As Francisco Álvarez goes, so go the Mets. That could be very, very good news for the Amazins & their fans.

Are the newest Knicks are exactly what the team needed?

@mrtoots.bsky.social crunched the numbers on Jordan Clarkson & Guerschon Yabsuele to present FIVE GRAPHS that may prove exactly so.

“Everything’s pretty good with the Knicks. That’s no good!”

@matthewmiranda.bsky.social’s latest, on how the past few weeks in Knicks Land feel a little too good, the unprecedented becoming the inevitable, and some long-awaited joy in Mudville:

The Knicks selected French wing Mohamed Diawara at No. 51

Diawara, 20, is 6’9 with a 9’2 standing reach. He struggles with shooting and dribbling but has great size and defensive versatility. He’s close friends with Pacôme Dadiet.

Winning may be more fun than is fun, but without fluidity there can be neither.

To win it all in 2026, the Knicks must realize every game is different. @mrtoots.bsky.social broke out the numbers to explain why in his latest:

Tom Thibodeau broke Leon Rose’s rules.

@prezidente.bsky.social’s latest: a top-down breakdown of why Tom Thibodeau’s exit wasn’t a spur-of-the-moment reflex, rather a culmination of Thibs’ slow departure from Leon’s vision:

The Knicks moved on. Why won’t the haters?

@matthewmiranda.bsky.social’s latest, on why firing Tom Thibodeau wasn't a a rash decision & certainly wasn't a mistake:

June 13, 2025 at 7:38 PM
“The firing of Tom Thibodeau was not remotely surprising, though it was shocking.”

The news of Thibs’ firing sent shockwaves through the fanbase, and @matthewmiranda.bsky.social tries to make sense of it all in their latest feature.
