Kris Dunn is looking like the Kris Dunn Minny hoped they were getting when they drafted him..

[Ingus]

I'm scared. Bulls are 8-2 in their last 10 games. They seem to have caught a good rhythm, and we already lost to them few weeks ago. Let's see what happens

[Don Che]

and Robin cancels out Kanter heavily


hopeuflly Kanter can bounce back

[PistolPete]

Tank train needs to gain some traction tonight. Let's go boys!!

WE GOT JUSTIN HOLIDAY! - maxinquaye on Derrick Rose trade Day

Mcdermott watch starting at sf replacing Lance

[maxinquaye11]

Knicks running and scoring more in transition. two athletic dunks for KP. I want me an alley.

Beasley scoring

1st unit did well and now the second unit is adding more and maintaining the lead.


Knicks utilizing the double drag play a lot.

[maxinquaye11]

close game now. Knicks have no interest defending the 3 ball at all

3 straigh bulls treys

[rebound]

Jack is hard to watch.

[maxinquaye11]

he is doing okay. he directed the transition well. oh we're going at the pg again like we did felton.

[maxinquaye11]

Our star needs to bring this home.

Kanter no presence.

why can't we free up mcdermott for threes?

beasley just attacking without thinking

[Ingus]

Our star needs to bring this home.

Agreed.

[PistolPete]

KP shooting way less 3's these last few games. That pick and roll play always has him a few steps inside the arc. It's like Hornacek's gameplan is to get him to the line more often, but I don't see that working. I'd let the 3's fly (since I think the Knicks are last in that dept.).

[maxinquaye11]

KP now responding to the call. Ntikilina is our star too and he did well on two pick and roll plays - taking a short shot and passing to Katner.

Ntikilina and KP for the road win.

[maxinquaye11]

man,

put ntikilina and kp on the pick and roll

[Don Che]

KP needs to know when NOT to flop

[rebound]

we need a coach. this team is becoming unbearable to watch on both ends of the court.

[PistolPete]

Frustrating. Getting outplayed again.

[rebound]

courtney lee is an unmitigated disaster when it matters.

[rebound]

tank you very much jack and hornacek.
