The Knicks currently hold zero draft picks in the upcoming draft but that hasn't stopped them from doing their due diligence.According to a tweet from Global Scouting, Craig Porter Jr. has an upcoming workout session scheduled with the Knicks.This could just be in case Porter Jr., who is projected to be a potential late second-round pick, goes undrafted.

"Classic rock" was the first genre I learned.My pops grew up in the 70s and reared me on the best his decade offered.It all started when he told me to search for the Led Zepplin album with "the old man carrying sticks."That album was Led Zepplin IV, considered one of the greatest rock albums ever.

The 2022-23 season came to an end in a frustrating and disappointing manner but the future outlook around this year's squad remains positive and encouraging.Sure the Knicks, like they did two years ago after bowing out in the first round, still have questions about Julius Randle's playoff performances and the ceiling of Tom Thibodeau as the captain of this ship, but overall, the Knicks are in a much better place.

It's over.The New York Knicks got to extend the season for a few days-a few weeks, even-longer than most people expected but they ultimately surrendered.Miami defeated New York 96-92 in Game 6 and closed the Eastern Conference semifinals matchup with a 4-2 win over the Knicks sending the latter home with their tail between the legs.

Remember how this season began?That's also how it ended.The faces changed - Cam Reddish was shipped to Portland, Evan Fournier to the end of the bench - but not the theme.The very first message the New York Knicks sent the NBA in 2022-23 was: "We're here and we're not going away."They didn't win that opener in Memphis, nor were they expected to.

New York and Miami will face each other tonight at MSG for the second game of their Eastern Conference Semi-Finals series with the Heat boasting a 1-0 record over the hosts.With only one game in the books, it's still too early to say things are looking bad for the Knicks.However, Tom Thibodeau and the guys must step up and split the series on Tuesday if they don't want to face an uphill battle down in South Beach.

You can officially consider the 2022-23 New York Knicks season a winning one.Your boys hosted the Western Conference leaders on Saturday at MSG and went to sleep having defeated the Nuggets 116-110 in a delicious matinee.It was, simply put, a historic victory for all it meant to the franchise.For starters, this win marks New York's 42nd of the season and the most the Knicks have gotten in a single campaign since they won 54 all the way back in 2013.

The New York Knicks (40-30) completed their back-to-back weekend at the Cryptodome with a 112-108 win over the Los Angeles Lakers.New York snapped a three-game winning streak by the Lake Show while finally breaking out of their own three-game skid, winning for the first time since defeating the Celtics in double-OT back on Mar. 5 at MSG.

I'll get straight to the point, the New York Knicks are being dared to shoot open shots and rewarding the Miami Heat by missing them.Here are the numbers from games 1-3 of this series when the Knicks have had 4-6 feet of open space and 6+ feet to shoot from deep (According to ) Game 1: 2/15 (13.3%)Game 2: 7/19 (36.8%)

The New York Knicks have a rough hill to climb in Game 4. They need to beat a Miami Heat team that has roundly outplayed them in this series.And they will also likely be without their best bench player, as Immanuel Quickley has been declared doubtful for Monday's game.Immanuel Quickley (sprained left ankle) is doubtful for Game 4 at Miami.- NY_KnicksPR (@NY_KnicksPR)

Quickley was hurt in the second half of an embarrassing Game 3 loss on Saturday.

Blame that on the hot weather.New York arrived in Miami for Game 3 of their second-round series against the Heat and did a bunch of nothing.So little did the Knicks do that they barely cracked the 85-point barrier, losing their first game on the road 86-105 to the hosting Heat.Let's make this a quickie: Jimmy Butler returned after spending nearly a week rehabbing, Jalen Brunson and Julius Randle were good to go for the Knicks, Josh Hart usurped Quentin Grimes for a place in the starting lineup, and all of the other important stuff was the same before the ball got rolling.

If there has been one theme for the New York Knicks these past few weeks, it would be "Ankles are annoying."Even when they were beating the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round, the Knicks were dealing with ankle injuries (Julius Randle, Josh Hart).Now they're facing the Heat (and getting their asses handed to them), but the ankle problems remain the same.

