What has led to RJ Barrett having such an up-and-down sophomore season? Is it him? His surrounding personnel? The playbook? Jack Huntley examines the film to try to get to the bottom of sophomore year RJ.

The Knicks got above .500 at the latest point in the season since 2013. By game’s end, they were playing like the fourth seed that they would be after their record settled at 18-17. With each passing game, they play that part even more convincingly.

The Knicks are on another three-game win streak. They’re over .500 for the first time since they were 5-4 in early January. The Knicks are back.

The Knicks are back to .500. Can they get over that mark for the first time since Jan. 8, at 5-4? The Pistons and recently-traded Dennis Smith Jr. stand in the way.

The Knicks are .500 — 17-17 — through 34 games, almost the halfway point of the season. Relive a most enjoyable win, featuring Julius Randle owning a fellow All-Star, RJ Barrett coming up big, Nerlens Noel playing a marathon second half, and Frank Ntilikina securing the W with a game-winning steal.

The Knicks are winners of two straight and back to .500 after RJ Barrett and Julius Randle carried the team and Frank Ntilikina came up in the clutch. The Knicks are the fifth seed in the East!

The Knicks had one of their most rotationally-pleasing games on Thursday against the Kings. Can they keep that magic going against the Pacers? It probably depends on the health of one Elfrid Payton.

How do RJ and Elfrid stand up against starting backcourts in the league? Could Myles Turner make more sense than Mitch? What if the Knicks got Seth Curry instead of DSJ in the KP trade? All that and more in this installment of the mailbag!

The Westchester Knicks are back in the playoff picture in Orlando, winners of three straight heading into this weekend. Can they keep their hot play going behind Iggy Brazdeikis and Jared Harper?

The Knicks scored a season-high in points, Frank Ntilikina made his (very successful) return, Immanuel Quickley broke his slump, Derrick Rose and Alec Burks both were on fire at different times, Julius Randle played like an All-Star as always… This was just a fun game.

The Knicks scored 140. Frank Ntilikina got his first run since 2021 started and did great. Quickley broke ALL the way out of his slump. Alec Burks went bananas. Julius Randle got his. Joy. Just unfiltered, uncontrollable joy.

The Knicks look to get redemption on the Kings from their road trip loss to Sacramento a few weeks ago. Who will take the place of the injured Elfrid Payton tonight? And who will soak up backup minutes?

The midrange shot is generally derided in the modern NBA, but Julius Randle has built an All-Star campaign on the back of that very shot, placing himself in the company of some of the best midrange assassins in the game while buoying the Knicks’ offense. Benjy Ritholz breaks down the nuts and bolts of Julius’ midrange come-up.

The Knicks lost to the Warriors last night, but you should’ve seen that coming. If you didn’t, step into Prof. Miranda’s classroom for a lesson. Here’s the syllabus.

The good: Julius Randle is an All-Star, it was pretty cool hearing fans chanting at the Garden again. The bad: This game stunk, the refs stunk, the Knicks couldn’t shoot.

Fans return to Madison Square Garden tonight as the Knicks aim for a second straight win against the Warriors. Is that necessarily a good thing?

Alec Burks has quietly been producing at a solid rate this season off the bench for the Knicks, a vital cog in the second unit. But could the best move be to trade him, as it has been for his last few teams in recent years?

The New York Knicks followed up an uninspiring performance last Wednesday with yet another in Sunday night’s victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Knicks nearly blew a 21-point lead for their second straight loss… but they didn’t! They beat the Timberwolves at home and got back to within a game of .500 behind huge performances by Julius Randle and RJ Barrett.

The Knicks are well-rested and get the worst team in the NBA visiting Madison Square Garden shorthanded. Can they get back to their winning ways?
