The Knicks head to Los Angeles to take on an interesting Lakers team. They are not a particularly GOOD team, but hell, at least they’re fun to watch, unlike some of these other recent shitty teams that the Knicks have played (have I mentioned how much I hate the Timberwolves?). Derrick Rose returns tonight, so […]

The Knicks begin a five-game, ten-day (thank goodness for no back-to-backs!) road trip tonight in Sacramento. Sacramento is not particularly good, but the Knicks will be without the services of Derrick Rose tonight. The way that this roster is set up, with Sasha Vujacic as the only other point guard that Jeff Hornacek will give […]
I know people are already writing this one off because Lebron is angry over Phil being a dick, but I really think that the Knicks have a chance tonight. Yes, Lebron will play angry, but who is to say that that means he’ll play better? Lebron gives it his all every time he comes to […]
Big game for the Knickerbockers tonight, as they head to Miami to play a decent but not practically good Miami team ahead of a game the next day against Cleveland. They win tonight, and they will be over .500 no matter what happens in the Cleveland game. So let’s hope that they win tonight. Miami […]
The Knicks continue a nice string of winnable games with tonight’s matchup at home against the Sacramento Kings. The Kings are not a terrible team, but nor are they particularly good. It will be fun to watch Boogie Cousins play, though! Joakim Noah practiced in full today, so I suspect he’ll play. It would be […]
The Knicks host the Timberwolves on the second half of their dumb home and home series (why are these two teams doing a home and home is still beyond me). The Timberwolves lost to the Knicks on Wednesday despite Karl-Anthony Towns playing one of the best games that you would ever see and the Wolves […]
The Knicks travel to Minnesota to take on the Timberwolves in the first game of a home and home with Minnesota. The two games are spread over three games, making the whole thing just really weird. What’s the point? NBA schedules are weird. Like Oklahoma City playing at home, then traveling to New York City […]
Russell Westbrook and the Oklahoma City Thunder come to town tonight. Remember, the Knicks beat the Thunder last year with roughly this same roster (Westbrook there but no Durant) despite Westbrook having a crazy game, so the Knicks should have a very good chance of winning the game tonight. They should be favorites in this […]
It is very difficult for teams to win both ends of a back-to-back/home and home series (provided their opponent isn’t actively tanking – and even there, you’d be surprised at how difficult it is to even beat a tanking team twice in two days), so if the Knicks lose tonight, that won’t really tell us […]
Pulling this completely out of my ass, but I would think that it would have to be beneficial to be the home team in the first game of a home and home series. Doesn’t that just seem like it makes sense? You have the better chance of winning the first game and then you’re playing […]
