Calderon playing great tonight - finding the seams in the D and nailing pullup Js in those seams.

He's too quick for Melo (and most nba SF) - Lance is their best matchup on him.

Lance in for AA again after the timeout.

Thats going to be a common theme.....Just my guess, based on AA's slow start lately and flat jumpshot. I think his legs are starting to show their age.

I'm not sure what's up with AA - he's not that old, he's barely 30. He looks off the past few weeks though. He was starting to really come on for a few weeks before that. It may just be that teams see what his spots are and they push him off those spots. He's great when he's in a very select few spots. You get him off those spots and he's below average on offense.

And Butler is just too much for him to defend.


I think we all just got so excited with the way he started we forgot that he's really just a average to kinda good player and he's gonna be inconsistent so that's what we're seeing now.

This is the Calderon I have been looking for. The one who looks for his offense
Thank God Fisher is no longer our coach, now let's get Calderon out of here:)

Any center with a little shake and bake gives Rolo problems.

Calderon needs to understand he needs to be aggresive like this on offense, for the starting unit to work.

I'm wondering where the real Jose Calderon is being held captive and who is the guy in his uniform that's tearing it up tonight?

To protect melo's alleged great defense.

Butler is the Bulls SG. It's not like he's their SF and Melo isn't playing him.


Bulls arent really running a conventional lineup. they dont have an actual pg or sf in the starting lineup/

Kirk Hinrich is a PG. Mirotic is a SF. Butler is a SG.


Hinrich really is a sg, mirotic is a pf.

Hinrich has been a PG literally his entire career as a professional basketball player.


He actually hasnt. His first time with chi he was a point after that he's been a two.

He's always been a PG. The only reason he hasn't played there as much has been D Rose. But when D Rose is out, he's their PG.

I don't think AA's body is used to these heavy starter minutes. It can add up quick, and impact your performance.

Zero free throw attempts for Melo tonight, after zero free throw attempts against Detroit.

I guess Melo just doesn't get fouled anymore!

knicks win 38-43 games in 16-17. rose MUST shoot no more than 14 shots per game, defer to kp6 + melo, and have a usage rate of less than 25%

There is absolutely nothing anybody can do against KP's hook shot. I don't care who's guarding him.
