PrintChicago Bulls at Boston Celtics, Oct 31, 2008 7:00 PM CDT
(Check out my A's to Celticsblog's Qs. Yes there's some Ben Gordon slurping. I'm sorry.)
I will start off, of course, with lineup whining. Same starters as opening night, says Vinny.
Not unexpected, but I really worry about opening tonight's game in a hole. The Celtics are a fantastic defensive team, a unit that will only be augmented by their home court and veteran reps with the refs. Some of those dribble-drives by Tyrus that were blocking calls on Tuesday could be charges tonight, and that changes a lot.
Another advantage for the Celtics D will be their ability to pack it in with the Bulls having no 3-point shooters in the lineup. If things start out poorly it'll be curious to see who Vinny goes with off the bench, and when.
The Bulls best chance tonight is to force turnovers (one of the very few weaknesses of Boston last season) and run run run. If their defense gets set, it's a problem.
Tonight's game is a 7pmCST, on ESPN as well as CSN. But thanks to Tom Dore's ouster, I no longer am forced to watch the national broadcast. Though if it's VanGundy team, I still may.

We'll see tonight
exactly how quick Rose is. Rondo crabwalks faster than Ridnour sprints.
Rondo might be the best defensive PG in the NBA
I’m really excited about the matchup
Agreed
Rondo will be a great test for Rose tonight. Just like KG will be a great test for Tyrus tonight.

Bulls on paper should have no chance
A solid performance would be a good glimpse as to just how much this team has improved from last year.

Here's a question
Why would ANYONE with an option watch the Comcast SportsNet feed of this game rather than the ESPN feed? Can anyone think of a possible scenario where this is reasonable?

Pierce looks a lot quicker
than last year. Nice job of rotating by Gooden.

his passes are on the mark
they’re being dropped. Although the Tyrus one made little sense. He should have just gone up with it and forced Pierce to make a play
Yeah
the ESPN crew nailed it. there is no one in the lineup who can score and get his own shot.

This may not be pretty
Jesus, when they play a team like Boston you can see how far away this team is.
Very passive
they all look spooked.
The poster formerly known as Freethefro.
It appears early
that maybe Noah should have started instead of Tyrus and Gordon instead of Thabo.
and Tyrus misses another close shot

You don’t know how high the sky is / the square mileage of earth or what pi is." - Nas
Garnett is doing a great job of help defense when Rose brings
ball at the top of the key. TT has to do something to creat some drive space.
by RogersPark Kris on Oct 31, 2008 7:22 PM CDT reply actions
There might not be a more fun thing to watch
Than Tyrus allowing a bigger man position in the lane, waiting for them to shoot, and then blocking their shot. Awesome.

VDN's lineups are just baffling
Not that it would make a difference against Boston, but Thabo shouldn’t even be playing.
Thabo needs to go. Send him to some team that thinks they can make something out of him.
Or include him in a package to dump Noce’s contract.

rose is going to have to play 35+ minutes if we want to be competitive
though on the bright side, if vinny doesnt figure out a lineup that works by the end of this game, he never will.
Rose/Gordon needs to happen
that way Ray Allen has to guard one of them
they need to be A LOT crisper with their passes
6 TOs is just awful.

The only way they can compete with Boston
seems to be an offensive lineup. Something like Rose, Gordon, Noc, Deng, Center
Yeah so starting Thabo......
Our defense still sucks, put your best damn scoring lineup out there and get points on the board. This is Boston, not some shitty lottery team. How many fouls did Boston get away with? I counted about 7 fouls the Bulls would have gotten on Tuesday.

playing Boston exasterbates any weakness
but that was rather rough to watch. How long will it take to get ben and derrick on the court at the same time?
Thabo...
I dont even know if thabo could start in a european team
Ben Gordon's first quarter impact plays...
- Beaten by Rondo on a drive
- Missed 3 pointer
- Beaten by Rondon on another drive
- Turnover on a bad pass to a slashing Deng
- Dribbles ball, nearly loses it three times, then throws up air ball
- Loses ball, has it bounce back to him, gets assist on pass to Noce
- Drives lane with time expiring, misses shot, and (of course) falls down.
Now, he may have the best 2nd quarter ever, but that is why the guy is maddening.
LSU 38 OHIO STATE 24 - LSU IS THE NATIONAL CHAMPION AND I AM THE KING OF BOURBON STREET!!
Putting him in when the game is already a semi-blowout is pretty maddening too
Thabo contributed shit as well, I see no reason for anyone to be singled out right now. Get Rose, Gordon, Deng, Noce, and Gooden on the floor and let’s fire away.

