- Just reading lips here, but believe he says to assistant, "Who reported it?''
- Kevin Knox said he wants to stay ready and help the younger guys like Obi Toppin. Toppin is older.
- I asked Tom Thibodeau if he agrees with Nate McMillan NBA prefers the Knicks in the playoffs and Jeff Van Gundy's former assistant said he didn't get that impression when league suspended six Knicks in the Miami series for taking a step off bench in 1997.
- So much for the amazing culture former Nets Coach Kenny Atkinson built in Brooklyn, prompting Irving, Durant and Jordan to choose them over Knicks. Everyone is so full of it in this new NBA.
- Star PG D’Aaron Fox continues trolling Knicks fans tonight by posting video of his steal and windmill dunk at Garden. Only thing I can come up with is Fox jealous he’s not playing in NBA’s most exciting city and works in NBA’s dullest.
- Today is first day of Knicks training camp. And my last day covering Knicks for The Post after 23 seasons. Thanks for reading. Thanks for responding.My Final Shot: Improvement of Julius Randle & RJ Barrett - not Brunson - remain key to #Knicks reaching paradise #NBA nypost.com/2022/09/25/jul…
- Knicks analytics writer Fred Katz has mined a gem: Knicks gather 39% of missed shots in playoffs with MRobinson on floor. Pacers are mediocre rebounding team. Knicks, particularly Jalen, are money on shots off 2nd chances. Most vital stat of preseries hype.
- Knicks announce if there is a second round they will sell only to vaccinated fans for second round. Means a virtual full house with no socially distanced seating
- Knicks have moved playoff capacity from 13,000 to 15,000 for playoffs after quick sell-out. Per source, it is most in NBA and believed largest capacity for indoor sports in North America
- Last night in Memphis I saw fans wearing Knicks jerseys for J.R Smith, Patrick Ewing, Walt Frazier, Derrick Rose, RJ Barrett. Memphis in a pandemic with 2,000’fansThe Knicks don’t matter west of the Hudson River. The two lowest-rated Finals of the 90s were the ones with the Knicks in them.
- If you had no goal this past season, you should give the $18M you pocketed to charity. The Knicks won a lot of games after Thibodeau’s big decision. Your goal should’ve been rooting for your teammates. Put down the violin.Evan Fournier arrives at Team France camp. “I am impatient to play again…excited to come back to this team…fighting for a goal. This season, for the first time, I had no goal and it felt strange…This World Cup will be my launchpad” PS nice shorts
- Knicks were 5-6 after 11 games last season. They are 7-4 now. Anyone pushing narrative Knicks aren't off to good start, it's a reach. You are what your record says you are. And Sixers win was a darn good one on 2nd night of back-to-back without their two centers in 2nd half.
- Nets fell to 16-19 tonight amid the backdrop of Kyrie Irving’s uncertain shoulder and Kevin Durant’s uncertain Achilles’ tendon. If this were the Knicks.....
