[imdaman99]

Woodson fired at halftime :(

Still, rooting for Knicks. C'mon guys, we need more 2 game winning streaks from you :rockon:

[ripthekik]

Seriously?
No deng, noah, butler yet???

[STATUTORY]

:roll: at that starting 5 for the bulls

if the knicks lose this one...

[Phantom_Blue]

Bulls trotting out third stringers and backups in that starting lineup, with D-leaguers (Not Taj) off the bench.

Yeah, Woodson's job may be on the line this game.

[Sarcastic]

Bulls win, Woodson fired.

[bagelred]

According to a commenter, Jeff Van Gundy was going to be on tonight's ESPN broadcast, but now he's not. There would have been chants, I bet.

ok

You keep coming to wish us bad, don't the Magic get our pick?

[Draz]

I'm. Afraid of this game

[kurple]

You keep coming to wish us bad, don't the Magic get our pick?
no. unless we (the nuggets) somehow end up with a worse record than the knicks, or if we miss the playoffs and the knicks make it


we get the best pick

[NugzFan]

You keep coming to wish us bad, don't the Magic get our pick?

Why do people keep thinking this?

[niko]

Why do people keep thinking this?
Because you traded it in the Iggy trade? I'm not really up on my Denver trades i guess.

BTW, if i went in the Nuggets game thread and wished bad things on you, you'd call me a lot of names. Just saying...

[kmart]

Came here looking for pictures of Mila Kunis left unsatisfied.

[#number6ix#]

Knicks by 10+

i got nothing but love for you niko

but you understand why we want the knicks to lose? a top 8 pick could be huge for this franchise

[Eric Cartman]

Sorry ass bulls team and don't even get me started on the knicks.

[niko]

i got nothing but love for you niko

but you understand why we want the knicks to lose? a top 8 pick could be huge for this franchise
I understand, i also understand this is a KNICK GAME THREAD and we are not playing the Nuggets. Do you think we are unaware you'd like the Knicks to lose that you need to remind us every game? If you were, please note we are aware. :cheers:

[niko]

I don't even want to watch. That is where I am. it's ridiculous in NY, every time the Nets win (all 6) they are coming out of it, everything is ok (for all 15 seconds they talk about them, 0 seconds if they lose). Then Knick bashing on and on, but not realistic bashing, like whiny internet bashing. Never talk about what they could do, or should do. Just rehashing things. It's just so much fun.

I just love the NBA, woohoo....

[kurple]

well to be fair, it kinda seemed like you were unaware. you didnt even know why we wanted the knicks to lose

this is a BULLS GAME THREAD AS WELL. Dunleavy is a bulls player the last time i checked

cheers

[kurple]

and all i said was "lets go cavs" in yesterdays game thread

is that against the rules as well?

[niko]

and all i said was "lets go cavs" in yesterdays game thread

is that against the rules as well?
It should be. Let's go Cavs? :lol You're rooting for Meticode's team, by definition you are lame.

YOU'RE BETTER THAN THAT KURPLE, COME ON YOU KNOW YOU ARE BETTER THAN THAT...

[kurple]

:roll:


i know :(

its ok...i would call you a lot of names even if you didnt.

[It's A VC3!!!]

Geez, is that seriously the Bulls lineup? Let's hope the Nets get that lucky on Christmas day against them by facing a similar roster. If the Knicks lose this game an immediate contraction from the league would serve as the only applicable punishment.:lol

You faced a similar roster and got bounced from the playoffs. :lol Is this a joke post? Didn't you face Memphis and no one played? Did you face contraction?

Wait, i see - no Nate. Can't kill us like he did you.

Nate and Marco killed us. Without them we would've won. But seriously, no way Knicks should lose to this Bulls team. They should look at the Bulls and cherish at their injuries because the Knicks desperately need a win.

