On the day the Finals begin, the Celtics & Mavs are counting on two players once seen as Knicks saviors. Instead, the Knicks went elsewhere — to the benefit of all involved

The Knicks and Celtics haven’t met in the playoffs with both contenders since 1974. 50 years later, are we in store for a new chapter in the league’s oldest rivalry?

If this Knicks’ season is going to be special, it may well involve taking on the Celtics this spring. Here are a few takeaways from last night’s potential playoff prelude.

A new Knicks season began with a late loss to their oldest foe

In this springtime of the Knicks’ voodoo, a rare stinker care of Washington

Faced with a should-win, the Knicks did.

A victim of a laundry list of transgressions by front offices prior to his arrival, Leon Rose unexpectedly found immediate success last season before a disappointing season this year. But is it too soon to start passing judgement on a “process” that has barely begun to take shape?

How do we evaluate the skills of draft prospects? How should we? Prez details how the 2020 NBA Draft provided some valuable insight on prospect evaluation for 2021 and beyond.

The Knicks extended their win streak to five games — their best streak in seven years — behind a 44-point herculean effort by Julius Randle and key contributions from RJ Barrett and Derrick Rose, besting the Mavericks, 117-109.

The Knicks got out to a double-digit lead, Obi Toppin was playing great, yada yada yada, the Knicks are back to a game under .500.

The Knicks head home, looking to stop their two-game skid and get back over .500. Can they do it against Luka, Porzingis, and the Mavs?

Welcome to our first Knicktion: Knicks-based fiction. In this first installment, Shwinnypooh and Knicks Illustrated imagine a world where Steve Mills didn’t pull the trigger on Kristaps Porzingis’ trade demand in 2019, setting in motion a chain of events that haunts Knicks fans to this day.

Obi Toppin’s rookie season has been unorthodox, especially by New York Knicks standards. But his time thus far preaches patience nonetheless. 

Vivek Dadhania takes you through the history of the Knicks in the lottery era, famously kicked off by the Knicks winning the Patrick Ewing lottery in 1985. Since then, the draft has not been kind to New York.

Matthew Miranda dives into your questions in the first ever Strickland Mailbag, tackling draft rankings, LaMelo Ball maneuvers, Obi Toppin’s fit, and rewriting history.

Shwinnypooh and Jeffrey Bellone look back on the Kristaps Porzingis trade a year and a half later and attempt to take an honest assessment of the deal that sent out a player once considered a future Knicks star, for better or worse.
