NFT: Knicks @ Bulls 8pm

if not for blowing a 20 plus point lead to the Blazers. The Knicks better bring their A game tonight.

will NOT play against the Knicks.

He will be out for a few more days in re Covid.

Bulls received a boost when they elevated Caruso to the starting lineup. His defense is amazing. Lonzo Ball is also playing terrifically on D and he has been consistently the Three.

Overall the Bulls play tenacious D which triggers a lot of fast break points. Bulls go ten deep and don't lose anything at all when the bench comes in.

Bulls might be the best small-ball team in the NBA.

Can the Knicks be patient in posting up their bigs against the smaller Bulls in the paint?

They 6-4 in their last 10 so they havnt set the world on fire, still very good though, habe to slow down Derozan and make Lavine tske difficult shots, which he will hit every so kften..

Bqll has been shooting the 3 well recently as well...

Donavon is doing a good job of keeping 1 of Derozan or Lavine in the games at all times, makes their bench better when they do that because they always have a scorer on the court

Shoukd not be in starting lineup

Rose and iQ should start with Burke being the first rotational piece

Kemba after that

I would have Fournier sub out RJ and find time for Grimes

Last comment. Obi needs 30 plus minutes a game. He’s just going to get better and better

But their last five was on a West coast swing right after they lost Vucevic who was just starting to come around.

GS - L
LAC - w
LAL - W
Por - L
Den - W

Not too shabby. I think most teams would take 3-2 after that kind of a road trip. Bulls bench is playing so well they are having trouble finding minutes for Coby White who is returning from a shoulder injury. Big reason is the development of Ayo Dosunmo who is a really exciting player to watch. Coach can't keep him off the floor.

Very good point aboit the west coast trip...

and yeah Ayo is really good, brings a ton of energy, i think it was the Nets game i was warching and he basiclaly changed the game with his speed

..

..

for some Randle/Obi small ball.

down 7 to detroit at half

This one may get ugly.

Lavine gets smacked across the head no call, Randle gets smacked across the arm, no call..

Then they decide to call a foul on Lavine driving to the basket, i mean come on, stop picking and choosing when to call fouls and just officiate the game..

the inconsistency is maddening

And not get more than 10-12 minutes a game

not scored yet. Very unusual

..

Just killing us on offense. Can’t make a damn layup.

.

I was expecting worse.

no idea how

with the way he's played lately.

and it balloons up to 10.

so of course take him out

if he isnt going to contest shots why the fuck is in? thats just terrible coaching

he’d be done for the night.

leta dribble into 2 guys and then throw a wild pass when you have nowhere to go..

omg trade him while you still can please, j cant stand watching him play basketball

But Caruso is ridiculous. That's not defense, that's mauling.

.

We’re paying you $17 million for a reason, dude.

He's been fine. Nobody besides him IQ and Rose can hit a shot from the field.

Knicks not shooting well at all and it feels like Bulls can pull away at any point

Rose, Burks, Fournier, Randle, Noel

No call.

Lebron James is a scumbag. Silver won’t do it, but he should be suspended for 10+ games for that shit

But pleaaaaase stop doubling Caruso off the dribble. Take your chance with him rather than letting him zip it to a wide open Lavine, DeRozan or Ball

That pass was not fine

with the smaller lineup.

Let’s finish this one.

With Obi at the 5

come on lets go

With the way we've shot the 3.

been trash tonight, and of course their 2 worst 3 point shooters make 3s

Terrell Suggs, Coby White, Derrick Jones etc...these bums do nothing all year till they start chucking against the Knicks.

Amen. Best players need to play, and Obi has the tools to hold his own on defense.
