The Knicks head to Indiana where they pretty much have to make a stand, hence the title of this post. Six teams have made 0-2 comebacks, so it CAN be done, but it has to start now. Let’s go, Knicks! 8 more wins to go! The Dylan tune is “They Killed Him,” a super-cheesy song […]

As you might have heard, the New York Knicks had a bit of a difficult time with the Indiana Pacers in Game 1 of this series, having one of the worst collapses in NBA playoff history. Luckily, a fun thing about sports is that you get to go back and play another one two days […]
It is a Game 1. Of the Eastern Conference Finals. And the Knicks are in the game. And the game is at the Knicks’ home court. How fucking cool is that? Let’s take a moment to first appreciate how fucking awesome it is for the team that we root for to be hosting Game 1 […]
Come on, how is this a 7pm game? Anyhow, let’s just get this done. Let’s go, Knicks! 9 wins left to go! The Dylan tune is “I’ll Be Your Baby Tonight.”
The Knicks host the Boston Celtics for what now becomes the biggest game of the Knicks’ season, as a win here would put the Knicks in extremely good shape to win the series, while a loss…well, it would not put them in a particularly good position to win the series. In Game 3, the Celtics’ […]

Well, you all know what I had to say about the first game, and the Knicks did exactly what I hoped that they would, and turned around the narrative. So now the aura of inevitability is completely gone from the Celtics, but there is still that sense that the Knicks got “lucky” in Game 1, […]
So, here’s the thing. Narratives are only written after the game. I remember in 2002, the St. Louis Cardinals dealt with the tragic loss of pitcher Darryl Kile, who died of a heart attack midseason. It was obviously a major shock, but then Kile became a rallying cry for the team. When they clinched the […]
The Knicks head to Detroit to hopefully avoid having to go back to MSG for a Game 7 on Saturday. The Pistons have lost both games in Detroit in this series, so that hopefully bodes well for the Knicks. All of the Knicks injured players are going to play, which is good news. Isaiah Stewart […]
After the Knicks tore the heart of the Pistons at the end of Game 4 in Detroit, it’s now really a question of when and not whether the Knicks take these upstarts down, and I hope the answer to that question is, “Tonight,” and I imagine that it will be tonight. Let’s go, Knicks! Just […]
