The Knicks 8 Man rotation vs the Pacers 11 Man rotation gave the Knicks the edge for a 31 pt lead in 3 quarters.
Tibbs played a postseason rotation (8 players) for the Knicks must WIN game in MSG opener vs The Pacers Rick Carlisle preseason rotation (11 players) tonight.
So don't let our Knicks fan buddy hype us up to much over this game. Why?
Tonight game look like coach Rick Carlisle were preparing 11 players for the 82 Game season, while coach Tibbs prepared 8 players for the win tonight.
Knicks 123 - Pacers 98
