Maybe, Just Maybe, The Knicks Might Have A Functional Defense
The Knicks did not luck out, which is basically an evergreen sentence. Their lottery pick did not leap into the top three, which had only a six percent chance of occurring last night. It instead landed at nine, as expected. I feel a little good about this. ...

What Comes After Kristaps For The Knicks?
What Giannis Antetokounmpo did to the Knicks was cool as hell and involved leaping over an entire man. What Giannis’s torso did to the Knicks, due to purely incidental contact, was as ghastly as that was cool: Kristaps Porzingis landed awkwardly after dunking over him and tore his left ACL....
What Will Giannis Do To The Knicks Tonight?
To the very long and constantly growing list of Giannis Antetokounmpo’s skills, please add “Knick-killer.” Last year, in three games, he averaged 28.0 points, 10.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 2.3 steals, and 3.7 blocks.

Lauri Markkanen Beat Kristaps Porzingis At His Own Game
Remember the end of the last Knicks season, when Phil Jackson, having totally alienated and depressed the trade value of Carmelo Anthony, hinted that he might go full demon and undo the only good thing he’d ever done, drafting Kristaps Porzingis?