Uh, weren't the Bulls down seven when Hinrich/Gordon came in?
That’s hardly a blowout, or anywhere close.
LSU 38 OHIO STATE 24 - LSU IS THE NATIONAL CHAMPION AND I AM THE KING OF BOURBON STREET!!
Look at the way they were playing
The offense was listless, defensively they were erratic and giving up easy buckets in the paint. I’m sorry, but that’s a hole you put yourself in when you don’t put out your best lineup possible. I don’t see the downside to putting BG (or even Kirk to give us an extra ballhandler) at the 2 when Thabo has been decidedly medicore.

Boston is pretty jump shooty themselves
I love how KG is decreed as a post player one day, but next week when he has a bad game he’ll be considered a jump shooter. Other than Pierce or Rondo, they don’t have a post presence, but having a set gameplan and playing their best players at all times tends to work well.

From the first foul when Tyrus got call for cleanly poking the ball away from Garnett, they have been ridiculous.
I rarely complain about officiating, but this fucking egregious.

Deng just passed up one of the easiest shots of the night
To pass to Aaron Gray, to pass to Tyrus with nowhere to go with the ball. But who will get the blame for that play?
"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!"
Holy SHIT ROSE
Asked what kind of player he expects to be in the next five years, he said: "Not a star, but like, a superstar. Something around, like, Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, something like that."
i heard someone say he was shooting as well as Deng this season
i won’t mention names
I did
and don’t mind him shooting jumpers. He’s not playing well today.
What is Deng shooting?
Are you really going to compare Deng's shooting with TT...
Really?

Why single out one game, one 10 shot stretch.
It makes no sense. Tyrus hit 40% of his long 2s last year. It’s not crazy for him to take that shot.
Here's the difference...
When he misses (60% of the time by the way) who is expected to go down there and rebound?
When Deng misses at least TT gets an opportunity at an easy put back or dunk.
Different players have different roles, and TT needs to figure his out.

40% on long twos is actually good you realize???
So now TT is just an offensive rebounder. The one thing he is bad at is in close shots, do you realize that?
You are right...
My mistake. This offensive plan is working brilliantly.
I’m foolish to think that our uber athtletic power forward that jump through the roof should be trying to get offensive rebounds. That’s what we drafted Rose for right?
Carry on.
62 points here we come!

by Khalid El-Amin on Oct 31, 2008 8:27 PM CDT up reply actions
So what should Tyrus do when wide open at 18 ft?
They are taking away the drive. The rest of the team is shooting 20% as well. What do you want to him to do. He’s not good at scoring off the dribble?
If we are going to lose by 40 points anyway...
Then I’d like to see him learn.

ok but what should he do. just pass it to someone else?
go in for the charge? what?
Sure...
Pass it to someone else, let them shoot 20%, or (God forbid) put some motion towards the basket (off the ball) and maybe get some lobs or rebound/dunks… THAT’S WHY WE DRAFTED ROSE! Penetrate, dish, dunk… For clear evidence of this working take a look at how the Hornets do it.

Tyrus needs to be benched for the rest of the game

http://sharapovasthigh.blogspot.com
Nah, that's what Skiles used to do
Keep him in for once, let him figure it out on the floor. He just gets pissed off on the bench.
Skiles wouldve pulled him 4 jumpers ago, if Tyrus hasnt figured out his shot isnt falling tonight
I don’t know what will
And when exactly...
… Does his shot fall?
Oh yeah, at summer camp right?
Don't call me doughboy!
by Khalid El-Amin on Oct 31, 2008 8:07 PM CDT up reply actions
I'm not saying bench him for the game
but something has to be done to stop the bleeding right now. I know he can shoot that shot, but right now it ain’t happening, he needs to abandon it or grab some bench for a little bit.
Yeah because everyone else is looking like Larry Bird out there
Again, why are people singling out 1 player when the whole team is playing like shit? Did Skiles infiltrate all your accounts?

because he's open.
whenever he’s not shooting, the rest of the team is hoisting up horrible contested jumpers.
Yeah...
With no Power Forward (ie: TT) under the rim to get a rebound.

And everybody was saying how he's a team player and had changed.
He shoots the ball anytime he’s close to open. Like the espn guys said, there’s a reason why they’re leaving him open. He has a very low bball IQ.

http://sharapovasthigh.blogspot.com
And you're Marilyn Vos Savant?
If he’s reasonably open, he’ll shoot. That’s pretty standard protocol in the NBA. He’s going to get called for charging or get destroyed at the rim against this defense.

He should go to the basket more
and he has taken a couple bad shots, but I have no problem with him taking 18 footers. He usually hits them, he is having an off night.
18 footers?
Tyrus Thomas?
What channel do you watch him on?

Not like TT...
On a team with a bunch of tiny guards and Deng at SF.
TT should be in the game for easy put backs and dunks. If we wanted a jump shooting PF we would have called Othella Harrington.

He has to be able to affect the game even when his shot isn’t falling. its good that he has confidence, but he NEEDS to pass, dish, something.

