Ah, the truest sign that time is actually passing, we have another “How Many Wins Will the Knicks have?” prediction thread, a Knickerblogger tradition as valued as never being willing to kick anything to the curb or wondering whether the true responsibility for a player making a bad play is held by the player who […]

From Zach Braziller: Austin Rivers talked a big game about playing for his father’s former team, saying he wanted to be part of something special and make the franchise “great again.” Unfortunately for the combo guard, he has so far been very limited in that endeavor, and seems likely to miss the early part of […]
From Marc Berman: After working with his trainer in Southern California, Barrett said he’s tinkered with shot technique, moving his right hand more to the side of the ball to get a more fluid release. “I was working with Drew Hanlen over the summer, we changed it up a little bit, tweaked a couple of […]
From Peter Botte: Nerlens Noel, part of the Knicks’ ever-expanding Kentucky connection, started the first two preseason games at center before sitting out the next two with a sore left knee. Mitchell Robinson said earlier in camp that he doesn’t mind coming off the bench, but the third-year big man moved into the starting lineup […]
The Knicks are missing Noel, Frank, Payton, Smith Jr., Rivers and Burks tonight. So that means that Immanuel Quickley will be starting for the Knicks. We presumably will be seeing some of the #15-20 guys, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Thibs is, like, “Nope, I’d rather just play Quickley 40 minutes and Randle will […]
Back at the Garden! Mitch is also back in the starting lineup, which Thibs says was happening even before Noel got hurt (which just makes Noel starting over Mitch make even less sense). Burks is out tonight due to personal reasons, so Bullock is starting at the 2. No Frank, Rivers or Noel, so we […]
From Alex Smith: The Knicks have gone into the last few NBA offseasons with their hopes set on bringing a big-name to Star to New York. Unfortunately, though, bringing that big star to the Big Apple just hasn’t yet materialized. Still, Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau said on Tuesday that he knows the importance of […]
Game 2 of the preseason! Thibs, annoyingly, is sticking with his starting lineup from the first game. Here’s to hoping that we see Quickley tonight!
It’s the first preseason game and already not a great sign. 1. Elfrid Payton 2. Alec Burks 3. RJ Barrett 4. Julius Randle 5. Nerlens Noel But hey, at least RJ’s at the 3. That’s something. But yeah, Thibs, get over yourself, dude. Let’s go, Knicks!
Not a whole lot of news, so this is what we’ve got. From Stefan Bondy: Just based on the number of openings, the Knicks have a greater chance this season at competing for a playoff spot. And Tom Thibodeau hopes his club takes advantage of the new format. The league has adopted the play-in structure […]
