Jalen Brunson had an off night down the stretch against Indiana, but was his decision-making poor on top of his execution? I went back and examined the last 10 minutes of Knicks Pacers to show why some of the criticism has been unwarranted: knicksfilmschool.substack.com/p/f-around-a...

JO-SE, JO-SE JO-SE JO-SE....JO-SE...JO-SE.... Some thoughts on the debut of a Brooklyn kid born to be a Knick, a precocious 20-year-old turning heads, and the Knicks best defensive performance of the season: knicksfilmschool.substack.com/p/super-sunday

Among every player in the NBA who has never made an All-Star team, no one has been with their team longer than Mitchell Robinson. Last night, he gave us a reminder of why he should be a Knick for life. Not that we needed one. knicksfilmschool.substack.com/p/crazy-eighth

For today's KFS Newsletter, contributor Jonas Plaut tackles the topic of the NBA's Secondary Star, and why competing factors have suddenly made their value - to their teams and around the league - extremely tricky. knicksfilmschool.substack.com/p/knicks-tra...

As far as Get Well games go, you won't find many better than what the Knicks did to the Nets last night. knicksfilmschool.substack.com/p/a-win

The Knicks best player is...Deuce McBride? That's what the advanced stats say. In today's special edition of the KFS Newsletter, former Mavs & Suns analyst Jerry Engelmann explains why our gut feeling about Deuce has been right all along. knicksfilmschool.substack.com/p/deuce-mcbr...

Do the Knicks have a distribution problem? Their recent win in Portland featured the most even shot distribution of the season. Is it a hint at what they should be doing differently? I dove into the numbers to find the answer. knicksfilmschool.substack.com/p/egalitaria...

LOTS of big takeaways from last night's Knicks win, including the return of Josh Hart, a season-best performance from Mitch, some great 4th quarter defense, and of course, a certain All-Star who wasn't on the court for the close of the game. knicksfilmschool.substack.com/p/blazing-a-...

Really fun deep dive into some potential Knicks guard targets ahead of the trade deadline by Jonas Plaut today, including the rumored Jose Alvarado, who checks boxes both on the court and on the balance sheet, but doesn’t come without questions. knicksfilmschool.substack.com/p/knicks-tra...

You'll read a lot of Knicks trade deadline stuff before Feb. 6, but you won't read anything as good as this. In today's KFS Newsletter, Jonas Plaut gives an overview on how & why this deadline will be Leon Rose's most challenging & important one to date. knicksfilmschool.substack.com/p/knicks-tra...

I was in MSG when the Spurs held a trophy at the Knicks' expense in 1999, so last night was a long time coming. And while it doesn't make up for '99 or 53 years of futility, don't let anyone take away your joy as a Knicks fan today. This one was for us. knicksfilmschool.substack.com/p/champs

Some initial thoughts on where today's Giannis Antetokounmpo report leaves the Knicks, why it doesn't help their cause, and what (if anything) they'd need to do to get in the race for the 2-time MVP (and whether it would be worth the trouble). knicksfilmschool.substack.com/p/breaking-t...

Thanks to Gallo for: A) being a good, fun Knick that gave fans hope, albeit too briefly B) several years later, helping me land @howardbeck.bsky.social as my first big KFS guest after Howard and I went back and forth on social media about whose contract was worse, Gallinari or Tim Hardaway Jr.

How have the Knicks shot relative to expectations during each of their first 14 games? Let's tak a look at the Synergy shot-making data to find out. What conclusions should we reach?

In today's KFS Newsletter, I dug into the Knicks' thoroughly mediocre defense, what they've done well and not so well, and why there's cause for optimism even as they continue to give up 3's by the boatload. knicksfilmschool.substack.com/p/sowhats-th...

Good Morning, Knicks Fans! Here are your unapologetic Morning Announcements for Thursday, November 20:

Good Morning, Knicks Fans! Going to start posting my Morning Announcements here every morning. Here’s today’s edition:

Thinking about the last 4 years' worth of Knicks drafts today after Mike Brown used a 7.5-man rotation vs MIA. What % of the blame for the lack of good young prospects lies with the necessities of building a win-now team, what % lies with difficulty of nailing late picks, and what % is valid blame?

