Game Thread 2023-24 Knicks vs. Lakers (In-Season Tournament Revenge Opener, which is not really a thing)

The Knicks host the struggling Lakers, as the injury ravaged Knicks continue to destroy all comers. They could even lose this game and it wouldn’t even matter, that’s how amazing they’re playing right now. My 53-win prediction might be low at this point!! Let’s go, Knicks!

Game Thread 2023-24 Knicks vs. Jazz (Mitch/Randle/OG/Grimes-less opener, which is sadly a thing)

The Knicks host the Indiana Pacers tonight with a very small rotation of available players. They’re down so many players that Evan Fournier is even going to be part of the rotation tonight! Now, again, logically this should lead to a loss, especially since Hali is playing for the Pacers, but, well, this team is […]

Game Thread 2023-24 Knicks vs. Jazz (The Return of Taj opener, which is hilariously a thing)

Older Knick fans will undoubtedly remember how the Knicks kept trading Herb Williams and then resigning him when the other team cut him (the NBA literally changed the rules to disallow this super harmless thing). That’s what Taj Gibson feels like now. In any event, the Randle and OG-less Knicks take on the decent Utah […]

Game Thread 2023-24 Knicks @ Hornets (Randle-Less Knicks opener, which is sadly a thing)

The Knicks start their period of playing without star Julius Randle for at least a month with a game in Charlotte, against the awful Charlotte Hornets, who are missing LaMelo Ball, so, well, come on. The Knicks will certainly miss Randle, but they sure shouldn’t need him tonight. Now, OG ALSO being out is definitely […]

Game Thread 2023-24 Knicks vs. Heat (Non-In-Season Tournament Playoff Revenge Opener, which is a thing)

The Knicks host the Miami Heat for their first meeting between the two teams since the Knicks transformed their team with the addition of OG Anunoby, giving them the exact type of player every playoff contender wants to have on their squad in the playoffs (it’s no secret that the other teams that were trying […]

Game Thread 2023-24 Knicks vs. Nuggets (Defending Champs MSG opener, which is a thing)

The Knicks host the defending NBA champion Denver Nuggets, who are in a bit of a rut, and are ending a long road trip tonight, so they are prime to be picked off, but the Knicks will be without iHart, so that’s scary. Just do what you always do, Knicks, play hard and never give […]

Game Thread 2023-24 Knicks @ Nets (Precious starting center opener, which is maybe a thing)

The Knicks head to Brooklyn to take on the very disappointingly bad Brooklyn Nets. I didn’t think the Nets would be good, per se, this season, but I didn’t think they’d be so actively bad. One of the biggest problems has been Mikal Bridges, to the point where I wonder if the dude is hurt […]

Game Thread 2023-24 Knicks vs. Raptors (RJ and IQ Return to NY Opener, which is kind of a thing)

The Raptors traded away Pascal Siakam, so that makes this game less concerning, but hey, you know that RJ and IQ will be trying their best tonight, so hopefully that doesn’t cause problems for the Knicks tonight. It’d be nice if the Knicks could get a comfortable win so that OG can only play, like, […]

Game Thread 2023-24 Knicks vs. Wizards (OG 48 Minute Challenge Opener, which is not a thing)

The Knicks host the awful Washington Wizards tonight, with Josh Hart missing the game. Can OG play 48 minutes? Let us find out (you would hope that the Knicks would be up so big that OG could rest the end of the game, but we shall see)! Let’s go, Knicks!

Game Thread 2023-24 Knicks vs. Rockets (1994 Finals Revenge Opener, which is not a thing)

I remember the Knicks and the Rockets playing a close game at MSG in February 1995 that the Knicks won (after the Knicks had previously crushed them in their first meeting of the 1994-95 season in January in Houston) and that, to me, was actually somewhat of a big deal following the Rockets defeating the […]
