NEW YORK KNICKS (16-14) The Knicks, sitting at 5th in the East and a half-game behind Charlotte, begin an important three-game road trip in Atlanta, followed by visits to New Orleans and Houston. New York is the only +.500 team in the NBA that is minus in point differential, which raises some eyebrows. They’ve given up […]
NEW YORK KNICKS (14-11) The Knicks will be shorthanded tonight against the NBA’s top team with both Carmelo Anthony (shoulder) and Derrick Rose (back) out of the lineup. In the aftermath of Tuesday’s overtime heartbreaker, the Knicks failed to match the 1974 team as the only group to start a five-game road trip 3-0. Courtney Lee went […]
NEW YORK KNICKS (14-10) The Knicks have been four games over .500 twice since 2001-02 at this point of the season, so there is growing excitement around the team. They’ve won nine of 12 and 11 of 15 including four straight on the road. This morning before shootaround, the Knicks were downplaying where they are […]

Strange night in the NBA yesterday: For only the second time in history (last time was 1969), six teams with worse records than their opponents won every game! One of the biggest shockers was the Magic’s win against the Spurs in San Antonio. The Spurs’ home record is surprisingly 4-4 this season. Now on to […]
New York Knicks (8-7) The Knicks play the same opponent (the Hornets) on consecutive nights for the only time this year. It happens three other times with a day off in between including next week vs. Minnesota and later in the season against Miami and Milwaukee. Jeff Hornacek is not a fan of these back-to-backs, […]
NEW YORK KNICKS (5-6) The Knicks have won two in a row and now have a victory over a playoff team from last year after beating the Pistons last night. The win was inspirational for a number of reasons. Kristaps Porzingis set a career high with 35 points and tied a career high in shots taken […]
NEW YORK KNICKS (3-5) The Knicks leave a trail of technical fouls behind them in Boston, as they face one of the powers of the Eastern Conference, the Toronto Raptors, at the Air Canada Centre tonight.

New York Knicks (3-4) The Knicks have gone from the best free-throw shooting team last year at 82 percent to 73 percent this season.

NEW YORK KNICKS (1-1) Jeff Hornacek looks for his first road win as Knicks coach tonight against a Pistons team that is the sexy pick to leap into the Top-4 playoff teams in the Eastern Conference. If Hornacek, himself, was playing the two-guard position next to Derrick Rose, he would “make sure I’m in his […]
