Knicks just have to grind this out. They were sleep walking to start but they have to pick it up. The Bulls are not offensive juggernauts.

See...Williams to the rescue
Thank God Fisher is no longer our coach, now let's get Calderon out of here:)

Sucks being doubled up in the first quarter. Remains to be seen if we can chip into a significant Bulls lead.

legit question: why did it take 11 minutes for D Will to come into the game when the starters got behind by 17?

And...why was Seraphin--who has been out of the rotation-- off the bench first before D Will playing KOQ and him together--something Fish has not done all season.

Truly mind-boggling.

I think the Knicks will climb back into this.

Seraphin and KO SHOULD never see the floor together. That pairing is simply counter productive. Too small and they do the same exact thing except KO is the better passer

No...they were ready. Had plenty of days off, and prepared for this matchup. It's our starting 5 thats the real problem. Too many slow foot players on the floor at one time. Pretty much the entire starting 5 have slow feet.....So their reaction time on defense is going to be slow......and they have nobody in the starting 5 that can create his own shot or penetrate. So the offense will struggle and the defense will struggle, against most NBA teams. This has been a glaring issue since day one.....But it's going to take more slow starts like today b4 Fisher makes any changes.

I think the more I watch the Knicks, I have to question why they don't try a starter change. Too many slow starts this season. Way too many.

Seraphin was in to try and match up with Gasol. KP foul trouble likely changed the rotation.

Some around here are not too happy when I bring these facts up

Guys...it just sucks that our team is out-coached night in and night out putting us at a constant disadvantage.

30 games in Fisher is still searching for his rotation. But it would seem like common sense that if you fall behind AND your scoring starter just got pulled for picking up early fouls, put in an instant scorer.

Sure they will....but why? Why not put a lineup on the floor that provides more speed and penetration type players with energy like D.Will.....They we can start climbing ahead instead of climbing back into it.

The starters have played better than that before. It was mostly about missing most of their shots. If they made their shots it wouldn't have been such a big lead.
