Through the first few games of the 2017-18 season, it has provided much adjustment for third-year forward Kristaps Porzingis in an increased offensive role as the No.1 scoring option.

The New York Knicks are bad. That’s’ a very elementary way to describe the Knicks, but apt nonetheless. That being said, they are a bunch of professional basketball players you would at least expect to come into games having memorized and understood plays and the game plan. Apparently, that’s not the case for New York. […]

Prior to All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving being traded to the Boston Celtics over the offseason, the New York Knicks were lurking as a possible landing spot.

Kristaps Porzingis is a hard worker. The New York Knicks star worked out a lot during the offseason to build more muscle ahead of the new campaign. However, Porzingis might need to lighten his workload going forward for the sake of his long-term health. Porzingis spent the offseason in Spain to try and solve the injury […]

The New York Knicks are 0-2 to start the season, which is not much of a surprise given the absence of consistent production on their team, particularly at point guard.
