Open Game Thread #4: Bulls at Cleveland Cavaliers - OVERFLOW

For better or worse, Gordon is apparently going to shoot

every time he gets the ball.

Sometimes, good, Sometimes, no.

The play with 10.34 remaining in the fourth quarter is emblematic of why he is simply unwatchable and can never be a starter, or for that matter even a contributer on a championship caliber team. You may recall that he stormed into the lane on a drive like a Bull in a china shop and splattered himself on the floor like a sack of bricks dropped from the roof of a three story building lost the ball of his knee, forehead and any other body part not associated with actual ball handling. Naturally no foul was called and Gordon dragged himself to his feet like Jim Brown after a game in which he rushed for 300 yards. Then he threw his hands up in the air with that braindead look on his face that he always gets after one of his patented drives which always end with him sprawled on the floor while the other team races down the floor for an easy transition basket. The fact that this is a normal play for Gordon should leave no room for debate with anyone with even a middling basketball I.Q.

Yea, he make a couple of ridiculous shots tonight, but they were still ridiculous. Even if he was the second coming of Michael Jordan & Wilt Chamberlain combined on offense it wouldn’t make up for his absolute lack of any other discernable basketball skills, zero, zip, nada. Couple that with his complete lack of any internal organs necessary for successfull human activity (i.e. a heart or a brain for starters) and you have the most uselessly one dimesional player in the history of a league full of useless one dimensional humans.

wow, our defense is absolutely abysmal. this cavs team's offense is NOT that good.

we're terrible on defense

not just bad.

LeBron was only averaging 22 ppg coming into this game.

The BUlls will cure that.

Uh, they do have LeBron though

by Illini15 on Nov 5, 2008 9:01 PM CST up 0 recs

doesn't matter this is a bad offensive team. LeBron can't do it all, he can be contained. This is a very bad bulls defense.

by fundamentallysound on Nov 5, 2008 9:04 PM CST up 0 recs

LeBron can be contained?

I thought we went over this last year… Nobody can contain LeBron… Except LeBron.

3 guard lineup, KD has been proven prophetic.

Vinny thinks this lineup works now. UGH.

by fundamentallysound on Nov 5, 2008 9:03 PM CST 0 recs

It must be by design that Gordon is running the offense.

He just did it coming out of a break.

A dubious design, but a design.

and there's the reason it doesn't work right there. no rebounding.

by fundamentallysound on Nov 5, 2008 9:03 PM CST 0 recs

Can we please not

cut to Lebron eating his fingers on the bench? Crotch adjusting and now that? The camera guy sucks. He must be playing for his contract or something.

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.

Please Pax, don't trade Hughes! Just make sure that he stays injured until... 2010!!!

Ty Thomas

Why isn’t he playing a lot? I need to know if he’s being dropped from my fantasy team tonight.

Where will you be when the Sixers hoist the Larry O'Brien trophy? Hopefully Liberty Ballers.

by jsams on Nov 5, 2008 9:04 PM CST 0 recs

If it's a 10-team league with normal depth:

drop him. Pick up Jason Thompson or Jason Maxiell. If it’s a keeper league, keep him for a while more. If it’s a deeper league, hang on to him. He’ll be inconsistent, but he’ll give you stats you can’t get anywhere else for the same price.

by arjoseph on Nov 5, 2008 9:07 PM CST up 0 recs

And if it's a Blog-a-Bulls league...

You should be able to trade him for anyone else’s best player.

Don't call me doughboy!

Thanks guys.

Why just the 1 best player

Trade Tyrus to the Heat for Wade and Marion….the Heat are worse off than us anyway, they can see Tyrus improve, and meanwhile won’t lose Marion for nothing. As a sweetener for the Heat, we can give them Hughes and Thabo….there you go :)

BG- I SMELL PORK

and it looks like BALL HOG

B.J. for three.... KABOOM!

LMAO. The archetypal BG turnover!

Ben Gordon drives the lane, falls down, and loses the possession... some things never change

by fundamentallysound on Nov 5, 2008 9:06 PM CST 0 recs

Gordon tripped on his own feet while slashing

That must be a one-time thing for him

by NittanyCub on Nov 5, 2008 9:06 PM CST 0 recs

Why the hell is Gordon play the point

by RogersPark Kris on Nov 5, 2008 9:06 PM CST 0 recs

WHY THE FUCK IS BEN PLAYING THE POINT?!!!!!!!!!!!

by Juiceboxjerry on Nov 5, 2008 9:07 PM CST 0 recs

I think Ben decided on that one

by Evil Pax on Nov 5, 2008 9:07 PM CST up 0 recs

why is ben handling the ball like a PG? I'm really concerned about Vinny as HC if this is his doing, which it appears to be.

by fundamentallysound on Nov 5, 2008 9:07 PM CST 0 recs

That was like the Socratic Form, the ideal, of all BG turnovers.

Hey Noah

How does that shoe taste?

by Protocol on Nov 5, 2008 9:07 PM CST 0 recs

again the midget lineup... Rose got to the rim, but we had all guys on the perimeter and no one to follow the miss.

by fundamentallysound on Nov 5, 2008 9:08 PM CST 0 recs

Gotta love this pace.

And gotta love Deng coming back in with this pace.

by silentpete on Nov 5, 2008 9:10 PM CST 0 recs

it's the least he can do

since coaching isn’t really his thing

by gobulls1124 on Nov 5, 2008 9:10 PM CST up 0 recs

Rose needs to finish those buckets in transition

when he blows by everyone.

Take Kirk out

He makes shit every time he touches the ball

Please Pax, don't trade Hughes! Just make sure that he stays injured until... 2010!!!

What a nightmare

by Juiceboxjerry on Nov 5, 2008 9:10 PM CST 0 recs

VDN is killing us with this line-up

and he needs to put the ball in Rose’s hands.

Hinrich just did his best Larry Hughes impression.

He just dribbled casually up the court, sauntered to the elbow, and threw up a jumper with 20 seconds left on the shot clock.

by 1958ChiTown on Nov 5, 2008 9:11 PM CST 0 recs

2nd time he's done that this game

by Jaina on Nov 5, 2008 9:12 PM CST up 0 recs

I was thinking to keep Hinrich

before season,to back up rookie.
But Rose doesn’t need time to adjust for NBA.
We gotta get rid of Kirk.And try to get decent center.
What about that Brad Miller talks?

by Azabullsfan on Nov 5, 2008 9:12 PM CST 0 recs

Why do folks

Want modern Brad Miller…..he slipped big time, had an OK year, and OK year folks last year at what 33??? Let him stay in Sacramento, he’s not the former Bull Brad Miller these days (or even better the 2000 King)….he’s old and has had some drug issues.

We should avoid that, he won’t make us any better.

by majoyenrac on Nov 5, 2008 10:38 PM CST up 0 recs

we need more of VDN wired

to see what the hell he is telling these guys

B.J. for three.... KABOOM!

What Would Skiles Do?

by Protocol on Nov 5, 2008 9:16 PM CST up 0 recs

I'd typically be against this, but

Why don’t they let Kirk handle the point, pitch it to Rose to create as a two-guard, and allow him to either drive or hit the open cutter (if said cutters even exist)?
