Julius Randle is in need of a rebrand once again, struggling to find the night-to-night consistency needed to guide the Knicks and their new talent infusion. Could he be better served being a boat than an island?

After taking one step forward vs. the Pacers on Monday, the Knicks took two steps back vs. the lowly Magic, dropping yet another home game to Orlando and falling to 1-2 against one of the league’s worst teams.

The Knicks faced a gut check in one of their biggest early-season tests and passed, holding the Pacers to 10 points in the fourth quarter en route to a gutsy 92-84 win.

The Knicks’ defense this year has been bad. But just below the surface, they’ve actually been very similar to last year’s top-three defense over the same span. Could the Knicks be on an eventual path to defensive competency again this season?

Kemba Walker exploded early, but the starters once again faltered late, offering the Hornets a chance to come back at home that they gladly took on their way to a win over the Knicks.

Big 3s aren’t always of the LeBron/Wade/Bosh variety. If we look to the past, sometimes the key finishing piece to a great team is just a player that does the dirty work and provides a spark. Could Immanuel Quickley and Obi Toppin be that for these Knicks?

Despite a furious rally from the Knicks reserves, the hole dug by the listless starters and the barrage of threes from the world champions proved too much to overcome.

Fifty years ago, Earl “The Pearl” Monroe became a New York Knick. Although he would cement himself over time as an all-time Knick legend, it wasn’t easy, or even likely, for Monroe to reach those heights in New York.

Obi Toppin’s sophomore campaign is off to a fantastic start, putting to bed most fears about his game prior to his being drafted. The only problem? He can’t seem to find the floor while playing behind the Knicks’ best player at his same position.

The New York Knicks are three games above .500 following their latest 106-99 win over the Philadelphia 76ers.

The Knicks dropped their third game of their last four to a revitalized Cavs team chock full of young talent, with a Ricky Rubio career night dooming New York to a 126-109 destruction.

In almost an identical early-game situation to their loss against Indiana on Wednesday, the Knicks flipped the script against the Bucks, staging a historically large comeback en route to beating the defending champs on the road.

The Knicks lost two games in a row. The sky is now falling, according to some. But with a little reflection, it can be appreciated just how good these Knicks’ start to the season has been.

Much like Schrödinger’s poor cat, Wednesday’s Knicks loss to the Pacers could have gone one of two ways. Regrettably, it went the way of the L rather than the W, and the Knicks found their first losing streak of 2021-22.

Once their calling card under Tom Thibodeau, the Knicks’ defense has waned this season as their offense has exploded. What has afflicted the Knicks’ once-vaunted D so far this season?

The Knicks took their foot off the gas yet again after a hot start to a game, and this time it burned them at home against a feisty Raptors team missing their two best players.

The Knicks held in there against a depleted Pelicans team, securing a win on the road to push their record to 5-1 behind a career high scoring night for RJ Barrett.

Jack Huntley is joined by Ariel Pacheco to break down some key plays and moments from the Knicks’ second week of action, featuring games against the Bulls and Sixers.

Late game execution almost doomed the Knicks after it looked like they were going to cruise to a win over the Chicago Bulls, but they held on for a one-point win over the previously-undefeated Chicago on the road.

The Evan Fournier experience has paid big dividends so far, replacing last year’s Reggie Bullock at the 2 with a more dynamic player as Julius Randle’s two-man game partner. But just how stark has the difference been?
