What does Del Negro say to the team at the half?
Um, I totally let you guys down tonight in the first half with my bad coaching. Please play better and give the ball to Rose so he can take over?
Argh – That was ugly.

He was wired on ESPN during TO
he was like:Come on guys!Share the ball!Come on!!!
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.

seriously...i know we're down...but you can't come back playing 1 on 5
Gordon and Rose need to take over, but just don’t go shooting isolated jumpshots

Perhaps...
But, if we had Lamarcus we most certainly would have won a few more games last year, probably made the playoffs, and wouldn’t have been in the lottery to draft Rose… I’d take Rose over Aldridge any day of the week and twice on Sundays.

Great, except Roy was the #1 pick in that draft
and I lobbied hard for him, but nobody ever listens to me.
But we couldn’t take him because our backcourt was so loaded with midgets, Hinrich, Gordon and Duhon.

A repost of a question I asked in the earlier thread
Change one aspect of the Bulls’ organization. New GM, new coach, trade somebody for a specific kind of player — what’s the one step that would do the most to begin to change the Bulls from "borderline playoff team" to "ECF contender"?

I can't quite get a handle on Paxson
I feel like he’s got a solid eye for talent, and he hasn’t made any egregious errors (save the corpse trade)…but the Bulls have notably backslid in his tenure in the last couple of years. He doesn’t seem like a BAD GM to me though.

It has to be Paxson
the inability to pull the trigger on a trade for somebody to be a leader for the team
the signing of ben wallace
the draft picks other than rose
he just hasn’t been very good other than rose

Who would you prefer?
I feel like the Bulls’ biggest problem right now is that they don’t have an identity. They may have tuned Skiles out, but at least you knew that he had put his stamp on the team. What are the Bulls right now? Drive and kick with a whole crop of decent-but-not-All-Star guards (save Rose, who is awesome already) isn’t an identity.

How about Portland's GM
They were the dregs of the NBA 2-3 years ago, the Jail Blazers. Now they as much talent as the Lakers, and may dominate for the next decade.

Why does Rose dribble into a trap every time he brings the ball up?
That’s basic f’ing PG play. You stay away from the sideline. You bring the ball up the middle. You bring the ball up on the side, you get trapped. Simple f’ing basketball. Why does nobody on our team know how to play??

Portland figured us out
Throw everyone at Rose cause no one else can do shit
by Option27 on Nov 19, 2008 11:18 PM CST 0 recs
It's partly Rose's fault, though.
He could avoid a lot of the pressure by staying in the middle of the court. If he draws doubles in the middle, others will be open in position. If he draws traps on the sideline, he has to bail out, and the defense has time to rotate.

Not really
Portland’s defense is just working. Forcing him to go where they want him to go.
Pretty much focusing everyone else out on the Bulls

tyrus and noah
maybe skiles was right all along about tyrus and didnt play him cause he kind of sucks when he gets enough minutes on a consistent basis. Paxson can hide no more…this is all mostly his doing. Actually ultimately i blame Reinsdorf, the greedy owner who wont go into the luxury tax and is over controlling. If it werent for Rose, I might would probably switch most my loyalty to the knicks and start following them.

game recap is scheduled for 12:30
fast forwarded through most of the first half, didn’t watch the second. The Bulls tanked it from the outset tonight by starting two of their worst players (and leaving them there for 7.5 minutes), so why bother ‘analyzing’ beyond that.

I don't even have anything to say anymore.
I can’t even bitch anymore about how bad this game is. Now one thing has been executed propery. We don’t even belong on the court. D Rose needs to be on the bench resting. God forbid he gets injured in the “game”.

Heck
it’s what half of Blazers fans are doing right now. The best part about how well he’s played in his last three or four games is that he’s just scratching the surface of what he could become. Like you guys feel with Rose, I imagine.

definitely
he’s still a little up and down, which isn’t surprising since he’s only 19, but he’s got great instinct and really plays team ball. he’s gonna be a great complementary piece.

I think he will be
He has outstanding instincts for the basketball — his ability to play passing lanes, get his hands on loose rebounds, and bat balls to his teammates is uncanny for a 19-year-old. He’s uberathletic and (mostly) knows his limitations on the offensive end. I’d like to see him shoot fewer threes, but if and when he develops NBA range on his J, he’ll be at the least a rotation player and has the potential to supplant Martell as the long-term starter.
