(Photo by Sarah Stier/Getty Images)   The New York Knicks lead their first-round playoff series against the Philadelphia 76ers, 2-0, and the Tri-state area has been energized by the fact that they’re finally a strong team with a strong identity and culture. The Knicks showed their grit by winning two close, low-scoring games at Madison Square Garden, but this series is far from over. One thing New York has to be concerned about is Jalen Brunson’s poor shooting — in fact, through two games of this series, he has shot just 16-of-55, which is the lowest field-goal percentage by an NBA player ..read more

(Photo by Sarah Stier/Getty Images)   Coming into the NBA playoffs, the New York Knicks were sporting the second seed and home-court advantage, but they had the tough challenge of facing the Philadelphia 76ers, who had gotten reigning NBA MVP Joel Embiid back on the floor and were firing on all cylinders ahead of the postseason. With Embiid back in the fold, the 76ers were expected to give the Knicks a run for their money, especially with New York not having star forward Julius Randle for the entire NBA playoffs. Fortunately, the Knicks were also locked in heading into the postseason, wit ..read more

(Photo by Sarah Stier/Getty Images)   The New York Knicks just got a huge win. Trailing by five with less than a minute left, Tom Thibodeau’s team was able to rally back and take a 2-0 series lead over the Philadelphia 76ers. With that in mind, sports analyst Craig Carton claimed that it was the biggest moment in Madison Square Garden since Larry Johnson’s epic four-point play in the 1999 Eastern Conference Finals. Talking on “The Carton Show,” he argued that if you consider the manner in which they won the game, what it meant, and how the crowd was so involved in the game when it happene ..read more

(Photo by Sarah Stier/Getty Images)   The New York Knicks are up 2-0 in the first round. Tom Thibodeau’s team took care of business late in the game, and while the referees may have had something to do with that, they didn’t make or miss shots for the Knicks. That’s why sports analyst Craig Carton believes the Philadelphia 76ers have nothing to complain about after the loss. The Sixers filed a formal complaint, but Carton thinks they should take a look at the fact that they actually blew a five-point lead with 30 seconds left in the game. Talking on The Carton Show, he recalled the final ..read more

(Photo by Elsa/Getty Images)   It’s been a while since the New York Knicks were this good. Even without Julius Randle, Tom Thibodeau’s team was able to finish the campaign strong, and trading for OG Anunoby may have been one of the biggest moves they’ve made in quite a while. Jalen Brunson is playing like a superstar, and fellow Villanova teammates Josh Hart and Donte DiVincenzo have been perfect complements by his side. Also, getting Mitchell Robinson back has allowed Isaiah Hartenstein to shift back to the second unit and provide some big energy off the bench. That’s why Knicks fans are ..read more

Needless to say, this year won’t be the exception to the rule, and the Knicks are going to have a very particular and special fan in attendance. As told by himself on ESPN, Stephen A. Smith is going to be on the floor when the Knicks square off against the Philadelphia ..read more

(Photo by Sarah Stier/Getty Images)   The 2023-24 NBA regular season ended with a bang for the New York Knicks, as they defeated the Chicago Bulls in an overtime match and grabbed the second seed in the Eastern Conference. That was a massive accomplishment for the team, but was it the right move? Sam Amick pointed to the opinion of one unnamed NBA executive who told The Athletic that the Knicks should have lost their final game so they wouldn’t have claimed the second-best ranking in the East. “Do you really want to face a fully healthy Philly team?” the executive asked. This (anonymous ..read more

(Photo by Cindy Ord/Getty Images for SiriusXM)   The New York Knicks would’ve rather faced a different opponent in the first round of the playoffs. The Philadelphia 76ers are always a big threat, and Joel Embiid is the reigning MVP for a reason. Nonetheless, under the current circumstances, Stephen A. Smith believes they should have nothing to worry about. In the latest edition of ESPN’s “First Take,” the controversial pundit stated that the only player who could pose any threat to the Knicks isn’t at 100% right now. .@stephenasmith says the Knicks shouldn't be worried about the 76ers ..read more

(Photo by Gene Sweeney Jr/Getty Images)   The New York Knicks aren’t afraid of anybody. Even so, if their matchup vs. the Philadelphia 76ers gets any easier, they won’t complain. That’s why former NBA player Tim Legler believes they should be licking their chops right now. Talking on ESPN’s Get Up, he pointed out that Joel Embiid isn’t physically well at the moment. “If I’m the Knicks, and I’m watching that game, I am licking my chops right now because Joel Embiid is not right,” Legler said. "If I'm the Knicks, and I'm watching that game, I am licking my chops right now because Joel Embi ..read more
