I’ve had this argument with friends and family. I’ve had it at my favorite sports bar, Turnmill, just talking sports with fellow New Yorkers. I’ve had it many, many times with co-workers in other cities. Apparently, I have always been wrong. Or I’ve been told I was wrong so many times that I started having […]
Now comes the hard part. The Knicks will be a vastly different team next season, starting with the head coach after the Knicks announced they were parting ways with coach Jeff Hornacek early Thursday morning. Time for team president Steve Mills and GM Scott Perry to make the most important hire of their partnership. [Press Release: […]
I have a friend who is as knowledgeable and passionate a Knicks fan as I know. We can talk about anything Knicks. We can, how shall I put this, ‘emphatically agree to disagree,’ about whether or not Kristaps Porzingis is a franchise player or if the Knicks would be better or worse off if Enes […]
After the Knicks used a second-round pick in the 2017 NBA Draft on Damyean Dotson, I called his college coach Kelvin Sampson. One quote from the University of Houston coach kept recycling in my thoughts. “Before the season is over, Damyean is going to surprise you,’’ Sampson said. “You’ll see early on that he is […]
I’m a big believer in letting experts do their job, whatever it is. You don’t tell a plumber how to fix the leaky toilet. You don’t tell the lawyer how to argue the case. You don’t tell a GM who to sign or draft or acquire. Except in this case. The case of Enes Kanter. […]

March can be the kindest and cruelest of months for a college basketball player. One minute you’re a relatively unknown player in Michigan named Jordan Poole, the next you’ve hit a ridiculous, game-winning 3-pointer and you’re being confused with Oscar winner Jordan Peele. But what becomes of the players whose shot doesn’t drop? How do […]
The Knicks have a chance tonight to accomplish something they haven’t done since the end of January – win consecutive games. After blasting the Charlotte Hornets 124-101 on Saturday, the Knicks host the Chicago Bulls at The World’s Most Famous Arena. Winning two straight may not seem like a significant accomplishment but everything the Knicks […]
Ever since Kristaps Porzingis crumpled to The Garden court clutching at his injured left knee, even the most optimistic Knicks fan knew the season was headed for troubled waters. Porzingis suffered a torn ACL on Feb. 6 against the Milwaukee Bucks, a game the Knicks were winning until KP went down. Including the game against […]
Since the Knicks began to focus on evaluating their young talent — namely guards Frank Ntilikina, Emmanuel Mudiay and Trey Burke — one player has literally flown under the radar. Not anymore. [Watch Knicks-Raptors Sunday on MSG & MSG GO. Download Free] Since joining the Knicks, forward Troy Williams turned in his most impressive performance Friday […]
