Just bought NBA League Pass. I am ready. I have been dying to see some Knicks basketball for months. It is finally here!!! Now I can spend the next 4 months being disappointed that the team sucks. But watching a disappointing team is more entertaining than no Knicks basketball. Hopefully, we will be pleasantly surprised this year. GO KNICKS!!

Killian Hayes can start over D Rose but Dennis and or Frank can't start over Payton?!? I hope Payton is not the opening day starter

Phew!

Thibs says the rotations are fluid at this point, but the idea of Payton taking away minutes from Dennis, Frank and Quickley this season is mind-boggling to me

Never understood resigning Payton. Between Frank, DSJr, Quickley, and Jared Harper, one of those guys would have stepped up. The Knicks should have just rolled with the PGs we had without bringing back Payton.

What's going on? Have we got new uni's that they've somehow kept top secret all this time?

It’s basic looking but I really like the warm-up shirt.

Payton has historically done a better job of running the point in NY, I know thats not saying a lot. Will be disappointed if neither Frank or DSJr makes a strong case to start by the end of preseason. Not the absolute deadline, long season. But still.

Smear lipstick on a pig and it's still a pig. I don't seen any winning combination out of this group, so the starting lineup doesn't mean much. I just want to see the younger players get minutes. The Noel over Mitch swap is a little questionable in my mind, but hey, whatever. I gave Fiz a year of ineptitude before I had enough. I'm not gonna crap on Thibs when it's just preseason.

I wasnt sure of the lineup, was pretty sure it would look like this. Wasnt expecting the younger players to start. Not a big deal, as long as they dont dominate the minutes, regardless of their play.

Mitch was our best player and one of the few rays of positivity we had last year and he gets rewarded by having to play behind Noel, a guy on his 4th team? What message does that send to our young players? If we are going to rebuild, lets not half-ass it! Again, I know its only the 1st game of the pre-season but this cant be the opening day line up!

Don't worry. Noel will miss time after averaging 40 mins a game thru the first 25 and Mitch will lap up all that time
