Julius is indestructible!

Meanwhile....Knicks are 7th in NBA power ratings as season begins?

League wide or the East?

Boston, Milwaukee

Philly, Miami, New York, Cleveland

League wide!

I think Siakam is a better target.

IQ, Fournier, and one of Barrett or Randle and a couple of less promising picks.

We would get expensive but we would also get better which would be the point.

I think Siakam could be great here.

Opening night.

Thibs not the only one who favors 9 man rotations

Siakim.  Sigh. 

But hey, by all means let's trade a couple of starters and multiple draft picks for this pricey savior.

Rejecting trades even before seeing them.

You're in season form!

And I see the sign you're holding up too:

STAND PAT FOREVER!

No my brother.

Stand pat?  No.

Don't sunder hard earned team chemistry, multiple starting rotation players, and several #1 picks for a player who cannot move the needle with what remains of the roster.

Maybe our best season in 20 years, but I'm a dipstick for not wanting to sunder chemistry and enervate a coherent roster in exchange for a player with an expiring $37 million contract who will be an UFA NEXT SUMMER.

But I'm deranged.

Too funny.

Fortunately, in REALITY, Leon Rose does not share your obsession with trades, Trades, TRADES

PPS: As per Dawg's projections in the unlikely event Embid comes on the market, well, THAT'S something else is it not?

Chemistry was not as evident tonight as we would have hoped. Still this roster could approach 40 wins if things break right for us.

That was not nothing.

Almost overcame Tingus' Wemby imitation and very weak games by our "stars." Made it competitive right to the end.

After the first quarter, we played to the Thibs blueprint.

I thought RJ was strong. Still don't see how a player with such an abominable touch and questionable basketball instincts can ever be a star, but I'll settle for a first Game 1 to Game 82 positive season and yesterday was a pretty good start.

Missing Obi, but he was NOT a Thibs player. Donte is. Color me unimpressed so far, would much rather see Deuce, or yes, I mean it, Fournier. But let's see what Coach does, the stable is full with guys he likes. Express your vision.

Jaylen Brown may be the most overpaid player in history.

Free throws

Top two players way off their game

Awful  flop call on Brunson

Not enough touches for Grimes

Encouraged by IQ and RJ.

39 points, 8 boards and ZERO turnovers. Bucks getting their money's worth for sure

Couldn't help but notice how sloppy Embiid and Greek were at times ... 7 each. A lot of bad choices that can swing it in what ended up a 1-point game.

Despite the shooting, Julius had zero the other night...along with 11 boards. The kind of bad game that doesn't take you out of the game.

I think we are a tier down from the Celtics at this point. Let us see how we look against the Hawks. That will be a good indicator of where we stand this year.

Brunson would seem due for a comeback game as well. 

Julius seems focused on being a better team player.  Also seemed conscious of less dribbling and more decisive northsouth to the rack.

Worth noting that IQ and Maxey were Kentucky teammates, and that Max went at #21, IQ at 25.  IQ playing a good all around game