On the day the New York Knicks (44-33) virtually won a number five seed in the Eastern Conference, they lost a key member of their rotation and someone they will need if they want to make any sort of postseason run.The Knicks hosted the Miami Heat (40-37) at MSG on Wednesday, dealt with them in a not-so-complicated way, and went to sleep with a 101-92 victory in their pockets and a nearly locked top-five finish in the Eastern side of the bracket-no play-in drama needed.

With the ides of March now safely behind us, it's the ideas of March we turn to.Namely, what ideas you been tossing around?As far as the New York Knicks?I suppose about life, too, but while life brought us all here in a big-picture sense the ties that bind are orange and blue.The regular season nears its end, and what a season it's been.

Mike Breen said it best: "(Julius) Randle shoots better with a defender on him."Indeed he does, as he matched his career high Friday night with 46 points.Breen referred to the Three-Point Contest, where Randle came in second to last.Unfortunately, Randle's game doesn't translate to the All-Star festivities.

On Saturday, the New York Knicks thoroughly tested the strength of the rims at the Kaseya Center in their 105-86 loss to the Miami Heat.The nets were barely affected.By losing Game Three of the Eastern Conference Semifinals, the Knicks are in a 2-1 hole and signs are not encouraging.Until about midday, the Heat had maintained the ruse that Jimmy Butler might sit due to his sprained ankle.

The Boston Celtics would never consider the trade proposal NBA Analysis Network came up with, sending Jaylen Brown to the Kings for a package of Kevin Huerter, two future first-round picks, Davion Mitchell, and Richaun Holmes.While Huerter in a nutshell would be the perfect complementary piece to the current Celtics lineup, he's far from the type of headliner Sacramento would have to offer in a trade package for a top-10 scorer who's likely to be named to an All-NBA team.

Celtics The Celtics shot their worst 3-point percentage of the season on Monday.The Celtics dropped a 109-94 loss to the Knicks on Monday on a cold-shooting evening without Jaylen Brown.Here are the takeaways.1.The Celtics put together their worst 3-point shooting game of the season, finishing a paltry 9-for-42 (21.4 percent) from behind the arc.

The New York Knicks are heading to Miami with their Eastern Conference semifinal tied at one game apiece, but if they want to have a chance to win the series, they are going to need more production from their bench.Production from the Knicks bench doesn't necessarily have to come in the form of points.

For decades, the NBA Draft went by with the Knicks either as spectators or on the outside looking in.Past front-office leaders like Isiah Thomas traded draft picks like they were worthless.Or, like Phil Jackson, they squandered late first-round picks on players with low upside, only to fade out of the league in a few years.

On a night the Knicks essentially clinched a spot in the playoffs, they were struck by a thunderbolt that could cripple them once there.Their 101-92 win over the Miami Heat was a true team effort, inspiring but also necessary in light of Julius Randle leaving the game in the first half with an ankle injury.

Game Story:
The 40-36 Miami Heat are headed for yet another critical matchup on the road against the 43-33 New York Knicks inside MSG.Miami is currently 3 games behind New York for the 5th seed, and if there's any sort of slim chance of snagging that 5th spot before the season ends, this is a game that the Heat have to win to make that possible.

Immanuel Quickley is in the midst of a breakout season for the Knicks, averaging career highs in minutes, points, rebounds, and steals per game while shooting a career-best mark from the field.However, that career season got even more special on Monday night in the Knicks' 137-115 drubbing of the Rockets.

The Knicks won their second game in a row on Tuesday night, capping off their West Coast road trip with a 123-107 victory over the Portland Trailblazers, even with Jalen Brunson sidelined by a sore foot.It seemed that a rough stretch of the season ended on a high note for New York, but, apparently, not everybody felt the same way.

Much was made about whether Josh Hart was worth the cost the New York Knicks paid to acquire him at Thursday's trade deadline.In just one game, Hart may have silenced all of those criticisms, inspiring the Madison Square Garden crowd in a 126-120 win over the Utah Jazz.Hart's value to the Knicks was evident early on, even as he struggled with his shot and early foul trouble.

