I hate to think this
But eventually Luol’s going to come back, and VDN is going to have to choose between BG and Hughes as the starting 2-guard (unless we permanently go small, which I can’t see).
I think we all know what (awful) decision he’ll be making there. Ugh.

Remember
The game is taking place at elevation. All of the “shifts” should be shorter today, and minutes might just be down across-the-board for the regulars.

Larry Hughes doing the things that he needs to do to be successful
I hate to keep harping on this, but when Larry drives and slashes, he’s pretty good.

and when he shoots 3s after one pass of the ball he hurts the team

yes, that's my point. if he can avoid taking those bad shots that he loves and keep
going to the rim, he’s actually pretty good. Not 13 million dollars good, but pretty good.

I just wish he was doing it on another team.
As a former point guard, you’d think he’d consider passing every now and then.

Rose settled for that jumper and got blocked. Gotta improve that decision making.

Noah and Gray didn't play a single minute last game
And they’re playing large roles tonight. Vinny is lol

Did you guys hear the story on one of the recent Bulls Beats
About how Skiles was like petrified of Ben Wallace? And he was literally afraid to make decisions against or ever call out the Corpse?
I can’t possibly imagine why this would be the case, but I can only imagine that VDN has the same fear of Larry Hughes.
(Pardon to Doug @ Bulls Beat if I misrepresented any of that).

Get Gray out of there
They’re purposely switching to match up against him

Someone needs to remind him that he is...
a product of his PG’s efforts.

I've never gotten that sense
He was a spectacular player at Cincinnati and has been a good player, when healthy, in The League.

and how bad he was when he didn’t have Jason Kidd throwing him lob passes.

Noce seems to have dropped in VDN's rotation.

Yeah ... I actually understood what Skiles was doing most of the time (even if I didn't agree).
VDN’s thought process, on the other hand…
1. Pick names out of a hat
2. ???
3. Profit!

Tyrus making those passes is one of the worst things he does
he has good vision, he saw an open Thabo, but it’s like he has no concept of how to throw a touch pass. He whips one of those passes past a confused teammate about once a game.
by fundamentallysound on Nov 23, 2008 8:38 PM CST 0 recs
OMFG
I’m so tired of Tyrus throwing the ball away. And not getting back on defense. And not playing good man to man defense. And not running the break. And not hitting jump shots. And sucking.
Just had to get that off my chest.

Noce is such a fucking moron
He never ever EVER sets an actual screen, then decides he wants to run into somebody for an obvoius whistle.
Another breakaway. This is f’ing disgusting.

The NBA needs to get rid of free throws
It’s destroying the game and destroying the league. Find a solution so the game can flow and go by quicker.

Get your lazy ass back on defense. Why doesn’t this team no how to get back on defense?

Hey! We're battling back!
DRose is the key to this thing! (Well, him and Gooden not shooting from 20ft out, Hughes not falling in love with his three point shooting, Noah providing good post defense, TT driving and blocking shots, Gordon shooting without not hogging the ball, Noce playing better defense…)

Gooden's jumper is falling. Sigh. He's going to keep shooting from deep.
