well

They were going to use the other one and now you done screwed it all up. If the Bulls lose tonight everyone blames you.

yeah, mavs are hot out of the gate

and Noah really needs to finish that. Dirk didn’t even contest.

lol

I’d hate to be sitting behind the mav’s bench. the whole damn team stands up after every shot

didn't rosenbloom or someone

What the fuck

The bulls game may not have been pretty under Skiles but at least they played D.

For a fan, the difference between a team that tries to play D and one that doesn’t is the difference between mere frustration and outright fury.

we have a bunch of losers on our team….except rose

by masputo on Nov 13, 2008 7:56 PM CST reply actions  

i was actually excited for this season...

we need a complete overhaul though….trade everyone and start over with rose as the center piece

it's sad

but that’s not much of an overreaction

gordon threw up 2 horrible layups in a row on the exact same possession without passing

Hi guys

I only started to watch the game now. What did I miss?

Please Pax, don't trade Hughes! Just make sure that he stays injured until... 2010!!!

sorry i just have a natural reflex of disliking Thabo

I do realize his defense has more value than some of Hughes’ chucks.

That didn't happen on the last game

Thabo played great and deserved his minutes

by bull83 on Nov 13, 2008 8:51 PM CST up reply actions  

At least Thabo doesn't hurt the team.

By taking really bad jump shots and getting out of position on the defensive end. Larry Hughes is a far worse option than anyone on the Bulls roster.

Nice by Deng.

Man … I missed most of the first half, but I saw that take, and those BG highlights. Good times. :D

by Prevenge on Nov 13, 2008 8:47 PM CST reply actions  

Love the aggression

from Luol. Great to see the others picking it up with an off night from Rose; I think he (Rose) comes out fired up in the second half.

Would love to see more than four minutes for Noah, however!

it difficult to accept an off night from rose.It has softened my enthusiasm for Ben Gordon’s performance, honestly.

i’m sick of seeing of us playing from behind

Dampier padding his stats again...

9 pts, 9 rebounds, and 3 blocks at the half… This guy lives to play the Bulls.

Don't call me doughboy!

by Khalid El-Amin on Nov 13, 2008 8:51 PM CST reply actions  

It's kind of funny to read these all at once (or first half at once)

It goes from everyone-sucks-(but-Derrick!)-blow-the-team-up to winning at the half – love the overreactions these days.

Noah on the bench to start the second?

Wonder if he’s hurt or punished?

he needs to focus on playing his position and his role on the team better.

playing team D

and moving the ball on offense. VDN has pretty much gone to a 7 man rotation with Thomas and Gooden starting and Noce and Hughes off the bench. Rose playing well in 2nd, Gordon still playing good.

Are a few blowouts away from being completely dismantled, who would the Bulls want from them?

the only way they get back in this game is if we play poor d and/or give up offensive rebounds
