Hats off to Melo, only so much he can do. No post presence at all and still took them to OT. Can't get upset about this one. It was a hell of a streak considering everything this team has had to deal with this season. Not happy about that JR tech though, he served that one right up to the Bulls.

Raymond Felton is starting to get me on my nerves with his complaining a moping around.
Nice run...Love this team..relevant games..fun to watch..
Eh. The biggest concern is that Woodson keeps blowing off watching minutes. It's not like we have a healthy team. 9 guys available.. how can you not play White any minutes at all? Especially on a back to back

When we went to the basket the refs closed their eyes. Not blaming them, but they surely took the homecourt advantage fact very seriously.

really? on the road, with no inside players at all. melo had almost 20 rebounds! not that he can't board...but he got so many because we have zero inside play...mostly the issue with it is defense, but his numbers there should tell us something...
bulls still a tough matchup for us...but we could have won this game...it was very close...

I saw it too, but you have higher pct shots in the paint even if you don't get the calls. Our shots weren't falling after the first qtr.
1st OT 0:15
CHI 118 NYK 111
We better have Singleton/any healthy big we can sign available for tomorrow.
Man...
felton's defense is really concerning. Yes he has heart but he continues to get torched by other guards
Can't stand losing when we're on TNT.
"Dem Knicks is fools gol' Erneh."

Many games against the Bulls have been that way. You feel they are beatable, yet they always play the "get inside Melo's head and the Knicks as a whole" and suddenly we lose any lead we have.
It IS somewhat alarming. We had many leads at many points in the game, yet we couldn't hold them.
Bulls gave us the Broom this season. Felton play this season have been horrible since he got back from the pink injury. The past few games he played well, but today reminded me that he is still playing like the bum like he did in February.

Honestly, I haven't see defense from this guy in months. Anyone could score on him at will.

I agree.. Fortunately, if things go well even if they get out of the first round, they would most likely play the Heat second round so that's that

Well the Bulls have our number. I think we ran out of gas. How in the world did we let Nate beat us. The low scoring Bulls put up 118 points. No amount of a lead we may is enough when your defense is bad.
Hey this forum hated Nate when he was here and I was always a Nate fan but he was the kind of guy that got on your nerves his clowning around. He had to go. What bothers me about our team is that someone on the opposing team always break some kind of record.

Some people get mad because they feel that felton deserves more credit. Well this game is the reason why felton doesnt get praise. he plays zero defense and gets torched by opposing guards constantly. he plays out of control too. sure he plays with heart and has played some good games( Heat and thunder were both good games by him) but he doesnt play conssistent
sorry the refs
had nothing to do with Knicks loss in this game
At least we wouldn't have to face the Bulls till ECF, and even then only if they get past Miami.
