The Knicks host the supporting cast of the Los Angeles Lakers tonight at the Garden with an excellent chance to get over .500. I’m honestly surprised that other NBA teams aren’t protesting tonight over the Daunte Wright shooting.

From Marc Berman: The famous Garden pinwheeled ceiling sprung a leak as rain pounded the roof Sunday night, causing a 14-minute delay. And for an uncharacteristicly long segment of the second half, the Knicks defense sprung a leak, too. After going up by 18 points early in the third quarter, the Knicks couldn’t do a […]
The Knicks host the weird ass Toronto Raptors tonight with a very good chance to both get back to .500 and also let the Raptors know that, seriously, they can just give up already and just properly tank. OG Anunoby (taken 15 picks after Frank Ntilikina) is resting tonight, Fred VanVleet is out, Deandre Bembry […]
From Peter Bolle: If the Knicks plan to make a serious and upward move in the Eastern Conference standings, Friday night’s game began the favorable stretch for them to do so. And their furious comeback in a 133-129 overtime victory over the Grizzlies at the Garden might just serve as the springboard. Leading scorers Julius […]
This is a big game for the Knicks. The Grizzlies aren’t an amazing team, but they’re definitely what I would count as a good team, and thus, this is a perfect opportunity for the Knicks to finally beat a good team. Not counting the Bucks game where the Bucks took a scheduled loss, the Knicks […]
From Marc Berman: These two old rivals could well meet again in the NBA’s one-game, play-in event. Maybe then the slumping Knicks could turn this recent heartbreak into a something joyful. Another defensive slugfest turned bitter and sour at the end as the Celtics rallied from a seven-point fourth-quarter deficit and eked out a 101-99 […]
The Knicks head to Boston with the same record as the Celtics. If they win tonight, they’ll sit alone in 7th place, which would be swell. A battle of two almost .500 clubs. Two teams enter. One leaves with a non-losing record. To paraphrase Elvis (himself covering the Everly Brothers), let it be the Knicks. […]
From Brian Lewis: The Nets lost James Harden — again. But they dug down deep enough to win the game, and a season sweep of the cross-river rival Knicks. Already without Kevin Durant, the Nets saw Harden go down after just four minutes. But Kyrie Irving led a huge comeback, and Jeff Green capped off […]
The Knicks head to Brooklyn to take on their borough rivals, the Brooklyn Nets, with the Nets having already lost to the Chicago Bulls last night and playing without Blake Griffin (who sits the second night of back-to-backs), so this could be quite the opportunity for the Knicks to have a statement game, with their […]
From Greg Joyce: The Knicks struggled with blowing leads during the three-game losing streak they lugged into Detroit on Saturday night. This time, however, they were able to quickly build such an insurmountable advantage that coach Tom Thibodeau even let Julius Randle rest for the entire fourth quarter. Randle had come out on fire and […]
