The Knicks suffered yet another major injury as Mitchell Robinson, who had been playing visibly hurt since his “encounter” with Joel Embiid in Game 3 of the first round, has been ruled out for the rest of the playoffs. Honestly, though, losing a clearly injured Mitch, while certainly a blow, is really not that much […]

The Knicks host the Indiana Pacers in Game 1 of the second round, the first time since the 2013 Playoffs that the Knicks are no doubt about it favorites in a round. And you know what? It feels pretty fucking sweet. I was bullish on the Knicks in all of their playoff series in the […]
In all seriousness, the Knicks are obviously in the much better situation than the Sixers. The Knicks just need to split these two games, while the Sixers need to win both games (which will also mean beating the Knicks three games in a row). So just relax. The Knicks will probably close the Sixers out […]
As I noted last time, I’m on vacation early this week, so it’s hard for me to follow this awesomeness. I watched Game 4 on my phone in a friend’s house (Cable sucks, but I love being able to get NBA games wherever I am in the country). He had a phone stand, so we […]
The whole world now knows that Joel Embiid is a whiny jerk, and this game is the “opener” to the world of that fact, so let’s hope that he has a terrible game, and the Knicks destroy the Sixers. Sadly, Mitchell Robinson will miss the game, but hopefully Sims has some…ahem…hard fouls this afternoon. Six […]
I mean, this is the rub, right? If the Knicks win tonight, the series isn’t officially over, but, well, come on, the series is effectively over. No NBA team has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit in a best of seven series (I don’t think anyone’s come back from a 3-0 deficit in a […]
The Knicks host the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 2 of their first round playoff matchup. Well, Game 1 sure was fascinating, huh? We all thought that Embiid was not really in game shape for the playoffs, and he wasn’t, and yet Nick Nurse still came up with a heck of a gameplan to take on […]
Here we go, the most important game of the Knicks’ season (until the next one). This game is particularly huge because it is sort of the proof of concept game. We know the Knicks can kick the Sixers’ ass, but will they? We shall see today if they can make Embiid run so much he […]
Oh man, these dudes are really going to win fifty fucking games. Can you even BELIEVE that shit? I know we all went through the 2012-13 team winning 54 games, but A. That was the peak level of that team from a talent standpoint, while this team is going to win 50 while missing Randle, […]
The Knicks host the Nets in a must-win game if the Knicks want to win 50 games, and, well, come on, that would be fucking awesome, so let’s hope that they do that. Let’s go, Knicks! Me and you on the way to #2!
