Tonight at 8:00 p.m. ET the Chicago Bulls (15-9) will host the downtrodden New York Knicks (5-22) in the first game of a TNT double-header that can be live streamed free by clicking this link. Knicks fans can listen to the radio broadcast on 98.7 ESPN New York, while Bulls fans may do likewise by turning their dials to ESPN 1000.
As the Knicks prepare to face the Bulls, talk has turned to whether or not Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony regrets spurning Chicago's advances in free agency to remain in blue and orange.
"I will not allow myself to sway toward the 'what if I would have gone to this situation or that situation,'" Anthony said. "This is not the situation that I expected or that we expected, but there's nothing we can do about it as far as what has happened already. We have to focus on tomorrow."
The Knicks haven't picked up the new Triangle offense very quickly, while their defensive woes from a year ago appear to have gotten worse. The tough times might have gotten to him already; his scoring has dropped to 23.7 points, his rebounding is down, and his 3-point percentage has dipped from 40 percent last year to 35 percent now.
Their broken offense is facing a Bulls defense that hasn't been quite as stingy this year as they have in previous seasons, but might be returning All-Star center Joakim Noah to the lineup. Noah has missed Chicago's last four games, but the Bulls managed to scrape out a 3-1 record in his absence. One of those wins was by 18 points, while another opponent was clobbered by 25.
