So definite with no explanation. You must be Chauncey or Cheeks.

Chauncey and Knight will start from game 1. Book it. KCP will be our SG of the future, but I doubt they start him out the gate.

Stuckey will not start.

Pretty sure I recall one of Joe D/Chauncey in the press conference saying that he was here to start. Regardless of who starts with him, he will be the primary ball handler. Count on Chauncey starting day 1.

As Joe D/Chauncey already reiterated...he is not simply here for feel-good moments or to be a player coach, he will play and I think he can still play at a high level. He should sit the second night of back to backs towards the middle of the season, limit him to 25-30 mins and I think he will hold his own. Chauncey's greatness has never been about his speed or athleticism...it was due to his shooting and basketball IQ. He still has that.

Honestly, his ability to recover during an 82 game season is a bigger concern than his actual play on the court. I think limiting his mins and giving him a game to rest every now and then will be key.

Pretty sure neither Joe nor Chaunchey decides or knows who's going to start.

Neither do you, which is ironic given the "Chauncey won't start" statement you just made.

A 41-41 record that clinches the 7th seed sounds about right.
