I don't really want to talk about what happened last night. The Bulls sagged on defens and conceded the 3, and the Knicks were happy to go along with the plan. They shot a franchise record 3 point attempts, and missed a lot. The team attempted more 3's than 2's. I'm flabbergasted.
For the first time in his career Danilo had a very bad game. He was lazily chucking threes for the first three quarters before he turned it on in the 4th. He did end up with 18 points on 17 shots, but was a team worst -22. I was not happy last night. Is he hurt? Is he just sore and tired from what is essentially his rookie season? I hope this was just a fluke bad game but the rooster did not have any pep in his step.
The whole team lacked pep, and maybe it is because only 6 guys played major minutes. Maybe Coach D'Antoni should look at the way Taj gibson and the rest of the Bulls reserves outplayed the Knicks regulars. Is it time to expand the rotation and give Toney Douglas and Jordan Hill some more playing time? Judging by how fatigued the guys looked last night, I think the gameplan might need a little tweaking.
Tonight the Blake Griffinless Clippers come to town for Friday Night Knicks, and as always, let's hope for a big win to get the Knickerbockers back on track. That would be a huge help in forgetting the travesty we watched last night.
