From Peter Botte: he cries have been incessant recently, with fans and media wondering when Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau will alter his starting lineup to insert electrifying rookie point guard Immanuel Quickley in place of Elfrid Payton. Payton responded with his best game in several weeks Wednesday night in Chicago, helping propel the Knicks to […]

Okay, the Knicks lost their first game in this odd two game swing to Chicago, but I find it extremely difficult to imagine that Thibs will let the Knicks lose two in a row to his old team. He was apoplectic about their loss on Monday, I imagine his brain would explode if this wasn’t […]
From Marc Berman: Tom Thibodeau isn’t used to losing in Chicago. So no wonder the former Bulls coach looked more hostile than usual Monday night at United Center, lashing out at referees and his players in a dispiriting 110-102 loss to the mediocre Bulls. The Bulls broke a three-game losing streak as Thibodeau’s club fell […]
The Knicks head to Chicago for the first of two games (the COVID-inspired schedule is so weird) to get some measure of revenge for their coach, Tom Thibodeau, as they take on his old team, the Chicago Bulls, where Tom Thibodeau won a lot of games over the years. Given what we know about Thibs, […]
From Peter Botte: The Knicks already had posted several impressive wins this season against some of the NBA’s expected top teams, including Milwaukee, Utah and Boston. A toe-to-toe victory Sunday would have rocked a full Garden from its foundation to the rafters, but the Knicks ran out of steam inside their empty home arena and […]
The Knicks return home after a tough road trip to host the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are having an eerily similar season to the Knicks. Both teams were expected to be awful and yet, so far, both Cleveland and the Knicks have been mediocre more than bad. The Cavs are currently tied for the #6 seed […]
I figure this way, Farfa can do his awesome recaps whenever he gets a chance, but in the meantime, we could have a general recap thread rather than drag out the game thread ad infintum. From Marc Berman at the Post: There was no stopping Utah killer Austin Rivers in the first half Tuesday. The […]
The Knicks head to Utah for a rematch with the Jazz, who have won EIGHT STRAIGHT since losing to the Knicks. So we all know what that means, right? Bad News for the Jazz! Oh wait, shit, that’s the Bad News Bears slogan. Sorry, it means…might as well lose this one! Especially since the Jazz […]
The Knicks head to Portland to take on the Trailblazers who, due to the crazy bunching together in the Western Conference standings, are somehow the current #4 seed despite only having an 8-6 record! The Blazers, of course, are in the news for having TWO players break bones in their body, with both Jusuf Nurkic […]
Coming off of a resounding victory against the Golden State Warriors, the Knicks head to Sacramento to face a sputtering Kings team with an excellent chance to go OVER .500! Hopefully Hali has a shitty game. It’d be swell if Quickley outdid him. Let’s go, get a winning record, Knicks!
