Jalen Brunson 2024: The makings of a 1A
In a season where so many sought to put a ceiling over Jalen Brunson, the Knicks leader shattered each & every one, revealing new horizons for player & team
Knicks 138, Pacers 129: This game was fun as fuck
The Knicks were short three starters and it didn’t matter — this group of young players is ready to annihilate other young cores any given night.
Raptors 113, Knicks 103: “I think they just played harder than us, honestly”
The Knicks took their foot off the gas yet again after a hot start to a game, and this time it burned them at home against a feisty Raptors team missing their two best players.
2021-22 Knicks Season Preview: RJ Barrett
Burdened with being the highest Knicks draft pick since Patrick Ewing, RJ Barrett made big strides as a shooter and a defender in his second year in the league after an up-and-down rookie year. Does his third year hold a star turn, or a continued gradual rise?
2021-22 Knicks Season Preview: Kemba Walker
A free agent surprise that almost nobody saw coming, Kemba Walker represents perhaps the best point guard the Knicks have rostered since Walt “Clyde” Frazier. But he doesn’t come without concerns, namely, the injuries that forced Boston to pay to ship him off. Do the shortcomings even matter at his current price point, though?
The Knicks may not improve next season (and that’s OK)
The Knicks’ breakout fourth seed season is definitely the start of something special — but could next season actually feature a bit of a regression? Short of a huge splash in free agency, it might — and it’s not a big deal.
Knicks 106, Clippers 100: Postgame Reaction
The Knicks needed a win, and gutted one out in Los Angeles against a tough Clippers team on the road, pushing their way towards a top-6 seed and a guaranteed playoff berth.
Knicks 123, Hawks 112: This dude here
Julius Randle scored 44, RJ Barrett bounced back, and the Knicks beat the Hawks at home on Monday night for their third straight win.
Why keeping Julius Randle is the right move for the Knicks’ present and future
Julius Randle is having a career year, ascending to likely All-Star status. Yet some are of the belief that trading Randle now would be the best move, since this team isn’t ready to contend yet. Shwinnypooh lays out the case for retaining Randle.
Knicks 109, Wizards 91: “The Wizards are really bad”
Mitch broke his hand after a fantastic first half and the Knicks looked listless at times, but ultimately came away with a victory against the Bradley Beal-less Wizards behind the play of Julius Randle, Derrick Rose, and more.
Knicks 105, Celtics 75 “IQ is a fucking angel”
The Knicks ended their five-game losing streak with a bang, crushing the Boston Celtics on the road in a 30-point romp. Shwinnypooh gets you caught up on the latest Immanuel Quickley tour de force, RJ and Randle’s big day, and the best game of Obi Toppin’s career, among other things.
Knicks 113, Hawks 108 “It feels so good to want to win games again. ECF!!!”
The Knicks rolled into Atlanta to close out a tough road trip, and rolled out with a huge comeback win. The dynamic duo known as “Quivers,” along with kick-ass performances from Julius Randle and RJ Barrett, pushed the Knicks over .500 seven games into the season. Shwinnypooh recaps the W.
Knicks 95, Cavaliers 86: “What the hell has gotten into Randle?”
The Knicks went on the road after a big upset over the Bucks, and Julius Randle delivered a triple-double en route to the Knicks’ second straight win. Shwinnypooh catches you up on the highs and lows of this early-season slugfest with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Knicks’ patient and prudent approach requires an eventual payoff
While the Knicks had, on paper, a smart and sensible offseason, Shwinnypooh writes that, at some point, they need to be ready to pull the trigger on a bigger move to make the team better, and capitalize on the potential that the previous front office could not.
Weaponizing the Knicks’ cap space: A Brock Aller fever dream
Shwinnypooh looks at four players the Knicks could sign this offseason that could help them out in the near term, but also provide value down the line as trade chips to send to a contender for sweet, sweet draft picks.
