Not-very-serious (but maybe a little serious) conspiracy: this is a political move to appease STAT. Set him up to fail so you have a reason to keep him the f**k on the bench.

Calderon - Marshall
Shumpert - Dudley
Anthony - Middleton
Stoudemire - Jabari
Acy - Henson

how has the new offensive system looked for the knicks ?
do the players fit ?
does it look forced ?

Jason Kidd returns! Gonna be interesting to see who's fortunes are better, Brooklyn or the Bucks?

The Bucks sport a lot of athleticism starting with Jabari Parker, one of the most hyped players by Lebron and KD. We'll see if they were just blowing smoke.

The Bucks also have two of my favorite overrated players:
1. OJ Mayo
2. Jared Dudley

Starrting should be

Melo
Shump
Calderon
Acy
Dalem

the bench is a mixed bag and they still need to figure that out.

Brandon Knight (groin) and Zaza Pachulia (hamstring) will not play against the Knicks on Monday.
Knight has been out for over a week now with his strained right groin, but there's still hope for him to play in the season opener. Kendall Marshall hasn't played well sans Knight and is shooting just 4-of-15 in his last three games, so Knight still looks like the favorite to start at point guard. Knight is only a late-round target due to a lower upside.

Al Iannazzone ‏@Al_Iannazzone 5m5 minutes ago

Amar'e said he feels 19 again.

Ian Begley ‏@IanBegley 5m5 minutes ago

Amar'e on playing defense at C vs. PF: "Either way you've got to lock down. My goal this year is to become a better defensive player."

yeah. it's been fun and all but...i think this is it for me. go head and ban me now.

Chris Herring ‏@HerringWSJ 5m5 minutes ago

But he couldn't defend at that age, either. RT @Al_Iannazzone: Amar'e says he feels 19 again.

well damn

Ian Begley ‏@IanBegley 4m4 minutes ago

So the starters havent come off the court behind in the score since they put acy in the starting lineup, lets see what happens with amare in the starting lineup. Ill give amare the benefit of the doubt for 1 pre-season game.

Offensive balance. Defense is a team scheme.

You can't keep putting Melo in there alone on offense.
