Knicks · Preseason Gamethread: Brooklyn starts it off (page 1)
There are other goodies to look out for starting with the rotation on bigs, which other guards step up, where some of these guys look in the rotation, etc etc... Looking forward. At this point Knicks are the only sports team I follow. Hoping for a meaningful season

Lmao
Agree. Pre Season means nothing. NO reason to make matters worse for 12 minutes of meaningless ball. Just to satisfy the impatient.
Tonight, just looking to see who lets the game come to them and who looks to force taking over as the "main guy". Know it will take some time but It will be interesting to see what type of roles each player is willing to take on.
As for the year....
Will KP play more in the post?
Who will other teams double team, if anyone?
Who steps up in pressure situations?
How will JH handle the minutes? We have several guys that are at similar level.
Who will step up and have a break out season?
Who will fans blame.
What number lottery pick do we get.
Should be interesting.

Three ??? = inability to recognize sarcasm.
But your right. That 12 minutes he played really says it all.

Groin is a pesky injury. No reasin to risk further injury as they take a long time to heal.