The Knicks thrashed the Hawks in Atlanta in their final regular season meeting of the year.122-101.It was a tremendous performance by New York from beginning to end.In the first quarter, the Knicks outscored the Hawks 37-21 and never looked back.ESPN's win probability with 4:01 left in the opening quarter was at 87.4 percent in favor of New York.

Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson missed Monday night's victory over the Houston Rockets with a sprained right wrist.It was Brunson's second consecutive game missed, and his eighth of the last 11.It is still officially unknown whether he will be available for Wednesday's hugely important matchup against the Miami Heat.

The Knicks took care of business against the Houston Rockets at MSG tonight behind a career night from Immanuel Quickley.New York was without Jalen Brunson and needed some help picking up the slack.RJ Barrett and Julius Randle were the first on line one to answer the call.Then Quickley joined the cause in a big way in the second quarter while Barrett kept on rolling.

Just a couple of weeks ago, Knicks fans couldn't wait for the playoffs to get here.Fresh off of a nine-game winning streak, we were all excited with the team's play and were looking forward to the prospect of making some noise in the post season.But after their recent 3-6 stretch, many are thankful that there is still some time for this team to right the ship and get back on track.

On the second night of a back-to-back, the New York Knicks are still in Florida, this time to face the Orlando Magic.The Knicks find themselves in what has become a much too familiar situation, one in which the team has a pseudo-must-win game following a loss that many would describe as disappointing and frustrating.

The New York Knicks (42-31) could have boarded a plane to Florida riding a four-game winning streak but they will have to conform with having won three of their last four after dropping Monday's affair 140-134 to the visiting Minnesota Timberwolves (36-37) at MSG.The Wolves entered the world's most famous arena without Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns, both injured.

The New York Knicks' four-game road trip came to an end Tuesday night against the Portland Trail Blazers.It was their third game in four days and they were without point guard Jalen Brunson for a third straight game.Immanuel Quickley would take Brunson's spot in the starting five, which left the bench without a key contributor.

Tuesday night's road victory over the Portland Trail Blazes seemed like an amazing feel good win to cap off what had been a rough 1-3 stretch.Deuce McBride stepped up in a major way scoring a career-high 18 points off the bench, Josh Hart returned to Portland and flirted with a 16-point triple double, both RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley had efficient scoring nights scoring 22 and 26 respectively, and Julius Randle, despite struggling from the field, kept his head up and even cracked a few smiles towards the end of the game.

It doesn't get much better in the NBA than going to the home of the Lakers and leaving with a win in the back pocket.The Knicks did just that on Sunday night and now look to finish the road swing strong as they take on the Blazers tonight.New York will have revenge in the back of their minds after the Blazers stunned them in the Garden in overtime without Damian Lillard earlier this season.

While the New York Knicks were finally able to stop their losing streak and pick up a win against the Lakers Sunday night, their offense still needs a lot of work.Over their last three games, the Knicks have posted some of the worst offensive stats in the league, and it's no coincidence that it has coincided with point guard Jalen Brunson's foot injury.

The New York Knicks (39-30) entered the Cryptodome having lost consecutive games for the first time since Jan. 31 and couldn't do anything to prevent the Los Angeles Clippers from making it three straight, falling 106-95 Saturday afternoon while falling percentage points behind the Nets and into sixth in the Eastern standings.

They are building momentum again, each win by the Clippers just a little more impressive than the previous.Along the way, Kawhi Leonard and Paul George are showing why they are one of the NBA's top duos, and why the Clippers still hold championship aspirations.Leonard was outstanding again in scoring 38 points, with his left-handed dunk late in the fourth quarter providing the finishing touches on the Clippers' 106-95 victory over the New York Knicks on Saturday at Crypto.com

The New York Knicks and Chicago Bulls are discussing a potential trade that would send Zach LaVine to the Knicks.This is what's being reported as the potential trade package:

The New York Knicks are reportedly focused on acquiring 2x All-Star Zach LaVine from the Bulls.In the framework of a potential deal, Chicago could receive Evan Fournier, Derrick Rose, Quentin Grimes, Obi Toppin, and three first-round picks for LaVine and Goran Dragic.-

Have the Knicks and Nets ever played an important game?There are only three I'd even call memorable.The first I didn't even see: April Fool's Day, 1987, when all I knew of the Knicks came from reading boxscores in Newsday.The Knicks and Nets were neck-and-neck for the second-worst record in the league.

