Open Game Thread #11 OVERFLOW: Bulls at Los Angeles Lakers

Blogabull_s_tiny by your friendly BullsBlogger on Comment 408 comments

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.

Still,

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

i’m not a fan of any player on the entire roster other than Rose. During that 010 year we better surround him with one of the studs(Stoudamire, Wade, Bosh, etc. etc.) and make a couple of good draft picks. This team isn’t going to be relevant for quite a few years.

It’s the Lakers. They’re supposed to beat us. Yeah it’s frustrating, but it’s not terrible.

This is the worst lineup to have ever played NBA basketball ever

I guess Vinny has conceded and is hoping for a win tomorrow night. Hopefully the Blazers/Warriors game goes 3 overtimes.

Evidently none of you were watching the bulls play in 2001

Or do you need to be reminded of the Chandler/Curry years?

correct

none of us watched the bulls in 2001

Gooden knocked down his shots.

4-9 from the field…Noah and Thomas a combined 4-8…so they combined to make more shots on fewer attempts…yeah, nothing.

Gooden played well for like 6 minutes. He was a revolving door on defense and didn’t do anything of merit after the 1st quarter.

by Ozzie Montana on Nov 19, 2008 12:11 AM CST up reply actions   0 recs

He had good looks and they didn't drop

BFD. Our frontcourt was comically absurd with their crap play tonight. Had they played even like average NBA players for the whole game, this would have been a 6-7 point affair.

by Ozzie Montana on Nov 18, 2008 11:49 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Agreed

Probably 3 bad shots by BG, otherwise great looks. Those shots will fall.

He finished the night with 3 blocked shots, 3 assists, 2 steals, 5 rebounds, and 9 points on 3-6 shooting in about 19 minutes. He was +3 for the game.

Deng, Gooden, and Gray all had 3.

With none of the positive contributions.

But yes, he still needs to cut down on TO’s.

However, to say he “sucks so bad” is simply not a true reflection of how he played.
