On Friday, November 4th, the New York Knicks will be on the road facing the Chicago Bulls. Here are five players to watch in the game.
Despite some early hype, it has not been a great start to the season for the New York Knicks. In four games, the Knicks are 1-3, with two losses on the road. The defense has been a major issue for them so far this season, as they have allowed every opponent to score more than 100 points this season.
There is a lot of talent on the Knicks that will take time to gel, but the early woes on defense are a bit concerning. While the offense is understandably a work in progress, the defense should be playing much better to start the season.
On Friday, it will be the first time that the Knicks play the new-look Bulls. After an offseason of change, the Bulls have a totally different looking roster. Partially because of the deal with the Knicks, we will see a few players playing their former team.
In addition to emotional returns for some players, the Knicks will see foes like Rajon Rondo and Dwyane Wade for the first time in Bulls uniforms. The Bulls are off to a good start this season, and the Knicks will once again be challenged with a tough game on the road.
