thomas makes an improbable shot, but he's made that shot before. strange
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%

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.

LT's hustle back on D led to that turnover and score

I think thats going to be one of the major changes......I'm not seeing Phil adding anybody from the outside as a starter.

Replacing Aflalo with Lance was the right idea
Thank God Fisher is no longer our coach, now let's get Calderon out of here:)

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.

As I said at halftime - Thomas with the starters is a good idea. Doubt we'll see a change next game, but this is clear evidence.
Down to 2, lets go Knicks !

Hinrich really is a sg, mirotic is a pf.

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

I'd rather see Lance in there unless Afflalo can start playing like he did early in the season and i'm not so sure i'd say his legs are that tired just 33 games into the season and he didn't even play the first 2/3 weeks. Lance brings a whole nother level when he's out there though.

It really depends on the matchup, I think.
