@Dahl glad you like and as I said before great job on your courts

@Sit well Kanye makes probably the best music of em all (as a producer, he aint the biggest rapper), but if you go for personality he has become lil bit cocky. But I only here the music, coz you cant always agree 100% with any person

Bulls win close game !

New York not able to build a streak, 96-93 loss vs Chicago

ImageImageImage

NEW YORK, January 31th (Ticker)---
The Knicks again didn´t use their chance to win two consecutive games for the first time this season, while the Bulls win their 2nd in a row after a win over Detroit two days ago.

Both teams started with their usual game. The Bulls tried to free up space for their guards, while the Knicks gave the ball to Quentin Richardson, he made the first 6 points.
Kirk Hinrich didn´t have an easy game due the high pressure of Steve Francis.


"I told Steve to defend him (Hinrich) as good as possible, this guy is an awesome shooter and great passer", Larry Brown said.

But the Bulls noticed this and kept giving the ball to their big men, Mike Sweetney and Tyson Chandler. Sweetney had 8 points in the first.
Stephon Marbury controlled the offense of the Knicks better than ever before this season, 5 assists in the first quarter for him.
But the Knicks trailed 28-23.

In the 2nd the Knicks were able to bounce back. After he drove to the basket, Chris Duhon was hit by an elbow, and had to go out with a bleeding nose, which turned out to be broken.

Without Duhon and Hinrich, who rested on the bench, the Bulls weren´t able to run a good offense. Ben Gordon had 7 points, but the Knicks did better.
Stephon Marbury heated up scoring 6 points, Jamaal Crawford and Channing Frye combined for 10 points.
The Knicks led by 1, 44-45.

In the 3rd quarter both teams were on an equal level.
Kirk Hinrich hit his only three pointer, Tyson Chandler played big grabbing 6 of his 13 boards.
Chris Duhon came back with a tapped nose and played a solid game.

"playing with injuries is a thing of the Go-to-Guys, Chris is really better than everybody can imagine, he is so important for us, he is our leader at the moment", Kirk Hinrich claimed later.

The Knicks didn´t defend as well as they did before, and were down by 2, but Stephon Marbury was able to tie the game with an extremely difficult shot with 0.2 seconds left. 68-68.

In the last Ben Gordon showed why he is so important for this team, even as a sixth man.
Gordon hit two three pointer and scored 10 points.
Tyson Chandler played big, he had a big block on Steve Francis, giving the Bulls the big moment.
When Luol Deng hit a three with 3:00 left, the Bulls led by 7.

But the Knicks came back. Stephon Marbury´s three pointer and a great alley-oop by Steve Francis helped the Knicks back into the game.

With 1:00 minute left to go, the Knicks were down by 3.
Tyson Chandler grabbed one of his 5 offensive boards, and slammed it home to give them a 5 point lead.

Quentin Richardson hit his only three, but Luol Deng answered with a 13 footer. Eddy Curry tried to bring the ball forward quickly, but his pass was catched by Chris Duhon, who had 2 thefts.
But the Bulls weren´t able to use their possesion.
0:20 left on the clock, Stephon Marbury made a 18 footer, Knicks down by 2, 95-93.
Jannero Pargo was fouled and hit his first.
But he couldn´t make his second, and New York took a timeout with 1.1 seconds left.
But like in the last game, nobody knew who to give the ball, and Quetin Richardson ended up with it, threw up a prayer but it only hit the rim, Chicago wins it 96-93.

The Player Of The Game was Tyson Chandler, he had 18 points and 13 rebounds as well as two blocks.
Kirk Hinrich had 15 points, Chris Duhon 14 and Ben Gordon 17.

The Knicks high point man was Stephon Marbury with 18 points, he also dished out 11 assists for a double-double.
Quentin Richardson had 17 points, Channing Frye 13 and Eddy Curry and Steve Francis 12 each.

The Knicks had a good team rebounding with 38, but none player in double digits.
The Bulls again shot .400 from beyond the arc and had 6 players in double digits.
Larry Brown was very happy about the ball sharing offense, 27 assists are season high for the Knicks.

The Play Of The Game was a nice around the back pass by Stephon Marbury, he also is the Mr. Buzzerbeater of the game.