In today's KFS Newsletter... - A look back at KAT's masterful first quarter vs Miami - What will the Knicks do with OG out? - A special Thanksgiving announcement, and - Today's edition of "It Ain't the 90's Anymore" knicksfilmschool.substack.com/p/og-down

Less than 48 hours ago, I compared him to a ham sandwich and a sweatshirt from the Gap. This morning, I only have one question: Where were you for the Landry Shamet game? On a night that no one who witnessed it will soon forget: knicksfilmschool.substack.com/p/lan-sanity

In today's KFS Newsletter... - Remembering Michael Ray Richardson - Assessing Landry Shamet's surprising early season role - Who should start for as long as Jalen Brunson is out? knicksfilmschool.substack.com/p/crisis-ave...

June 30, 2019 still seems like yesterday to me. Which is what made last night at the Garden that much more enjoyable. knicksfilmschool.substack.com/p/picking-on...

It's never too early to dive into some stats. After 8 games, I took a look at all the notable numbers for the Knicks across the board, including a few that might surprise you. knicksfilmschool.substack.com/p/10th-of-th...

Wrote about the Knicks' shot distribution today, and how for all the talk about a more equal opportunity offense, things have actually gone in the other direction. So why does it still look so much better? knicksfilmschool.substack.com/p/knicks-sho...

Because why not, yesterday I went back and rewatched all of KAT's 2PA's from the 2025 postseason to try and figure out how to get him back on track. Here's what I found: knicksfilmschool.substack.com/p/more-than-...

For the better part of a decade, we’ve been wondering which coach & roster would finally and fully unlock Karl-Anthony Towns. What if we’re asking the wrong questions? My thoughts on a frustrating night in Milwaukee… open.substack.com/pub/knicksfi...

The Knicks are taking a ton of threes. Is that a good thing? That depends on who you ask. open.substack.com/pub/knicksfi...

Opening Night is always one of my favorite newsletters to write, and this Knicks season opener is even more special than most. Even with the injuries, I explain why the start of this journey is unique, and just what is at stake in the months ahead. knicksfilmschool.substack.com/p/already-ba...

This convo was a blast. Really appreciate @mikevorkunov.bsky.social for having me and everyone should subscribe to this show, he’s so good at what he does.

Wrote a whole lot about the Giannis / Knicks story, focusing on how we got here, where this is likely to go, why the Knicks are wise to keep barking up this tree, and how they could actually land the plane. knicksfilmschool.substack.com/p/a-murmur-i... knicksfilmschool.substack.com/p/giannis-tr...

Because I'm a glutton for punishment, I dove into the Knicks' player rankings on ESPN's NBA 100 and decided whether they were too high, too low, or just right. knicksfilmschool.substack.com/p/espn-top-1...

In honor of “One Battle After Another” - a perfect movie by my estimation - I wrote about the Knicks biggest imperfection and how they fix it. Plus, some thoughts on the early immaculate vibes of camp. open.substack.com/pub/knicksfi...

Went into the vibe shift we’ve seen early in Knicks camp, plus some thoughts on how New York’s biggest flaw last year was their inability to accentuate their greatest strength (and how Mike Brown has talked about fixing it) open.substack.com/pub/knicksfi...

Well, it's (un)officially a new NBA season, so why not commit to getting back involved on here? Let's start with today's KFS Newsletter, where I have overreactions, under-reactions and appropriate reactions to all things Knicks media day. knicksfilmschool.substack.com/p/knicks-med...

Some thoughts on ex-Knicks Head Coach Tom Thibodeau… open.substack.com/pub/knicksfi...

Really good stuff from @jadubin5.bsky.social here, particularly the deep dive into potential matchups and the ramifications that come with all the possible outcomes.

Might just have to reread my favorite sports book in recent memory before Wednesday.

New Yorkers today.

For whatever it is worth, I did not need to see this series to know that Indiana is very, very for real. Petrifying team.
