Need to destroy the Bulls, their fanbase is an abomination. So many frontrunners were jumping on the Bulls bandwagon back in the Jordan days, they make me sick.

Plus the Chicago pizza just plain SUCKS.

We will gladly take Lavine though, when is he arriving? in 1 or 2 seasons?

P.S. - yes, I have some friends I grew up with in NY who repped the Bulls and their frontrunning ways pissed me off

Didn't think we get to this moment, where both the Bulls and Knicks are now must watch. This is going to be fun.

Expect no mercy from the Knicks, but expect Randle to own PatWill and Kemba to continue where he left off vs. Philly.

PREDICTION: KNICKS 115 BULLS 104

This is absolutely a must win game.

So the strategy to win this is to exploit their 2 biggest weaknesses:

1) Lack of Depth.
2) Poor pick and roll defense.

LMAO, I don't think I've ever seen some Bulls fans that level of meathead even in the 90s.

I look at those starting line-ups and think, how do the Knicks win games?

Chicago is already a better version of NY because they aren't dependent on just one player.

It's a thibs coached team we know what that is. Some nights they will look like they can beat anyone some nights they will look like absolute trash and lay and egg

The Knicks board is still the best place to go after a loss.

Well to be fair, if they’re old and bitter, they still don’t really have a taste of winning, so maybe that’s it.

I tried to find the spiciest takes in that game thread and this is all I could come up with. They are being so complimentary and polite over there....can't hate on that fan base much, they are being respectful.

Chicago Bulls board is basically diet-Toronto Raptors board.

I'm 100% checking their boards if they catch the L this Thursday. Out of the teams they can lose to, losing to Connecticut's finest THIBS and seeing their hometown prodigy child ROSE give them L would send them to shambles, atleast 5 meltdown threads will be made after the L.

The Bulls really a midrange team, we need to invade their space and make them take difficult shots.

Hope he goes for a 50 piece and Taj hit a 3.

my HS in the BX in the early 2000s was mostly Kings and Laker fans. Some Maverick fans too. Knicks were so bad so I made a group of Knick fans, we were always mad and jumped those bandwagon fans on site. Bulls fans in NYC in the 90s were just as soulless as you can get.

Chicago pizza isn't even a pizza.

If you can't hold it with one hand, it's not a pizza. 95% tomato 5% caca.

Exactly.

They take the least amount of 3's but shoot at the highest %, so if the 3pt line is defended, they will not put up many points.. whereas the Knicks are one of the top scoring teams in the league because we put up so many 3's.

And they're a weak rebounding team too, and give up a lot of points in the paint. If Knicks win the battle of the boards, and take advantage of the Bull's softness inside...Knicks win this game.

Feels like the perfect storm for our defense to suffocate them. They can’t space the floor and stretch us (pause) like most NBA offenses can

I was a huge Bulls fan during the Knicks Bulls days (and yes I was a bigger Knicks fan). MJ and Pippen were 2 of my most favorite players and loved Phil Jackson (the head coach).

force Derozan to take contested fadeaways from the mid range. I think RJ can contain him. Lavine is gonna be difficult to stop, but he's playing hurt so we might catch a break.

i think the X factor matchup is Lonzo vs Kemba. if we can get last night's kemba we win this game.
