The Knicks survived the scare of all scares when Jalen Brunson went out in the first half, only for New York’s hero to return and secure a Game 2 win vs. Indiana.

With the East as wide open as it’s been in years, there exists many different potential opponents and outcomes for the Knicks heading towards this year’s playoffs. Let’s look into the crystal ball and assess all the options on the table.

The Knicks’ 2020-21 season is gone, but it won’t be forgotten any time soon by those that were along for the wild ride.

The Knicks and Suns both returned to the playoffs this year after long droughts… but are the two teams intrinsically linked through a series of shared players, coaches, and opportunities both missed and taken?

The Knicks lost to the Hawks at home in Game 5, putting a cap on their 2020-21 season. But now isn’t the time for frustration — it’s the time for reflection of how much the Knicks accomplished this year, and how much more they (hopefully) have yet to come.

Despite their best efforts, the New York Knicks have suffered a gentleman’s sweep (4-1) at the hands of the Atlanta Hawks with their Game 5 loss.

The Knicks are facing elimination, down 3-1 and returning to Madison Square Garden. Can they turn things around and force a Game 6?

The New York Knicks dropped their second straight game against the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday, falling into a 3-1 hole in their first round playoff series. 

This game isn’t necessarily a must-win, but staring a potential 3-1 deficit in the face needs to awaken a sense of urgency in the Knicks. What adjustments do they need to make to tie things up headed back to New York?

The Knicks travel to Atlanta after a rousing Game 2 victory at home tied the series at 1-1. Can the Knicks snag a game on the road and reclaim home court?

At times this season, Obi Toppin was near unplayable, and Julius Randle a game-altering superstar. In these playoffs, it’s been Obi’s that’s shined in his minutes, while Julius had struggled to find his footing. Did Julius learn from Obi’s style of play, leading to his second half breakout in Game 2?

Julius Randle’s first six quarters of his playoff career were not pretty — he looked like a shell of himself. But could a transformative second half in Game 2 against the Hawks set the tone for Randle and the Knicks the rest of the series?

The Knicks’ 2021 playoff debut didn’t go quite as fans wanted, with the team narrowly losing down the stretch to the Hawks. What lessons can the team take from the first game to get ready for the second?

The Hawks had the ninth-best offensive rating in the regular season, and only got better once Nate McMillan took over as head coach. What should the Knicks be on the lookout for as Game 1 looms tonight?

The regular season is over… but the Knicks aren’t! The Strickland’s staff got together to preview the Knicks’ first round playoff series against the Hawks.

Dallas Amico introduces The Strickland Test, a very complicated and extensive legal process in which he will determine the legitimacy of concepts the Knicks could hope to employ in today’s NBA. Today: a Tom Thibodeau staple, “icing” pick-and-rolls.
