Enes Kanter Celebrated LeBron James's Ejection By Getting Spicy Online<em></em>
Last night, LeBron James was ejected from a game for the first time in his 15-year NBA career. James claimed he’d reacted because James Johnson had fouled him “all the way up the court.” Referee Kane Fitzgerald explained he ejected LeBron because of a series of transgressions, including LeBron charg...
Kristaps Porzingis, Please Get Better At Falling Down
It turned out that LeBron James Did Ruin It For Me, Dammit, and in as direct a fashion as humanly possible, but that’s okay, it was a good game. However, it did reveal something troubling....
Enes Kanter, After Getting Punked: "Nobody Out There Gonna Punk Us"
There was nothing wrong with the Knicks getting all riled up over LeBron James’s assertion that the team would have been better off drafting Dennis Smith Jr. over Frank Ntilikina. It was even heartening to see young Frank get up in the King’s personal space last night, and to see Enes Kanter coming ...
Kyle Korver's Fourth Quarter Got The Cavaliers There
Tonight’s first half between the Knicks and Cavaliers inspired a bit of feeling that the Knicks might really be here: that their young talent could gel well enough to take down a top-tier talent like Cleveland, that Frank Ntilikina could be bold enough to shove LeBron around a little, that the team ...
Come, Bask In The Glow Of A Beautiful Moment
LeBron James and Enes Kanter briefly got into it in the closing seconds of tonight’s first quarter—a scuffle that was quickly broken up and didn’t result in much, but it did give us these beautiful photos of the incident captured by Elsa of Getty Images. ...
What The Hell Are You Doing, Peter Vecsey
General awareness of personal and social context is typically very important for any older white man who would like to go around quoting Notorious B.I.G. lyrics. Like, the below tweet was not a great context for former New York Post NBA columnist Peter Vecsey to try out this one:...
LeBron James Won't Ruin This For Me, Dammit
After the Cavs escaped the clutches of the league-worst Mavs—it was a two-point game with 36.8 seconds to go—LeBron James decided to offer a compliment so narrow in scope that it could reasonably be interpreted as an insult:...
Knicks Waive Half-Decent Player To Make Room For Moldering Skeleton
I suppose we should file this under Doing What You’ve Gotta Do:...
Kristaps Porzingis Sits Out, Says He May Need Elbow Procedure In The Offseason
Kristaps Porzingis, the centerpiece of the New York Knicks’ future, sat out his team’s game tonight—the second night of a back-to-back—as he nursed both a sprained left ankle and right elbow bursitis....
Cody Zeller, You Have To Retire Now, Those Are The Rules
Watching Kristaps Porzingis do anything is a delight. We could talk about his outrageous shooting, where he’s added volume but only increased in efficiency. We could talk about how players only shoot 35 percent at the rim when he’s lurking there. Or we could just watch this:...
Holy Crap, You Can Finally See The Shape Of The Knicks' Future
Kristaps Porzingis just began his third season, and somehow it feels like we’ve waited a decade for him to have a competent point guard. This is a more Knicks-wide crisis, decades in the making, involving a procession of washed, deluded, or otherwise bleak names: Stephon Marbury, (old) Baron Davis,...
Enjoy Kristaps Porzingis Chasing Josh Jackson Around Like An Angry Storm Cloud
The Knicks beat the Suns last night behind another incredible offensive performance from young Kristaps Porzingis. The Suns have looked frisky since the firing of Earl Watson—that doesn’t make this some great win, but it does help make the case that the Knicks are not, in fact, complete trash. No. W...
Turkish NBA Fans Are Being Spared Knicks Games
What’s the more notable detail from this SNY report: that Knicks games are apparently being blacked out in Turkey as part of the Turkish government’s ongoing hostility towards Enes Kanter; or that Enes Kanter expects the Knicks—currently in the NBA’s bottom 10 in both offensive and defensive rating...
Kristaps Porzingis Is All Right
This feels like a weird thing to say given how much attention has been paid to Kristaps Porzingis since he entered the league two seasons ago, but we are just now starting to see what the big boy can do—not because he’s suddenly unearthed some skills we were previously unaware of, but because he’s f...
Carmelo Anthony Explains Why He Screams While Rebounding
Arriving on a new team must be tricky; you’ve got to get acclimated to new surroundings and personalities. Happily it took Carmelo Anthony roughly zero regular season games to get comfortable screaming, “Get the fuck out of here!” at his teammates while gathering rebounds....
Let's Check In On The Knicks
With a 110-89 loss to the Celtics tonight, the Knicks dropped to 0-3. Here are some selected highlights....
At Least There's Kristaps
The Thunder look like they’ll be fun, and good. The Knicks are of course neither, but in last night’s 105-84 loss they were bad on a level that still managed to surprise. If you are a team with a hopeless season ahead of you but a small gaggle of bright young players, you might just invest in their ...
Carmelo Anthony's Son Told Him He Should Go To Oklahoma City
On the eve of the Thunder’s season opener against the Knicks tomorrow, Carmelo Anthony spoke to Marc Stein, now of the New York Times, about the process of switching conferences and leaving New York after six drama-filled and mostly pointless seasons. It has some good Phil Jackson burns that paint t...
Can The Knicks Defense Be Historically Bad?
A few weeks ago, while catching up on some Big Apple sports news, I came upon this incredible sentence:...
