Open Game Thread #21: Bulls vs. New York Knicks

New York Knicks at Chicago Bulls, Dec 9, 2008 7:30 PM CST


My fear: Knicks will go small, Bulls will go smaller. Bulls smaller includes Nocioni. Bulls lose.

Derrick needs to take over more…walking it up to have Ben or Larry jack up a shot isn’t a good look.

Hell, I’d even throw Thabo in for a couple for a spark or at least to have one competent defender out there. and more Noah please, I’m tired of Gray..dude may know where to be but he is slower than a tortoise with arthritis.

If Tyrus didn't do something to wind up in VDN's doghouse then I can only conclude

that he is a supreme a#$hole.

I don’t see anyone on the Bulls playing stellar defense or rebounding except for Gooden and the brief time Noah was in. The knicks are getting a ton of open looks and if they ever find the range than Vinnie deserves a big boot up his ass for not playing Tyrus or whatshisname…ok I remember …..Thabo something.

If you can't answer a man's arguments, all is not lost. You can still call him vile names.

It's also true

"You remember the first time you picked up a basketball video game and you had no idea how to run plays, so you just gave the ball to your shooter and you ran around the court aimlessly until a defender was far enough away and then you jacked up a shot? THAT IS LARRY HUGHES!"

I think it's funny that the Bulls and Knicks play so many close games

With how inexorably linked they are with all their trades and connections throughout the years – both somehow making each other worse with the trades they’ve made. So it makes sense that every game goes down to the wire.
