Wildcard J.Crawford

The Knicks are in a slump with key offensive players injured. One injured play is Jamal Crawford who can score at will. He can also shoot too often. If he's “hot” then he's going to hurt you and help his team but if his shot is off, he'll continue to shoot and hand away the game.

Which Crawford will show up (if any since he's hurt is big toe) on Saturday?

Crawford said he had been looking forward to playing the Bulls, who traded him to the Knicks in September with Williams for four players. But he said that was only one motivating factor to come back now. The Knicks need him.

Another Knicks player is hurt, PF Mike Sweetney. If both Crawford and Sweetney come back and play effectively, this game could be really tough fro the Bulls.

Mike Sweetney, the reserve forward who has missed the last four games because of a sprained right ankle, also practiced Thursday and pointed to the scrimmage Friday as an important test.

"I want to get back, and I want to play," Sweetney said.
