This Rafael Canton piece isn’t exactly reinventing the wheel, but hey, he’s talking about the Knicks, and that’s what we’re all sort of desperate for, right? I figure that I’ll just post his five things and you can read the above piece to see his explanations and I guess everyone here can share the five […]

Okay, that is not the actual headline, but I think that we all know that that was implied. France has defeated Team USA 89-79 in a FIBA World Cup quarterfinal game at Dongguan, China. The loss ends Team USA’s 58-game winning streak in international tournaments with NBA players on the roster. Their last loss was […]
It has been 18 years since 9/11 and the Knicks, as you might imagine, have honored the victims of the tragic terrorist attack many times in the years since. I thought I would share some memories of 9/11 from Mark Jackson, who was in his second season of his return to the Knicks at the […]
I don’t know, man, I don’t even want to share it, but there’s so little Knicks news out there, that I guess I have to go with some Enes Kanter nonsense, as quoted by Yahoo! Sports’ Ryan Young: “Not many people know that, but players talk. From different teams, they talk,” Kanter said on Bleacher Report’s […]
Marc Berman writes about Frank Ntilikina’s FIBA adventures so far… Frank Ntilikina is finally fulfilling his potential. Of course, it’s just in China at the FIBA World Cup with the French national team against the likes of Germany, Jordan and the Dominican Republic. But it’s a start, at least, as the Knicks’ 2017 lottery pick […]
Stefan Bondy actually talks about the Knicks a bit: It’s hard to blame the Knicks for going radio silent since free agency. Sometimes it’s easier to avoid the uncomfortable questions. But frankly, the team’s new strategy, whatever it is, requires some explaining. It certainly puts coach David Fizdale in a difficult situation. The Knicks had […]
Ian Begley continues his fine work at SNY with a great Q&A with Julius Randle. Some choice quotes… Speaking on Mitchell Robinson: Bobby Portis said in an interview with the New York Post that he expects to come off the bench behind Robinson this season. So Randle should play alongside Robinson regularly this season. He’s looking […]
Brian Lewis at the Post brings up an interesting point regarding the Knicks’ promotion of their G-League coach to a position on David Fizdale’s coaching staff (replacing Howard Eisley, who went to go join Juwan Howard’s coaching staff in Michigan). He notes, : Miller — not to be confused with the sharpshooting former NBA champ […]
Ian Begley continues his fine work at his new digs with a quick interview with Mitchell Robinson and Allonzo Trier about the upcoming season at the NBA Rookie Development Program. Trier talked about shooting more threes and Robinson discussed his recurring foul trouble, noting, “I slide my feet more than I did (at the beginning […]
David Aldridge did his “offseason rankings” of all of the NBA teams at TheAthletic (subscription required and recommended). Aldridge is very much an “old school” guy when it comes to evaluating teams, but he’s also been around the block so long that it is still somewhat interesting to hear his thoughts (and I’d prefer there […]
