2016-17 Game Thread: Knicks @ Bucks

The Knicks barely lost to the Bucks without Kristaps Porzingis and they will have Kristaps Porzingis back tonight, so this could easily be a win. The Bucks are a good match for the Knicks, defensively, since the Bucks don’t shoot threes very well (and they don’t shoot three period, really). As a mediocre team, the […]

2016-17 Game Thread: Knicks vs. Bucks

The Knicks host the Milwaukee Bucks tonight in a game that they desperately need to win. However, they will be playing without Kristaps Porzingis for the third game in a row and the Bucks have a guy who the Knicks match up poorly with defensively in Giannis Antetokounmpo. To be fair, most of the NBA […]

2016-17 Game Thread: Knicks vs. Magic

This is a big game for the Knicks, as they host the Orlando Magic without Kristaps Porzingis (I don’t like him missing multiple games with a mystery Achilles injury. How has he not had an MRI yet?!?). However, Courtney Lee, Kyle O’Quinn and Carmelo Anthony are all playing tonight, so the Knicks really: A. need […]

2016-17 Game Thread: Knicks @ Rockets

Happy New Year’s Eve, everyone! The Knicks head to Houston tonight to end 2016 with a tough matchup against the Rockets. This is a very difficult test for the Knicks, made even more difficult with KP, Lee and O’Quinn missing tonight’s game, and I would hate to see them enter the New Year with a […]

2016-17 Game Thread: Knicks @ Pelicans

The Knicks are in New Orleans tonight to face Anthony Davis and the New Orleans Pelicans. The Pelicans are not particularly good, but nor are they especially bad. They’re sort of in that middle ground with teams like the Hawks, Pistons and Bulls. So you’d like to see the Knicks beat the Pelicans, but this […]

2016-17 Game Thread: Knicks @ Hawks

After the top two teams in the Eastern Conference, the rest of the conference is a shocking mass of mediocrity from #3 to #12. However, despite the parity between these teams, two of these teams will get home court advantage in the playoffs. One of these teams will get home court advantage in the playoffs […]

2016-17 Game Thread: Knicks vs. Celtics

Merry Christmas, everyone! The Knicks host the Celtics this afternoon in a big game. If they win this one, the Knicks will actually become tied for the #3 seed in the entire Eastern Conference and ahead of the Celtics! How awesome would that be? Let’s hope that they give us all a fun Christmas present […]

2016-17 Game Thread: Knicks vs. Magic

The Knicks continue their little homestand here leading up to their Christmas Day game against the Boston Celtics by hosting the Orlando Magic. The Magic are sort of like the reverse Knicks. They’re really good on defense but awful on offense. I think in matchups like that, I tend to think that the offensive team […]

2016-17 Game Thread: Knicks vs. Pacers

Oops, I thought that this game was at 8pm. My bad! Anyhow, the Knicks host the Indiana Pacers in a big game in terms of keeping them in the top half of the Eastern Conference playoff picture. Derrick Rose is back, which is big. Every game up until (and including) Christmas, I’ll share a bit […]

2016-17 Game Thread: Knicks @ Nuggets

The Knicks finish their road trip tonight with a visit to Denver to take on the Denver Nuggets, Carmelo Anthony’s old team. Melo will play tonight, so let’s hope that he has a good game in his old stomping grounds. The Knicks are 2-2 on this road trip, so it sure would be swell to […]