[niko]

On the commercials from WFAN i switch over to ESPN, and I just figured out what's lacking in their shows. Their hosts think they are important. Ryan Ruocco just spent five minutes on why he was right on something. Now, he made a good point (he was very early on the Paul George Bandwagon). But who gives a **** if he is right or wrong? Do you want sports news? Or news on if Ryan Ruocco was right or wrong?

ESPN has a fixation on whether ESPN made a good prediction and discussing what ESPN thinks.

[leMVP]

Knicks will win.

No way this Bulls team would stand chance against almight Knicks on their Homecourt.

Like you did with Memphis last week? or the Clippers tomorrow who have no wings?

[It's A VC3!!!]

Like you did with Memphis last week? or the Clippers tomorrow who have no wings?
we beat the grizzlies though. and i'm so damn thankful that jj reddick is not playing. that piece of shit was 99% of the reason we lost against them last time. he had like 20-something points and had such shit flop with like two minutes left that saw us down 1 to down 4 the next possession later and ruined our chances to win the game.

You read too much into that game, Clippers sleptwalk through the whole game because you were missing players. They turned it on for 5 minutes are erased your whole lead. After that was when people were deciding Livingston should start, etc. all kinds of ridiculous things. I throw that out, this is a totally different game. You are more healthy than they are.

Then it's canceled out. Clippers at home sleepwalking against the Nets B team and C team? Fine, I'll take it. And we were up by double digits at three different points of the game and within a matter of two minutes that lead was gone in each of the three separate occasions. We badly need a win tomorrow though. Would be fantastic to win against a good team and get on a three game winning streak. Also, being on TNT is a plus.

My point is not the Nets sucks or the Clippers are better, my point was you are making conclusions from a game that was a strange game, the Nets played their bench, and the Clippers pretty much didn't play because they knew they could win with no effort, which they did. The fact they could flip the switch for two minutes and erase your lead is a negative, not a positive.

To me this is a better indicator even though the Clippers are missing people because at least they can play somewhat like they want to (style wise) and if there is no effort on their part, they just suck, it's not they are overlooking you.

I may go, waiting on my comps.

[Bigsmoke]

The Bulls are so boring to watch :mad:

Their games always had me falling asleep.

That Warriors vs Mavs game tho

[Bigsmoke]

Knicks will win.

No way this Bulls team would stand chance against almight Knicks on their Homecourt.

New York City can't beat Chicago period.

The Knicks were 0-4 against the Bulls last season and the Nets failed to beat the Bulls' reserves in the playoffs.

[niko]

What's going on with the Bulls front office? I remember a few weeks ago in the roundtable everyone talking about it being dysfunctional with Thibedeou's assistants getting fired without his permission. People said him and the GM don't speak directly anymore.

[SpecialQue]

I've been burned by these shitty NY teams twice already, but for this one...do I dare bet $50 on the Knicks?

theres a direct correlation between the two.

[It's A VC3!!!]

bulls going to lose by 30. bulls defense and offense too horrid under these circumstances.

[Eric Cartman]

Bulls need to blow it up and tank for Wiggins/Parker ASAP.

[It's A VC3!!!]

Sink the Knicks further into the bottomless abyss! Let's go Bulls. Come on Dunleavy. I know your a mega-scrub but end the Knicks.

[jimmy77x]

Hardaway JR>>>>> jr brick,shump

[Bigsmoke]

Amare playing defense?

[Blue&Orange]

Stat will save this team.

[Johnny Jones]

Bulls finally make a bucket in the 2nd:bowdown: :applause:

[Blue&Orange]

Stat last year looked horrible when he returned, despite horrible start just before the injury he was top10 PER in the league. Most important he played adequate defense, Knicks allowed only 0.2ppg when he was playing.

Not surprised one bit the way he is starting to play right now. can only hope he stays healthy.

[poido123]

Bulls need to blow it up and tank for Wiggins/Parker ASAP.


I agree. I'm all for it.

[Draz]

Kmart dam

[WhySoInsecure?]

Woodson please go home. This retard just brought JR in to dribble the ball down and get an awful shot.

