PrintThere's already 400 comments in the first post, and the site tends to load slowly as the game goes on. So, consider this the 2nd half gamethread where we can all mock Scott Skiles and his band of flunkies.
This needs 35 more words, what a stupid rule. Hey my fantasy team should be awesome this year, are you all excited about that? How about this cold weather, quite frankly it blows certain things.

Since he's at the game probably screaming at the Jumbotron for a free Dunkin Donuts bagel
I’ll say yes.
"I’m gonna rise up, gonna kick a little ass. Gonna kick some ass in the USA. Gonna climb a mountain, gonna sew a flag, gonna fly on an eagle. I’m gonna kick some butt, gonna drive a big truck. I’m gonna rule this world. I’m gonna kick some ass. I’m gonna rise up, gonna kick a little ass. Rock, flag, and eagle!"

We are not guarding well.
At all.
Everything I post is speculation. I have no insider information nor ideas deemed concrete enough by those who are self-elected to regulate post content.
Exactly
I feel like we’ve given back all of the Skiles-fought gains on defense. It’s like we’re some random NBA team that can’t play defense and never knew how.

You think Skiles ever has the urge to yell at his former players about the bad D?
I can just see him wanting to correct some of the missed coverages, then remembering we’re the “bad guys” now.
Man-slave, bring me my PB&J!
Repeating myself
Can we wait for Bogut to beat Gooden once before we automatically double-team and give up open 3s?!

Thabo on Redd = lolz

I hate to say this
But we need some Skiles tough guy talk to get this defense going. They are looking weak.

Rose with 3 steals
With proper defensive coaching (probably not anytime soon) he could become a real asset on the other end of the court.

I'd like to see him play more
but he wasn’t looking so hot. As long as Hinrich is in there and not Thabo I am fine with it. Hinrich is looking ok.

Let him get the minutes, it’s going to take a while for Gordon to get back in his groove.

We do have some sweet balance on offense
4 in double figures, Rose about to hit that mark as well. This is fluid offense you didn’t see in past years unless everything was going perfect.

Got torched on defense.
For whatever reason.
Everything I post is speculation. I have no insider information nor ideas deemed concrete enough by those who are self-elected to regulate post content.
i refuse to believe that
Thabo is a good defender, thabo is a good defender, thabo is a good defender ::weeping:: :)
its a royal ivey situation
the Hawks started Royal Ivey for an entire season. 5 minutes into every game they would than bring in Lue or Claxton who would play the entire game. I like it. Kirk plays better off the bench.
Maybe BG steals that spot from him eventually…
Think about what would happen
if we had played Malik Allen like this.
as bad as the offense looks
we have 82 pts through 3 qtrs
I vote for Thomas to play, play more and play regularly.-Sam Smith
Another Kirk-Rose difference.
On that last play of the quarter, the basket was completely unguarded. Kirk passed out to a jump shooter. Rose would have taken it to the hole, and probably either converted or drawn the foul. I mean, even Kirk had a step, and passed out of a layup opportunity. Rose makes such a difference.
Methinks they won't score 82 through 3 against Boston on Friday night
But the offense looks very encouraging, now’s no time for a letdown, let’s see Rose win his NBA debut!
"I’m gonna rise up, gonna kick a little ass. Gonna kick some ass in the USA. Gonna climb a mountain, gonna sew a flag, gonna fly on an eagle. I’m gonna kick some butt, gonna drive a big truck. I’m gonna rule this world. I’m gonna kick some ass. I’m gonna rise up, gonna kick a little ass. Rock, flag, and eagle!"

So maybe BG's "rust" in the first half was just a small sample size effect?

It starts with the fact that no-one can guard the guy with the ball.
Honestly, VDN needs to run some of those lateral shuffle drills guys do in high school. Nobody except Deng and occasionally Kirk is trying to stay with the ball handler. This causes bad shifts and open guys. We need better pressure on the ball.
It's bad pickup game defense

Actually, agreeance.
The player management has been pretty good. I wish we would have seen more Rose earlier in the 4th, but overall, he did a good job with substitutions.
Can't get lazy yet though
Redd and Jefferson can catch fire real easily.

Stacey just dismissively declared that the Celtics "gon' win that title again."
Way to hold out hope for the home team at the very inception of the season.
Telling his neighbors how good Aaron Gray is
"You ain’t as hot as I is / all of these false prophets is not messiahs /
You don’t know how high the sky is / the square mileage of earth or what pi is." - Nas
At this point, nothing is "realistic"
since we don’t actually know anything about anyone. Pierce could blow out his knee tomorrow. Even now, Stacey is saying “don’t sleep on Philly.” They are just prognosticating. If we’re going to be guessing about who wins the title at this point, I’d love for our home-town announcers to guess on the Bulls. Actually, neither of these guys are including the Bulls in their top 4. Way to pump up the base, guys! I can get my objective opinions elsewhere; I want my Bulls announcers to be homers.
so it's not realistic
to think the defending champs have a shot at the championship?
by NormVanBeer on Oct 28, 2008 10:07 PM CDT up reply actions
I guess I should have said "everything is 'realistic'"
Sure, it’s a pretty safe position to say the Celts will be in the running. But if Bulls announcers are going to engage in pure speculation during a Bulls game, I’d like them to at least include the Bulls, and be positive-minded.
They did avoid the ring-night disaster syndrome
Lebron missed a couple of free throws in the final minute that could have possibly made a difference.

