Chicago Bulls vs. New York Knicks: Game Outlook
For the Bulls, so far, so good
For the Knicks, yikes
Believe it or not, this whole “Three Alphas” things is working for the Bulls through four games. In the early going, the Bulls are not only sharing the basketball at a good clip (26.5 assists per game, 4th in the NBA), they’re making the outside shot.

In four games, the Bulls rank third in 3-point shooting percentage (40.9%), trailing only the San Antonio Spurs and the Minnesota Timberwolves, who are coached by that one guy that used to roam the sidelines in Chicago on a nightly basis.
For the Knicks, their season has gotten off to a shaky start. They’ll enter Friday’s contest at 1-3 on the year, while only scoring 96.8 points per game, which is fourth-worst in the entire NBA.
Not only are the Knicks not scoring the ball, they can’t stop anyone either. The Knicks have given up 110.3 points per game (seventh-worst in the NBA), and opponents are shooting a shade over 46 percent from the field against them (sixth-worst in the NBA).
You know, for a “superteam”, the Knicks don’t look the part in the early going this season with two former Bulls and a human unicorn in Kristaps Porzingis.
