I’m amused by the fact that Bruce Brown Jr. (11) and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (5) are wearing the same jersey numbers as the players they’re replacing in Denver. Glance up quickly and it’s like Monte Morris put on a headband (and Will Barton still has one). – 11:39 PM

A reporter asked Mitchell Robinson after the game about having a pure point guard now after Alec Burks played the point last year. He hesitated, thought it over, then wagged his finger at the reporter and responded, as if he were a disappointed father, with “That’s rude.” – 10:57 PM

Jalen Brunson’s mere presence on the floor draws attention away from others and makes it feel like the Knicks are playing with NBA Jam spacing, compared to the Taco Bell clogged toilet we’re used to. When you’re down bad for this long you learn to appreciate the little things. – 8:20 PM

Wes Unseld Jr. said that he had dinner with Tom Thibodeau over the summer and Thibs “went on and on” raving about Taj Gibson. “Everything he said is completely accurate,” Unseld said. I asked if Thibs has asked for Taj back yet.
“No yet,” Unseld said. “But I’m sure he will.” – 7:41 PM

Knicks can keep only two of the following players:
Jalen Harris, DaQuan Jeffries, Svi Mykhailuk, Ryan Arcidiacono, James Akinjo.
Guessing Arcidiacono gets a spot.
Thibodeau wouldn’t say, though:
“Once we get through (preseason), then we’ll think about all that stuff.” – 7:14 PM
