I saw Raptor OG hold Spida to single digits once a couple years ago. But if KAT takes Allen doesn't OG need to guard Mobley?

Coaching change is likely an upgrade for them. I dont like that we don't have either Achiuwa or Mitch for this game but it is what it is.

Will be a good test to play a team with a bit of a different dynamic and see how they do defensively.

Yeah, and it should be interesting to see how KAT handles their front court. Im hoping he is able to dominate them.


Big Bodega was playing a pretty good Center in Turner. He blocked once or 2x and went hard to the basket on him a couple times. Between Thibs and the best big man coach in the game I think we are going to see a pretty nice player here. Its still early though in the acclimating process though here. Sometimes these things can together fairly quickly sometimes it takes 20-25 games.

Mobley is iffy offensively. We may be able to guard him at times with Hart even. Hart is very stout and has guarded mutliple 4s in some games depending on the switches.

If Pacers missed a bunch of uncontested 3s Id be more worried. Sure Pacers had a few uncontested but we contested a much much higher percentage than we did vs the Celts. As long as we maintain our agressive perimeter defense I am not super worried.

Just stay level headed Knick family...Our chemistry hasn't even clicked yet. It's just the 3rd game of the season.
I want a win just as much as the next ---

McBride prime opportunity for major minutes.

Thibs preferred Hart as a starter BECAUSE the perimeter switching system of Hart, OG and Mikhal allowed great freedom for 3 of our 5 starters to aggressively switch to guard almost every position on the court.

McBride is limited to 1s and 2s.

Rest him.

This is not the season to try to maximize the shot at any RS win at the expense of long-term goals.

Ankle? Wasn’t he holding his hamstring all game, I don’t remember him injuring his ankle. This better not be one of those initial Knicks injury reports that make it seem like nothing serious but then turns into something a lot more serious.

Anyway this might be the opportunity Deuce needs, same way Donte got his opportunity.

I'm kind of concerned that Mikal's shooting form looks so good he's going to steal touches from Brunson and KAT
