Rambles from The Garden Robert Brunswick

First and foremost, I'm not mad at the Knicks for not pursuing Damian Lillard. But in the wake of his being traded, the team has surfaced as a group connected to some other ensuing deals, i.e., getting Jrue Holiday.



But it doesn't stop there. While the 76ers crumble under the pressure of James Harden, Knicks' fans desire to get Joel Embiid has come back to the foreground. Mitchell Robinson has been valued at two first-round picks at least, which has sparked a bit of curiosity, given the timing of the report.



Hear me ponder everything right here!

The New York Knicks got bounced in the second round of the 2023 Playoffs and only have Donte DiVincenzo to show for it this summer (so far). Other members of the blue and orange have seen themselves sent on their way, so the fanbase has begun to wonder about the direction we're headed.

Meanwhile, the NBA is changing, and we delve into those subjects here.

This season was a success.

The New York Knicks advanced to the second round and lost in six games to a Miami Heat team that is clearly built to withstand even the hardest of tests. The Phoenix Suns and Golden State Warriors were also bounced in the second round, so now Rob, Nick, and Carlos look ahead to what could be next season.


Brunson is him
Jokic is him
LeBron is a hoax

We get to take a deep breath this All-Star Break, as the New York Knicks enter the weekend with their best record (33-27) in 10 years.

Post-Trade Deadline, the Knicks are 3-1, and 3-0 when Josh Hart takes the floor. Jalen Brunson is averaging 32 points per game for the month of February, and Mitchell Robinson's return is on the horizon. The outlier: RJ Barrett. His presence has been a net negative and, rightfully so in my opinion, has been hearing it from the fans.

Can he turn things around?

Additionally, Julius Randle continues to prosper and gets in on some of the fun as a 3PT contest participant and All-Star... and he also does some recruiting?

Plenty more on the docket as well. Tune in now!

The New York Knicks make an exciting comeback, take a three-point lead, and let up a Nic Batum three-pointer to force overtime. The Clippers go on to win.

New York's bench played an instrumental part in this game, but the transgressions of RJ Barrett could end up being the ultimate factor of destruction in this contest. He has to step up big time to redeem himself, and the fans sure hope he does.

Ahead of tonight's matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers, the Knicks are 28-26 and slowly descending into dangerous play-in territory.

Since our last recording, the New York Knicks have climbed the standings to 28-25 in the Eastern Conference on the backs of All-Star, Julius Randle, and All-Star snub, Jalen Brunson.  Tom Thibodeau's job is safe for now, but there's still growing concern with his tenure here despite being the 9th coach to win 100+ games in the franchise's history.  Brought to you by @AnchorFM , we discuss the Knicks' future for the 2022-23 season, along with some fun trade deadline talks.
