Preseason Open Game Thread #3: Bulls vs Minnesota Timberwolves
Tough to keep up with all the injuries (those real and those deemed fake by tough dudes), but from what I can gather: Gordon and Ruffin are out. Gooden's back in the lineup, and Noah's back and wearing goggles.
I'm going to be attending the game tonight (7:30, CSN), so that'll be...something.

Heh
How on Earth is a death in Rose’s family an attempt by the coaching staff to placate Hughes?
Do you suppose VDN sent one of his assistants to kill one of Rose’s family just to shut Hughes up?
That seems a bit extreme, but if he did, I bet he sent Del Harris.

why do coaches play Larry Hughes? Is it the money, or is it that he can occasionally create off the dribble, his size, what?

Kirk is better off the dribble than Hughes
Kirk just has almost no finishing ability and his smaller size and lower elevation leads to more blocks. Ergo, he doesn’t go to it as often as he should.
Tell me you saw his crossover penetration where he did a finger roll airball. That’s Kirk defined right there.

Drew Gooden's pretty much the only thing I like about this game so far.
Larry Hughes’ 3 on 1 attempt to be Chris Paul was pathetic. Tyrus Thomas is still out of control and tries to do his Nene Hilario “I can be a PG too” crap by dribbling the ball up the floor full speed instead of giving it up to a guard. Nocioni is throwing up contested shots. The offense looks out of sync with Rose in(which is understandable at this early stage). Confusion on screens left and right, and moving screens on offense. Aaron Gray looks AWFUL out there. I could go on and on. Dumb fouls, particularly from Hinrich on the hand check with 10 seconds left. The first quarter was fun at least!

in all fairness...
Tyrus must be frustrated when he’s in a position to receive a lob and instead the passer (Gooden, then Hughes) turns the ball over. Tyrus’s teammates have to figure out a way to capitalize on his athleticism.
It takes a village to raise Tyrus Thomas.

Which is why
he should stop being afraid of taking it in all the way. A lot of criticism is of his lack of finishing or even trying to. He needs to do more of this.

It is something he needs to add to his game. It isn’t being selfish. Hughes is an illustration of selfishness. His last jump shot was idiotic.

I know why he missed practice.
I don’t agree with the Bulls benching because of that. The reason he missed wasn’t because he was injured. He didn’t do anything bad. He missed for a very legit and unavoidable reason. Why use the same rules as they have for the above to apply to his situation? The other players need to get used to playing with him on the floor, not someone like Hughes. Getting used to playing with Hughes is a waste of time.

I would do it because
at this point (a) Larry Hughes still views himself as a player whereas Wallace is content to ride the pine into retirement (b) Hughes is bad at a position where we are stacked, whereas Wallace is bad at a position where we’re thin.
Wallace can’t cause mutinies anymore; and the only reason he could in the first place was because he stepped into a sitution where the players were sick of their coach. Nobody’s sick of VDN – yet.

this is exactly
what should be tried in the preseason. it doesn’t matter, so players should be testing the limits of their games (hence why i want to see as many stupid lob situations involving tyrus as possible). if deng could get in 5 3s a game, i would be extremely happy, just so the team would have an idea of his 3 pt performance under (a semblance of) pressure.
