finally crushed the Knicks on Tuesday, with Rose’s COVID-19-related absence demonstrating how a player can go from invisible to prominent in an eye-blink. Just a week ago, Frank Ntilikina hadn’t played since late December — felled by a knee […]
The Knicks travel to San Anyonio to take on the Spurs, in a good test of their recent strong play. Luckily, the Spurs lost an overtime game last night, so hopefully they are tired. Rose is out due to COVID protocols, so Frank is starting. Good for him. This would be a huge win. Let’s […]
From Marc Berman: Julius Randle became an All-Star last week. He became a winner Sunday in Detroit. After six previous seasons being part of losing teams, Randle has spearheaded the Knicks to a winning record — achieved Sunday with a 109-90 rout of the Pistons at Little Caesars Arena. The Knicks moved to 18-17 and […]
The Knicks have an amazing opportunity tonight to actually have a winning record, which would put them at their best record through 35 games since the 2012-13 season (the 2015-16 Knicks actually got to 22-22 after 44 games, which is the last time the Knicks were .500 that late in a season, but that team […]
From Peter Botte: Twice in the previous 10 days, the Knicks had wasted opportunities to push their record to the .500 mark in unsightly losses to the Magic and the Warriors. They appeared headed for another blown chance to even their record and move up in the murky Eastern Conference on Saturday night. Coach Tom […]
The Knicks host the Pacers tonight with a real chance to get to .500 on the season, which would be the latest the Knicks have been at .500 in a season since the 2016-17 season, so that would be cool! Not only that, but it would put the Knicks up on the Pacers in the […]
From Marc Berman: The “We Want Quickley’’ chant began late in the first quarter when Sacramento was putting together a rare run. With 2:44 left in the quarter, Immanuel Quickley was inserted into the game and he didn’t disappoint the second giddy Garden gathering of the season. In sparking the Knicks with 18 first-half points, […]
