Game Thread: Bulls At Knicks

by Chris Alvino on December 22nd, 2009 at 6:27 pm

The Bulls take the Garden floor tonight, coming off a demoralizing and humiliating loss last night at home to the Kings.  I did not see the game, but anytime you blow a 35 point lead, something went devastatingly wrong.

The Knicks are surging of late and the Bulls have lost 7 of their last 11.  That team is in turmoil and it appears that the coach is on the hot seat.  But hey, that team is also chasing the same playoff spot as the Knicks.  The Knicks have to win this game and the Knicks have to beat teams such as the Bulls.   I do not care if Nate Robinson plays.  I do not care if Eddy Curry plays.  Jordan Hill.  Darko Milicic.  That Satan guy that Coach D’Antoni referred to just the other day.  Plain and simple… the Knicks must win tonight.  After a tough loss last week to the Bulls, I am looking for the Knicks to have a good night all around tonight.

As far as strategy goes, I know the Knicks can beat the Bulls.  You all know the Knicks can beat the Bulls.  The Knicks themselves know that they can beat the Bulls.  The bottom line is that this team has to continue to play a smart half court game on both ends.  Smart shots.  Ball movement.  Tight defensive rotations.  Etc., etc.

Enjoy the game and let’s go Knicks!

    If Vinny Del Negro loses this game, he will be fired. The Knicks have that effect on opposing team’s management lol. All last year and this year again (B yron Scott).

    I feel like the Knicks don’t match up well against the Bulls, despite my belief that the Knicks are the better team. I am not a Joakim Noah fan, hes is bigger than every Knick and can disrupt them inside, and also while Derrick Rose has had a down year so far he has elite quickness which our guards cant handle, hopefully Douglas can. I’m hoping for a Big W tonight but i don’t expect it to come easy

    It looks like my statement : “Tyreke Evans is a poor man’s Dwyane Wade” was pretty accurate though!

    The sky’s the limit for Tyreke, maybe I shouldn’t have said “poor man’s”. He’s just a flat-out stud.

    The Knicks have to win this one, but the Bulls will try to redeem themselves.

    I bet that when the Bulls lose tonight, Vinny Del Negro will be fired! All coaches are fired after losing to the Knicks. Reggie Theus, Eddie Jordan and Byron Scott! Bye Bye Vinny!

    Don’t think you turned up into a good team. You are not. Stay humble and play wisely. Then you will send them back to home with a good loss!

    Is Joakim Noah being a Prick?
