No Rose no Kemba. He would prob start Burks which is mad predictable but I’m fine with so bench kids can play together.

We could finally get to see IQ start and Mcbride get some real minutes off the bench.

We can see some extended minutes getting a look at the trio of McBride/IQ/Grimes. All three can shoot and defend.

It may best serve us to get blown out several times over the next run of games on the schedule. We need emphatic losses to get Thibs to reevaluate.

Not for nothing, but this so-called rivalry seems forced. It’s kinda cringe-worthy how it’s being played up.

They found their franchise player in the draft, and built around him.

The Knicks built around two wildly inefficient players who force the issue and are delusional about their abilities.

The Hawks punked and exposed the Knicks in the playoffs. And Leon Rose thought "Let's bring these guys back - Evan Fournier (who never made it past the first round either) will be the difference". Delusional.

The Knicks are even softer this year, so I expect a blow-out and maybe some finger-pointing.


They've reached the conference finals twice in the last 6 years with two completely different cores. They basically tore down a team that went to the ECF and hit the reset button at the right time when they knew they weren't going anywhere. Knicks looked at last years team and thought the pieces were there to build on it :nonono:


It's fake news. Hawks never decided to tank after hitting the Conferences Final.

The Hawks lost their 2 best players Horford and Milsap in FA because they are a small team. If they had decided to rebuild they would trade them for assets.

Then, after a 24-58 season, they traded Dennis as well, getting Melo salary dump contract for a lottery-protected FRP.

People love to see RJ if he is not totally cold like his last 10 games.

Burks is deserving the start role he is playing really well.

It would be a really tough assignment for Grimes and Deuce going against the excellent Hawk starting unit. It may be better to give them some minutes off the bench. They are not ready yet.

People dont want to see Kemba and this version of Evan.

With this aged and injury-prone roster...Knicks could realistically end up having 6 main guys out at the same time for a stretch and become forced to play young guys and accidentally tank. Zero cares given.

We were fairly injury free last season, and feasted on teams that had injuries or covid outbreaks, now the bill has come due.

Obi might touch 18 minutes but Taj would probably be back or something.
