I think most of us can live with the results of the players performance, but if Thibs trots out Payton again to start the game... that would confirm the definition of Knicks insanity for me. Hoping for Frank personally just so it allows Rose to play off the bench so he doesn't burn out for the later games when we will need Rose at full strength. And... sounds like Knicks fans need to bring some live birds to the arena tonight!

Im all results with Thibs... he's pushed all the right buttons with subs and rotations to the tune taking this team from -24 wins last year to +10 this year.

If I see Payton starting I will expect him to play well. If he ****s the bed again yeah man its 100% insane. I dont know how yanking ELF now impacts the team chemistry etc.. he's playing terrible and the end of the season. So it would be pretty puzzling to see him starting again. I think the most Thibs like move is to go with Burks. We'll see.

I get that whenever we lose Payton is the reason, but maybe if Randle and Barrett shoot better....

Lets see what Thibs can come up with for game 2. One thing for sure, he has to do something different to stop Trey...we can't let him beat us again. Double teams, take away the paint and force him to make 3's, box and 1, or combinations of all and more, but they must over compensate and take him out of the game.

Mitch does have a history of starting slow each season, hope they don’t end up rushing him back

I'm still waiting for Thibs to squeeze 12 to 14 minute of playing-time for Frank in our game rotation.
That may not happen giving MIP allstar Randle 40 min to run the point, and Barrett 36 min to chill as a wing.
DRose are more relax coming off the bench as a scoring combo-guard sharing the PG duties with Burks and rookie Quickley in the 2nd unit lineup.

After losing the first postseason game at Home, we are expecting Thibs to make some changes.
If Thibs didn't make any changes from the regular season performance in the first postseason game, I doubt Thibs make any changes in the 2nd postseason game. Randle will remain the 40 minute facilitator throughout the series.
The Knicks look like they needed a old-school PF in their lineup to protect the paint from Trae Young's speedy slashing through the lane. Noel & Taj at the center position could use help on defense when opponents switching force them away from the paint.
We are gonna need Noel defense tonite for Capella & Collins inside scoring, and offensive rebounds.
Lets Go Knicks !!!
