Should be an interesting matchup, Knicks starting Burks and Rose should be back to stabilize the bench...
Nets are carried by KD who is simply the best player in the NBA not only with his scoring but his dishing and getting others involved has been spectacular..
Nets have been going more offensive starting lineup with Harden, Mills, KD, Bembry and Aldridge...Their defense isnt very good but Mills can light it up and Bembry is their dirty work guy...
KD going to get his 35 to 40, cant let the other guys go off to..
Should be a fun game
I'm really rooting for Randle to get back to his form from last year. Maybe a big game here is the spark he needs.
I literally started a thread about 2-3 weeks ago saying I thought KD was the best player in the NBA. Gun to my head, I'd still probably go with him. But Steph Curry is an absolute monster and easily has an argument as the best in the league. Just mind-blowing how loaded those Warriors were.
Rose off the bench. Fournier is still starting. Have to read 16 carefully. :)

Yeah, I read that too fast. That's why I was like huh?
The Knicks managed to trade Dennis Smith for Rose lol. If they want to trade Kemba they certainly can. I'd suspect that if he's really out for good, they will help him find a landing spot where he can play.
Burks is not my first choice for a PG but that's what we are left with.
I expect we will see a lot of Randle handling the ball which can be a disaster if he starts his ISO ball.
At what point does Thibs go to Rose with the starters and Quickley with the 2nd team?
I mean it just needs to happen at least to see if it works. I was really excited for this season and it feels in disarray that will end poorly. I hope I am wrong.

Small ball with Randle is fun to watch.
Well, I have some news then. Looks like Mitch, Taj and Noel all won't play. Will get some Jericho and Obi at the 5 tonight, I'd guess.

I dont think you will see Rose or Quick start this year unless there are injuries..
I think Quick could be the starter next year if the Kbicks dont trade for a point guard..
I like Burks with the starters, he doesnt need the ball to be effective, he can play catch and shoot or run pick and roll, he defends, rebounds, he is a good fit...Is he going to control the offense? no bit he can handle the point for the 12 to 15 minutes hr is on the court without quick or Rose....
Randle has rrally been moving the ball well lately, he hasnt been forcing to much, with the starters he doesnt habe to shoot a lot..
See also Noah, Joakim.
It feels to me like a high second round, with the Knicks paying a big chunk of the salary, or the other team doing a salary dump in exchange.
Thoughts?
Also, McBride has been having very nice games with Westchester. I wonder if the Knicks leave Quickley at the backup two, and give McBride some time as the third PG, especially against points that are a quickness challenge for Burks.
"McBride made 11 of his 25 attempts from the field - including 5-of-12 from 3-point range - with six rebounds, five assists, three steals and a blocked shot in 41 minutes. He scored 25 with five rebounds and nine assists in his only other game for Westchester."
He's the worst

Those are sweet unis.
