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.

Good Morning, Knicks Fans! Here are your Morning Announcements to start Thanksgiving week…

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.

Good story on Josh Hart from @herringnba.bsky.social www.espn.com/nba/story/_/...

A few minutes into the second, the Bucks have to be…kinda thrilled this is a 7-point game?

OG Anunoby is making a leap. That much we know. How is he doing it? I went through all of his made field goals from the last 10 games to find out. knicksfilmschool.substack.com/p/the-og-anu...

TONIGHT… NYK vs POR | 6pm EST | Madison Square Garden Join @jonathanmacri.bsky.social LIVE after the game for a full recap on the KFS Postgame Show! TUNE IN: buff.ly/n7DL7rW

Remember when the Bucks owned the Knicks for a decade? Me neither. open.substack.com/pub/knicksfi...

Halftime: 60-49 Knicks over Bucks. Opportunistic half for New York. Took advantage of everything Milwaukee gave them. Nice to see Mitch back in form. Great Delon Wright revenge game so far. And maybe most importantly, as aggressive as we’ve seen Mikal Bridges as a Knick.

It’s always an absolute pleasure to talk hoops with @herringnba.bsky.social. Got into big and small picture Knicks stuff before reliving our “where we were” when the Luka news broke. Oh, and I give Chris life advice. LISTEN: open.spotify.com/episode/5ksv... WATCH: youtu.be/qulTgKOKGdQ

And there it is: the 10th assist from Karl-Anthony Towns, and the first time in Knicks history 2 players have a triple double in the same game, and KAT joins Josh Hart.

Incredibly appropriate that Josh Hart’s record breaking 9th triple double of the season comes on an offensive rebound.

KAT vs Naji Marshall. Not quite Bird v Magic, but it feels like that through one half. 68-all. Crazy offensive half for both teams.

Silly stuff from KAT so far tonight. 16, 6 & 6 in 13 minutes. Mavs don’t know what to do with him.

The great passing continues for the Knicks, with 13 assists on their first 14 field goals. Unfortunately, this has been a defense optional game, and Dallas is now hitting 74% from the field. Generally soft stuff from NY on that end. Down 33-31 as a result.

Well this is the best start to a game the Knicks have had in quite some time. Cutting their way to the rim, pinpoint passing leading to easy baskets. 12-5 over the Dallas skeleton crew.

Not basketball-related, but worth your time. Kudos to you, @jesstradiol.bsky.social
