Open Game Thread #24: Bulls vs New York Knicks

[Sorry! Not sure what happened, I had one scheduled -ed.]]


Go Bulls

Star-divide

Apparently fan posts have to be 75 words long.  who knew?  Well, the Bulls are currently playing the Knicks.  This is as good a chance they have had for a win.  Yadda, yadda, yadda.  Post your thoughts (and other things) below.  Its the dramatic return of Chris Duhon, one of the top point guards currently on the Knicks.  A chance to see Al Harrington up close, for those who wanted to trade for him... Is this 75 yet?

this is exciting

In the past 10 years, just four team owners have not paid a luxury tax and are not on pace to pay one this year: Donald Sterling, Jerry Reinsdorf, Chris Cohen (Golden State), Bob Johnson (Charlotte).

Two owners’ teams averaged an operating income of over +$10 million per year while their teams have lost over 60% of their games: Donald Sterling and Jerry Reinsdorf.

did you guys hear the comments players have been making the past few days?

one of the many was Lance Briggs saying how the team misses Rivera… hahah the current guy doing Rivera’s old job is LOVIE!

by Daniel Satan on Dec 17, 2009 7:47 PM CST up reply actions  

i don't live in Chicago

but I heard Hester talking about the offense making changes. I think they are going to fire Turner, and give Lovie one more year. They owe him to much money. Hope I’m wrong though.

The Bulls are moving the ball well

10 assists in 13 baskets it’s good. Now, they just need to improve their shooting %

I agree

its also a little disappointing to see that he’s taken 13 shots but has yet to take a free throw

Instead of ripping the Knicks for taking so many threes

why don’t King and Funk rip on the Bulls for taking so many bad two point shots
