[senelcoolidge]

and the Knicks lose again. Nothing new.

[Budadiiii]

Why isn't Rose dropping 30 every night like Westbrook?

He's had plenty of time to recover from his injuries but yet he's regressed as a player from 4 years ago?

What the **** is wrong with this guy? :facepalm

[Optimus Prime]

That thread title...hilarious typo, or intentional?

Knicks...22-5... :roll:

[HurricaneKid]

Did I miss something here? Did the NBA get a court order to grant the NYK an extra 17 wins due to eminent domain or something?

[SamuraiSWISH]

Can't wait for the Bulls to sodomize Melo yet again, and make him regret letting his wife make the decisions for him in his life. This would've been basketball heaven for this guy. What an imbecile. Windy City, all day.

To be fair, Melo is going to be paid a lot more money to stay with the Knicks. There's nothing wrong with choosing the money, but the fool needs to stop spewing nonsense like he stayed with the Knicks to "win".

He wanted to get paid. That's fine, but stop lying about the choice and at least be honest about it.

And Pau came to Chicago because he wants to live there, not because he wants to win.

He an imbecile too?

No, because you guys are ****** homers.

[SamuraiSWISH]

Thoughts on D-Rose?
Home boy has been playing poorly since the Portland game. Easing into this comeback. Thinking he's saving stuff for the post season. You saw how he completely obliterated that fraud Dame Lillard. That in house Adidas rivalry.

Still got his MVP poster on my wall. Waiting for some consistency from this dude.

Damian isn't really a fraud, just doesn't play D. I hope we catch Portland in the playoffs so Westbrook can defecate on him

[ballinhun8]

Think we'll see a closer game than opening night.


Knicks usually play well at the UC. And we haven't been anywhere near dominant on our home floor.

[SamuraiSWISH]

I know, I'm just being competitive. Yea, Ninja Turtlebrook been BALLIN. MVP caliber numbers in limited minutes. Don't like Dame Lillard ... so yea, would love to see Russell torch that guy come playoff time. I need to see Russell run the EPIC PG gauntlet v.s. Dame, v.s. Steph, and v.s. CP3 in the playoffs. That would be an ICONIC run.

My ideal playoffs...

Westbrook destroys Lilard, CP3, Curry in the playoffs and advances to the Finals. Rose destroys Wall, Lowry, Irving and meets his homeboy in the last series of the season.

Game 7, everything on the line, Rose hits a floater over Ibaka to take the lead with 6 seconds to go. Westbrook grabs the ball immediately and rushes to the other end like a demon possessed. Gasol tries to contest but instead we witness the nastiest dunk of the decade. As the ball is forced down the rim's throat by Russell's power the crowd in the United Center is dead silent. Goatbrook stands tall with a smirk on his face, he won it all, and did it with style. :bowdown:

I was, but Westbrook winning would be more hilarious. Besides, I am still waiting for "that" Rose to show up. Last time I saw him was in 2012.

[bagelred]

Melo bulls bulls Melo should bulls Melo win Melo Bulls Chicago money Bulls Melo bulls winning Melo

[Real14]

Knicks by 2 or more. Top scorers will be hardaway jr and stoudamire. Gasol will not have a great game as well.:pimp:

Doesn't matter who we play, our energy is so important.

We can beat anyone if we are hustling.

[JohnFreeman]

Phil Jackson ‏@PhilJackson11 15m15 minutes ago

do I have to mute this game? Chuck just remember your fundamental...key to 🔺

[nathanjizzle]

And Rose didn't shit on Lillard doe

lillard was 1 dimensional that game. he hit alot of threes. rose was more dimensional, he hit 3s, mid range, floaters, layups which is more of an impact on the team which is why they won. lillard is 0-2 against rose so far

[Milbuck]

Who would've thought Jimmy would be a better player than Melo this year :oldlol:

124 million, Knicks fans. Let that number sink in.

[MellowYellow]

Except that he hasn't. Melo would also have much better numbers playing with the bulls instead of the knicks.

Dude is putting up the worst numbers since his 2nd year, on a garbage team where he's far and away the best offensive option, now he's gonna dominate the stat sheet on a high quality team? Whatever gap Melo *might* create between his hypothetical numbers on the Bulls and Jimmy's 21 ppg on 60% TS is absolutely shat on by the monumental difference in defense.

