Tom Thibodeau can sleep on his two ears, it would appear the waiver is no longer relevant to the veteran coach. The Knicks string the big hits like pearls, and even now they’re among the best teams in the East. Sixth success in a row tonight in Chicago, and yet another defeat for the Bulls who are sinking more and more…
THE HOME BOX SCORE OF THIS CONTENDERS DUEL (no), FIND IT HERE
Wow, how good it felt to be a Knicks fan these past few weeks. The intergluteal groove sweated a lot at the beginning of the season, given the worrying lack of regularity shown by Tom Thibodeau’s boys, to the point of questioning the place of Coach of The Year 2021 within the Big Apple. Thibs can thank Julius Randle for work elsewhere (not easy to predict six months ago when the two nearly came to blows), but tonight the victory was collective, with four of the starting five hitting 19 or more pawns. For example, everyone is driven when it comes to beating the Bulls.
However, Chicago was doing well from the first quarter: three points ahead, good percentages (12/18) and collective work, everything seemed to be in place. Everything… except someone who takes the initiative. Bulls leading scorer tonight? Zach LaVine, from the top of his… 17 points. The Big Three didn’t have much of Big and combined only 42 units, 29 fewer than the trio Jalen Brunson – RJ Barrett – … Quentin Grimes, who respectively record 22, 27 and 22 pawns. While Atlanta already had 75 potatoes at halftime in Charlotte, the Windy City boys were battling to reach that total…at the end of the 3rd quarter. After that, we won’t lie to each other, New York’s defense might have something to do with it…

A game of convicts, therefore, where no player exceeds the threshold of 35 TTFL points, but whoever signs the validation of the initial position of Quentin Grimes alongside Jalen Brunson. Because it is thanks to his newfound defensive identity that New York has been able to validate its series of six victories, bringing the Knicks into the top 6 of the East. In this period, The New Yorkers allowed only 97 points per game, despite working overtime during the series. Instead, he continues the fall for the Bulls, who see the top 10 gradually move away. And maybe the time has come for Arturas Karnisovas to send his best team of scouts to Levallois, to check if the little boy is there – you know, the one who is 2m24! – it’s so good… Because last night, the highlight of the night for Bulls fans was the return of an old local glory and, that, can’t last.
