This is a rare occasion we're more disappointed at Giannis' availability than Pat's.

I genuinely despise him. Giannis might've actually been able to beat Pacers without Dame if we just played & started sensible lineups around him. But Doc is going to make 100% sure that doesn't happen. We've completely pissed away 2 years of prime Giannis with utter morons coaching the team.

That's precisely what he did last year when he benched Beasley with a few to go. And Bease performed a lot better than Kuz has. But Doc didn't acquire Bease. He wasn't even here at the time.

There's a lot less excuse for this even than if Giannis weren't available, cuz it would have been hard to figure out who to start at the 4 otherwise. Many are loathe to see the Bobby-Brook combo as well.

It is the dumbest possible starting lineup you can go with. It’s difficult to put together a more incompatible five players. Doc is a moron

Very cool that we are starting three power forwards while 3 of our 4 best bench players are guards VERY COOL

Knicks handling Detroit so far.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Tbf Prince is a SF, in no universe can a 6’6 player guard PFs consistently so it is that, but it’s still nonsensical to have one guard in the starting lineup.

Are we all on the same page that "Not just the best but the best that you've ever seen" makes absolutely no sense?

Almost every other team is creative in playing smaller because there is little downside but there is upside to being more mobile but we do the exact opposite and play bigger at the detriment of being less mobile for no upside at all

I hope this starting line-up has no more than 1-2 mins together before Doc heads to the bench.

Funny thing about this stupid big lineup is they probably don’t even rebound well.

Scintillating offense you've developed, Doc. :nonono:

This lineup has no chance of being successful. We are basically spotting teams 10-15 points every game playing this group together

This listless start hopefully does that.

Yeah this lineup just doesn't have any juice. We need one more guy to help ignite Giannis

Why are coaches so stubborn? Doc continues to put this starting lineup out that is a flat negative

It's such a flat-footed line-up.
