What to watch for in the Thunder season opener

The 7'3 monster will give Oklahoma City all they can handle Thursday night, but watch for how OKC counters the Knicks lone offensive threat.
2) How many different lineups will Billy Donovan trot out there?: Billy Donovan is the king of tinkering with lineups, what rotation will he start the year with?
3) The big 3: The Thunder made huge moves this offseason by acquiring Paul George and Carmelo Anthony this offseason. How will the big 3 play together?
