Ill take the win but those stupid turnovers. We should have won this game by 30 points. I hope Gallo cam out of his slump. We still need an inside game. Teams are still putting 3 men on Amear so we have to shoot the ball well untill they decide to come off Amear then we can do the pick and roll.
Now let me go downstairs to my recording studio and mix this song.

Like I said earlier I really think you can connect Amares bad shooting and TO's to our great outside shooting. The Bulls sagged massively inside not expecting us to have another weapon. Well, we do have another weapon. And it say Baaad Muthaplukka on it.

Tell the world. Leave the Knicks free on the outside and most of the time we will make you pay. Run out on D, and Amare will make you regret that too.

This is exactly what we dreamed of with Amare the inside threat and Gallo et al lighting it up from outside. Spacing baby, spacing. And we did it real well tonight.

What I love is aside from the lull in the 3rd they've put in the work energy wise in all 4 games. This is the beginning of a team identity.

Well if this is D'Antoni's Basketball style the Knicks are going to loose a ton of games this year. the turnovers are diacussing. Amear must have grease on his hands. If the knicks loose this one it's going to be a long season. This is a very sloppy game. Bul I'll take the win. Nothing is open on the inside and no knick can penitrate this Bulls defense.

Dude are you even paying attention. We just won a road game against a team that's supposed to be far better than us, with our best player having a awful game. We shut the Bulls down for good stretches and we ran off TO's that our D created. We actually played good D for much of the game and executed on O. Yeah we had a great night shooting, but that's gonna happen more often than you think. TD is a good shooter, as is Gallo usually, so this is not a fluke as far as they're concerned.

The thing is, that is how the offense is designed to work, that's why guys were taking confident shots. You run your offense to get open shots and if you hit them you can blow a team out or at least get a wire to wire win.

We did this even without our PnR working yet. Also notice we didn't see Mason.

Papabear Says

Do you really think that we will be hitting 3s at 70% from the field every night? I don't think so.In D'Antonio's system you live or die by the 3. This is also hurting Amir'es game. Hey I'll take the win but we need to cut way down on turnovers and find ways to open up the middle and drive to the basket. Now Ive got to get downstairs to my studio to mix this song I stopped just to watch most part of the game.

Normally I'd agree with that Andrew but not tonight -- tonight Amar'e was just a turnover machine...he was just coughing up the ball even with good position in close..Plus he blew that dunk ...Dude just hasn't played well yet but he is giving good effort. What a difference a couple of shot-blockers does for our defense.

Tremendous backcourt play tonight and finally Gallo showed up..

Even though his offense tonite was very limited, Amare still played good D, right up until fouling out.
