2014-2015 Game Thread: Knicks vs. Thunder

Tonight we will all get to see a superstar point guard play.

Oh, and Russell Westbrook will also be in action tonight.

The newly-signed Langston Galloway has himself a tough matchup tonight. Let’s see if he can keep his strong play up. He’ll actually open the game as the off guard, as Jose Calderon has returned to hopefully pump up his trade value (come on, teams, you know you want Jose!).

Melo also returns to the lineup. He’ll be the starting three tonight, with Jason “Stretch” Smith and Lou Amundson forming the rest of the Knicks’ starting frontcourt.

Let’s go! Knicks!
