Jazz 108, Knicks 94 : “That got ugly real fast”
Chris Nicoll-USA TODAY Sports If only NBA games were three quarters instead of four... Perhaps as we age past a certain point in life, we’ve seen too much nonsense to indulge it anymore. Maybe raising children changes us, as all the excuses, hedging and illogics of our own lost youth come back to haunt us in our own little ones. Maybe technology has connected us too well for too long, and certain big lies are just too blatantly absurd to buy into anymore. All I know is I find myself now more than ever falling back on Occam’s Razor when I try to make sense of...

Jazz 108, Knicks 94: Scenes from an epic second-half collapse
Chris Nicoll-USA TODAY Sports 24 good minutes ain’t enough The New York Knicks let a 13-point halftime lead cascade out of their hands in the third and fourth quarters, as the red hot Utah Jazz steamrolled them en route to a 108-94 victory. Let’s start with the good. RJ Barrett played a hell of a game, scoring 17 points on 7-11 shooting. RJ forced to the baseline, snakes it back middle and hits Gobert with the nasty left-foot + left-hand finish. Released the ball a beat before Gobert expected. Beautiful move. pic.twitter.com/IXRb406N7Y— Tom Piccolo...

Game Thread: Knicks at Jazz- 01/26/21
Wendell Cruz-USA TODAY Sports Can the Knicks stop the red hot Jazz? The New York Knicks look to avoid a three-game losing streak as they take on the Jazz in Utah. These jazzmen are on an insane hot streak and haven’t lost since the Knicks beat them a few weeks ago. They’ll be out for revenge. They haven’t released the starting lineup yet, but unless Reggie Bullock is healthy it’ll probably be the same five guys who started the last game. The game’s at 9:00 PM on MSG. SLC Dunk is where you can find Jazz stuff. Don’t post any big images or illegal streams. Be...

Rumor: The Knicks are interested in Derrick Rose
Photo by Jason Miller/ OAKAAK again Am I a throwaway line in a gossip column somewhere? I wonder. I know I’m not specifically mentioned in anything. I just wonder if somehow, somewhere, someone tossed some pithy line about a guy who happened to me. Maybe they called me a bystander that saw something, or a weird onlooker who wouldn’t respond to our questioning. Today the Knicks were weirdly looking over at a situation, not saying anything, and then Sham Charania threw them into his gossip column. The Pelicans, viewed as a key team in NBA trade market, are...

Game Preview: Knicks @ Jazz, 1/26/2021
Photo by Nathaniel S. Butler/NBAE via End of the road... trip New York walks feebly into Salt Lake City on the edge of losing three out of four games on their westerly road trip. Despite coming dangerously close to stealing a win in Portland, the Knicks have looked very shaky for long stretches against the Blazer as well as the Kings. In both games reverting to an uncharacteristic (for this year) amount of iso-ball. They have almost no solutions for zone defenses and the league has taken notice. If there is any hope to be brought into this game it’s that the Knicks...

Calling all January P&T mailbag questions
Sam Sharpe-USA TODAY Sports Get it while you can. Welcome to a new month, a new year, and a new mailbag invite. The nation sits on a fine line between the fast-acting poison recently voted out of office and the slow-drip skull with the better smile now back at the wheel. The Knicks sit on a fine line between “maybe they are good enough for .500 or a play-in game” and “just a three-game losing streak away from activating the Panzer divisions.” It’s a weird year. New York has blown out Milwaukee and Boston, bested Utah and Golden State and fallen to Oklahoma...

Trail Blazers 116, Knicks 113: Scenes from the game Immanuel Quickley nearly saved
Craig Mitchelldyer-USA TODAY Sports 31 points for the rook. There was a great deal to hate about the Knicks’ 116-113 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers. The supposedly formidable Knick defense gave up 70 points in the first half, and they trailed by 20 for much of the contest. The defensive dynamo that is Elfrid Payton (sarcasm alert) couldn’t stop Damian Lillard, who had 15 points in the first quarter. That rascally ex-Knick Enes Kanter thoroughly out-played Mitchell Robinson and even played some good defense on Julius Randle. But forget all of that for a moment,...
