Bad game threads return for another winning streak. Let's do this. Huge home game for us. Bulls are going to be hyped with the return of D Rose. With Jeffries back our D and rebounding will be that much better just in time.
LET'S GO KNICKS!!!!!!!
You just know this should be a close game. Will we gut the first one out ? The way this team have been playing, I can see us sticking it to them.
wish lin was the one coming back

So do I, but it'll be nice to throw Jared Jeffries on Rose.
This is another huge game. I think the Knicks will be up for it. Just a really tough situation being shorthanded, but It will come down to who wants it more. Gotta find a way to keep the Bulls off the boards. That's how they beat people. Getting those timely offensive boards. It will help us that we have the perimeter defenders to make things tough for them. Still they Bulls are just such a mentally tough team to deal with. They just keep fighting and clawing their way. The Knicks have been playing the same way, so we'll see who prevails this time.
GO KNICKS!!!!
If we have any chance in this game, we have to avoid costly defensive lapses. We play good defense at times then make serious blunders. Have to keep that to a minimum. Jeffries will help a lot in this area.

Start iman on rose and tell him shut him down. Would love to see him clamp rose down, rose is super quick, but iman is also fast too!

Shump needs to guard Rose. That't the only way we can avoid Rose blowing past BD for the game.

Clearly, but Iman can't play the entire game.
The issue will be who will run of screens with Rip/Korver. Also do you put Melo on Noah. I do not think Broozer can really over power Melo but Melo needs to stop reaching and raise his hands straight up like he's done before. Another thing is will Chi put Broozer on Melo?
I expect TD and shump to guard rose...he's been out like 3 wks dont expect him to be sharp...I expect the knicks to have a 3-1 wk..
Woodson has to play 10 guys to wear this team down...we can win both, and even if we do, the media will still bed thinking everyone is petrified to play the bulls in the playoffs..then magic and the rest of his flip flopping week to week croonies in the studio can go back to saying no one wants to meet the knicks...
This is going to be an interesting game when it comes to Baron. I've seen him play out of control before, but Davis seemed to spread the bad shots out better over four quarters than he does now.
Baron has shown that he can still blow by defenders, if he can play under control, the Knicks could upset a high seed if they make the playoffs.
Good game to gauge where the Knicks need improvement before the playoffs. Also good for the team to show some pride against the team we love to hate and might face down the road.
Most significant game against the Bulls in over a decade.
If Dantoni was still the coach we would see the horror of Jeffries guarding Rose

Since Kukoc was dropping buckets.

Why would they? Luol Deng is much better suited to guarding Melo.
CRASH THE BOARDS!!!! This to me is gonna be the game. We can handle them in most instances but we have to keep them off the offensive boards. That's how they make up for the poor offensive game they have. They kill you with those extra attempts. We've gotta keep them one and done, especially at the end of the game.

Because Booze would have to guard fields or Shumps.
