New York Knicks

@

Chicago Bulls

Probable Starters (subjest to change)

Stephon Marbury - Jamal Crawford - Eddy Curry - Zach Randolph - Quentin Richardson

Chris Duhon - Kirk Hinrich - Ben Wallace - Joe Smith - Andres Nocioni

Well we're hosting the Kicks who are now 8-24. This is a must win because if we lose it will be the worst loss of the season.

Oh and one more thing....

FREE TYRUS

United Center, 7:30 CST. Broadcast on CSN and League Pass

Repeat after me, bench Duhon start Thabo.

Duhon's time is over. Thabo needs to be in the lineup over Du.

This way we won't have to double too much and Thabo is, even if he is a bad shooter, still better than Duhon on the offensive end.

Hopefully Deng is back.

Gordon with 30 points in a easy win.

I wouldn't mind seeing Thabo start. His decision making is still questionable, but so is the decision making of ALL our guards.

You guys will win this game. If a depleted Kings blew out the Knicks at MSG, Im sure you will blow them out....

Over under- 8- The score the Bulls win by.

Over under- 600- The combined weight of Curry and Randolph.

The way the Bulls have been playing this year I'm not just going say this is an easy win. The Bulls has regressed this year and have been playing well below their talent. I'm just going to hope the bulls come out focus and execute well for this game. I hope they pull away early and keep it going so they won't get back in it(I'm tired of close fourth qtr games). I just want them to bring their A game.

Curry has begun preparation for this game early

New York is scheduled to visit the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday at the United Center. The Knicks are a brutal 1-12 on the road this season. Their only road victory was on December 5th at New Jersey.

Win.

I would really like to see Ben Gordon have a huge game against New York. Really exploit their back-court's defensive woes, and get like 35 or 40. With that said:

Bulls 110
New York 79

Ben Gordon 38 pts
Kirk Hinrich 27/7/11
Tyrus Thomas 15/14/4

I want to blow these guys out so bad..

My prediction ... Bulls Win ... Thomas finally canned.

8 straight losses; 15 of 18 losses recently.

Knicks have 9 games over 13 days beginning Tuesday. None easy; some impossible; but at least the Knicks are finishing up a road trip.
Is there even one game in that stretch that they can hope to win?

At some point enough is enough even for Dolan. If he makes no change the Knicks risk very quickly (by end of January) accumulating 20 straight losses. The fans in MSG are already roundly booing IT. They will go nuts over the next two weeks.

Yeah, it already seems like we've played the Knicks our season worth. It seems like we play them every second week or so..

..come to think of it, we've played the same teams alot this season already which means it will happen again the second half of the season. What terrible scheduling, where is the variation?

Hey gotta get your easy wins early.

airjordanair · Post #16 » by **airjordanair** » Mon Jan 7, 2008 12:53 am

we can't under estimate the knicks, they would give anything to beat us, and will die trying.. we should win, my predictions

- bulls win by 6 (with a 10-3 run to cap off the game, no FGs either way with 1.03 remaining)
- deng to sit (why risk him against a team like this will be the thoughts)
- duhon 3-7 fgs (3-6 3 pointers)
- gordon 29 points
- wallace 2 points, 17 boards, 3 blocks

hopefully noah can get some PT.

TT needs more playing time too. Every time he plays heavy minutes he plays well.

newskoolbulls · Post #19 » by **newskoolbulls** » Mon Jan 7, 2008 3:15 am

Eddy Curry 25 pts, 1 rb, 0 personal fouls

Bulls win.

Post #20 » by **DuckIII** » Mon Jan 7, 2008 2:38 pm

Obviously a game the Bulls have to win at this point in the season.

Its a home game.

The Bulls will be coming off 2 full days of rest.

The Knicks have lost 8 in a row.

Curry and/or Randolph are having a bad game every night. They aren't meshing at all (who could have predicted that?).

And most importantly: The Bulls are way, way better.

Win the game, move to 5-2 under Boylan, enjoy your 2 more days of rest, and get ready for an important 4 game road trip.
