WOW... That's great. So you've got jokes. So what do you say if the Knicks play well and win? It's not unheard of. They could beat the Bulls. I expect the Knicks to play well.

Serious prediction: Knicks are reasonably competitive for 3 1/2 quarters, game slips away in fourth, Bulls win by 11.

That's like the David Lee days.

Nix you are so serious - why are you always against jokes / banter? Deep pain is subsided by humor. Relax, have a drink, loosen up, take a break from the stats for a minute and just let loose! Go Crazy!!

You'll enjoy it. Everyone needs a vacation from reality every so often.

I never vacation from reality.

You should try it. I do it every friday night.

I have a hard time with sarcasm. I'm a very literal person in real life. I'm fine when i'm in a situation where i'm expecting a lot of humor, but I often don't get jokes that are sprung on me when i'm being serious. It's best if there's a smiley or something to help me get the intent of the post. It's a character flaw I have in real life. No doubt you've noticed that I don't get a lot of the sarcastic jokes that are posted.

when in doubt with my posts, just assume that I am either sarcastic or a prick. Both are relatively accurate assumptions

Ok ... that makes sense. You seemed to be taking me way too seriously. And you take everything so personel. This is sports - we all love to talk smack, bull sh1t, throw out crazy ideas ...

We also love coaching changes, trades, crazy FA signings and instability. It makes for better theatre. Especially in NY.

I can see Lin getting in this game early if it gets out of hand. Maybe he can lead the Knicks on a run and cement the fact that he is only PG on the roster

I am going to get really bummed if Lin does not get any meaningful PT tonight.

A few minutes end of first quarter would hit the spot for me.

At very least Lin should get Mike Bibby's minutes.

If The Answer Man ruled the world JLin would get 80% of Toney Douglas' minutes in the second quarter until JR Smith arrives

Breaking out the Melo jersey for the first time since Christmas. This is the start of the turn around right here. NY going to feast off the Giants' energy and capitalize on Chicago injuries.

Knicks 98
Bulls 92

So are you hoping for the Knicks losses or just D'Antoni getting fired? I think you should be hoping for a Knicks sweep. How can you care about a coach so much that you root for your team to lose? That doesn't make any sense. I mean unless MDA kicked your cat, I don't understand the hatred of the guy. He's just trying to get this team to win. He hasn't once done anything to hurt the team or franchise like Larry Brown was doing or even Isiah. Despite getting kicked around he's stayed positive and is still in there fighting to get this team on track.

I said "I am THINKING IF the Knicks go 0-3 . . . " No where in there do I say that I am hoping they go 0-3. All I am hoping for is that IF they do go 0-3, then Dantoni gets the axe. There is a difference!

Ok if you say so, but it's worded very strangely. You really do have to see how it reads like you are looking for the Knicks to lose so you can get your wish. GO KNICKS!!!

NO DENG. D'antoni's job saved!

Not necessarily. That just means all the more reason why we should win and it will turn up the temperature on his hot seat a few more degrees if we lose.

Deng has been out for a while now. They've won games without him so it's not exactly a crippling loss. If Knicks win it's a legit win and no excuses if they lose. The Knicks just need to win this game. PERIOD.

Calm down man, they were just talking on the pre-game show that Deng has been the Bulls second leading scorer this year. I agree that a win is a win and everyone is playing with injured players and it would be a "legit" win. You may not agree, but you could imagine that losing to a team without their second leading scorer could possibly turn up the Fire Dantoni movement.

I can tell you are pro-Dantoni and that's cool. I am anti-Dantoni and believe that he is holding this team back from its' potential.

Let's agree, to disagree!

Every game is winnable.

Bulls coming off a loss - they will be pissed
No RIP - no Harrellson
Possibly no Deng - dang, no Deng? Can Toney Douglas stay with CJ Watson?

"Knicks played great against a crap team but will look to build on that w tonight."

Our Knicks shot 60 per cent from the field. Are you REALLY expecting Thibodeau's defense to be so porous as Detroit?

Really?

So you feel they'll lose. We don't need to shoot 60%, 55% will do

Off to watch the Knicks on a big TV for a change. See ya boys at the half.

Let's just watch it on a crappy, blurry stream that freezes all the time just for old time's sake

1st Qtr 10:29
NYK 0 CHI 4

Get inside.