[MellowYellow]

Why are the Bulls playing like they don't care? Is this really the best team in the east? :facepalm

It doesn't matter, if Melo was on this bulls team instead of Butler he would carry them to the ship ez. Bulls wont win a ship if Rose don't return to superstar lvl, and they won't win with Jimmy freakin Butler as their best player

Melo is putting up basically his career numbers minus 2pts because he's taking 1 less shot a game.

No shit the Bulls aren't winning without MVP level Rose.

Doesn't change the fact that Jimmy > Melo. Melo hasn't won jack shit in his career and now he's carrying a team to the championship easily........:roll:

He took a way worse team than current bulls to the wcf, so I don't see why not?

[poido123]

Knicks are playing well. They are matching our intensity and playing hard.

We need to raise it to another level this 4th quarter.

[Real14]

:eek: :applause:

[MastaKilla]

Amare coming back so late in the game is WILD and not FRESH

Hardaway playing WILD and not REAL

Let's go Amare:applause:

I hate the Bulls, but the Knicks fans are just horrible

[Hotlantadude81]

Bulls getting owned by a washed up scrub like Amare.

They're looking less and less impressive by the game.

[poido123]

Where dem Knicks fans at now, doe?

:lol


Dont speak too soon.

This game is in the balance. Knicks have been tenacious all night and deserve to win IF they do so.

Bulls need some magic here. Maybe run a few hard screens for a pick and pop 3 to mirotic, brooks or dunleavy?

Got to get our shooters open. Maybe even work the ball down low to gasol, try and get him close to the basket.

Shut up.

Amare has won titles?

The only one with a title in the Bulls line up is Pau. None of the rest of Bulls have done anything.

I meant make him a permanent starter.

Get him off the suck ass knicks though

[poido123]

Yea he should of been a starter long time ago and phuck your salty white text.

[BurningHammer]

Amare just won't risk the 6th foul.

[dontgetchoked]

ugly ass game. even if we win, i'm still mad. Knicks played a good game though. I dont think we're the best team in the east if we don't get it together. Gave up too many offensive rebounds, and our offense was just bad in general.

[poido123]

GG knicks.

We still own your souls :lol

Beep beep!

Suck it to Navy, Hotlantadude and the other haters hoping for a Bulls loss. :cheers:

Who cares about 20 years ago? Nobody was talking about 20 years ago... Stop making strawman arguments to try and cover the fact that you don't want to hear the truth.

You throw out vague one liners and then facepalm when I can't read your mind. What an idiot.

It's not hard to understand dude.

We are the last team you should be talking trash to.

Our team has won 6 championships and your lowsy franchise has 1.

Our team is ticking along nicely, we have your team covered :pimp:

First of all, winning titles 20 years ago does not make your franchise critic proof. Sorry to burst your bubble, but it doesn't. It doesn't work that way. Your IQ must be in the neighborhood of 50 or 60 if that is what you truly believe. The only thing that separated the Bulls from the Hawks is MJ. You guys got lucky and drafted one player.... Otherwise the Bulls would have been a first or second round exit throughout the 90's just like the Hawks because Pippen isn't winning any titles as a number one guy.

Second... I had no idea if you were a NY or a Bulls fan. I'm not a regular reader of game threads here... And even if I was, I don't think you're a memorable enough poster to remember.

Third, I'm more critical of the Hawks franchise than anyone... So it's a laughable strategy to try and get under my skin. These silly attempts at arguments are more offensive than anything you might say about Atlanta.

atlanta is just another mediocre franchise, they are underachievers worried about stealing hawks fans money but giving them false hopes of becoming better.

[All Net]

Great performance by butler

[Real14]

Great performance by butler
Only because of bad defense by the knicks:facepalm

[Hotlantadude81]

Great performance by butler

He puts up some really good numbers... But when he plays the Hawks or something I don't really fear him. Chicago's size is always the biggest concern. But the Bulls lack depth also.

I take that back... Coach Tibs does not develop Chicago's bench. He is another Lenny Wilkins. He runs his starters into the ground to win a ton of regular season games... Gasol is playing 37 minutes per game for instance.
