Bagley just took, and missed, a 3 while playing alongside Duren. Casey said Bagley and Stewart will spend time at the 4 this season and will have to space the floor. – 7:25 PM

The best thing about the Knicks (and I discussed this on @Nate Duncan‘s season preview) is their depth. They basically have 12 guys who can be in an NBA rotation. Pretty confident the all-bench unit is gonna be really, really good. – 7:21 PM

Shot doesn’t drop but this was a very encouraging sequence.
RJ drives right – with his head up! doesn’t force up a shot – and finds Randle behind the arc. Randle unselfishnessly passes up a good shot for a great shot – wide open Fournier pic.twitter.com/TUBUbxKtey – 7:20 PM

Jalen Brunson has had a fantastic start to his first (preseason) game as a Knick. Already has six points, three assists, and just made a perfect strip on Cade Cunningham in the post for a fastbreak layup. – 7:18 PM

It’s still long lines at concession stands but not much of a reaction to Jalen Brunson in lineup announcements — which was pretty much the same for all (although maybe a big French contingent for Fournier). – 7:01 PM

The Knicks are a good measuring stick for where the Pistons are, I think. They won 37 games and missed the play-in, should be slightly better this year. – 6:56 PM

McGruder on what Ivey brings to the #Pistons: “That speed. That’s something you can’t teach. You can teach somebody to shoot the ball, to finish and stuff like that but his speed and how unselfish he is, getting in the paint and making the right plays, you can’t teach that.” – 1:43 PM
