Sorry for no game thread. I'll get one next game. Promise 30-27 Bulls, but Malik Rose has been killing. For some reason the Bulls think he's Shaq or something and keep fouling him. He has 12 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 assists in the first quarter. Oh and he's 10/10 from the line, too.
Knicks lead 56-52 at the half. Francis has been killing. He has 14 points at halftime. Kirk Hinrich is the reason why the Bulls aren't down more. He has 17 points. Btw, I wish I had my first round pick.
We should have kept the lead, Francis' turnovers at the end were a killer, but I'm not going to knock him - he kept our lead out of reach until the last few seconds. Things to note -Francis came off the bench ... again after Larry Brown "dubbed" him a starter. -Qyntel Woods came off a good game at Memphis and didn't play today. -David Lee didn't play -This is lineup #36 -The refs were terrible on both sides