Now's the time I'd like to see Rose assert himself
Get to the line a few times, make the Bucks play some D. The refs are whistle happy today, so use it to our advantage.

Heh.
That’s a pretty awesome statistical anomaly.
Didn't finish identically for raw numbers, because BG added another 3 pointer
but they both went .500 overall and from 3, and .750 from the line.

Kind of funny how we went from the craze of him possibly starting
to a total DNP. And Thabo starting but playing the fewest minutes of anyone.
I agree that Vinny did well with the rotation tonight. I guess it’s just going to take us (and the media) a while to start interpreting Vinny-speak correctly.
Man-slave, bring me my PB&J!
I agree, it is kinda funny.
But VDN absolutely made the right decision, and it paid off, giving us a 17-1 advantage in fast break points. Gray is good for spot minutes when we want to change gears from fast to slow and grinding (or reverse).
Thabo didn’t embarrass VDN for his decisionmaking, because as predicted, he got a couple of quick fouls and had to go to the bench early. If he does that every game, he’ll continue to suck, and it will seem a little pointless to start him. But hey, he’s tall and everything, so maybe he’ll keep getting some minutes.
But did you see Deng become a finisher in the first half? He’s really developing into one, even though two or three of his dunks were waved off because of a whistle before he threw it down.
And finally, Tyrus is showing off that jumper. Like a lot of the great bigs of the past couple of decades, if he can just establish that deadly shot from 10 feet out, this should help free up the low post game that I know he has in him.
Next to these welcome developments the Thabo question is more tolerable.

Yes
He is a “defensive” specialist with some athletic ability, and that’s it. When he produces, then he’ll get more minutes. Kirk and BG are farrrr more deserving of minutes, considering they have proven for years they can produce.

Exactly. Which is why we should throw him in any trade we can.
Before he destroys any trade value he has by displaying his ineptness.
And how nice was it to see Rose and BG close it out?

It’s just nice to see the guys playing well and soundly beating a team they should beat. And after last season’s lousy shooting to start off, it’s nice for everyone to have a good game in the books to work off of, even if it is just one game.

So if we they could
trade Thabo and go with a guard rotation of Rose/Hinrich/Gordon and limit Hughes to garbage time think that would work?
Don't even trade Thabo. Keep him on the bench.
And bring him in if we’re desperate on D, otherwise use him in garbage time with Hughes. I’d much rather get rid of Larry since he’s cancerous to the team.

No chance at J-Rich.
He’s one of Jordan’s guys, he’s playing out his contract. And Joe Johnson is on the brink of a career year; we better be making the offer right now before he’s unavailable.

I believe that Tyrus's made shots
Were 4 jump shots and an alley-oop, and I recall him missing one jumper.
That means he was 0-for-4 on inside non-dunk 2-pointers. We all know that this is a point for development, but it’s something to track and keep an eye on.

I wonder
what kind of drills you do for this kind of thing. I’m thinking some of the “hands” drills they do for NFL wide receivers could help. It’s a coordination thing partly. It’s also partly a mental thing; he’s rushing his release. He freaks out when he gets close to the basket and isn’t dunking.
Any chance we can have a bunch of people submit that question
to David Thorpe in one of his ESPN.com chats?

we used to use
hand held body bags that a coach or other teammates would knock you around with while you try to finish strong at the rim in different scenarios: fast break, cuts in the half-court flow, post ups, etc.
He really needs to work on a little touch baby hook ala Boozer from the rim out to 10ft.

There were a lot of satisfying things about this win, and one of them was
Richard Jefferson going 5 for 17 for 15 points, 4 rebounds. He seemed frustrated all game, which is nice to see.
And of course, Tyrus actually ran the floor. Wonder if Skiles saw that…

Reflection time.
Ben Wallace line:
19 minutes, 2 points (on 1-1), 4 rebounds (all defensive), 1 steal and one turnover.
You might be the worst player in this league.
At least the one who's fallen the farthest
from his prime.
I mean, to Michael Ruffin, a stat line like that is approaching career highlight level.

Dollar per dollar, the worst player in this league. To put it into perspective, he’s making more money than Lebron James this year, and 500,000 less than Pau Gasol. Ben freakin’ Wallace. His agent should be put on trial for grand larceny.
Ouch! More money than Bron... !
