Game thread: New York Knicks vs Chicago Bulls 7:00 10/28/2019 [Game #4]

Under a minute .. Portis for another 3-ball on his former team giving the Knicks a 103 -98 lead !!!!!

Great play from Portis sticking it to his own team and thank goodness for RJook!

RJ sinks 3/4 FTs down stretch (and got rebound-putback in the lone miss).

15-0 run!

1-3 and we on pace to win 20!!!

I can hear them on the broadcast!!! Game time Knicks win!!!

19-15-5 for RJ.

Frank ugly on offense but still was impacting game some with defense down the stretch. Better to contribute on one end as opposed to being a complete zero.

Still, we need a PG folks.

Frank didn't let Zach still this WIN !!!

Knicks WIN 105 - 98

Game Ball Goes to Mr. Bobby Portis !!!

The boys played good defense down the stretch forcing the Bulls to take some tough shots. Portis had one of those I'll make my old team regret they traded me games, Bulls aren't what I thought they were in the pre-season. Knicks to a man looked relieved to get that first W.

An Exciting Knick WIN 105 - 98 !!!
Frank locking down whole possessions, RJ dominating, Knox playing spirited D and taking it to the hoop, and Bobby Portis WOW-WOW !!!
I haven't been a Portis fan .. but I tip my hat to him tonight!!!
Coming back from 18 down and 10 in the fourth is so sweet. I don't know how many games we will have a Knicks win ending .. have to savior the moment.

Wsup Tiger .... No Frank - no win LOL

Had to catch up on DVR, just finished watching now.

The cynic in me wants to say ?can?t lose them all?.

The optimist in me is blown away by RJ, Portis, and Randle all putting up double doubles with RJ and Randle combining for 10 assists.

Here?s the thing though. We?ve had guys come off the bench and have big nights before. Trier did it like 2 games ago before going back on a milk carton. Can Portis come out and be a big contributor on a regular basis?

Michell takes to twitter to defend DSJ, says NyK fans tripping.... its only 3 games.

I don?t know if Randle and Portis and Morris are long term, 4-6 year NYK players.... but for this team, right now, those 3 and Taj are perfect guys to show RJ and Mitch what we want them to be....

Say we get AD and draft a stud.... those guys are fun role players for a winning team. We shall see. They need to continue growing their all around game too.

But, for now, at least we fielding an NBA roster.

This season is all about laying a foundation. Maybe lottery balls reward us this time!

Greg Anthony Jr?

The kid scored ZERO points. He had more TO's than dimes and no steals or blocks. No Frank No win I hardly think so, still think he's a borderline bust.

Portis made a 3 to give us lead finally late in 4th... and acted more shocked than anybody else it went in.

But he did shoot 39% last season. I don?t expect this most nights, but I was hoping he?d knock down a few trifectas.

Portis looks crazy. His eyes and face crack me up. He just looks like a dude you don?t say the wrong thing too.

I know people are excited about what Ntilikina does on defense and he had that one nice assist to Randle, but I?m at the point where I see Ntilikina and DSJ bricking open 3 pointers in my sleep.

Fizdale is a clown. If this is where his priorities lie, how come he has basically spent the last year not playing Ntilikina?

The Knicks won tonight having Frank in the rotation!
When a coach has 3 scorers in his rotation .. a player having Frank skills/talent are very valuable.
Rondo prove that having the Boston Big-3
The reason why in 2014 offseason, the best FA the Knicks needed to sign for Melo's Iso-offense were FA PG-Shaun Livingston.

He'll play him as the 1st PG off the bench or maybe even start him after today. I'm still not a fan of Nits but let's see if we can win some games with him getting consistent minutes.

Wsup htr10 .... Since Fizdale been the Knicks head-coach .. every game I watched .. I sit wondering if the Knick players go to practice?
There's no-system nor any chemistry in the Knicks performance.
Tonight, I'm sure you notice, every lineup Frank were in his teammates on the offensive-end act like it was their first time having Frank run the offense.
