Open Game Thread #13: Bulls at Golden State Warriors

Blogabull_s_tiny by your friendly BullsBlogger on Comment 551 comments

Chicago @ Golden State


Vinny is starting Rose/Gordon/Hughes/Sefolosha/Gooden.

That's a real live report.

I'm not watching this one live, I'll say that much.

this is why Gooden has to go

As long as he is around our Bimbo Vinnie will use him as a center. This is a game that Noah could have gotten some confidence back, maybe even dominated at least on the Boards.

What the fuck?

That’s the dumbest lineup I’ve ever seen, in 15 years of watching the NBA. And yes, that includes Wednesday’s lineup.

Hughes at Small Forward and Thabo at Power

that definately qualifies as a what the Fuck moment.

Why not start Hunter, and make it a 5-guard lineup?

At least then VDN can make history by becoming the first coach ever to start 5 guards at the same time.

imagine if deng was playing instead of hughes. this could have been the bulls lineup all year if D’Antoni was coach. I think it works partly cause they are playing the warriors but Thabo is probably one of the best rebounders at his position.

by NormVanBeer on Nov 21, 2008 9:56 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

In a half-assed attempt to defend Thabo's defense,

on that last one, while the general basketball rule is that you DON’T let people go baseline, Skiles had us in a bizzarro defensive scheme (that kind of depended on Ben Wallace) that led people to the baseline for a trap behind the basket. Maybe Thabo is reverting to old instincts created by old coaching.

Or maybe he’s just not that good.

I believe he was replying to me.

However, I won’t gloat over Thabo because the little bit of relatively positive play he’s had in this game is not conclusive of anything. I will say, though, that it keeps me encouraged.

by BigBenign on Nov 21, 2008 10:01 PM CST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

yeah, it goes back to the changed shooting form I mentioned earlier

it was screwing him up earlier in the year because he was trying to adjust to the new shot during game time situations, but it looks like he is getting the hang of it. No more line drive jumpers. If he starts hitting threes at a better clip, with his defense and deference to Rose, he’s a good fit with this group.

I don't mind it that much. The talent differentials between each player and his backup

on this team aren’t very great. It seems like Vinny is trying to get an idea for what he has. It also might be to evaluate who plays best together to decide who should stay and who should go. At least, that’s my very optimistic hope.

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.

He has.

It’s like … ‘swoosh, points.’
He’s been driving better all year. If he actually can drive now, he could theoretically be an All-Star.

That's actually not a horrible plan.

If we’re in striking distance in the last six minutes, we’re good. GSW doesn’t have the capacity to lock down on defense in the waning minutes (and we do). That’s what wins at the end. If we’re just saving our focus for then, I’m all for it. We can hang until then.

yes, this is true. I just like to laugh about Ben's shortcomings now

It’s much more fun than getting mad about them like I used to. The guy can play. He has limitations and they are comically consistent. He should not be given the ball in isolations to end quarters. It just shouldn’t happen, but it continues to and he continues to fail at it. So all you can do is laugh.

Small sample size.

Even if the Bulls somehow win this game, VDN's lineups bring back nightmares of

Ihatenobrainb*%L#n.

Larry Hughes will cool off in the 2nd half and our 4 guard lineup will self destruct. Even more frightening is the remote possiblility that Larry will have a statistically good game, and Vinny will decide he should be in the mix with big minutes from here on in.

I don’t need a crystal ball to make the prediction the Bulls will likely fold, at which point Tyrus and Noah will come in with less than 2 minuts left to change the momentum. Thanks Vinney for giving Tyrus 5 minutes and keeping Noah glued to the bench against a team he could probably match up well with.

If you can't answer a man's arguments, all is not lost. You can still call him vile names.
