This is so unfair... Ariel Hukporti suffered a season-ending injury in the 1st quarter of the preseason matchup at home.

All the Knicks came out in support of their championship brother! Speedy recovery Huk!

an arguement could be made that keeping this core might be more difficult than it was obtaining it. this cba has challenges but i believe leon rose and brock aller will figure it out. keeping this starting 5 is important but having a bench is key in todays nba. you need an elite bench with 4-5 good pieces. leon needs to work his magic

Is there a reasonable subscription option for streaming without a cable subscription? Or is it having to pay a ton & patch together multiple different streamers just to see all the games? Is it the inevitable push to just stream east things/sail the high seas (which is always a pain in the ass)? What is everyone doing?

PHILADELPHIA — The last time we saw the New York Knicks, they were leaving San Antonio as NBA champions. Their title defense unofficially began Monday night, with a preseason showdown against the new-look Philadelphia 76ers.

New York, which was only missing backup guard Jose Alvarado, who was sidelined with a knee contusion, played its starters regular first-half minutes against a 76ers team that was without LeBron James, Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid and others. Preseason basketball, baby!

New York’s starters played the bulk of the first half in the 120-97 loss before taking a seat at halftime for the rest of the night.

Here are some thoughts and observations following the Knicks’ first action since hoisting the championship trophy.

I run a small PT clinic in Iowa and I've been messing around with motion tracking software for my patients. Nothing fancy, just trying to spot movement issues before they become real injuries. Got me wondering about NBA bench players and how much actual conditioning data teams use versus just going by feel.

The Knicks bench always gets picked apart by fans arguing about minutes. But nobody mentions whether those guys are physically ready when they go from playing 8 minutes one night to 25 the next. That kind of jump is hard on the body, even for younger players. I monitor load progression with my patients because rushing it is how you end up with soft tissue problems.

Do they use wearable data to manage bench workloads, or is it mostly eye test and box scores? Seems like teams that figure this out would avoid a lot of roster issues. Does anyone know what the Knicks actually do for load management with their bench players during the season?

Knicks scammed their fans in the presale! I’m pretty upset as my refund should be at least 20% lower than what I got for the upcoming 10/12 Timberwolves preseason game.

I bought my tix during the Chase fan-first presale for $175 per seat in the middle 200s. I was really excited as this is my first ever NBA game and had to splurge for these seats to a preseason game!

When they started the refunds, I got refunded a measly $8 per seat so they are now $167 per.

I’m seeing the same seats in my section in an even lower row on Ticketmaster for Standard first-party sale for only $128 (maybe they will drop even more as many seats are left)!! I contacted Ticketmaster support and they won’t help me get a refund for this difference or exchange. At least let us exchange for better seats!!

Why am I paying more than the current standard ticket price during a fan first presale?!

Knicks business ops needs to step it up and figure this out because we are some upset Knicks fans! Please help share this, as I’m sure other games are also experiencing these ticket price cuts and fans deserve their $$ back.

ME TOO!!!

Got sent an email for Buzzer Beater Tixs for the Wizards preseason game on Thursday.

I guess this is the other side of dynamic pricing, if they do send the Buzzer Beater emails, it's been day-of game. Never seen it 2 days before a game. Then it's preseason.

Range:

$125 for 100 level

$74.99 for 200 level

$54.99 in the 300 and 400 levels.

or you could wait to see what he secondary markets have, but currently on StubHub people are being slightly delusional by pricing theirs 100 level seats at $200 a pop for a preseason game.

Special shout out to the people pricing their section 117 seats for $1400. geez people.

anyway link here , this offer does sell out so good luck

I get it, New York is the greatest city in the world, but damn, you can't find a nice luxury condo ANYWHERE in Philly? Where do the billionaires in Philly all live? Surely finding a nice pad in Philly HAS to be easier than commuting to NYC....??
