Game 1 of the second round series vs the Pacers is Monday at the Garden.

Twice, Divo has forced Maxey left, and OG has stymied him at the rim.

That’s the blueprint.

So monumentally stupid.

When I say the Trump tax cuts were a scam, this is why.

'This may be Biden's Viet Nam,' says Bernie Sanders.
It's not the same. And the stakes are higher for our democracy.

Column: for the first time in 659 days with the #Knicks , Jalen Brunson’s approval rating is a tick below 100% after a tough end to Game 5. That speaks more to the impossibly high bar he’s set than anything else. He’s owned it. He’ll be ready for Game 6. nypost.com/2024/05/01/spo…

“Donald Trump is out on BAIL.” Yet corporate media ignores that and more as they normalize Trump.

'We need to call out the corporate media in 2024 for their normalization of Trump, a person who by all rights should already be in prison.'

It is moving day
Spring is here

To your wanderlust
In the city's dust you wait
Must you wait?
Just you wait...'

Game 6 of Knicks-Sixers is at 9pm on Thursday. Game 7, if necessary, will be at 7pm on Saturday. If Knicks advance, they would host Game 1 of the second round (vs either IND or MIL) on May 6.
