2023-24 Game Thread: Knicks @ Pacers (Post-RJ/IQ Opener, which is kind of a thing)

Hot off a stunning trade (especially since it was Leon Rose who made it, who seems to be more careful with each possible move than J. Alfred Prufrock), the Knicks have to head to Indiana to take on the Pacers without the services of RJ and IQ, but also without new additions OG, Malachi and […]

2023-24 Game Thread: Knicks @ Magic (Orlando Opener, not really a thing)

The Knicks head to Orlando for the second leg of this weird little road trip, to take on the surprisingly good Orlando Magic, but, well, as we all know well, early in the NBA season, there’s always a couple of teams where it’s, like, “Wait, they can’t be this good, can they?” and it’s not […]

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 […]
