LET’S GO!

to go with a new lineup to start the 2nd half.

irritated at the play of his team.

It’s almost as if he is befuddled by the organized incompetence.

This game was a predicable loss, though. Write it off.

I think we’ll win tomorrow night.

If rose takes control now we might see another 30pt performance?

really?

and jacks ANOTHER long 2. WTFFFFFF

Trying to get the team fired up? Vinny should be doing that…

thank you.

for that board!

first chase utley, now this

He is cursing out the ref

trying out for the globetrotters

Needs to seat for like 5 min to calm down

they saw the bad start so now everyone is trying to win the game by themselves.

That’s a guy who doesn’t want to be out there. 2nd game of the season and he’s already quit.

He got fouled. otherwise…he woulda missed.

and…how did it go in??

Tyrus, Rose, Gordon, Noah showing life tonight, even if everything isn’t going in.

who said kirk stopped caring?? taking a charge on GARNETT??

Tyrus almost in double digits!

c’mon Joakim

another shitty night for Beasley. So at least we got that completely, amazingly right.

And then just play…we can’t play any worse than this, not by a longshot. The good news is that this is the best team in the league and we’re still in the game. I’m sure the Celts starters will be sitting for the first few minutes of the 4th—-if so, let’s get a run. We just need ONE RUN. Just a little 8-0 run or something and we’re in a good spot. It’s the NBA, everybody makes a run

Who cares if he fouls out

This is how you kill your own momentum.

they are great at sliding in after the pass or shot has already been made. That really shouldn’t be a foul but the refs call it like that all the time.

VDN is waiting for the bulls to make a run and get it down to 10 and then put Rose in but yeah nt going to happen

Noah
Thomas
Deng
Gordon
Rose

We need Noah’s toughness and Goron’s shooting to start the game. Matt’s worst fears were realized, this game was over in the first 6 to 8 minutes.

71 shots, 7 assists. Rose with 0

is there is a game tomorrow. I’m going to get drunk. yipee!

where so few 3 pointers were made from both sides. And as I type this, there’s two more.

but I love Thabo

 What does he do exactly, anyway?

he was the only guy in there fighting. Gooden quit, and he quit early. I want nothing to do with him.

Luol: he wanted nothing to do with this game.

Rose played with heart. There were a lot of calls he didn’t get that he should’ve gotten. But that’s the best on ball defender he’s going to face, and the biggest interior. 28 minutes isn’t enough.

I’m glad we’ve got Memphis at home tommorrow. Big chance to bounce back. Now we see if VDN’s got anything in him as a coach.

I’m not hopeful.

The Bulls are a badly constructed team, obviously from what have been said since last year and during the preseason. However, the Celtics game shows how bad this team is assembled. The Bulls key assets aren’t good enough to make a lost respectable. Nevertheless, what is so pathetic about this club is that they can’t even make up ground against good teams 2 units.

Paxson draft picks over the years seemed to be grade ‘A’ selections, but after terrible trades that resulted to failures to balance out this team. Paxson job should be in jeopardy this year, if the Bulls post another losing season. Gordon, Hinrich, or Thabo can beat 2nd and 3rd rate players like Rondo, Allen, or House. What role does Joke’hem Noah play on the Bulls? What improvement has he made since last year? Tyrus Thomas should come off the bench until he can show consistency with minutes earned. Thomas and Noah was Paxson worst draft choice, because they were drafted because of speculated potential and not for what they could do for a team – now- that was once on the edge of turning the corner to respectability. Paxson should have kept LaMarcus Aldridge. Deng, I like his humanitarian efforts, but unless he starts showing why he deserves his contract, Paxson signing him to almost $70 million will be as boneheaded as signing Wallace. Deng is too slow to cut to the bucket or breakdown his guy off the dribble. He was more effective at cutting in Skies offense. If his shot isn’t falling, he’s another reserve player. I thought Deng had developed some post moves? Gooden? He is a 3rd rated power forward that should be trade bait.

