Timofey Mozgov to Start at Center Against Boston

Hot of the Daily News Press:

Timofey Mozgov is expected to start Wednesday against the Boston Celtics at MSG, a move that could be permanent depending on how the rookie center performs for the remainder of the preseason.

Hopefully, Doc Rivers will start Shaquille O'Neal that night because it will give everyone - Mozgov, Mike D'Antoni, Knick fans - a chance to see Mozgov compete against a solid, albeit aging, NBA center.

With Ronny Turiaf seen as nothing more than a back-up and Eddy Curry not in the D'Antoni's plans, the Knicks would love to see Mozgov emerge as a player capable of giving them 25 to 30 minutes a night.

 

Mozgov taking no prisoners. "If he dies, he dies."
