As I projected some posts back...

The Knicks did indeed pick up the option on both Smith AND Ntilikina's contracts. 

PS: I should only be so lucky with my parallel projection of a 39-43 record for 2019-2020. 

[bodiddley]

To get to 39 W's, one of Jr. Smith/Elf would have to establish himself as a legit starting PG.  Barrett would have to be a top rook.  Mitch would have to improve and not foul so much.  And some instant chemistry would have to arrive. With Randle playing at an all-star level and two of Morris, Knox, Portis contributing strongly.

We'd also need to get good 3-point shooting (group effort?), solid defense, and someone (or two) emerge as a go-to scorer.
Seems like an awful ot to ask.  Hell, all that happens and we could get 42 W's.

Agree with you Bo on what it would take for Chip’s win prediction to come to fruition.

Meanwhile how about who should be the starting 5 tomorrow and in the rotation?

I’m going with:

Payton
RJ
Mitch
Morris
Randle

DSJ
Portis
Frank
Wellington

Knox and Trier have to work their way in. I thought I heard Dotson is injured. I think he’ll be traded anyway.

Team will struggle to finish 32-50 - I will say this is our ceiling

Best question is when will we see the first "TANK" mention here and in the press?

Ian Begley: Knicks center Mitchell Robinson suffered a sprained right ankle in practice on Monday and is questionable for Wednesday’s opener in San Antonio. – via Twitter IanBegley

Shoot......

have to make adjustments to my fantasy team

Recall - staying healthy was one of my concerns for Mitchell

[kiidcarter8]

Brandon Clarke in, Robinson to bench

[kiidcarter8]

Alexander-Walker is a chucker

I like the way Okafor has looked pre - and tonight

[bodiddley]

I didn't realize the season started.
Lakers really have an iffy bench.  Looks like the Clips 2nd unit steamrolled them.
Edit: The Clippers' reserves outscored the Lakers' bench, 60-19.

Apparently, CCTv didn't show the games.
Must be first time in over 20 years opening day games weren't televised in China.

Put me down for 29 Knick W's.

[jaqdavisone]

I think the Knicks problem has been consistency.  We cannot keep rolling out different lineups to see what works.  I'd start D.Smith, Trier, Knox, Randle and Taj for stability in the young lineup.  Bringing in Robinson to learn not foul so much.  I would let that unit play for the first two weeks and let them get familiar with the plays and each other, build some kind of chemistry.  Do you realize the knicks has not had any continuity since the Ewing days.  We been rolling out lineups like a firing squad.  Stick to a lineup, any lineup and let them play together for awhile before playing guess who starting this week game.

[kiidcarter8]

I'd guess we see BP opening night - and I dont care which point starts


This was in fact the decision made prior to Robinson's injury

TAJ also questionable tonight

Did you sleep through the 2019 draft and not follow the preseason?