The Bulls core unit over the previous year, not anymore, does not play like player in the 4th and 5th season. The problem is not that this squad needs super star player. It is the fact these pieces never meshed. They’re all are one-dimensional jump shooters with no other skill to use, when their shot is not falling. Rose is a talent that can lead this team, but has no help. Paxson needs to blow up this team now or face due consequence. I had the confidence that Paxson contained the basketball acumen to make the necessary trade to help this team. But it might be better to fire him now and bring in a more competent GM.

You can’t tell who stays and who needs to go after this game?

Ben was looking for his own stat. Deng didn’t care. Hinrich look disinterested and jealous at Rose.

These guys, from last year’s games, I could tell that they no longer have the fire, the intangibles they had years ago but everything was working for them. The minute REAL pressure sets in, then they’re toast and done.

It’s exactly how we lost to Washington in the playoffs, how we lost to Miami (could have taken them to game 7), it’s just beyond frustrating.

Now a superstar-caliber player comes in, and it seems like that they can’t get used to it. How many more chances do they need?

There is a huge, distinct difference between Rose, Thomas, Nocioni, Noah….and those guys. Those other guys simply don’t care.

Rose does care.

WHy the ball isn’t in his hands 90% of the time is BEYOND ME.

Why Rose doesn’t look for his shot until the team is down by 15 is BEYOND ME.

Vinny may have something to do with that. I say forget about team basketball right now, you wanna be competitive. Rose needs to score, period. And he needs to score A LOT.

…but D-Rose only had 1 assist? One assist? From your starting point guard? Yeesh.

Obviously Rose can get to the rim anytime that he wants to and finish most of the time with either hand.

Noah is the only guy who brings any energy to the game. When he is in the game every rebound is in play, when he is out we lose the rebounding battle against anybody. Noah should play 48 minutes every night, and Gooden should never play a single minute at center. O.K. Noah isn’t Wilt Chamberlain, who actually averaged slightly over 48 minutes per game for an entire season. But, at least he cares and tries, when he is in the game he creates havoc, gets his hand on nearly every ball coming off the rim at either end, if his teamates hustled as much as he did instead of letting him play 1 on 3 or 4 we would come up with many of the balls that he keeps in play that he can’t coral by himself.

Don’t know why VDN apparently is not a fan, maybe Noah said something about his mother.

Did anyone notice if Deng played tonight. I couldn’t tell who that guy was trying to guard Peirce, he was buried in Perices dust all night. It’s not all bad Deng will only be making over$14 million in 2012, what a deal. He might actually be as useless on defense as Gordon.

As I posted from the instant that we won the lottery, we should have traded Deng and anyone and everything else(Hinrich, Gooden, Gordon, Nocioni) to Miami for the second pick and taken Beasely after we took Rose. Especially since Beasely is looking like a 3 and not the low post threat that most mistakenly thought that he was. I think that before the draft Miami would have made a Deng based trade, of course according to Paxson Deng as a future HOFamer is untouchable.

It is already obvious that this season will be about watching to see Rose and for me Noah(he is just my kind of player), while I still pray that Thomas might get his head out of his ass and become a player. I can’t wait for the rest of the overpaid garbage to get traded. However, if this keeps up these guys won’t be any more tradable than Hughes is.

As they say,it’s only one game, and it was against the world champs, but this looks like a repeat of last season, and VDN looks as useless as BoneHead Boylan.

That Tyrus’ shot was gonna start falling?
Man, with the shot selection, inability to finish,
and questionable shots, he should have not played
so many minutes.

I ain’t giving up on TT, on the contrary, but, a coach has to
realize when a guy is hot, not hot, should play more less, on
a given night. TT will bounce back, but it clearly wasn’t his night.

Coaching staff more guilty than Thomas.
He tried. They did nothing to adjust to the situation
developing, just watched it implode.

Sadly, as crap as they were playing, it was still close at halftime,
at least not a blow-out and within reach. No adjustments, really, so
it did turn ugly.

Keep D-Rose. To the rest of the team, "Don’t buy houses in Chicago!
