This season:

12/08 Knicks 85 - 93 Bulls
12/21 Bulls 110 - 106 Knicks

Let's make it 3 in a row.














vs.



Kurt with an elbow infection? Ouch, that wouldn't be good. Nate might start tonight.

Joakim should have a great game at MSG.

Our Jeckel and hyde team will win.

Hope Boozer dominates again, need to shut the haters the **** up.

This forum is so much more readable with Boozer playing good.

Ugh. If necessarily so, lets hope for one of three things:

(a) He has one of his crazy good nights where his production outweighs his idiocy;

(b) He learned from his last couple of hideous starts; or

(c) Thibs recognizes his weaknesses, and uses him more appropriately.

Sadly, I think (a) is the most likely of the three because I don't think Nate learns anything, and I don't think Thibs has the inclination to take the ball away from him and give the rook 20 minutes.

Hey, Nate shoulda gotten the foul call on that one drive late in the game!

But yeah, hopefully he doesn't get too silly ambitious tonight. We'll need to play some clean, team ball to win this one.

Kirk has an elbow infection?

I just hope the bulls win tonight, but I am a little scared....the Knicks are looking for revenge, so I'm sure they've had this date circled on their calendar and will come out with more fire tonight. Hopefully they're like us though, when it comes to revenge games....which means, they lose, lol

boozer going for 7 straight double double.

he is 5th in double double with 18. only zach randolph, dlee, dwight, and jj hickson have more.

his efficiency stats have skyrocketed over last 6 games.

Not only that, but:

(a) In MSG;

(b) On Friday night;

(c) After a loss;

(d) In Melo's return from an emotional suspension;

(e) Without our first and second string point guards.

The Bulls are going to have to have a "Miami game" defensive game tonight AND Rip or Beli has to show up. I don't know that we can play that level of team defense with both Hinrich and Rose out. But we'll see. I've very concerned that defensive breakdowns at the top, are going to eventually lead to a lot of open looks at 3 for the Knicks. And that's a death warrant.

easy win

Just before I posted this topic, I checked up on RotoWorld what's going on with Kurt.

Kirk Hinrich (elbow) will be a game-time decision on Friday.
The Bulls medical staff is "concerned" about Hinrich's elbow possibly having an infection, and that would not be a good scenario. Hinrich missed Wednesday's game with the injury. If he can't go, Nate Robinson will once again start in his place. Nate Rob had 19 points, five rebounds, six assists, five steals and three 3-pointers in 42.5 minutes in a spot start for Hinrich on Wednesday. Jan 11 - 10:12 AM

Fingers crossed.

I hate the Knicks.....I hate their fans...I hate their boards...I hate the MSG...I hate the City of New York because of the the Knicks....but I wholeheartedly love the Games against them!!

GO BULLS!

Hope Kirk can go, could really use him out there for perimeter D

Knick fans are always wishing death and injury on our players.

Part III. Bulls looking to go 3-0 vs NY. Pretty pumped! Pacers beat em last night, we gotta beat em tonight.

Gunna be tough. I liken this to a game 3 in the playoffs where we have already beat the **** out of a team twice and you just know game 3 is going to be different.

We need some exceptional guard play out of our 3rd and 4th string point guards tonight i.e nate and teague.

I really hope Kirk plays. The Knicks don't have Felton , but I don't think Nate can contain Kidd. I don't feel good abut tonight because NY and their fans want revenge, plus they just came off a two game losing streak. Hard to picture them lose 3 in a row. I hope the Bulls win. Don't want them to lose 2 in a row again.

a test game. The bulls have been so bleeping inconsistent I could not guess how tonight will go.

We're a smart team and well coached, lets see if that's enough tonight.

Thibs better unleashed Jimmy Butler & put RIP in the dog house.