Huzzah, the streak is dead!The Knicks had lost nine games in a row to the Brooklyn Nets.As much fun as we had clowning Brooklyn for the bizarre antics of the Kevin Durant/Kyrie Irving Era, there was no doubt that those dudes owned us.But now they are gone, and the Knicks took full advantage Monday night.

It's been more than three years and nine games in the making, but the Manhattan blockbuster finally got delivered on Monday as the New York Knicks (32-27) defeated the visiting Brooklyn Nets 124-106 at MSG for the first time since the start of the KD-Kyrie era.Perhaps Brooklyn should get accustomed to being the No. 2 team in the New York area from now on, and if that's the case then this served the likes of Mikal Bridges, Dorian Finney-Smith, and Cam Johnson well as an initiation.

One quarter of pure domination was all New York needed to finish the Hawks on the road at State Farm Arena on Wednesday.The Knicks (33-27) conquered Atlanta by beating their professional basketball team 122-101.The game was so skewed toward New York early that even if your Knickerbockers had scored just 10 points in the final stanza they would have still forced OT.

The big NBA news on Monday featured a pair of famous, veteran point guards signing with new teams after agreeing to contract buyouts - Russell Westbrook signed with the Los Angeles Clippers and Patrick Beverley signed with the Chicago Bulls.What does this have to do with our New York Knicks?Absolutely nothing.

The New York Knicks (39-29) couldn't enjoy a full-time outing by Jalen Brunson for the third game in a row and lost for the second consecutive time, falling 122-117 to the Sacramento Kings (39-26) at the Golden 1 Center.This victory tied Sacto with NYC in the win column, although the boys from Califas have a better record.

Going into the 2022-23 season, it was unknown if Knicks shooting guard Quentin Grimes would be starting or coming off the bench.Once Grimes was injured and unable to start the season, Evan Fournier took the spot.Seven games into the season, Grimes replaced Fournier in the starting lineup and has held the position all season.

Say what you will about these Knicks, but they don't quit.They lost Jalen Brunson at halftime to a reoccurrence of his foot injury (worrisome!), and were down by 20 in the third quarter, but they rallied to tie the game at 96-96 in the fourth quarter.Unfortunately, New York fell victim to the same problem that plagued them all night: They couldn't shoot for the shit.

After a mixed-bag performance from the select New York Knicks at All-Star weekend, the team is again whole as they travel to Washington D.C. to take on the Wizards.They may be wholer than they've been in a while, with Mitchell Robinson listed as questionable; if he can play it'll be his first action since injuring his thumb five weeks ago.

Make it four wins in a row, folks.Perhaps you have forgotten, but the last time we reported on a New York Knicks game it was all the way back on Feb. 15 with the All-Star game still to be played.Nothing has changed, though, as the Knickerbockers returned to action on Friday in DC and did what they had us accustomed to these days: winning games.

The Knicks have won five games in a row and are captivating the city again with a tremendous stretch of basketball that has fans dreaming of playoff success.They will get a great chance to test just how far they're capable of advancing when they welcome the Eastern Conference-leading Celtics to town on Monday night.

The New York Knicks defeated the Boston Celtics, 109-94, on Monday night at Madison Square Garden.The Celtics may have come into MSG with the NBA's best record, but they certainly didn't look like the better team, as the Knicks built a double-digit lead in the first quarter and kept Boston at bay the rest of the evening.

NEW YORK -- A frustrating night for Jayson Tatum ended early, as the Boston Celtics superstar was given a second technical foul and his first career ejection with 3 minutes, 46 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter of a 109-94 New York Knicks victory on Monday at a sold-out Madison Square Garden."I don't know," Tatum said, when asked what led him to get ejected in this game, compared to past times he already had a technical foul.

The Knicks continued to roll on Monday night at MSG as they took down the Boston Celtics 109-94 to extend their winning streak to six.New York has now won eight of their last nine games and heading into Wednesday night's clash with the Nets in midtown are a half game up on Brooklyn for the five seed in the east.
