It’s like this every year, but this year I really couldn’t wait for the games to start, so much potential, and sky high confidence with them putting the right type of players around Giannis. The great thing is the chemistry can continue to grow and Horst can look for the right opportunity to put us over the top

Knicks board

Who the hell is Rollings?

random no name bum 8-11, 4-4 from 3 career high. only against us.

Better speed up the Giannis trade talks before it's too late

We blew a easy game

Giannis isn’t joining a dysfunctional team he can beat easily on the team he’s supposedly unhappy on

How about a Rollins, KPJ backcourt combo lineup every so often ?

If the bucks did that trade this summer, I would've became such a better dad this year. But I'll gladly exchange that to watch Giannis for a 100 games

Kuz should be easier to trade now, he has shown something
In reference to our title winning year

For a Rollins comp, I googled “poor man’s Dwayne Wade” and it returned Victor Oladipo. That feels very possible

Off ball he is as spacey as he's ever been. Is more engaged defending 1 on 1 and in the paint however so that's a good sign.

He keeps playing good defense and not taking a bunch of crazy shots he doesn't need to be traded.

We'll have some bad losses. But in the long run this is a fun team. And damn good.

And for all the flak Doc gets, whatever he said and whatever adjustments were made at halftime worked perfectly.

Kuz really busted his ass defensively which was great to see.

Nice thing about the PG trio we have is that two of them are long so you can definitely play 2 of the 3 together.

Could see the rationale of starting KPJ and Rollins together. Could see the rationale behind bringing KPJ off the bench as primary scorer. But I’m too intrigued by his upside to not start him.

Before the season I was prepared to buy tickets whenever I was in the office downtown to see Giannis while he's still here. Tix might not be as cheap as I thought if they keep this up.

With Packers being good the value is still there. Even the warriors will probably drop below $30 to get in the door.

it's one thing to play like that against the Hornets. it's quite another to do what Rollins did against the Knicks.

he took a leap. offensively and defensively. he's doing a little bit of everything and he's playing with confidence.

the question to ask now is not "Rollins or KPJ?" It's "Between Green and Trent, who sits?" Because both Rollins and KPJ are much better than Trent and Green and they are compatible. KPJ is more of a natural point guard and Rollins is great off ball.

let's take it another step further... how does this look?

We're going to annoy the crap out of fanbases when we beat them. Knicks fans calling us the Tune Squad with Michael Jordan lol. Lot of young guys are going to make a name for themselves this year.

We need to find a shot blocker for the second unit, read into that what you may
