With their recent string of moves, the New York Knicks have basically set the table and laid out the red carpet for the arrival of Jalen Brunson. All he has to do is sign the contract once the NBA free agency period opens. But what about the Knicks incumbent All-Star Julius Randle? Randle went from […]

New York Knicks forward Julius Randle had a rather shaky 2021-22 season, but by the looks of it, he’s gearing up well for a potential bounce-back campaign. On Twitter, a photo of Randle is going viral–and for good reason. The All-Star forward can be seen looking leaner and in better shape compared to the previous […]

The Portland Trail Blazers’ historic post-All-Star tanking efforts didn’t pay off the way Joe Cronin and company imagined. All Portland has to show for its 2-21 finish to the regular season is the seventh selection in the draft come June 23rd, a stark disappointment for a team that entered lottery night with the sixth-best odds […]

Overall, the Toronto Raptors had a successful season this year. After starting the campaign at 4-14, they were able to turn it around and secure the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference. Their 48-34 record and the great number of lengthy defenders made them a frightening postseason matchup. Even so, they were not enough of […]

The magical 2020-21 season for Julius Randle and the New York Knicks feels like ages ago at this point. Randle was a deadly offensive threat last season, providing both scoring and playmaking from the frontcourt position. The Knicks forward parlayed that into an All-Star season and a spot on an All-NBA team. What truly opened […]

The New York Knicks will wrap up their 2021-22 season with a home matchup against the Toronto Raptors. This is a season that New York fans hope to forget. Almost everything went wrong and the Knicks failed to make the playoffs despite somewhat lofty expectations. Knicks president of basketball operations Leon Rose gave a rare […]

It’s been a downright disappointing season for the New York Knicks after such a promising 2020-21. Currently in 12th place, they’re already out of contention for the play-in, which means it makes zero sense to keep playing their starters if not at 100% health. That being said, head coach Tom Thibodeau has ruled out Julius […]

Just when they thought they were in, he pulled them back out. Julius Randle played this trick on fans of the New York Knicks this season. He shined last season and led the Knicks to their first playoff berth. For an encore, he performed much worse, profanely told the fans to shut up and put up […]

The New York Knicks doubling down on their 2020-21 core has backfired horribly. They nabbed Kemba Walker and Evan Fournier in free agency and brought back their key bench pieces in the hopes that it would work out. Now, Walker is away from the team and those three reserves they brought back have been disappointing. […]

Julius Randle has been all out of sorts this season. So have the New York Knicks. Both parties have failed to live up to the lofty expectations they set last season. They both share the blame for it. Rumors surfaced about Randle requesting a trade from the Knicks and displaying bad body language to show […]

The New York Knicks are in the middle of a four-game winning streak after upsetting the Chicago Bulls, 109-104 on Monday. But it seems Julius Randle still isn’t too happy.

A commotion broke out in the closing seconds of the contest between the New York Knicks and Utah Jazz last Sunday.

The New York Knicks will face a familiar foe on Tuesday night as they clash with the Atlanta Hawks, who knocked them out in the first round of the playoffs in 2020-21. Both teams are out of the playoff picture at the moment, with the Knicks losing three of their last five games. For a […]

It has been an underwhelming season for the New York Knicks, to say the least, and clearly, the frustration is getting the best of the players.

After a huge 2020-21 season that saw them make the playoffs, the New York Knicks were largely expected to make a step forward in their bid to return to title contention. After all with an All-Star in Julius Randle and rising stars in the likes of RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley and Obi Toppin, it looked […]

The difference between Julius Randle’s 2020 and 2021 seasons are night and day. Just last year, New York Knicks fans thought that the former Lakers lottery pick has finally found his groove, earning his first All-Star nod. However, this year, Randle has regressed significantly, going from All-Star to just a “meh” player. Add to that […]

The New York Knicks’ loss to the Phoenix Suns was humiliating for several reasons.

Julius Randle provided some more embarrassment by getting ejected in the […]

With Chris Paul and Devin Booker both sidelined, the Phoenix Suns need players to step up and keep the team rolling. Against the New York Knicks, Cam Johnson did just that. With career-highs of 38 points and nine 3-pointers, Johnson had the best game of his professional career. He scored 21 points in the final […]

The New York Knicks tour of embarrassing losses continued against the Phoenix Suns. Cam Johnson posted career-highs in points and 3-pointers, including a buzzer-beater from deep that stole a Suns victory.

Derrick Rose has been out of action for months now following an injury to his right ankle.

The campaign of the New York Knicks has been turbulent, to say the least. After an inspiring run last season, the team has failed to build on its momentum despite getting key pieces. Bearing the brunt of all the heavy criticisms is Knicks star Julius Randle. He has been serenaded by boos and jeers all […]

Nothing has gone right for the New York Knicks this season. They have gotten much worse after seemingly figuring out how to win again.

After last year’s incredible showing, many New Yorkers hoped that the Knicks would be back to relevance.

The Knicks dropped to 25-34 with the loss, which is 3.5 games behind the 10th-seeded Atlanta Hawks for the final spot in the play-in tournament. As […]

On paper, the Los Angeles Lakers with Russell Westbrook joining LeBron James and Anthony Edwards should have been a juggernaut right from the start. Instead, fans of the franchise are left wanting more from this core of aging superstars. As a result, the Brodie’s NBA card stock has taken a hit in the market, much […]

Julius Randle’s future as the lead star of the New York Knicks is dwindling. He has enjoyed a mediocre season following his stellar 2020-21 season and lengthy, expensive contract extension.

The New York Knicks have not played as well this season as they had planned after making the playoffs only a year ago. With a record of 24-28, they are now the Eastern Conference’s 12th seed. There are certainly places for improvement, and the Knicks’ top priority will be to go out and get a […]

Cleveland Cavs guard Rajon Rondo has made an NBA career out of doing the unexpected. Rondo’s wizardry as a passer made it seem like he had eyes in the back of his head. However, the veteran Cavs guard has also been known for his savvy play both on and off the court, as evidenced by […]

The 2022 NBA trade season should be a busy one for the New York Knicks. To say that they have disappointed this season is badly underselling it.