[brownmamba00]

chi look like a lottery team without deng

[poido123]

chi look like a lottery team without deng

Which is why we need to move him for picks or scraps.

We need a full blown tank.

[andremiller07]

Damn Amare actually looking really good and fluid out there as is Kmart dude looks like he's jumping like he was on the Nets with those swats. Crazy to think he can still get up like that after all the knee issues he had one of the most implosive 2 foot verts in NBA history.

I have never seen worse offensive ability than this current Bulls team, wtf happened to Boozer he use to be something like a go to guy didn't he in Utah?

[Clutch]

I got drunk and missed the first half. Can somebody quickly recap it for me ?

[SpecialQue]

Knicks FINALLY raping. Can't wait to collect tonight!!! :banana:

[plowking]

Which is why we need to move him for picks or scraps.

We need a full blown tank.

What happened to this being the season you guys win the championship? :oldlol:

[poido123]

What happened to this being the season you guys win the championship? :oldlol:


Same as how your team would go if they lost Lebron, you got me :oldlol:

[It's A VC3!!!]

The Knicks should not even move up in standings from this game. This was like playing a division III school. The Knicks should be embarrassed to be happy after this win.:lol

[b0bab0i]

Noah injured his ankle?

[DuMa]

JR Smith :lol

leading the choke job

[It's A VC3!!!]

Wow. The Knicks suck. No lie. Just downright horrid.

[Draz]

If we ****ing throw this game away I'm done for the season

[grantz]

Wow never to late for the Knicks to roll over wtf.:facepalm

[ClutchOver9000]

:oldlol: only the Knicks

[Young X]

Knicks choking hard. :facepalm

[The JKidd Kid]

I've never seen a team hack as muc as this Knicks team.

[It's A VC3!!!]

Why does Noah try driving. He's literally killing the Bulls with his retardation.

[WhySoInsecure?]

Great offense Woodson

[Project018]

dem knicks :bowdown: willing to lose like no other

[WhySoInsecure?]

Why is JR back in the game after the shit he pulled?

[Young X]

Pathetic :oldlol:

[ClutchOver9000]

I wonder if these players feel no shame?

[bluechox2]

woodson has no clue what hes doing

[DuMa]

just fire woodson before the 2 minute warning

[It's A VC3!!!]

END THE KNICKS! End them. Sink them so far into the bottomless abyss that they have no choice but to contract. Wow. this team is just beyond abysmal.:lol

[imdaman99]

hopefully they blow this so woodson can get fired

[The-Legend-24]

Knicks :roll:

[BlackVVaves]

END THE KNICKS! End them. Sink them so far into the bottomless abyss that they have no choice but to contract. Wow. this team is just beyond abysmal.:lol

Coming from the fan of a team that leads the league in 20+ blowouts. A league that contains the Milkwaukee Bucks.

I'd think you'd be the last person labeling teams abysmal..

[Patrick Chewing]

We should call this team, the New York Melo's.


Iso ball is all we know how to play.

[T-Time3]

dem knicks
OH MA LAWD
lol

[It's A VC3!!!]

noah can you stop driving you damn idiot.

[STATUTORY]

:facepalm


We should call this team, the New York Melo's.


Iso ball is all we know how to play.

seriously lets be real about something. Melo is UNCOACHABLE

the coaches that try to reign in his iso game, George Karl and MDA all can't coexist with him. Only an enabler from his agency group can "coach" this mofo

[bdreason]

If the Knicks lose this game. :facepalm

[It's A VC3!!!]

Noah lost the Bulls the game. This idiot tried driving like 15 different times and got the ball stripped or blocked on each of those times. Dude, do what's been asked, stop trying to drive...:facepalm

[BlackVVaves]

Soo..

Why is JR closing games out over Shumpert again?

[ClutchOver9000]

Soo..

Why is JR closing games out over Shumpert again?

Shump went back to the lockerroom.... bruised knee.

