So, the Knicks held off on naming their starting lineup for tonight’s game until practically right before game time and…well…it was a doozy. To quote bobneptune from this morning, when the rumor was that they were going to start Alonzo Trier in the backcourt with RJ Barrett and also start Bobby Portis at center, he […]

I figured we should get up a thread for this relatively big news. From Marc Berman: The Knicks on Monday picked up the fourth-year options on point guards Frank Ntilikina ($6.3 million) and Dennis Smith Jr. ($5.6 million) for the 2020-21 season. They also picked up the third-year 2020-21 option on Kevin Knox. The Post […]
Okay folks, it’s that time of year again! How many wins do you think that the Knicks will win this season? I’m going to stick with my go-to answer of “Whatever the worst amount of wins would be,” so I’m going with 36. Not enough to make the playoffs, but too much to trade any […]
The Zion-less Pelicans come to New York for the final preseason game. The problem I’m having with the preseason is that I don’t even know if the guys they’re playing in the preseason matter one way or the other. So what does any of it really matter? Don’t get me wrong, if you’ve been here […]
Ian Begley with some tea: Fizdale cautioned not too overvalue his starting lineup on opening night. He will tweak minutes and roles based on performance. “(Lineups) are not set in stone just because we’re getting out of preseason,” the coach said. “That thing can always be a revolving door because these guys are so competitive.

This should be a fun one, with Barrett facing his old Duke teammate, Cam Reddish. It’ll be interesting to see Reddish in action. Dennis Smith Jr. will play tonight, so let’s see if he can make a case for being the team’s starting point guard or Fizdale might just institute a “whoever gets the rebound […]
We’re back online and the Knicks are back to playing basketball, with their second preseason game against the same terrible team they beat in their first preaseason game! Let’s see MSG show some love for RJ Barrett, Mitch and the other guys!
Ian Begley was one of the very few Knicks beat writers to actually have a game recap of the Knicks’ preseason debut : MORRIS EJECTED: Marcus Morris was ejected 13 seconds into the second half for doing something you don’t see often. First, he appeared to hit Justin Anderson, his defender, with an elbow when […]
Outside of Carmelo Anthony, Bernard King is really the last time that the Knicks had a young wing with as much promise as RJ Barrett (and King wasn’t even that young, as he was 26 by the time he joined the Knicks, but guys obviously entered the league later back in those days), so I […]
I thought Mills and Perry were fairly embarrassing on Media Day, and I really don’t want to harp on it, so I choose instead to spotlight a Knick who had a really good Media Day, namely Marcus Morris. From Stefan Bondy: Marcus Morris is a bit of an oddity on the Knicks active roster in […]
