From Marc Berman: The Knicks post-trade-deadline hangover lasted just three quarters before they awoke and ferociously rallied in the fourth quarter for a 106-102 victory over the Wizards at the Garden on Thursday. After a horrendous first half, RJ Barrett carried the comeback with 24 points on a night Julius Randle wasn’t himself. And Alec […]

I truly think that the Knicks are going to play this deadline right this year, but who the fuck knows? We’ll all find out together. So here is a thread for us all to commiserate/celebrate the trade deadline, one of the most intense days of the NBA season.
From Marc Berman: Julius Randle got fined $15,000 by the NBA, then tried to score 15,000 points on the lowly Wizards. Randle took out any lasting referee frustrations on Washington Tuesday at the Garden as he poured in 37 points, making 7 of 10 from 3-point range as the Knicks blew out the Wizards, 131-113. […]
Simply put, if the Knicks are going to have a chance at avoiding the play-in games, they really need to sweep this home and away versus the Wizards. I expect they’ll pull it off. With Derrick Rose now confirming he actually had COVID, who the heck knows what that means for his readiness the rest […]
From Peter Botte: Julius Randle was in no mood to stick around and talk after the Knicks’ second crushing loss to Philadelphia in less than one week. The All-Star forward forced overtime with a 3-pointer near the end of regulation, but he was called for what he thought was a “blown call” and a “f—ing […]
After playing the 76ers very tight in their last game in Philadelphia, the Knicks are lucky that the Sixers are on the second night of a back-to-back and playing without Seth Curry (who burned the Knicks last game) and, of course, their MVP candidate, Joel Embiid. The Knicks, meanwhile, get Immanuel Quickley and Mitchell Robinson […]
From Peter Botte: Tom Thibodeau often lauds his Knicks’ roster for its versatility, with the ability to run their offense through All-Star power forward Julius Randle and veteran guard Alec Burks, if needed. Such a necessity never felt more immediate for the Knicks this season than it did Thursday night, when those two players fronted […]
The Knicks host the Orlando Magic, who are slumping terribly and due to injuries, are missing all of their point guards and the Knicks are also missing all of their point guards, so it is Chasson Randle vs. Frank Ntilikina. This is going to be a hilarious game. Luckily, for all of the Knick injuries, […]
From Marc Berman: Long Island’s Tobias Harris quietly fumed when he was not selected to the NBA All-Star Game after helping the Sixers to the best record in the Eastern Conference. Harris sure looked like he had a strong case Tuesday night. For one night, he took it out on his hometown team that was […]
From Brien Lewis: For the Nets, it was a laugher that ended up as an escape. For the Knicks, it was a comeback that fell short and ended in a tantrum. The red-hot Nets outlasted their cross-river rivals 117-112 in front of 1,637 at Barclays Center on Monday night. It wasn’t simple or easy, but […]
