Open Game Thread #13: Bulls at Golden State Warriors
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.
Why resort to name calling?

Plenty of venting
goin on in the game preview. it’s all been said.
Asked what kind of player he expects to be in the next five years, he said: "Not a star, but like, a superstar. Something around, like, Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, something like that."

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.

That’s why his three % is so bad, he’s added more arc to it. Maybe it’s getting more used to it now. :D
That’d be pretty sweet.

He is playing in the frontcourt tonight
I have been saying since last season that he might be more effective in the frontcourt, he is not quite athletic enough to keep up with the 2 guards.

This is more painful because a victory might be in the balance.

IMagine
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.

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.
