GREENBURGH, N.Y. — After a season spent mostly playing in front of empty arenas, Julius Randle was asked what he expects Wednesday night when the Knicks will not only open up their regular season, but do it to mark the official debut of hometown hero, Kemba Walker, against his former team, the Boston Celtics.

"Chaos. Definitely expecting chaos," Randle said.
