Whew!

Tonight's game tips off at 7:30 on MSG and ESPN. This is your game thread. This is Mavs Moneyball, where you can find some answers I gave to questions from my friend Doyle. Please don't post large photos, GIFs, or links to illegal streams in the thread. New thread after the game, recap from Joe later tonight. Go the Knicks!
