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.

NFL MOCK DRAFT 2026

DOM'S NFL MOCK DRAFT 2026 This 2026 Draft has all the makings of a memorable one. According to multiple sources, this could be one of the most trade-heavy draft days in recent memory. Even in an already unpredictable draft, projecting trades is borderline impossible, so I’ll mostly stick to the current order, mixing in a few where it makes sense.  Let's get into it. 1. Las Vegas Raiders: Fernando Mendoza- QB, Indiana It’s become a trend in my recent mock drafts that the No. 1 overall pick feels like a consensus no-brainer, and that continues here. All signs point to Mendoza as the choice. He’s an elite pocket passer and will have the benefit of learning behind recently acquired Kirk Cousins. The real question isn’t who they choose but how long it takes before Mendoza takes over as the starter. 2. New York Jets: David Bailey- Edge, Texas Tech  Last Wednesday, the Jets canceled their top-30 meeting with Bailey, leaving people confused and leading some to believe New York could b...

sin city statement

In what was the Giants’ most important game in three years, they took on the Raiders in the 2025 Tank Bowl, a matchup where the loser would control the number one overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. In typical Giants fashion, with the top pick on the line, they played their best football of the season. The win drops New York to the number two pick in the draft order, but there is still a path back to the number one selection. A loss to Dallas next week for the Giants, paired with a Raiders win over a suddenly lowly Chiefs team, could still flip the order. While a loss might have helped the Giants add draft capital, this win still mattered. Even against a flawed Raiders team, there were legitimate positives. Jaxson Dart looked comfortable, the defense made timely, game-changing plays, and the special teams unit had its best performance of the year. As I mentioned last week, since the firing of Brian Daboll, Dart had struggled to rediscover the rhythm he showed earlier in the season. Yes...
