Preseason Open Game Thread #6: Bulls at Dallas Mavericks

For the first time all preseason, the Bulls should have the full roster available tonight. As was discussed all Tuesday, it'll be interesting to see what VDN does with his starting guards. He can go one way and say since Gordon hasn't played much he isn't ready to start, or just start him to see how he plays with Rose like he's 'tinkered' with other guard combinations.
In their first preseason game against the Mavs, the Bulls looked porous defensively and outside of Rose and Gooden not very good on offense either. Noah should help the former, and Gordon the latter, but the size of the Mavs front line will likely give the Bulls trouble no matter what. What hopefuly won't happen again is another night of the Bulls 2-guards getting beat up by Antoine Wright.

No problem with his free throw shooting!
In a very small sample size, I think he’s over 90% this pre-season. With the frequency with which he gets to the line, that could save his overall offensive efficiency.

DALLAS-Guard Ben Gordon surprisingly is out for tonight’s tipoff against the Mavericks. Gordon participated in the morning shootaround at American Airlines Center. But coach Vinny Del Negro said with back-to-back games that includes a Wednesday game against the Timberwolves in Minnesota, it was his decision to sit Gordon.
“We want to make sure his toe injury is 100 percent,” Del Negro said.
Del Negro is starting Larry Hughes and Kirk Hinrich in the backcourt after Derrick Rose missed Monday’s practice to attend the funeral of his uncle. But Del Negro reiterated not to read anything into his lineups, even though just three preseason games exist.

he was playing decent, tyrus was playing like a wild man and gooden, hinrich and hughes were having a contest to see who sucks hardest. The problem with Lu is he never seems to make the play at the big moment, or make a couple of plays in a row. His shot is off too.
But I’m far more worried about Hinrich at this point than Deng. He will get his 18 and 7 like he always does.

by NormVanBeer on Oct 21, 2008 9:35 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
IIRC
The criticism had more to do with him not finishing as effectively when he goes left rather than right. He’s looked good today, but I’m going to trust Doug on this one until we see more of Rose; Doug presumably watched significantly more than 20 minutes of action in making his scouting assessment.
The other possibility is that Rose addressed this deficiency in the offseason.

Nostalgia
Because this game is crap, I went and checked the box score for that great Bulls / Denver game right after the Wallace trade. Hughes and Gooden didn’t play and the Bulls put up 135 against a terrible defensive team. BG had 37, TT had 18/11/4/2 steals / 3 blocks, etc. I understand having to play Ben Wallace because Pax was the idiot who signed that deal. But once they traded him and got Cleveland’s crap, would it have been that difficult to tell two players in whom you’ve invested nothing that you’re going to play the young kids?
Instead, we were immediately fed the line that Gooden is a starting 4 and that Hughes will get huge minutes. And now we have this debacle. I’m hopeful that I can find footage of the Denver game throughout this season as the Bulls muddle to 28 wins.

yeah i remember
he got the jr smith fire going so good there was (almost) no putting it out. if bg had 37, jr probably had 36.

There were a lot of questions
This offseason whether the 49-win season from 2 seasons ago, or last year’s 33-win season, more appropriately reflected the current state of the team. There should be no question that this is NOT anything resembling a 49-win team.

Rose should never start another game on the bench
if he is there, he starts. end of story. he is so far ahead of every other bulls player its a joke.

I'm going to make a drinking game out of Larry Hughes' airballs.
Will make it much easier to tolerate these games.

Can we pretend that that airball from Nichols
Was really Hughes?

There’s your first chug rule.
An airball by any player resembling Larry Hughes will be attributed to Larry Hughes. Ridiculous shot selection also counts.

what's a good matchup for noah?
too small to guard big centers, too slow to guard quick players like dirk

Tyrus
8 pts, 10 reb, 5 blk in only 23 minutes. Of course he is shooting 2/8

who cares
how he is shooting the good thing is he is doing the things that is expected of him and that is play defense..the offense will soon be more consistent the more playing time he gets

Count his FTs
And his overall offensive efficiency looks better.