My question is why the hell does Hardaway Jr get no burn? Woodson's dumb ass has an obsession w/ JR Brick for reasons beyond comprehension...

[Patrick Chewing]

J.R. should be on a rusty ship to Alaska after this game win or lose

[It's A VC3!!!]

21 turnovers is not going to cut it for the Bulls. Good fight Bulls. Knicks, hit the delete button.:facepalm
Noah, every time you drive the ball you need to fork over $10,000 because it led to you suffering five turnovers and three blocked shots.

[KyleKong]

:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

[noob cake]

Such an awful basketball game.

Melo iso vs Chicago offense. Not even good defense being played.

Leastern Conference truly awful.

[BlackVVaves]

That entire Bulls possession was so sad. Reminded me of the Redskins last week.

[WhySoInsecure?]

Shump went back to the lockerroom.... bruised knee.

My question is why the hell does Hardaway Jr get no burn? Woodson's dumb ass has an obsession w/ JR Brick for reasons beyond comprehension...
Woody must be sleeping with his mom

[konex]

You know you've failed when you turn it over in crunchtime trying to force it to.....Dunleavy lol

[DuMa]

Melo rolling over his grave :lol

[The JKidd Kid]

If the bulls had a single competent offensive player they would've won this game.

[T-Time3]

this piece of article is from last year, but guess what IT'S TILL RELEVANT !!


"I’m a big believer in J.R.," Woodson said. "I told him that after the game. I'm in his corner and I'm going to do everything I can to see that he's successful for this ball club."

[BlackVVaves]

Is Boozer hurt?

[Patrick Chewing]

In other news, STAT played pretty damn good tonight :applause:

[Legends66NBA7]

Should Stoudemire start soon ?

[KG215]

Only this game would end with a timeout with 3.2 seconds to go in a 5 point game so the Knicks could just get the ball inbounds to run out the clock.

[Legends66NBA7]

Is Boozer hurt?

Maybe or he might be sitting because he blew defensive assignments.

[Scoooter]

The Knicks won?

I don't understand.

[jimmy77x]

J.R. should be on a rusty ship to Alaska after this game win or lose

Like i said earlier HW Jr>>>>JR brick/shump

[nathanjizzle]

trade melo and jr.

Perfectly summarizes the Knicks season

[Patrick Chewing]

The Knicks won?

I don't understand.


What has happened?? What year is this??

I'm scared.

[Scoooter]

I think Amar'e has to be really strategic about how he bends over, lest one of his knees explodes.

[SpecialQue]

Fvck it. I'll put $50 on the Knicks.

[Shep]

refs ****ed this game man. calling a defensive foul on Gibson when Anthony obviously fouled him? putting melo on the line to make it a 4 point game instead of bulls possession down by 2 with like a minute left? IF IN DOUBT MOTHER****ER, DO NOT BLOW YOUR ****ING WHISTLE

Is it me or is Amare making a lot of Javale McGee type plays this year?

[niko]

Is it me or is Amare making a lot of Javale McGee type plays this year?
It's you. This is about the only one. He has a lot of turnovers because he can't move well. Not quite McGee like.

[plowking]

It's you. This is about the only one. He has a lot of turnovers because he can't move well. Not quite McGee like.

I'm sure there was another play this season where he was facing the ring while everyone else was playing defense and guarding their man. :oldlol:

Could have been last season though. :oldlol:

[Heavincent]

It's you. This is about the only one. He has a lot of turnovers because he can't move well. Not quite McGee like.

Amare generally looks completely lost on the defensive end.

[bluechox2]

last 20 plays were like iso melo

[niko]

http://i.minus.com/iJ3k8BXsW9sIt.gif

Amare generally looks completely lost on the defensive end.
That's not a Javale McGhee play. We have different definitions. At times Amare can't move and looks like a person from an old age home going for pudding as his person blows by him. Javale McGhee has run the wrong direction at 9,000 mph with huge athleticism.
