corny title.
Martin needs to out his Rebecca love on this.
We get to see Mobley and Sexton.
Cavs are 6-4. Lets not take them for granted as fans as an automatic win.
Its early in the season, for us too!
Last I read Okoro is out, and Lauri Marrrrrkkkkkkkeeeeeennnnnen in the protocal. Not sure if a head bump or covid.
They been playing him at the 3. Talking heads were calling them out but they got at 6-4 so they earned a bit of cred.
Not many were saying they were playoff bound but improved from last year. They are in the East pack for now.
They play freaking huge. We need to run them out.
I don’t have the line on who is injured or if KLove is playing. That front line of Mobley and Allen is going to be interesting. I’d like to see more Obi as Randle will have his hands full if Mobley is as good as advertised defensively.
If Evan is not hitting, move RJ to the 2 to keep him on the court and a front of Randle/Mitch-Norlens/Obi in stretch. Too early to suggest Knox/Grimes/Duece get any minutes. Kevins length offensively is interesting as would McBride defense for 5 min on Sexton perhaps add some fatigue down the stretch.
First back to back. Kemba says he wants to play both. If we need Rose to be the hero again tonite does that inhibit him from being counted on in a back to back?
Curious how Thibs manages this. Odds are he don’t do much different.
Parity reigns in this NBA. Makes for good drama.

This game is big time for our Knicks.
We've got a chance. At home. Vs. Cleveland. To improve to 7-3 @ .700% after our 1st 10 games.
I'm expecting these Knicks to ride the momentum from an amazing comeback come from behind victory @ Milwaukee into this Cleveland game and come out strong and play on fire from start to finish.
GO NY GO NY GO.
7-3 @ .700% is the goal!

C: Mitchell Robinson.

Go BIG ON THEM WITH OUR TWIN TOWERS DOWN LOW.

Dude what are you HIGH on something, the game is being played faster and more on the perimeter, with 5 guys on the court that can knocked down 3's..You can't even use that line up in a video game.

They can go bigger. Do you even look at the opponent?

Its conclusive we should never take Noel off the court!
OK, this will cascade down the line. Who starts and who gets some of those PG minutes

I think Rose will start and IQ will get more min, if either struggles will see grimes

Naw, I think Burks will see the additional minutes over Grimes. But I won't be surprised if Grimes or McBride see more than 3 mins today.

Taj
Randle
Nerlens at the point.

Nah bro Noel is SG in that lineup. Randle would be the PG
Im going to guess IQ gets the nod to start. The stagger of bringing in Drose to finish rotation/game, but all depends on the score.
Perhaps we see Duece get some time? If IQ gets in foul trouble it could make it a go.
Burkes I thought started last year when Both Elf and Rose could not go. We thought frank would get the nod but he was either banged up or in the dog house. IQ came in with second unit.
I hope Rose stays with our nuclear explosion from the bench role. We really need that.
Two big Towers close all driving lanes and as a wise man once told me : " Penetration is most important !"

I think Rose will start and Quickly and Burks will handle the ball for the second unit with Grimes getting some minutes. I wonder if Rose will get a rest day tomorrow.
