Worldwide fans like me need those ghetto links
Are you serious?
That’s insanely stupid. I thought LP would be for the interest for international people the most.
meh not sure why the last part isn't clickable
so copy paste the link
and the channel will say “not broadcasting” every commercial. don’t freak about that

And when Hughes comes back
VDN will probably start him and be all, “Well, I am going to experiment with the lineup we’ve been running so far this season…” and still keep Hinrich or Gordon on the bench.

Gray againts Howard?
Well done VDN…
Please Pax, don't trade Hughes! Just make sure that he stays injured until... 2010!!!
he did
grab a nice offensive board now though
C'mon guys...
…the point of fouling him is not to hit him, but to make him shoot two free throws for his 2 pts
Oh man, this stream I have is ridiculously crappy

Gray is dominating!
Who’s guarding Lewis?
Magic announcer: “Lewis makes a cut, then another, and it’s like his defender took his eye off of him.”
Thabo looks more confident and aggressive
which is good but it also seems to have him handling the ball more than I’d like. He’s looking better, though.

Yes it is.

Are you kidding me? Why is Rose sitting? WHHHHYY?
Why doesn't TT and Noah EVER play together?
This is bullshit, they’re our best front court players and they are actually in our organizations future. To hell with Gray, he’s absolutely worthless out there. We aren’t going to stop Howard, period, but at least with TT and Noah in we would clean up the glass.
VDN needs to get his head out of his stupid ass and play the right guys.

Rose, 06-07 Hinrich, 06-07 Deng, Thomas, Noah
That should be our line-up unless we get into foul trouble.
But I think i’m just the king of wishful thinking.
bailed out posession by BG
I’m sure JJ Redick is watching thinking he can do that.

That's awesome seeing Rose and Deng on the bench

I’m ready to start www.firevinnydelnegro.com
Yes, but for two reasons
1) Obviously I want Rose on the court, and
2) I have to watch the same jumpshooting team that can’t shoot run around
by messwiththebull on Nov 3, 2008 6:47 PM CST up reply actions
I just want Nocioni to not get beat off the dribble
and to not hack away afterwards. And to maybe rotate when necessary
See how Tyrus just sat there after the screen
He’s got to move to the baseline to get the hell out of the way at least.

I don't mind the jumpshots
but those first two were poor. One was him catching after curling off the ball (that he somehow bounced in), and then the other was with a defender right in front of him. Oh, he made sure to pumpfake first :)

Why the fuck is TT playing so far from the basket?
Please Pax, don't trade Hughes! Just make sure that he stays injured until... 2010!!!
Perhaps
and perhaps I’m overreacting (it is only game 4) but I’m close to mentally considering Tyrus to be a bust.
by messwiththebull on Nov 3, 2008 6:50 PM CST up reply actions
i'm sorry
but nobody is telling Tyrus to shoot every time he gets the ball. They pass to him because they are trapping his man and he just shoots. He can pass the ball too. That is part of the offense
Sure it is.
But if the guy keeps doing it, it’s time the coach tells him not to. And if he’s incapable of learning, and you want to get the most out of your players, you need to put them where they don’t get consistently get the ball 18-ft from the basket.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m putting the blame on Tyrus, too. Just that, if I have a dog that keeps running out into the street, I put him on a leash.
well this is why he never got off the bench for skiles
VDN was hired to play Pax’s guys. That is what he is doing.

It's one thing to play him. It's another thing to teach.
Playing time does not equate to “Do whatever the hell you want”
i'm sorry
i didn’t know you were sitting in the huddle and new exactly what the coaches were saying.
That would be alright if he actually drove to the basket like in the first game.
But he keeps settling for the J.
argh
Hinrich, you’re not the PG when Rose is on the court.

to just tell everyone to get the hell out of his way so he can get us back into this game. And BG needs to take a seat on the bench b/c he looks so bad. What in the hell kind of offense are we running? I think I ran tougher sets than this in middle school.

Hughes doesn't count
We are only stuck with him because of Paxson’s brilliant decision to sign Ben Wallace.

