“The Timberwolves traded Towns for Randle and DDV for financial flexibility. Period. It was never about getting the West runner-ups any closer to their first Finals.”

“…when your center scores 32 points on 12 shots, the opponent is under so much stress – they’re dead on their feet before they even know it.”
@matthewmiranda.bsky.social recaps a homecoming win in Minnesota for Towns and the Knicks.

"And Trae Young maintained his edgelord rep, the loser of two-thirds of his games at MSG bizarrely acting like he owns the joint."
Whether on Bluesky or at the "meh place" always read @matthewmiranda.bsky.social #Knicks
"For a Knick team with bigger fish to fry than a cash grab trophy, maybe losing last night does more for them than winning would’ve. Maybe the rest helps. Maybe they re-gather, reorient."
@matthewmiranda.bsky.social recaps an odd IST semifinals loss to the Hawks.

“In the story of the New York Knicks, where does a player who’s 6-14 against them all-time fall in terms of importance or notoriety? Do they? At all?”

The Knicks are crushing opponents more frequently than anyone else in the league! Read more of Miranda’s beautiful words on why 👇
“No one is hammering the league the way these Knicks are, and they could keep on keeping on for a while.”
@matthewmiranda.bsky.social writes about a New York team making (tidal) waves early in their latest:
www.thestrick.land/strick/the-k...
Compare them to the other top teams in the NBA today or the best Knick teams ever & the numbers come up the same: the 2024 Knicks are in the business of kicking ass, and business is good
“I don’t think the Knicks are anything to be worried about defensively, and if this is what the offense can do revved up after only two calendar months together, imagine the basketballing behemoth they could be by the start of the playoffs.”
