The Knicks head to Brooklyn to take on the Nets in part one of a rough back-to-back affair, with the Nets tonight and then the Sixers tomorrow night. Both the Nets and the Sixers have been on crazy hot streaks, with the Nets seemingly poised to take over the top spot in the Eastern Conference, […]
From Peter Botte: The Knicks face one of the NBA’s most daunting schedules for the remainder of the season, which only increased the importance of Saturday’s visit to Oklahoma City to help maintain their playoff positioning. RJ Barrett netted a career-high 32 points as coach Tom Thibodeau’s team bounced back from a blowout loss Thursday […]
The Knicks head to Oklahoma City this afternoon to take on the SGA-less OKC Thunder. The Knicks are in the midst of a tough four-game road trip and holy shit, did they need to hear that SGA wasn’t going to play today! He’s by far the best player on OKC and pretty much where all […]
From Marc Berman: In what the franchise prays is not a harbinger, the Knicks initiated the season’s second half in Milwaukee in disastrous form Thursday. After all the hope garnered from their season’s first half, the Knicks looked unrecognizable as they fell behind by 35 points in the fourth quarter at Fiserv Forum. The Bucks, […]
The Knicks kick off the second half of their season by traveling to Milwaukee to take on the Milwaukee Bucks, who are playing pretty well overall, but a notable step below the top two teams in the Eastern Conference, the Nets and the Sixers. The Knicks will be without Derrick Rose (still in the COVID-19 […]
The report is: Rose (COVID-19 protocols) will not play Thursday against the Bucks. Rose missed the Knicks’ final two games prior to the All-Star break due to the league’s health and safety protocols, and he’ll be sidelined once again Thursday. Immanuel Quickley and Frank Ntilikina should continue to see increased run in his absence. Odd. […]
From Yaron Weitzman (not a Knick beat guy, interestingly, so it’s almost a certainy that someone in the Knicks front office approached him to do a story on the Knicks. That’s not inherently a bad thing, of course, it’s just interesting): Aller, Thibodeau and Wesley each boast different skills. Wesley’s the relationships guy. Aller’s all about […]
From Marc Berman: Tom Thibodeau soared into the All-Star break smiling and owning a winning record. The Knicks whipped the Pistons, 114-104, Thursday to enter the All-Star break on an 8-3 spree, a 19-18 record overall and in fifth place in the Eastern Conference. The Knicks haven’t owned a winning record this late in a […]
The Knicks host the Detroit Pistons in their final game before the All-Star break with a chance to go over .500 ahead of the break. And now the news is that the Pistons’ best player, Jerami Grant (which, of course, says a lot about the Pistons) will miss tonight’s game. Derrick Rose, despite a few […]
From Marc Berman: The Knicks were without Derrick Rose — and a pulse. This pandemic season finally crushed the Knicks on Tuesday, with Rose’s COVID-19-related absence demonstrating how a player can go from invisible to prominent in an eye-blink. Just a week ago, Frank Ntilikina hadn’t played since late December — felled by a knee […]