I think you all need to stop bitching about Tyrus
Eveyrone else on our team (besides Rose) is playing horrible and shooting the ball like their Helen Keller, but everyone bitches about TT. If you want to win the game, don’t pray that we bench Tyrus. Who do we bring in? Gray? Noah? He’ll get an earful at halftime i’m sure. But he’ll come back in the second half and play a good half.
The announcers are ripping on Tyrus more than we are even.
It’s pretty obvious and it hasn’t changed for 3 years.

Jeez, you’d think we were playing Tyrus over the Mailman or something the way everyone wants him on the bench. What the hell will Gooden or Noce do besides take the same number of bad jumpshots?

At least Gooden will bowl these jerks over once in a while...
TT is like a rag doll against the front line of the Celtics. That’s why he bricks a fade away jumper against big baby after he gets knocked to the floor.

A really awful half-quarter is not the end of the world. He got a little frustrated there, and he needs to learn to handle that better, but it’s not the end of the world. Let’s see if he can bounce back from this.

I hate how Hinrich gets frustrated
and his body language turns all crappy. He shouldn’t be a captain.
Agreed he's a horrible example. His body language was a big reason why the attitude on this team was so crappy. I'd argue it's part of the reason people tonight aren't hustling back tonight. Hinrich's slumped shoulder routine is old.

I will say this,
at the risk of becoming the biggest TT apologist on this site, Tyrus has never been given a long leash. He needs to figure out what a good shot and a bad shot look like, which is difficult to do unless you take a lot of each. I’m glad that VDN is leaving him in, and I hope he gets a nice talking to during halftime, then another 15-20 minutes of pt to learn from.
Asked what kind of player he expects to be in the next five years, he said: "Not a star, but like, a superstar. Something around, like, Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, something like that."
I think after taking like 5 open shoots he will be able to realize that is time to drive or do something else….
You could say that about ALL OF THEM
besides Rose. Look how many shots everyone is missing. They should all be driving in to the basket.
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.
Why does he need to be in the game to learn that?
Everyone else (except maybe Larry Hughes) learns it whenever they play timed games. Or un-timed games. Or watching games from the stands. Or their living rooms. Or in practice. I mean… I think he should be given a long leash, but I don’t see how he’s gonna learn shot selection by being on the court.
He’s just not too good at it.
This year is about DEVELOPMENT
Anybody expecting a victory tonight is out of their mind, first of all…We need to get the ball in Rose’s hands and tell him to go to the hoop, period, that’s it. Let’s see what he can do. Tell him to get us back in the game and he will. Play Rose, BG, Deng, TT and Noah. I know they have Ray Allen and Paul Pierce, but maybe we should come out in a 2-3 zone? I mean it’s worth a shot, we’re getting RAPED in the paint right now.
It's a stretch to say
we CAN’T beat Boston. The Bobcats beat them last year.
Boston is going to go something like 20-3 at worst to start the season
Great teams get out to big leads in their division and conference…we just got unlucky having to play the Celtics in Boston for the second game of the year.
I'm just mad because of...
Awful shot selection from just about everybody, stupid turnovers, getting screwed on the foul calls. I expected to get killed, it’s the way that it’s happening that has me fucking furious.

A number of observations...
(1) Those of you who are already conceding the season need to stop. These are the NBA champions and we are in game two (2) of the Rose era;
(2) Yes, I realize Tyrus has a horrendous shooting percentage, but the vast majority of his shots have been wide open. He has really only taken two bad shots (fade away and a leaner where he was obviously trying to draw a foul). Boston is obviously scheming to allow that shot. If VDN were awake, he would actually take Grey out, move Tyrus/Noah to the five, and play Gooden at the four. Gooden can actually hit that jumper;
(3) Rose needs to improve his pick and roll defense, but I still think he looks awesome. It’s pretty hilarious that Boston is obviously gameplanning to stop him. It’s the second game of the season and opponents have already concluded he is our best player;
(4) The team defense and offensive sets really make me concerned about VDN’s coaching ability. I don’t fret about the players, but I do worry about that. Then again, see point one.
LSU 38 OHIO STATE 24 - LSU IS THE NATIONAL CHAMPION AND I AM THE KING OF BOURBON STREET!!
The big thing Tyrus needs to learn
is that if the jump shot isn’t falling attack the rim. They all need to learn that but Rose it would seem.
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 agree Cran, but honestly I don't think that
TT would get a single call tonight.
Instead of chastising him for hi sbad shooting percentage, everyone would be chastising him for going to the rim recklessly and “being out of control.”
LSU 38 OHIO STATE 24 - LSU IS THE NATIONAL CHAMPION AND I AM THE KING OF BOURBON STREET!!
Tyrus can't put one in the ocean tonight
BUT, as long as the Celts are giving him open shots and he refuses to take it to the hole, where the refs suck, I think he should keep chucking. Eventually he will find his range, or else my heart will be broken.
If you can't answer a man's arguments, all is not lost. You can still call him vile names.
