The Knicks Recap: A New York Knicks Podcast

Mike Brown's defensive strategy allowing opposing teams to shoot the best version of threes for them. The defense NY is playing is called "Shifting" defense and today we take a look at exactly what that is and review the film to see how it operates in practice. Not only do we find a major issue, we also highlight the main reason this is causing the Knicks to give up the 2nd most threes i...

THE KNICKS WERE ROBBED! Could the Knicks have played better? Yes! Could their defense have picked up at the right time? Yes! Could the Knicks have passed the ball and hit their shots more? YES! All of that is true BUT the Knicks were robbed by the refs during a critical final play. Karl-Anthony Towns' play continues to be a detriment to the Knicks when he forces shots up or cannot get by his defen...

The Knicks may have won the game last night but that isn't the way a championship contender should play against one of the worst teams in the league missing half of their team. The Knicks allowed another poor 3-point shooting team to catch fire from three against New York. If that wasn't bad enough, the Knicks were missing everything all night, including wide open threes and a number of free throw...

We have received more information about Mitchell Robinson, his trade value and his future with the Knicks.

The Knicks, without two of their two key players FOUND A WAY TO GET THE JOB DONE! The Knicks dropped 140 points on the Miami Heat for another amazing home win, but to do this without OG Anunoby & Jalen Brunson is something else entirely. We needed Karl-Anthony Towns to step up, he did. We needed the bench to come through in a way we've never seen before, they did. But more importantly, we need...

The Knicks have made secret moves involving the Knicks front office and we are only learning about them now! These updates are probably obvious but never publicly disclosed until very recently. But it goes to show you that the New York Knicks know the people that are responsible for the success they have achieved over these past few seasons and why they are contenders today.

We FINALLY have an update on Jalen Brunson and his ankle injury he suffered against the Magic during last night's game. Thankfully, the news is good or at least as good as can be expected right now. But Brunson will absolutely be missing time which means... TYLER KOLEK needs the opportunity to be NY's backup PG... Troy Mahabir breaks all of this down! SHOW CHAPTERS: 00:00 - Intro 00:14 - Presented...

The Knicks put together one of their worst performances of the season against the Orlando Magic, they were outplayed in every single way, especially defensively. The Knicks attempted a number of comebacks but weren't able to close in on any of them because the Knicks couldn't compete in defensively. But even worse, they lost the Captain in the process. But Mike Brown also decided to Bench a starte...

THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING! NOT TO THE CAPTAIN! NY Knicks superstar Jalen Brunson suffered a severe ankle injury against the Orlando Magic late in the 4th quarter and left MSG on crutches and a walking boot.

THE KNICKS CONTINUE TO MAKE HISTORY! The Knicks set a new franchise record for 3-pointers attempted in a game by dropping 55 threes. New York took control of this game from the start and continued to dominate throughout the game. However, during the 4th quarter, Memphis made a strong run, nearly cutting the Knicks lead to 7. But NY held on to win the game thanks to a number of strong performances...

Mike Brown has the Knicks playing some of their best basketball we've seen in years but what if I told you that a lot of what we see has nothing to do with Brown running plays? In fact, according to the new head coach, Brown is having the Knicks run, read and react more than anything else and eventually, wants them to always play that way. But there is a method behind the madness that we take a lo...

Mike Brown just made a decision no one expected. When hired, Brown had different expectations on him, depending on who you asked. But winning a championship was definitely one of them. The other? Developing the young Knick players. But as of late, Brown has tightened his rotation and some players are only seeing garbage time minutes. But the Knicks have been very successfully working this way. How...

THE BALL MOVEMENT WAS INCREDIBLE! This Knicks team continues to get better and better each game. It's not about WHO they beat but rather HOW they beat them. The Knicks offense was amazing all game long but it was really their defense that took them to another level in the 2nd half. But the duo called Wingstop proved why they can be so deadly in the league. When they are playing off of one another,...

THIS IS INSANE! When is too much too much? When will we all admit that the line has been too severely crossed over the last few years? Players put on a show for our entertainment but the second threats are made, no matter how, that takes things to a level it should have never gone. We need to have more respect for players and what they do, versus thinking they owe it to us to do something special....

The Knicks are planning another huge move! According to reports, the Knicks still have a level of desire to acquire a backup point guard.

THIS IS A MAJOR UPDATE! Mitchell Robinson, who didn't receive an extension with the Knicks this offseason, is reportedly set to explore free agency. This puts New York in a very tricky situation. On one hand, the Knicks want to retain Mitchell Robinson given his impact when healthy. But the Knicks can only pay Robinson so much money, likely not the exact contract he'd want. The hardest part with M...

We've all seen it at this point, the viral clip that is going all around right now. Showing Karl-Anthony Towns dunk all over his former teammate Anthony Edwards. After the game, Edwards spoke about the viral moment and jokingly called out his teammates to send help when he's in that position because there wasn't anything he could do. I'll review this dunk from every angle, even in slow motion. Thi...
