2023-24 Game Thread: Knicks @ Thunder (Weird Road Trip Opener, Not Really a Thing)

This is a weird little road trip here, right? One Western Conference team, and then two Eastern Conference teams. Hopefully the Knicks sweep this road trip, that would be pretty freakin’ sweet, especially as all three teams are nominally “up and coming” teams that it would be nice to say, “Well, you haven’t gotten here […]

2023-24 Game Thread: Knicks vs. Bucks (Weird Back-to-Back Opener, which is not a thing)

The Knicks host the Milwaukee Bucks for the first of two straight day games against the Bucks at Madison Square Garden. It is utterly bizarre scheduling. But hey, you gotta figure they’ll win at least one of the two games this way, as, come on, they can’t lose every game they play against the Bucks! […]

2023-24 Game Thread: Knicks @ Nets (East Coast Return Opener, which is not a thing)

It’s kind of douchey having their first game back on the East Coast be on the road, right? After a successful tough West Coast trip, the Knicks have to be lookin forward to a mediocre Nets team. Let’s go, Knicks!

2023-24 Game Thread: Knicks @ Lakers (Second Straight Game in Los Angeles Opener, which is not a thing)

The Knicks remain in Los Angeles for another game to take on the Los Angeles Lakers, who are a pretty good team, but not nearly as deep as the Los Angeles Clippers, so the Knicks should have a good shot at winning this one (remember how people were giving the Clippers grief about how out […]

2023-24 Game Thread: Knicks @ Clippers (West Coast Good Team Road Trip Back-to-Back Opener, which is sort of a thing)

After a big win against the Suns, the Knicks have a chance to have a big back-to-back win against the Clippers. Maybe Brunson can go for 60 tonight! Let’s go, Knicks!

2023-24 Game Thread: Knicks @ Suns (West Coast Good Teams Road Trip Opener, which is kind of a thing)

The Knicks head to Phoenix for the start of a stretch of them facing off against some good teams, and just like the Jazz game, the Suns have gotten healthy in time for the Knicks, with this being just the second time all season that the Suns’ “Medium-Sized Three” of Devin Booker, Bradley Beal and […]

2023-24 Game Thread: Knicks @ Jazz (West Coast Road Trip Opener, which is a thing)

The Knicks kick off their West Coast road trip with the easiest game on the whole trip, a matchup with the Utah Jazz. Annoyingly for the Knicks, Marqanon (or however his name is spelled) is back tonight, so that’s a bit more difficult than normal, but luckily, the Jazz don’t play a lick of defense, […]

2023-24 Game Thread: Knicks vs. Raptors (Jericho Sims, Knicks Starter, Opener, which is oddlly a thing)

The Knicks kick off a post-Mitchell Robinson era tonight with a game against those dreaded IP thieves, the Toronto Raptors. Jericho Sims will be taking Mitch’s spot in the starting rotation, as Thibs clearly has some strict views about roles, and he prefers iHart to remain in his bench role. Of course, iHart will get […]

2023-24 Game Thread: Knicks @ Celtics (In-Season Tournament Runner-up Stage Opener, which is oddlly a thing)

Man, the quirks of the NBA In-Season Tournament sure are, well, you know, quirky! The Knicks have to go to Boston for an extra game against the Celtics because both teams lost in the knockout stage of the In-Season Tournament. How fun. In any event, this is a chance for the Knicks to make a […]

2023-24 Game Thread: Knicks @ Bucks (In-Season Tournament Knockout Stage Opener, which is totally a thing)

After a seven week hiatus, the Knicks head to Milwaukee to take on the Bucks in the start (for them) of the NBA’s knockout stage in their In-Season Tournament. This Tournament is perfect for the Knicks, because they try to win every single game, while other teams don’t, and I think that this will give […]
