    NYK - the most improved team?

    Likely so, but both teams just seem so chaotic. Little flow or cohesion seen by either team. It reminds me of watching a GSW game a few years back when they were good.

    Knicks' interior defense is terrible, and bulls' perimeter defense is not good.

    Anyone think Gallinari could be a white Robert Horry in a few years?

    They mentioned he often disappears during crunch time.

    Well, it even took Horry a few years ( a failed trade) for him to get it together.

    Not even close. Horry was an excellent defender at multiple positions for his entire career. Gallo has a superior offensive game but he can't even guard his own position let alone several.

    Yeah, they said Gallinari can disappear, but he does look like he has the tools to be a very good player in the league.

    That rookie they have Landry Fields, at first glance looks like NY might have gotten a steal in the second round.

    Great lineup of games. Only one stinker and it's the late one.

    It's good for a last 2 minute look...it'll likely be a close shootout.

    That failed trade was in Horry's second year.

    Do you guys think James might feel regret for choosing to play with Bosh but not with Stoudemire in NY?

    If it's close, I'll watch the last quarter.

    I think James regrets choosing to play with Wade over Gallinari.

    I think Bosh was the key for the heat to land James.

    Bulls need a good perimeter defender. TT might try to land Battier next summer.

    I'd take Raymond Felton over Rose for this season.

    Obviously I would pick Rose for the future, but Felton is the better play.

    Especially defensively.

    wow derrick rose is too ill. if there was no lebron james, he could challenge for the best player title in 2 years. too ill.

    you're right. james tried to get bosh to go to cleveland and join him but bosh chose the heat.
