Except Eisly can shoot

Isiah gave Chaney a strong vote of confidence on MSG.

At least Thomas sees that this team has no depth, no heart, and that Van Horn is really a choker. Bring on the trades, f**ck the "momentum", chagnes are needed badly.

van horn is really a choker...he really showed it tonight.(25pts 5rebs). oh & last five games too right? c'mon dude, he's played well most of the time he's been here, except when he was hurt. don't hate unless he gives you a reason. lately he's been our best player by far. not to down talk fwill who's a PLAYER!

Wake up call: The knicks have to beat the NETS! I hate the Nets and I hate their fans. I hate it when I have to hear Richard freakin Jefferson say the Knicks should rebuild! I hate it when the fans think Richard Jefferson is so good. I would be good if I was getting the ball passed to me from JASoN KIDD!!

The Nets are a bunch of no talent ass clowns without Jason Kidd. Richard Jefferson is athletic but he is not a great talent. K-Mart is not top10 in the NBA and without Jason kidd they would be Terrible. I WANT TO SEE THE KNICKS DESTROY THE NETS!! I WANT THOSE BASTARD FANS TO HAVE A WAKE UP CALL!! BEAT THE NETS!

As much as Knick fans here like to pin losses on KVH, it takes more than 1 player to win a game. Our starters tonight put up pretty good numbers across the board. However... since 2 of our fill-in starters tonight are normally key contributors off the bench, we had no bench support.

I hope FW's groin injury isn't too serious. This really stinks.

The Knicks continue to be an unbalanced team. In a game like this, Doleac would have been more effective than McDyess... but unfortunately he's either really hurt or we were just making room for Amaechi. This game came down to a handful of plays, and with slightly more depth, we win this.

But how much depth does a team neeed to beat the Bulls, who were playing on the road? This roster is still flawed. Chaney still has to go. More transactions still need to be made.

The Roster maybe flawed but the number 1 priority is firing Chaney. He is just a bad coach. He gets out coached constantly. I really dont like him. I just hope we beat the NETS

C'mon? We give up 104 pts and Van Horn is the choker? That's really tough to say here. The way I see it, with Houston and Williams out we had to play guys off our bench that we didn't want to play, and ultimately, there were times during the game were they got out of the flow. Norris had one nice shot, but forced up to bricks the next two times down, and let the Bulls pull away a little. To me that was a HUGE turning point in this ball game. I know Norris is trying to impress his teammates, but you gotta play smart. There is never an excuse for not playing smart.

And then there was a horrible call, as KVH clearly had an "and one" opportunity taken away by a bad call. The bulls defender was clearly in the restricted area. KVH should've had a free throw instead of a jump ball. That took away an opportunity to cut it to two, and take away Bull momentum.

And the final nail was when Anderson missed the layup. Its hard to blame it on Anderson, because it went in and out, but that layup would've tied the game with only seconds left.

The bottom line is the defense suffered tonight, and there was a little bit of fire lost without FW and Allan. It's a bad loss certainly, but you cannot win them all, and its harder to do so without your starting backcourt. Lets hope those guys get healthy in time for NJ.

exactly playa, some dumb knick fans like you just don't get it

It doesn't matter man, don't you see it, they did what the Layden/Chaney era Knicks do, they had an opportunity that might not come again for a while and they blew it. They found a way to loose. A good team should be able to beat the Bulls w/out Pippen and Chandler even with players of Houston's and FW's magnitude out. We were at home; there are no excuses for loosing to the Bulls at home. Chaney blew the game completely; once again they were unprepared to play as defensively they looked clueless. I watched the whole game and one thing stood out, a remarkable way to find a way to loose. Exactly what every Knicks fan have seen for the last 2 years. This loss basically erased the 4 game winning streak as we failed to catch Philly and let the Heat overtake us despite blowing them out twice. It is really really disappointing. And with Houston's persistent knee and back problem, the next few games look bad. We'll probably get blown out by the Nets like we always do (and don't bring up preseason please) and then Cleveland will run us into the ground, and the Rockets will have no problem with JVG knowing our team inside out. That’s a 4 game loosing streak waiting to happen. This Bulls game was a must win. This is not personal man; I just don’t understand how you can't see the hopelessness of this whole thing. We need to blow this up and rebuild, or at least change the players. I'm tired of watching this boring losers being coached by a boring looser.
