2026 NBA Playoffs NBA Finals: Knicks vs. Spurs Game 4 – Time to Restore Order

The San Antonio Spurs screwed up the Knicks’ 13-game-winning streak, but that won’t really matter so long as the Knicks pull this one off tonight. A 3-1 lead, with Game 6 back in the Garden as a backup? That would be such a back-breaker that I would truly expect for the Knicks to just take […]

2026 NBA Playoffs NBA Finals: Knicks vs. Spurs Game 3 – Lockdown Time

The Knicks return home with a commanding 2-0 lead in the NBA Finals. There is a lot being said about the fact that no team has ever won the first two games on the road and lost the series. That’s true, but at the same time, it’s only happened TWICE before this season, as most […]

2026 NBA Playoffs NBA Finals: Knicks @ Spurs Game 2 – Time to Step on the Neck, and Apply Pressure

It’s really kind of crazy just how much these series have been similar to each other. This one really reminds you of how the Knicks had a hard-fought win against the Cavaliers in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, and then just leaned on them in Game 2 until the Cavs collapsed, and the […]

2026 NBA Playoffs NBA Finals: Knicks @ Spurs Game 1 – We Are an Impossibility in an Impossible Universe

I’ve been talking so much about how the universe has decided to go out of its way to please me this postseason (and man, has it fucking pleased the shit out of me!), so I thought it only right for me to title this one after a notable Ray Bradbury quote about the universe, which […]

2026 NBA Playoffs Eastern Conference Finals: Knicks @ Cavaliers Game 4 – Sweep or Gentleman’s Sweep?

The Knicks fully devoured the Cavs’ collective souls on Saturday night. Now it’s just a question of whether the Knicks sweep them or not. I’m pretty much assuming that the answer to that is a resounding yes. Let’s go, Knicks! Five more wins to go!

2026 NBA Playoffs Eastern Conference Finals: Knicks @ Cavaliers Game 3 – Lockdown Time

The Knicks head to Cleveland to officially put this series on lockdown. The Knicks will win this series even if they lose tonight, but, well, I mean, come on, you obviously want to win this one so that it would probably become a sweep. Let’s go, Knicks! Only six more wins to go!

2026 NBA Playoffs Eastern Conference Finals: Knicks vs. Cavaliers Game 2 – Time To Step on the Neck and Apply Pressure

The Cavs just epically blew a chance to take a 1-0 lead as a major underdog on the road in the Eastern Conference. It’s the sort of loss that almost always leads to a collapse by the team that chokes. For instance, after Game 1 of the Spurs/Thunder, no one was, like, “Oh, the Thunder […]

2026 NBA Playoffs Eastern Conference Finals: Knicks vs. Cavaliers Game 1 – It’s Still All Happening!

During the 76ers series, I named one of the game threads, “It’s all happening!” as we were seeing, in real time, the Knicks suddenly taking the amazing play they had in the final three games of the Hawks series, and apply it to another team, and just smother the life out of the Sixers. Well, […]

2026 NBA Playoffs Round 2: Knicks vs. 76ers Game 4 – Sweep or Gentlemen’s Sweep?

The Knicks are in Philadelphia this afternoon ready to put the Sixers to pasture for the season. I think that the Knicks would have defeated the Boston Celtics if the two teams had played each other in this round, but holy shit, there’s no way that the Celtics would have been THIS easy to beat.

2026 NBA Playoffs Round 2: Knicks vs. 76ers Game 3 – Time to Make it Academic

If the Knicks take this one, this whole series is basically just academic. So, well, let’s see them do that! Deuce starts in place of OG (who thankfully is taking the game off instead of risking an injury to his hamstring), and Embiid return. Let’s go, Knicks!
