Haven't had a cigarette in almost a year, today seems like a good day to start again. So glad I woke up at 4am to watch this game. If I run into someone wearing a Knicks jersey on the way to buy cigarettes I swear I'll kill them

Guys like Kobe, LBJ and Wade don't miss that layup. They either make it or are able to draw a foul and sometimes get an and1.

He needs to be able draw that foul if he is going to take the next step.

did u not see cj .... watson not lay the dam ball up on a fastbreak then reset the offense back up and FORCED a 3 out of desperation. i look at that as a bigger issue. yall say bogans needs to go but its watson who can barely make a dam shot. im good with bogans and watson both being sent to denver for jr smith. if they want a 1st round pick, what the hell give it to them. rose cant even sit down for 3 mins without watson f.... up, and omer asik, i just dont understand how we waited 2 years just for this weak non paying attention to passes thrown his way, poor excuese for a bball player. i mean id rather have jj out there at center before him. seriously

I dont get why some Bulls fans want to call the Knicks a bad team. Does it make you feel better when you lie to yourself? Exactly what makes the Knicks a bad team? What makes the Bulls even slightly better? You guys want to call the Knicks this and that, but reality is smacking you in the face and showing you otherwise.

You guys are so quick to discredit us but your team is doing nothing to prove you right, while the Knicks team is doing everything to prove you wrong. Just relax, I know you guys want us to suck forever, but at some point you have to give us some respect and know that we are a tough team to beat, no matter what you guys may think, we are a good team.

Enjoy the Holidays and hope you guys have a safe Christmas and New Years.

We played like crud.
The Knicks are a good team.
End of story.....

No need to be angry...and no need to disrespect the Knicks.

On to the next one....

We need Noah back, and we need some more help at SG.

Bogans, Brewer, Korver.....none of them are starting SG's.

Time to make a trade for some help....

Running the pick and roll on the side is mainly to reduce the amount of defensive help that can come.

We just need to run it with the right person - Boozer, instead of Thomas/Noah.

The smoking I mean. The killing of a Knick fan I can get behind.

Korver has sucked lately. I don't see any of the reliable shooting that we expected when we got him. Part of it is he can't get free and all of his attempts are catch and shoots with a hand in his face. It's disappointing though.

He doesn't get to set his feet as much as you would like when he has to be a 2nd unit guy. He's fine.

Definitely not a starter long term though.

J.R. Smith would murder as the starting 2. Murder.

True, but especially teams like NY and Orlando.

Anyone remember that 3 point play Turiaf had? Taj had rotated to help on the pick and roll and someone had to come pick up the rolling big man.

That was Boozer's guy to pick up. After Turiaf scored he and Korver just stood there with their hands up at their sides in the shrugging motion all confused. Boozer was like "wasn't that your guy?" and Korver was like "No it was your guy you **** dumb***". Taj just stood there and was like "sigh I remember when I used to play with Joakim."

My explanation of why I think the Bulls are a better team:

We have a better record with one of the most difficult schedules while the Knicks have a worse record with one of the easiest schedules. Both times the Knicks have faced the Bulls they have been lucky. 1st time we were missing Booz 2nd time Noah.

Knicks are a decent team a playoff team but, a lower seed.

Unless we catch the knicks shooting bad, we'll continue to struggle against them cause we give them so many looks. Also, the fast piece kills us since we play our starters a lot of minutes. A lot of you call them a decent team, but they are a decent team that will beat us more often than not, imo.

nah its on boozer most of the time. he doesnt anticipate well or move his feet well enough to defend stretch 4s.

Nah, even when Boozer is on the bench, we give them good looks.

Douglas, Williams and Gallinari from 3P line against Bulls <--- ANNOYING

I dislike Bogans as much as the next guy.. but usually can atleast agree to the reasoning of letting him start for defensive purposes, and to have a stronger bench. But against an offensive-minded team, Bogans needs ZERO minutes. Besides for his single wide-open 3, he was a handicap. He gives 6 fouls and scrappy D on a Kobe or Wade, but if you're not playing a well-rounded team, you beat D'Antoni by matching his scoring pace.

Along with Korver, we just got schooled by Chandler and Fields (the FT putback and-1? ugh).

Lastly.. Brewer... I don't know if this is his ham-string or what, but the dude needs to practice his lay-ups and re-strengthen his legs for dunks. I like his D and his little garbage point game, but he needs to become a better finisher. I think I've seen him blow as many wide-open layups as Kirk Hinrich this year. Just unacceptable.

Agree but it makes it harder to make one pass to an open shooter. Teams are hedging on Rose badly, and he didn't look like had real good confidence in his J today.

Why didn't Taj play more. 13 mins after a weeks worth of rest, playing the Knicks who play Chandler at the PF?

And for the love of god stop starting bogans. Dude is completely useless
