Game Thread: Knicks vs. Bulls- 12/22/09

Chicago Bulls at New York Knicks, Dec 22, 2009 7:30 PM EST


Birdview_chicago_1898_medium
Evening, parakeets. It's the Knicks and the Bulls tonight in New York. D'Antoni's li'l scouts were able to get some measure of revenge against the Bobcats on Sunday. Can they take one back from the only other team to beat them in the last two weeks? The Bulls are coming off a titanic meltdown last night, which could either mean they're too downtrodden to compete, or they're pissed and ready to rumble. I've heard some say Vinny Del Negro's job is on the line tonight, so it'll be interesting to see how the players respond to yesterday's events.

Comment along if you're watching and don't forget to check out Blog-a-Bull. GET 'EM.

for the first time in years

i am expecting a knicks win. I’m feeling good about the knicks, and feeling good about how much the bulls suck.

by jayvb on Dec 22, 2009 6:58 PM EST reply actions  

im reading the blog-a-bull comments

and i feel like it’s their “isiah” years over there. We gotta get this win tonight. I say we “rest” hughes another game whether he’s hurting or not – I like the team much better without him.

by jayvb on Dec 22, 2009 7:03 PM EST up reply actions  

aye

i think this will be a good test for the knicks. see if their new persona is for real, or if they come out and play to the level of the deflated competition.

VDN’s job on the line? Who knows how the bulls respond, if at all

by Ray Smuckles on Dec 22, 2009 7:06 PM EST up reply actions  

vdn's job on the line

might be the reason they DONT play hard. I hear he’s an awful coach.

by jayvb on Dec 22, 2009 7:07 PM EST up reply actions  

Everyone is an awful coach when your team is bad

They were singing his praises during the celtic series.

Personally though, yeah, he sounds terrible. Like to see the knicks jump on ’em out of the gate. should be a good one

GET 'EM!

My shit is the truth
I get in the booth
And start spitting like I’m missing a tooth;
You listening duke?
I’m gripping the coupe,
lifting the roof,
Sip the orange juice mixed with the goose
or shots of the yak. I got gats that could lift up a moose,
stay with a biscuit to shoot
like I’m Bishop in “Juice.”

But real talk.

I’m most excited for this game to see Ghostface (presumably) guard Derrick Rose.
I feel like Duhon is going to get burned to some degree (no pun intended),
and I’m interested to see if D’Antoni is going to let Gallo try to check Rose.
The cock has shown he can match up with some guards (albeit mostly 2s) with his length and sheer willingness, and has recently proven that if he gets burned, he’s capable of blocking a motherfucker or two.

Yes sir. I think you should make a Jonathan Bender shirt

with his face a bunch of times, and put a bunch of different hats on him.
It would look silly.

But whatever one already exists, I’d probably get anyway.

Cannot stop the Cock.

Guy is everywhere. As an aside, I was watching the game the other day, and it occurred to me that I would probably strongly, strongly dislike him if I ever met him in person. He’s got that douchey way of looking like he’s always flexing or puffing out his chest.

The Bulls play much worse on the road and the second game of back to backs.

Vinny del Negro is clueless, and the players have figured it out.

Bulls announcers really rag on Gallo

Listening to the 2nd Bulls broadcast in less than a week has been weird. At least I can watch the game from home, but I should probably turn the sound off.

Stacy King was defending Gallo’s skills tonight because Neil Funk would not let up on him. Gallo did miss at least 10 shots in a row, so I can’t really argue. Sometimes he’s like a statue at the 3-point line and everyone on offense seems to freeze up with him.

Winning ugly is still winning.
