Knicks:

Knicks coach Isiah Thomas didn't publicly unveil the promised lineup changes until he was forced to some 30 minutes before tip-off in Orlando. The moves were a little unexpected. Eddy Curry did not wind up on the bench, as expected. He was joined in the starting lineup by Jamal Crawford, Quentin Richardson, David Lee and Jared Jeffries. The biggest name left behind was Zach Randolph. "We gotta try and do something," he said. "We ain't been winning.

Bulls:

When the season began, many observers were picking the Bulls to win the Eastern Conference and general manager John Paxson never imagined he would make a coaching change. But after a lackluster 9-16 start, punctuated by a pair of dismal blowout losses to Boston and Houston last weekend, Paxson decided the relationship between the players and coach Scott Skiles had been damaged beyond repair.

There should be a betting pool on what the starting lineup will look like.

This is a winnable game.

I had to start this Game Thread off on a Positive.

This should be Isiah Thomas FINAL Game, if Gordon come off the bench again and score above 20 points the Bulls will blowout the Knicks.
Nocioni & Deng LUV to get career highs on the Knicks, they probably will let Tyson & Rookie Noah get in on the action.

BIG-GAME
Giants vs Patriot

10:59 left in the first qtr. and the N.Y. Giants lead the New England Patriots 7-0.

The Bulls are looking like they still have Jordan shooting 52% from the field.

"Fire Isiah" chants start with about a minute left. Even the kiddies are joining in!

[urwhatueati8god]

100-83 Bulls. Eesh. I win the February record by default! Two for two now.

I caught a few minutes, and decided that watching meaningless football games was more productive.
