You know, if the Knicks decide to stop fucking around for a moment, they can easily put together a win streak over the next few games and trick everyone into thinking they might make the playoffs. They play only the league's worst and tankingest teams over the next week or so, starting tonight with their first match-up of the season against the Jazz, a mediocre offensive team with one of the league's worst defenses. None of that matters if the Knicks let Trey Burke knife them apart and create tons of open threes, but the opportunity is there, and it's just the first of several to come.
Mike Woodson will start the same big lineup with Amar'e Stoudemire and J.R. Smith. Nothing new or different injury-wise.
Tip-off is at 7:30 on MSG. This is your game thread. This is SLC Dunk. Please don't post large photos, GIFs, or links to illegal streams in the thread. Basketball game!
Side note because I'm thinking of Utah: Remember the Kurt Thomas game?