No matter how fast he was charging toward the basket. Ding!

Though Kirk
was leaning a bit, it is easy to call it an offensive foul just by how wild the guy was going to the basket. The exact reason why Gordon and Tyrus sometimes don’t get the call. You have to be controlled when you go in there like that.

Yeah, not a fan of that play
Too many bad memories.

seriously. is that in his contract or what? why not give it to the best player on your team?
Cashing checks and having sex.
Why is BG holding the ball
for the last shot instead of Rose driving and passing to BG? Ridiculous.

Oh hell
Jameer was out there to run out the clock.
Where are the scouts?
In a trust with Vinny Del Negro.
that's what I was thinking too
Nelson’s no better. And Derrick Rose on anybody is an OK matchup.

Nelson
is 2-3 from the field with 1 TO and he’s still a -3.
He cannot guard anyone. ISO him at the top of the circle until the Magic sub.
This game isn’t that difficult.
In a trust with Vinny Del Negro.
Nelson's a turnstile
I have no idea why that was setup. I can only assume they liked some form of matchup.

I hope it wasn't just out of 'respect' to BG

Their backcourt is practically D-League. No reason Rose shouldn't have the rock there.
Run BG off some screens and kick it out if Derrick doesn’t have an opportunity to get to the rack. Is it that difficult to come up with this type of “play”?

i just hope they switch back when it returns
yeah they better

Even with VDN seemingly attempting to throw the game, we're only down 3 at half.
Thanks, Derrick. Now hopefully you play the entire second half.

do you really want Rose
playing the entire second half of the 4th game in the season? Its a long season. When the other guys come in they have to contribute. Rose played all but 5 minutes.
I meant most of it. So we don't get down 17 again and then lose the game

And the 5 minutes he was out we got owned badly

no doubt
not arguing with that. but I mean that is our 16.5 million back up guards. They shouldn’t be useless.
he's young :)
don’t worry, later in the season that’ll mean more minutes for Larry Hughes

get ready for the 4 guard line up
Rose-Gordon-Hughes-Hinrich with Deng at Center. Soon it will be time…
Well, the came back without him
Thabo appears to be on some type of allocated minutes plan.
by messwiththebull on Nov 3, 2008 7:18 PM CST up reply actions
Oh he will be in a minute
subbing for Rose :)
i'm just looking at a nearly perfect lineup there, but why wouldn't you pull deng and let thabo play center? he's long.
Cashing checks and having sex.
True
and he’s not noodle limbed like Luol “Mr. Fantastic” Deng.
by messwiththebull on Nov 3, 2008 7:22 PM CST up reply actions
well despite that odd end-of-quarter posession
the BG-Rose backcourt looked ok.
In fact, the super-small lineup wasn’t that bad, because at least it had good players and not Nocioni (or Chris Duhon)

thats
mostly due to orlando’s atrocious backcourt
Probably why he didn't get a job as a head coach

it was good, but also too small a sample size to draw any conclusions from.
Cashing checks and having sex.
It was bad early
but then we had to stay in the 3guard group because of foul trouble. Noah and Noc have 11 minutes and 6 fouls. Gooden has 2 and was trying to avoid 3.
Were back in the game because Jameer Nelson cannot guard anyone and Gordon made the shots when he had them.
In a trust with Vinny Del Negro.
i really hope we win just to spite the Orlando announcers
i have never disliked Goukas as much as I do right now.
during the Bulls comeback
they went on a 10 minute speech/rant about how bad the bulls were. at everything. and some of their criticisms may be valid, but its not like the Magic were even playing well. It was just really weird. I’ve never heard announcers be that direct and one-sided in their criticism
Yeah. That was just ridiculous.

