Open Game Thread #11 OVERFLOW: Bulls at Los Angeles Lakers
Decent first half, considering how out-gunned the Bulls are in terms of talent. Propers to Stacy King for pointing out how bad Noc was defending Lamar Odom.

Odom just has 8 pts. And he didn’t get all those with Noce guarding him.

Explain to me how it’s possible for somebody to assemble such a bad team? And how you pay Luol Deng 70 million dollars? Paxson really needs to be fired. There has to be somebody more qualified out there, right?

This is really getting ridiculous
The Bulls are 5-5 coming into today, against the 4th toughest schedule in the league (according to Sagarin). We’re 21st in the league in offensive efficiency and 8th in defensive efficiency, again despite a tough schedule.
I get frustrated too, but this is getting ridiculous.

We’d be fine.
I get emotional when the team plays poorly too, but some of the comments here I find to be truly absurd. I don’t mean to be rude and I apologize if it comes off that way, but I do think it’s a little ridiculous.
