Knicks Bulletin: ‘I try to think of all the pros and cons’

Wings made of feathers and wax. Flew too high, intoxicated by pride. Sent down crashing by the sun, drowning in hubris inside a dark sea.

Will the Knicks bend, or break?

Here’s the latest before the biggest game since the bounce that changed the Knicks’—now present—future.

On a possible starting lineup change for Game 4:
“That’ll be a game-time decision. Like I said (Thursday) night, at this point in the year, anything is on the table — what we do offensively, what we do defensively, what our rotations are, who starts, what we come out with.

On paying attention to all details before making a lineup change:
“The reality is — any (lineup) decision that I make, I try to think of all the pros and cons. And to back that up, the Charlotte game, I knew he had that streak going on. I threw him out there for five seconds. So everything that I do, I’ll take into consideration for everybody as best I can. And will I whiff sometimes? Yeah. Or will I forget sometimes? Yeah. Or will I say, I know this is going on, but I’m still going to do this or that? Yeah. So anything and everything is on the table. But I try to list the pros and cons for that individual and the repercussions it has throughout the team,…
