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 […]
Tonight is a very interesting game as the Knicks try to get to .500 on the season. The Portland Trailblazers are a lot like the Knicks so far, middling offenses but with terrible defenses. The Trailblazers are actually at the very bottom of the NBA in defensive efficiency right now. So, playing at home, the […]
The Knicks host the Hawks in another one of those weird noon games that nobody likes playing. Hopefully the Hawks went out partying in New York City last night (although after what happened to Thabo Sefolosha last year, perhaps they would be a bit wary of partying in New York City) and that the early […]
Sorry, folks, thought this was a 7:30 PM start! The Knicks have to win this game, as the Wizards have been downright awful this season. Let’s go, Knicks!
The Knicks take on the Detroit Pistons tonight at the Garden. The Pistons are awful on the road and they have awful guards, so the Knicks really need to win this one at home. Let’s go, Knicks!
