    I’m kind of afraid to make a comment, because I assume Brian is going to put up a separate predictions thread soon

    watched some side-by-sides of mikal’s jumper. watching live in the preseason didn’t seem like a massive change, but i think i was wrong — it’s pretty significant. the higher release means he’s bringing it back behind his head by several inches vs even last season and it looks like it’s throwing his balance and timing off quite a bit.

    Some journalist with access to tracking data I saw said his release point is 4 inches higher than last season

    I’m wondering: can Dadiet win over Thibs the way that RJ Barrett did?

    It strictly depends on how acceptable his defense is. He clearly can shoot the ball, and cut and run plays with alacrity. He has the measurables and is just barely 19. Thibs has shown he will give rookies minutes right off the bat (IQ) not based on draft position, but whether they bring enough net value to the floor.

    This is sort of a bad match up for him to defend vs the Celtics wings, though…. it would be funny if they put him on Horford and dared Tatum to bomb away from 26 feet….

    Not to get all Pagsy, but I’m starting to worry that the upgrade from Donte to Mikal wasn’t worth five 1sts…

    Can we let the guy play an actual game before panic sets in? He does have a pretty large sample size at making them…

    Tommy Beer:
    ————
    Jalen Brunson will the Knicks starting point guard tonight and Tom Thibodeau is NY’s head coach.

    It is the first time this century that New York has had the same starting opening-night PG and head coach in three consecutive seasons.

    The last Knicks PG/coach combo to achieve this feat was Charlie Ward and Jeff Van Gundy.

    Right Bob, but don’t folks here think that RJ was vastly overrated as a defender?

    Oh, totally agree. Thibs had no choice other than to play him in year 2. His other choices were Iggy, Theo Pinson or Austin Rivers … OMG.

    A bit of a different roster today.

    OMG, I glanced at the Guardian article linked to above. They predict us to beat the Celtics in the conference finals and then beat OKC for the league championship. Our Karma just isn’t that good.

    A question to the heavier gamblers here, are you into Polymarket?

    As a horse, blackjack and poker bettor of some significance, I look at Polymarket as any other marketplace. It is prone to manipulation and the vagaries of the public’s sentiment at a particular moment.

    To quote the great H.L.Mencken…”Nobody ever went broke betting against the intelligence of the American public!”

    Are we talking about this:

    https://polymarket.com/elections

    As I understand it, a bunch of conservative millionaires dumped a bunch of money in betting markets for Trump, to make it appear he’s winning the race. Similar to how conservative using polling to attempt to skew the appearance that the race is more slanted than it is.

    Or is this actually NBA/Knicks related?
