Boston Massacre Part 3

    Following an embarrassing blowout loss in Cleveland against the number one seed Cavaliers on Friday, the Knicks had another opportunity to prove they could be contenders yesterday afternoon in Boston. The Celtics continued their domination of the Knicks with a 118-105 win in a game that was never really close. This game felt like more than just a tired team on a road trip, it felt like a team that was intimated.

As most of you know, over the summer New York gave OG Anunoby a massive 5 year $212.5 million deal to remain a Knick and sent five first-round picks to the Nets for Mikal Bridges in an attempt to take the team to the next level. Going into the season I had called the Knicks roster the ‘Anti-Celtics’, with the Knicks bringing in defensive wings to stop the C’s duo of Tatum and Brown it appeared they were constructing a team specifically to take down the champs. So far this season this couldn’t be further from the truth as Bridges and Anunoby have both fallen short of their expectations.

Sunday’s loss is just the latest of the Knicks disappointing performances against the league’s best. New York is now 0-7 in games against the Thunder, Cavaliers, and Celtics. And to make things worse six of the seven games were lost by double digits.

As much as I hate to say it, right now the Knicks are frauds. They beat up the bad teams, win competitive games against the good teams, and lose badly to the great teams. 

On the bright side, Mitchell Robinson is expected to make his 2025 debut this week which should help the Knicks immensely on the defensive side of the ball and maybe even open things up on the offensive end. That said, whether it be bad coaching, a lackluster bench, or poor effort, something has to change and it has to change now if New York wants to bring home the Larry O’Brian come June.

Houston is a Problem

In a wild NBA weekend, the Oklahoma City Thunder won the franchise's first-ever championship, Tyrese Haliburton tore his Achilles, and Kevin Durant was traded to the Rockets. As crazy as it sounds, the Durant news felt more important to me as an NBA fan than Game 7. The Thunder felt like a team of destiny all playoffs long, and after Haliburton went down, it all but solidified they’d become champs. But this article is focused on the next chapter of KD's career in H-Town. Yesterday afternoon, while on stage at Fanatics Fest in New York, Kevin Durant found out he had been traded to the Houston Rockets in exchange for the No. 10 pick in the 2025 draft, five second-round picks, Jalen Green, and NBA “villain” Dillon Brooks. (image via theringer.com) This marks the end of the big three of Booker, Beal, and Durant in Phoenix—yet another failed superteam on KD’s résumé. But this move to Houston feels different. Durant, who admitted Houston was at the top of his preferred destination li...

Sin City, Win City: The Knicks Hold the Cup

 THE KNICKS HAVE WON A TROPHY! Last night, the Knicks took on the up-and-coming Spurs in the championship game of the third annual NBA Cup Tournament  in Las Vegas, and walked away with hardware. Sure, not the one that everyone who bleeds orange and blue wants to hold, but you still can't stop me from celebrating! (via @nyknicks on Instagram) After carrying the Knicks to the title game while averaging 33 points per Cup game , Jalen Brunson started slow against the elite defense of Stephon Castle. While Brunson didn’t dominate the scoreboard the way he had earlier in the tournament, he still finished with 25 points and made the shots that mattered most in the fourth quarter.  With that said, this game was ultimately won by New York’s bench . Brunson summed it up perfectly in his postgame interview, "OG Anunoby, Tyler Kolek, Jordan Clarkson, Mitchell Robinson, they played their ass off. Without them, we don’t win this sh*t.”  And yeah, he's absolutely right. Down 10 i...
