Game Thread: Knicks at Bulls- 12/18/14

Good evening! While the rest of the NBA freaks out over the Rajon Rondo trade, the poo-butt Knicks will face the heavily short-handed Bulls on national TV.

Amar'e Stoudemire, it turns out, will NOT take his rest day for this one, but Carmelo Anthony will sit to give his sore left knee a break. Derek Fisher's going buckwild with his starting lineup:

Calderon, Hardaway, Wear, Stoudemire and Aldrich will start today. Yeeesh

AW HELL YEAH.

And for the Bulls:

Rose out. Gibson gametime. Rose not at United Center and may not travel to Memphis.
