Just got to keep things close. The Bulls fold under pressure and will down the stretch
HofstraBBall @ 1/3/2024 9:39 PM
Terrible half. Way too many turnovers!
Good news is down just 4.
Need to come out strong in second half!

If the Bulls keep it close DeRozan can beat us.

DDV has been a better distributor than I expected. Some really nice passes.

🎯 Spot on about the lack of bench scoring. Deuce has a better handle this season, but his decision making is a step slow. He's taking too long to make a decision, and its killing the momentum. Hope he can pick up the pace.

Grimes looks like a competent bench player, which is good news.

I do like OG not needing the ball as much as RJ.

There’s going to be a lot of games with high turnovers due to overpassing because of the lack of scoring off the dribble.

Deuce looks better off the ball. Hope the game slows down for him

Will take overpassing> underpassing. But you're right, we need a 6th man who can get buckets in short order. That was IQ's role.

I’ll take an ugly win tonight

Okay… where the **** are Breen and Clyde?
ToddTT @ 1/3/2024 10:09 PM
Coby White’s hair gives him +5 shrewd and +8 slick.
HofstraBBall @ 1/3/2024 10:10 PM
Randle is all over the court. Great effort. IHart is liking blocks!!
HofstraBBall @ 1/3/2024 10:12 PM
Devo, JR and JB with 16 dimes.
martin @ 1/3/2024 10:16 PM
Hopefully!!

Don't like this lineup
HofstraBBall @ 1/3/2024 10:29 PM
Devo and OG olease
franco12 @ 1/3/2024 10:29 PM
I guess DeMar has read the criticism here on UK that he can't hit 3pters

And IHart

Knicks are a better team after the trade and it also seemed to unlock a new part of Brunson’s passing game. But at the same time this team has a bigger hole on the roster than they did before with the lack of bench scoring.

Guy is a gamer. Loves the limelight. Would fit here and give us that other play maker.

The Brunson assists are very encouraging.

Just a struggle out there to score. Shouldn’t be a close game at all. Really need to address a playmaker off the bench.
