Alec Berks Breakout, Antilicina Trade


The Knicks will open their season against the Pacers on Wednesday night, just as the talk Thibodeau era begins. Here are three bold predictions and five games to watch since the 2020-21 NBA season tips are off.

Three bold predictions

1. Free-agent Cygni Alec Berks quietly gets an early small front job and doesn’t give up.

2. Frank Natilicina trades on the March deadline for the 2023 second round pick and has the rights of a European who will never play in the NBA.

K. Kentucky coach John Carri speaks more about the Knicks this season than Lipari Rose, president of the Lipari team.

13 Jan. Vs. net: The Knicks will face Kevin Durant at the Black Brooklyn Dudes for the first time since the passing of the superstar in James Dolan’s team. KD then called the franchise “not cool.” As devalued.

Jan. 18 vs Orlando: The Knicks passed on to local PG Cole Anthony, who is visiting the Garden for the first time as a pro, and Tom Thibodeau faces his longtime teammate Steve Clifford.

Feb 12 at Shington. Rickel will be in Westbrook Wizards uniform, then Nix chases him half-heartedly. They also get close to seeing Israeli forward Danny Avadija, whom they can pick up on toppin.

21 Feb. Vs. Minnesota: This will be Thibodeau’s Super Bowl as it faces suffrage that in January 2019 it unleashed uncontrollably and boosted its reputation. Nice to see you again, Carl-Anthony Towns.

Post forecast

30-42: With another coach, I would tab 22 wins, but Thibodeau is the real deal.
