There goes my theory we showcased Mitch in Abu Dabi with trade set up and he wouldn't play again until mid December.

Deuce is the key piece. His 2 way skill set along with Mitch rim protection and offensive rebounds, this should be an easy win.

Big Mitch comes back and we are going on a winning streak. 20 game

Reading Knicks defense is suprisingly good and credits Deuce as point of attack and the play of OG and Mikal benefiting. Not like we getting blown out folks. This was totally expected by me so Im ok with early season stuff.
Bulls on paper are not bad and Donovan a good coach. No Lavine does help them and Giddy looking like a good extension and trade for them these days. Fans see the momoent of a trade but GM's have to see long term. Sometimes its instant results vs. a vision that takes time to execute.
Can't say they sustain this play but in the age of parity the spread of talent is not as great and teams can bounce faster. They can also decline with greater velocity also!!!
Be good to get one on the road!!!

CHICAGO — Mike Brown needs another month before he can judge both his team and the rest of the NBA.
“It’ll take some time,” the coach said. “It’s hard to get a true evaluation in the first five to 10 games. I think y’all have been in this league long enough, the first month or month and a half, everybody feels like they have a chance and guys are playing hard and engaged and sometimes you have teams that are on top, they’re not going to finish on top.
“Because teams are trying to find their way. So we’re just evaluating not just [one player], but everybody. Not just the defense, but the offense too. Keep doing that. Come about December or end of November, we should have a pretty good feel.”
Heading into the Halloween matchup against the Bulls, they’re 2-2 while ranked 24th in offense and seventh in defense.
“I think we’ve been pretty good defensively for some quarters and parts of the game,” Jalen Brunson said. “We haven’t played a full 48 minutes of offense or defense.”
