If KP plays today, Hornacek says he might start at the 5 with Melo at the 4. Finally!
Knicks don't do day 2s of back to backs- hard to conceive of us being worse than yesterday, and yet...
KP unavailable. Glad they are taking no risks.
Rose, Baker, Kuz, Melo, and Noah starting today. Wow.

Yeah no point is rushing him back again. Just let him get EXTRA rest and fully heal. As much as I know he wants to play gotta save him from himself.

I think Jeff wants to try and see if he can get more scoring off the bench when he starts subbing guys out. He's gotta spread his scoring out a bit and it might help Lee to get more shots being with the bench unit.

Baker "runs" the offense...lets Rose be more of a shooting guard?
Will be interesting to see how this works and how many minutes they actually let Baker play. He is also on the floor for D, I would assume.

Yeah I must say this changes my interest in this game quite a bit. I hope this works cuz I think Baker needs to be developed and have a clear role. This could be something where he can be that GLUE GUY for the starters. I hope so.

His ball handling has improved a lot since we saw him in SL. I think he is quite happy being a glue factor on offense.
How much will he defer to Rose and Melo and how much will he attempt assert himself on offense. He is one of those young guys who you see coming in and directing where people should move on offense. Not sure that always works with guys like Melo and Rose, who are set in their ways, but we will see.
Would hope to see him get 25 minutes, minimum.

Definitely worth a try..I thought about that a while back as well..Giving him a chance to be the guy that makes the extra pass like JKidd did a few years back..Lee off the bench gives him more opportunity to score...
Kuz over Holiday...Coach always goes offense over defense...

It's obvious that this move is to address Rose woe's as a PG as well as defending Schroeder. Baker is faster, better on defense.

Dwight out. If Knicks lose, they're officially a joke.

Baker 0-3 on the first possession!! LOL.
Clyde already trashing the Knicks defensive scheme. 10 minutes to go in the first quarter.

Baker is guarding Bazemore.
