2020-21 Game Thread: Knicks @ Trailblazers

The Knicks head to Portland to take on the Trailblazers who, due to the crazy bunching together in the Western Conference standings, are somehow the current #4 seed despite only having an 8-6 record! The Blazers, of course, are in the news for having TWO players break bones in their body, with both Jusuf Nurkic […]

2020-21 Game Thread: Knicks @ Kings

Coming off of a resounding victory against the Golden State Warriors, the Knicks head to Sacramento to face a sputtering Kings team with an excellent chance to go OVER .500! Hopefully Hali has a shitty game. It’d be swell if Quickley outdid him. Let’s go, get a winning record, Knicks!

2020-21 Game Thread: Knicks @ Warriors

The Knicks head to San Francisco to take on the Golden State Warriors, led by Wadrell Curry. The Warriors have been struggling, so this is a perfect chance for the Knicks to get back to .500 ahead of some winnable games. Let’s go get back to .500, Knicks!

NY Post: Elfrid Payton clinging to Knicks starting spot with stellar defense

From Marc Berman: Like a cat’s nine lives, Elfrid Payton has survived all point-guard comers to hold onto the starting job for a second straight season — even turning back surging rookie Immanuel Quickley. Dennis Smith Jr. and Frank Ntilikina have proved no competition — each suffering early-season injuries to eliminate them as contenders. Each […]

2020-21 Game Thread: Knicks vs. Magic

The Knicks host the Magic on their annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day matinee (I used to go these a lot back in the day). The Knicks actually WEREN’T home last year, which irritated the Knicks a lot (they were also on the road in 2018, but that was because of a scheduling conflict with […]

2020-21 Game Thread: Knicks @ Celtics

The Knicks head to Boston to play the Celtics, as the Boston squad is depleted due to injuries and COVID. Kemba Walker miiiiiight return from injury today. We shall see. The Knicks have lost five straight and the Celtics have won five straight. Let’s hope that both streaks end today. Let’s go, streak breaking Knicks!

2020-21 Game Thread: Knicks @ the Cavs’ New All-Center Starting Lineup

Now that Jarrett Allen is on the Cavaliers and the Cavaliers’ starting backcourt is out due to injury, I think they’ll probably go something like: Javale McGee at the point (they actually tried a little bit of point McGee in the preseason, hilariously) Andre Drummond at shooting guard Larry Nance at the three Thon Maker […]

2020-21 Game Thread: Knicks vs Kevin Durant, Joe Harris and Three Guys Off The Street

The Knicks host the Nets tonight on the heels of the Nets both A. defeating the Denver Nuggets and B. trading for James Harden in a blockbuster deal where the Nets have promised the Nets their next 27 first round picks and the first born children of Joe Harris and Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot So the Nets […]

2020-21 Game Thread: Knicks @ Hornets

Well, I guess having optimism about the Knicks was the bad way to handle things. Normally, I’d say, “Charlotte is another team that you’d think that the Knicks could handle,” but how about – Charlotte? No way that the Knicks can beat Charlotte! Charlotte is way out of the Knicks’ league! So there, let’s see […]

2020-21 Game Thread: Knicks vs. Nuggets

One of the things we’ve noticed early in the season is that the teams that made the playoffs and thus have had very little time off have been especially sloppy in these early games and the Nuggets are a notable example of this, especially since they just lost Michael Porter Jr. to a COVID quarantine.
