Chuck did say that they can make the ECF, didn't see that coming.

I agree my only concern is that the bulls defense and physicality. Also they seem to get under our skin alot. This is why they have had so much success against us. They;re are the only team that really scares me
I couldn't agree with you more.
It might sound crazy but give me the Heat (with James, Wade and Bosh) anytime over the Bulls (even without Rose).
That's not to say the Bulls are in itself a better team, but matchups make a lot of difference.
Every team has bogey teams and ours just happens to be Chicago.
I blame isiah thomas for how good the bulls are. The jamal crawford and eddy curray trades really helped the bulls build a tough team
I just can't hate Chuck. I put absolutely zero value in his Knick opinions/"analysis", but I just can't hate him.
"There's gonna be some changes around here. Me and Kenny saw Django Unchained over the weekend. There's gonna be some changes around here."

Until recently I would agree but looking at the way this squad has been playing since the all star break, not getting easily phased, makes me believe we could take them. If Kmart and Tyson are playing well and reasonably healthy, I think we would be hard to stop. All bets are off if D. Rose comes back.

if you want my honest opinion, 90% of the reason for the Bulls' success is THibodeau, I cannot stress enough how much respect I have for that man.
He is also the main reason why I think Rose got the MVP.
Not to take anything away from Rose because he's a fantastic player and the Bulls are a good team now, but they weren't even remotely a threat what-so-ever under Del Negro
The problem Chuck has with NY KNICKS is , some lady of the night in NY probably did him wrong.
Well, this is...interesting. The police report from Charles Barkley's DUI arrest was released and it is easily one of the most fascinating/disturbing/mind-blowing things you'll ever read.
TMZ, has the dirty details, but The Smoking Gun has the full report:
According to the officer who wrote the report, "He told me that he ran the stop sign because he was in a hurry to pick up the girl I saw get in the passenger seat."
The officer continues: "He asked me to admit that she was 'hot.' He asked me, 'You want the truth?' When I told him I did he said, 'I was gonna drive around the corner and get a b**w job. He then explained that she had given him a 'b**w job' one week earlier and said it was the best one he had ever had
in his life."
The report says when Barkley was taken to the station, he told one of the employees, "I'll tattoo my name on your ass" if he helped "get him out of the DUI." According to the report, "He laughed and then quickly corrected himself and said, 'I'll tattoo your name on my ass' and then laughed again."
Melo just picks up where he left off.

If Melo rebounded all season like he has lately he would be much closer in the mvp conversation :D (over 11 per game)
Dare I say. "Copeland breasting"?

Copeland destroying Boozer
this lineup is crazy..

4 - Jr
3 - Kidd
2 - Rayray
1 - priggo

For someone his age and size, Prigioni knows how to give good hard fouls.

What's great is Felton, Melo, JR are also doing their share of taking it to the rim and finishing.
I'm gonna take a shot here and say that Melo isn't nearly as "bad" a rebounder as his rpg shows.
I've noticed this throughout the season, but it hasn't gotten much (if any) attention on here, the reason why Melo doesn't get as many rebounds is because most of the time Melo is doing the boxing out. By doing so he keeps out the opposing player and increasing the Knicks' chances of getting the rebound (while sacrificing his stats).
What we're seeing now is Melo going for the rebound instead of almost constantly boxing out because he HAS to get them now since we don't have any bigs on the floor, as opposed to earlier when Chandler & co. were mostly counter upon the rebounds.
Foul a Melo is fantastic except they don't get called
