The Knicks owner is urging New York’s business elite to abandon Gov. Kathy Hochul.

lowkey been thinking about it a lot and i want to hear from others. 1-100 what do you think the chances are of drummond holding down the backup 5 spot to where the knicks don’t have to make a trade in season?

5. New York Knicks (48-34)

Let me cut to the chase and then work backward: I would probably give the Knicks the best odds of any of the East’s 15 teams to make it to the finals. It’s just not clear to me that they’ll have the best record in the 82 games that precede the ones that matter.

It’s plausible that any of my top seven teams finish the year with the conference’s top seed — including New York — and unpredictable factors such as injuries and close-game luck may end up tipping the scale. But in a playoff tournament, different things matter, and the things that matter most are the strength of the starting five and the schematic vulnerability of the weakest links. New York grades out very strongly in both areas, which is no surprise given its dominant run through the 2026 playoffs (and, less discussed, a pretty strong performance in 2025, as well).

As I noted already, not a whole lot has changed for the Knicks, in terms of the roster, except that everybody is a year older. So, our median expectation for the regular season would be a slight decline from last year’s 53 wins. That’s especially true given the downgrade from Mitchell Robinson to Andre Drummond at backup center and the overall age of the roster.

Aside from the Karl-Anthony Towns extension drama, the in-season story for the Knicks will be how they handle the back half of the roster. New York only has two true centers and otherwise would turn to … OG Anunoby? … as its third big. (A third big may emerge from the replacement-level flotsam invited to compete for the last roster spot at training camp, but probably not one you’d be excited to put in a game.)

This team was playing at a 58-win pace after the All-Star break. If that 2-9 stretch hadn’t happened, they would’ve been on pace for a 56-win season. Yes, I know it happened, and I think it made us better, but I can’t see this team going through something like that again after winning a championship. Yes, they’ll face adversity, but I don’t think that adversity will come in the form of another 2-9 stretch. I also think people are underestimating how much continuity and chemistry a championship can bring to a team. Everyone on this roster knows their role, and Mike Brown has a system in place that’s already built to succeed and can continue to expand. Personally, I could be wrong, but I think we’re going to win 56+ games this season. Do you agree or disagree?

That NEW Larry Smell.

Beat a Spurs fan, big comeback, huge final puzzle win! Was very cool to watch!

#1 deserves to happen. #2 is crazy

G’day! Coming to NYC from Australia and have been gifted a ticket in the bleachers for the opener. Can’t be more excited.

Wondering how to make the most of the experience? Best place for pre / post game? Other tips? Go Knicks

Any season ticket holders here having a terrible time getting responses from the generic season ticket membership email now? I noticed we don't have those fan experience options (pregame shootaround, free swag etc) anymore to add on and reached out to ask and crickets.

Obviously due to all the rep layoffs etc but curious if other people have had better luck or know if those things just won't happen anymore.
