Projected line ups:

Jackson
Bradley
Johnson
Harris
Drummond

New York

Sessions
Hardaway
Lee
Porzingis
Kanter

Tough stretch of games coming up so a win today is crucial. I want to see Kennard and Ellenson both get minutes tonight. Hopefully we can get a comfortable lead before the 4th so we can play the youngins.

Heres a game that still haunts me

Is SJ not playing in this one or something?

Why is it assumed Leuer is starting? Is it because of SJs back or the Porzingis match up?

I'm wondering the same. I doubt SVG changes the starting lineup because of a matchup though. I don't foresee him changing the starting lineup at all unless we make a trade or go on a big losing streak.

Boban would probably drop 50 points on Kanter

Kanter might drop 60 on Boban

If they play like they have been the past few games, this should be a win. Curious to see how this team does against lesser competition on the road. Last season, they always squandered these types of games.

Especially on B2B's. Andre is historically bad on them. Reggie is probably going to be rough given that he's still trying to get in shape. Stanley is banged up, etc. We'll probably need big games from Avery/Tobias and the bench.

Just seems like a trap game.

it is back to back so I think we will lose this game but I am really hopeful about this team. I don't know why. Drummond has solved FT issue, how about defense?

Drummond has been really aggressive the first two games defensively and the refs have punished him for it which sucks.

I hope his energy keeps up. Tonight is a really good litmus test as he has(as someone else stated)sucked on back to backs.

No reason he can't have a great performance tonight against the Knicks bigs.

True Andre struggles a bit on back to backs, but he barely played last game so it should be ok lol

Andre played limited minutes in both our games so far, I think he will be fine, I`m more concerned about Reggie and Tobias.
