I think it's more likely than not that KP will get applause at MSG tonight, especially if he lights up the NIX. NIX fans can be mindless and obnoxious, but there is a swath who understand what's going on, and they appreciate a good performance, hometeam or not. It was said last year after The Trade that MSG was not a good pace for an emotionally fragile, weak, immature young player to find himself, and that NIX fans would turn vicious in a New York-minute if assets didn't produce. Assets have not produced.
Fizdale may get booed, and any player involved in the Porzingis trade who is still with the team may get booed, particularly if he lays an(other) egg. And double-particularly if KP is simultaneously having a strong performance.

I doubt there will be more applause than boos for KP. If I had to bet it would be that they give him the "you abandoned our great organization" treatment right off the bat and thought the game.
Wins and losses dont matter? Tell that to Luka who is going above and beyond every single night. He is synched up just fine..its KP who needs to get it in gear. We need all the wins we can get while he is knocking the rust off and gaining confidence.