They need to get to the line more
They’ve been getting there pretty well the last three games; they’ve only had 6 FTA in the first half
But we;re shooting better
We were under .390 in the first three games.
In a trust with Vinny Del Negro.
For the ESPN scoreboard
it shows that Nocioni went 1-3 with 3 fouls in 0 minutes.
I don’t think it’s that much of an error, actually.
since they changed the game and all
Marc Gasol looks nice
Deng
needs to make his pressence known in the second half if we hope to win this game.
0pts.
What to do, with Larry Hughe?
10 TOs, too many. 6 assists, too few. 6 FTA, too few. and the foul situation could get ugly.
Cashing checks and having sex.
maybe we would even be winning
if deng was alive or something
I hope this stream switches back...

Too much of the ball handling is being done by players other than Rose
and I don’t understand why yet.
Not a good result either.
Everything I post is speculation. I have no insider information nor ideas deemed concrete enough by those who are self-elected to regulate post content.
i'm starting to get the feeling that whoever it was that kidnapped Urlacher has gotten his hands on Deng, too.
Cashing checks and having sex.
Big difference
Lacher is playing like he’s still not healthy. Deng should never have been considered anything remotely close to a franchise player in the first place. He’s performing as he is.

Why don't they
keep the lineup in the got us back in the game? I never under stand why they start the 3rd with the people who started the 1st if those are not the guys doing the best in the game. Of course that gets back to my problems with the starting line up in the first place. Blah.

Thabo is tall!!!
When I watch NBA games I often call the fouls before the referees do. Sometimes it’s a gift. Most of the time it's troublesome. - NBA Observer
The problem with this lineup is Deng
Put Gordon in there at the 2. Move Thabo to the 3.
Deng has no idea where he is supposed to go and he’s the best offensive player on the court.
Deng is giving us no threat at all against Lewis and Turkoglu. If Bogans is out there things change.
In a trust with Vinny Del Negro.
Wait, you want Thabo over Deng at the 3?
You’re even outdoing yourself these days
When I watch NBA games I often call the fouls before the referees do. Sometimes it’s a gift. Most of the time it's troublesome. - NBA Observer
I want matchup advantages
Pietrus is not threat to take advantage of Gordon. Orlando will keep running their offense.
I want Deng coming in with the second unit when he can really work when we need it. We need Gordon out there NOW to ATTACK JAMEER.
In a trust with Vinny Del Negro.
What does Gordon doing in have anything to do with Thabo sliding to the 3?
You can’t keep Deng there? What?

Thabo stops Turkoglu
He’s quick enough to stay with him anywhere on the court.

Is it me or does Vinny rarely ever make substitutions during timeouts?

Thabo's defense is really helping us out there!!!!
Nice strategy, Vin!!!!

OK Tyrus...
NEVER HANDLE THE F’N BALL AGAIN! AND THE DEFENSE IS ATROCIOUS.
WHEN ARE THESE GUYS GONNA GET IT THAT ROSE IS THE PG!!!!!!

It's over
I can’t take Tyrus Thomas anymore. He’s stupid. Very stupid. Not just a little stupid, like Drew Gooden stupid, but more like sling-blade stupid. Truly the lowest basketball IQ I’ve ever seen. Now we know why Skiles didn’t play him.
He’s a stone cold, utter moron.
The poster formerly known as Freethefro.
OK
Get Deng out of there. 2nd half rotations against the Magic work this way.
Gooden
Thomas
Thabo
Gordon
Rose
Thabo checks out. Deng checks in. Thomas checks out. Noc chekcs in. Rose checks out. Hinrich checks in. Gooden checks out. Noah checks in.
Gordon must be out there whenever Nelson is on the floor.
In a trust with Vinny Del Negro.
Unfortunately
Gordon in, turnovers happen. Gordon in, horrible decision making and shot selection happens. VDN should have taken a timeout after the Lewis FT miss to stop Gordon from being Gordon.
*sigh*
this is gonna be the trend this year
beat all the bad teams (sadly, some of those games will be close)
lose to all the good teams
get embarrassed by the really good teams
Remind me ..
1) why are we happy that Deng was the team’s first priority, signing for 72 million during the summer?
2) Does it seems as if Tyrus thinks in slow motion on the court?
Are there any two starting forwards
who are playing worse than Deng and Thomas right now.
