Let's get it oooooooohhhhnnnnnn.
Drinking game with "Triangle"!
I would say the key to the game is gonna be controlling Chicago's fast break opportunities. Run the offense, take smart shots, then get back on D and in position following a miss. Melo can score all he wants in a half court game, Rose needs the break to do most of his damage so feed Melo and take Rose out of the game.

I think Rose is going to be guarded by Shumpert
I expect D-Rose to be D-Rose
We have to keep guys like Taj, Mirotic, and McDermott from going off
And or course hope this guy sits out
CHICAGO -- Bulls swingman Jimmy Butler remains questionable for Wednesday night's regular-season opener against the New York Knicks because of sprained ligaments in his thumb. Butler did not practice on Tuesday, but he did continue taking jumpers with a taped-up thumb."I feel better," Butler said. "Go put some ice on it here now and see how it feels in the morning."
Butler initially injured the thumb in a preseason game against the Charlotte Hornets on Oct. 19.
"My thumb has to be able to hold up," he said. "I think that's the most important thing. I think obviously everybody knows that I want to play, but I don't want to rush back too early."
As for the ongoing contract negotiations in regard to Butler's potential extension with the Bulls, the 25-year-old says he is trying not to focus on that. The deadline for Butler to sign an extension with the Bulls is Oct. 31, and if he does not sign he will become a restricted free agent this summer.
"To tell you the truth that's really the last thing on my mind," Butler said. "I really could care less right about now. I just want to be healthy. I want to play the game that I love to play. To this point, a contract, money, absolutely has nothing to do with anything on my mind."

He has 12 million reasons a year to bend over. Like a geisha, for the very first time.

To what degree has yet to be determined. That's why we play the games, like tonight's opener.
I made it through the wilderness
Somehow I made it through
Didn't know how lost I was
Until I found you
I was beat incomplete
I'd been had, I was sad and blue
But you made me feel
Yeah, you made me feel
Shiny and new
Like a virgin
Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin
When your heart beats
Next to mine
Oooh, oooh, oooh
To me these first 5 games will say a lot of what we are and what we are not. My goal for the first 5 is 3-2 with good competitive play. I can accept 2-3 will good play. 4-1 will be an incredible surprise and 1-4 or less will be on target for the computer picks.
Jimmy Butler out for Chicago.
F***! I had in my head Cleveland on Thurs / Chicago on Friday. Ah well...dinner plans were made to be broken.

If they can beat Chicago with Butler out and Washington with Beal out, I'd still take those as wins and very positive signs.
I'm sort of planning to cover my eyes for Lebron's homecoming to Cleveland. That could be ugly.
Yea we are going to get smoked in Cleveland. Lebron's homecoming. He's gonna be pumped, the crowd is going to be going bananas. I will gladly take a win tonight. Some way somehow
This is so exciting!!! I'm so pumped for a new NBA season and the Knicks 1st home game of the year. There are so many new things to look for this year. It's good to have some new players, new coach and new system this year. I'm looking forward to a season of growth and establishing a new culture for this franchise. It all begins tonight!!! #ISeeTriangles
