While Coach Mike Woodson has said that Jeremy Lin is "absolutely" going to be a Knick next season, Lin has been slightly more cagey about what might come next for him: "Personally, I think it would be great if I come back. But crazy things happen and I don’t really know what’s going to happen.” Now, there are reports that the Nets would love to steal Lin from the Knicks and transplant Linsanity to Brooklyn. At least that means he won't have to break up his new Entourage just yet. more ›

It was only three months ago that Knicks star Jeremy Lin was avoiding paparazzi and eager female fans at downtown club Avenue—Linsanity was fully underway when reports came out of him shunning champagne for Bud Light, leaving the club by the relatively modest hour of 2 a.m. The NY Post is sad to break the news, but that Lin is gone now—and all that is left is a party-hardy husk of swishing, dishing, and tipsy flirting. more ›

After an incredibly bipolar season filled with multiple injuries, coaching changes, a revolving door of starting lineups, ego clashes, superstars unable to play with one another, and a month of Linsanity, the Knicks' wacky season ended Wednesday night with a 106-94 loss to the superior Miami Heat in Game 5 of their playoff series. There seem to be a million questions hovering over the team now, already threatening to make their offseason as dysfunctional as this past season. Can Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire coexist? Will Jeremy Lin be back? Will Mike Woodson be coach? Will this lineup ever gel? And will Stoudemire ever help Shane Battier get up? more ›

Despite the mounting injuries and merciless defense of the Miami Heat, the Knicks were able to snatch Game 4 at MSG on Sunday, avoiding a sweep and ending their NBA-record 13 consecutive playoff losing streak. The Knicks are hoping to win tonight in Miami and push the series to a Game 6 back in NY on Friday—but with the losses of Jeremy Lin, Iman Shumpert and Baron Davis, the Knicks are left relying on Mike Bibby and Toney Douglas (who hasn't played once during the series) to lead the team at point guard. Oh yeah, and they'll also be playing a thoroughly pissed-off Heat team, and the ghosts of their recent past: "I just don't want to look at that fire extinguisher at all," Amare Stoudemire said. "But getting a win in Miami would be huge for us." more ›

[Updates Below] We've been there for every minute of this agonizing playoff series between the Knicks and Miami Heat—watched every Carmelo Anthony shot attempt, read about every fire extinguisher incident, listened to every absurdly confidant quote. And now we're exactly where we were last season, with a Game 4 elimination match at MSG. Amare Stoudemire is starting, bandaged hand and all—but will it make any difference? We'll be here to update the post through every high and low this afternoon. more ›

Last night was perhaps the cruelest playoff loss yet for the Knicks in this series against the Miami Heat: while game 1 was a blowout and game 2 was just glass-smashing, the Heat actually played really badly for a large amount of Thursday night at the Garden. LeBron James seemed to be doing everything he could in the first three quarters to give this one to the Knicks, yet they couldn't quite keep their first half momentum going, resulting in a thoroughly depressing 87-70 loss. Between their looming sweep and his lingering injuries, it's practically a certainty that Jeremy Lin won't risk more injury by playing in Game 4 on Sunday. But there is something he can do for the team: invite them over to binge eat his jersey made entirely of fruit-roll ups. more ›

In the wake of two bad losses to the Miami Heat and Fire Extinguishergate, the Knicks are not exactly in great shape heading into Game 3 at the Garden tonight. But even with no Iman Shumpert, Amare Stoudemire and Jeremy Lin, the team is still hopeful they can end their playoff win drought...somehow: “It’s a big challenge but we’ve been facing challenges all year,’’ Carmelo Anthony said after yesterday’s practice. “We all got to do it. I’m not going to do it myself. We just got to believe we can go out there and win the game. “They did what they had to do on their court. Now it’s our turn.” more ›

With one foolish penalty, Brad Richards helped undo a two-goal comeback he helped start, and the Rangers fell to the Capitals, 3-2. The center scored in the final minute of the first period but took a bad holding penalty at the 12:29 mark. That set up the game-winner from Alex Ovechkin, who was a much bigger factor than he was in Game 1. The series is tied at one game apiece, with Game 3 coming Wednesday in Washington. more ›

Well, that's one way to start a playoff series: the Knicks got utterly destroyed in game one of their playoff series against the Miami Heat yesterday afternoon. After a well-played first quarter, the game was never close again—the 100-67 final score doesn't even give you an idea of how pathetic it was. So all that confidence was definitely not justified. NY Times reporter Michael Powell has an idea of how they can win game two though: "Sign Ewing, page Oakley at car wash, ask Starks if he is still limber..." more ›

Are you tired of Tebowmania? Were you late to Linsanity? Well then here's your chance to jump on the next big thing in New York City sports—Kreidermania. Chris Kreider is quickly establishing himself as a star in the NHL, just ask Washington. Saturday, Kreider broke a 1-1 tie with a beautiful goal. He jumped into the play, received a great pass from Derek Stepan and blistered a slapper past Braden Holtby. Just a minute and a half later, he dug the puck out of the corner and setup Brad Richards for the Rangers third goal as New York took the opening game of their series with Washington 3-1. more ›

Why is Stoudemire in particular so confident in the team? He thinks they have more depth than Miami: depth. “Our bench has been phenomenal for us all season long," he told the Post. "We’re a much better defensive team than we were before. We have so many threats offensively to match their offensive threats. So it’s pretty much even as far as our startling lineup and I think our second unit is a little bit stronger.’’ more ›

The Knicks have looked dominant in their last two victories—they're reminding us of the early-00s Philadelphia 76ers, with Carmelo Anthony taking on the Allen Iverson role. Barring any insane meltdowns over their last four games, the Knicks will definitely be in the playoffs, most likely the seventh seed in the East (though ESPN points out it's still remotely possible they could leap over imploding Orlando for the sixth spot)—which means they're facing a marquee matchup against the Miami Heat in the first round. And the pre-sale for playoffs tickets starts today for Chase cardmembers. more ›

Who knew that the Knicks, battered and with an interim coach, could put on a thrilling Easter show against the dominating Chicago Bulls? Although New York was leading for the first half, Chicago regained its footing in the second. Still, the Knicks pushed Derrick Rose and the rest of the Bulls to overtime, thanks to Carmelo Anthony's efforts. And then Anthony had a three-pointer in final seconds of OT—finishing the game with 43 points—to seal the 100-99 victory. more ›

Maybe the Mayans were right about 2012: Isiah Thomas was fired by Florida International University as coach of their men's basketball team today. Thomas lasted only three terrible years with the school, finishing with a 26-65 overall record (they never won more than 11 games with him in a season). You may now assume the fetal position and commence the Isiah Thomas Is Coming Back To The Knicks And There's Nothing We Can Do About It speculation. more ›

The hobbled Knicks are trying to shake off a lousy come-from-behind loss to the Indiana Pacers coming into tonight's game against the Orlando Magic. With every injury and freakout, their hold on a playoff spot seems more and more tenuous. But thankfully, their woes have been overshadowed today by the Magic's: coach Stan Van Gundy confirmed to reporters that he knows perpetually smiling star Dwight Howard asked management to get rid of him. And then he and Howard shared a very, very awkward moment together. Watch the video below! more ›

The Linsanity has come to an end, at least for this season: Knicks sensation Jeremy Lin will undergo knee surgery to "repair a partially torn meniscus in his left knee." Time to blame Sports Illustrated, RIGHT? more ›