The Dunk Of The Night is a sick alley-oop of Steve Francis after the pick-and-roll with David Lee.

Next game will be on February the 6th vs the Magic in New York.
And hey All-Star break is coming ......
:D so I decided to make a big recap of the first half of the season instead of recapping January

The preview looks sweet, very interesting facts, such as season highs, loosing streaks, injury report and etc
You put a lot of effort in this, too bad i'm a bit lazy to preview all these details in my dynasty

I think you should win this game, stop Dwight, he is a beast in the game.

Orlando Magic (9-10) vs New York Knicks (5-8)


February the 6th, from MSG Center, New York

Knicks´ strong teamplay beats Magic !

New York wins last home game before the All-Star-Weekend, 93-101.

ImageImageImage

NEW YORK, February 6th (Ticker)---
The New York Knickerbockers again were able to bounce back after a loss, this time they beat the Orlando Magic, but it didn´t look like it would turn out to be a win.

The Magic started strong, especially their Go-to-Guy, Grant Hill.
Hill exploded on 12 points, some nice drives and his deadly 18 footer.

"It´s really nice to see him back like this, he really played like he did 5-6 years ago, it is so hard to stop him from driving through the lane", his direct opponent on the small forward position, Quentin Richardson, said.

The Knicks best scorer in the first was Steve Francis, he had 6 points.
Stephon Marbury did his best to keep them into the game, he played big passes, 5 assists in the first.
After Francis 2nd foul Jamaal Crawford came into the game and shot 2 16 footer for an only 6-point deficit, 26-20.

The 2nd quarter Quentin Richardson went hot with 9 points, 7 of them in a row. The Magic did a good job on the defense, Darko Milicic had 2 blocks.

But the biggest rejection was posted by Eddy Curry.
Dwight Howard tried to make it happen with authority, but Curry said "No way".

"Yeah, it feels good to block such a dunk, posted by the representativ of a new generation of powerplayers, I´m glad, but it´s more important that we won".

Ex-Knick Trevor Ariza had 6 points, same for starting point guard Jameer Nelson.
At haltime the Knicks were still down by 3, 50-47.

In the third quarter both teams played weak basketball.
Orlando tried to defeat the zone defense of the Knicks with three pointer, but they ended up with 0-6 from three point land.
The Knicks did not share the ball like before and had one turnover after another.
Quentin Richardson tied the game with a three, answered by Grant Hill´s big three point play as he was fouled by Eddy Curry.
Nothing changed, Knicks were still down by three, 71-68.

But in the last quarter the Knicks returned big.
Stephon Marbury showed his clutch ability, hit two big shots over Dwight Howard and Jameer Nelson to give the Knicks the lead.
But Howard hit back with a monster jam past Eddy Curry.

But everybody noticed that the decision of coach Brian Hill to place Tony Battie on the injured list wasn´t a good one.
Howard had to play every minute of the game, seemed to be powerless in the 4th.
With Grant Hill also benched to rest, the Magic couldn´t run a dangerous offense.

Channing Frye and Eddy Curry combined for 12 points to give the Knicks a 3 point lead with 0:30 left.
Jameer Nelson tried to throw a long pass to the resubstituted Grant Hill, but threw it out of bounds.
This mistake gave the Knicks the ball and the win, the following freethrows were hit by Steve Francis and Quentin Richardson, New York wins 93-101.

The Knicks high point man was Steve Francis with 18. Stephon Marbury added 16, Channing Frye and "Q" Richardson 15 each.

For the Magic Grant Hill had game high 26 points, Jameer Nelson added 14.
Dwight Howard had only 11 points but 12 boards.
Keyon Dooling had a decent game from the bench, 10 points for him.

The key for the Knicks was their good rebounding, the outrebounded the Magic 28-41.
Both teams shot horrible from the three point line, the Magic 0-8, the Knicks 1-9.

The Play Of The Game was the big block by Eddy Curry.
The Dunk Of The Night was a Dwight Howard hammer.

The Next game will be on February the 12th vs King James and his Cavaliers. And like Q-Rich seems to say on this pic, damn were just good.
I hope we can start a streak and then go to the All-Star break.
