On the surface, the 2026 New York Knicks might not seem like a more dangerous playoff threat than the 2025 edition. Sixty-eight games into the year, the Knicks are 43-25, the exact same record they held at this point last year. The Knicks are currently slotted in the East’s third seed, the exact same position …
It’s amazing to realize a singular postseason produced a trio of dramatic Game 5s without including the first round. It’s befuddling to remember that this trio involved one NBA team. The 1993-94 New York Knicks produced drama beyond a broadcaster’s imagination. Without Michael Jordan—who shockingly retired to play baseball—the NBA on NBC graciously accepted the …
Could it be self-harm making it impossible for New York Knicks fans to have nice things? Nah. As disappointing and obnoxious as the incessant bitching about Tom Thibodeau‘s coaching has been, it’s tough to ever blame the fans. Granted, Knicks ownership has been known to react to fan chatter in the past, perhaps spontaneously, but …
The New York Knicks are a good basketball team. Some might label them as “one of the best teams in the NBA.” But they’re certainly not the best, or even in the conversation. That’s what has Knicks fans frustrated with just six games left until the 2026 playoffs. The orange-and-blue faithful are worried that the …
The mission statement is simple yet loaded: win the NBA championship. Not only do fans have this goal firmly entrenched in their hoops-loving brains, but the New York Knicks as an organization have also been transparent about it. The front office stated that goal when firing former head coach Tom Thibodeau after the 2024-25 team …
In the early 1990s, we knew the deal: The New York Knicks were a bonafide NBA title contender. Head coach Pat Riley arrived as the missing piece, and he took an overachieving group to the brink of a championship. What we tend to forget is that this no-doubt-about-it-contending status didn’t happen overnight—as is usually the …
“In Leon Rose we trust,” said diehard city hoops fans everywhere. Well, that is until New York Knicks president Leon Rose no longer has Tom Thibodeau making his players look better than they actually are. Now that the Knickerbockers’ head-coaching post is collaborating with the front office and players, the trust that once labeled the …
Perhaps Thursday night’s atmosphere won’t resemble the same “I’m Coming Home” type vibe New York Knicks fans witnessed when Carmelo Anthony initially stepped onto the Big Apple hoops scene. Then again, it’s not like the Minnesota Timberwolves feature a rich history of all-time organizational greats. Karl-Anthony Towns makes his anticipated return to Minnesota Thursday night …
If the NBA playoffs began today, the No. 3-seeded New York Knicks would take on the No. 6-seeded Milwaukee Bucks. Fortunately for all involved—specifically Jalen Brunson and Damian Lillard—the postseason does not start today. Brunson and Lillard remain sidelined due to injury-related issues. Although the latest news suggests Brunson will return before the playoffs, Lillard’s …
Many in Manhattan have no doubt endured the humbling tradition of returning to the office after vacation. The New York Knicks joined those muddled metropolitans on Thursday night. The Knicks got a rude welcome back from the NBA All-Star break at Madison Square Garden, falling to the Detroit Pistons by a 126-111 final in their …
