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.

Plus Deng was invisible again tonight

Maybe 2 aggressive plays the whole game. If he’s not playing well this team isn’t going anywhere against the deepest team in the league.

Tyrus is Mad.

General manager needs the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow,next week, next month, and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn't happen.

Everyone has off nights. If this is as low as BG will get, we should have him on that contract we said he couldn’t sign already.

I really do worry about his endurance and health.

He is absorbing too many minutes. He is going to be drained or injured come February..

Noah is a lazy piece of shit

What the hell did he do this summer? Well, never mind, I know what he did, and it didn’t involve basketball. I can forgive Tyrus’s occasional stupidity, but it’s a lot harder to forgive laziness.

Gray played marginally better.

I don't think anyone expected the Bulls to win this one. Woulda been nice but...

we need to do something about our front-court though. I mean the Lakers size is incredible and they exploited the smaller defenders. Small ball in the fc is dead.

Rose is averaging around 40 MPG

I swear to Christ, they better give him less playing time. The guy is gonna burn out at the 45th game.

Just to refute the idiotic Tyrus comment posted above.

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.

Trade Deng for a big man

And do it soon, because he’s killing his trade value. He doesn’t seem to mesh well with Rose at all.
