Bobby Portis isn’t coming to the United Center on Tuesday night to play bingo.
Far from it.
Since the Bulls traded the forward last February in acquiring Otto Porter Jr., Portis’ agenda has been very simple whenever he faces his former franchise: Make them regret the trade every second he’s on the floor.
In the three games he had against the Bulls last season, he averaged 15 points, nine rebounds and 1.7 blocks. All numbers above his average.
In the one game he’s had against the Bulls this season? Yeah, it came with his new Knicks teammates, but also came special delivery for the entire organization to see, as Portis humiliated the Bulls, scoring a season-high 28 points, as well as grabbing 11 rebounds and shooting 4-for-4 from three-point range.
