darn you Matt!!
I worked for 10 minutes trying to reach the 75 word minimum creating the overflow thread!! ;-)
Why NBA is running the same "happens"theme for second year.
It’s painfull to watch and especially listen.
Are they out of ideas?
Time to take out Gray
Please Pax, don't trade Hughes! Just make sure that he stays injured until... 2010!!!
I thought no headbands was the law.
Must be the old testament or something.

didn’t like Gordon dribbliing there. damn him drawing that foul acting like allen iverson
And you will always be here
to tell us when Gordon screws up. I think the job is tenured.

I'm just pointing out that to you, Nocioni is okay trying to do things he can't do...
…but Gordon isn’t.
I’d rather no one try to do more than they can, no matter the yell-factor.
Nocioni was like 3 feet away on that drive
Noc does a lot of dumb plays, but that wasn’t a bad decision

I know. It was a bad example for me.
If they all make dumb plays, why point out Gordon’s and no one else’s? Sounds…. weird.
Four Bulls in double digits already
Rose, BG, Tyrus and Gooden
Please Pax, don't trade Hughes! Just make sure that he stays injured until... 2010!!!
They'd be a good matchup
for the Chicag Bulls

Matt's right
Red used the trusty “bench scoring” stats in his analysis.
In a trust with Vinny Del Negro.

Nice curl Deng.
Deng is in the offense again. Hopefully this is what it will look like from this point on.
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 haven't liked him since college
I think all he brings is tip ins and energy, if he bulks up maybe I’ll change my opinion. On the other hand Gray isn’t a better option so whatever. Plus he’s just so damn ugly :p.
But he's just like the best tipper-in in all of basketball.
and his energy, unlike, say, Nocioni’s, leads to a lot of opportunities for his teammates. he doesn’t demand the ball, and on any balanced team, you typically need one of those.
He's an amazing tipper-in
I just can’t stand him. Plus I don’t like hearing during last year and a little this year that he’s a little to lax, not taking things seriously. True we had problems last year, BIG problems, but that whole incident with his suspension and the team voting an extra day of suspension is troubling. Not saying it was right for the team to vote for another day, and who knows the exact details surrounding his suspension, to me, it just doesn’t show well on his character.
And let's look at who called the team meeting there...
case closed.
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.
We don't know how things were day to day back then
Maybe there was more to the suspension, maybe he needed the extra day to drive home a lesson for whatever. I’m not going to argue if it was right or wrong to do it because there’s no way for us to know, but at least be open to the idea that maybe it was warranted.
Nope.
Judging by the character of Wallace, the man in charge, I don’t think so. Have you heard the news coming in about what was going on back then? Its been all over the podcasting world at least. Wallace was a bigger bum than we could have guessed. Any “taking charge” in the locker room he did was a joke after hearing what he was doing behind the scenes. The coaches had their backs against the wall with Wallace.
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.
Yea I heard about Wallace and
my bad, I thought it was griff who asked for it, but from what I read “a group of veterans approached the coaching staff” so whomever that means. I thought it was Griff, who while a bad player, seems like a good guy.
It was Griffin and Wallace.
Neither should be doing that based on what they were putting out on the court at the time. Wallace for both on court and off court reasons. Which is why I can’t trust the reasons behind doing what they did to a rookie. He had been punished by the coaches who knew the situation. That is all in the past of course, but considering what was going on I won’t hold it against Noah beyond the original punishment.
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.
Ah,
I just thought it was your main reason for not liking him.

Is tipper-in an actual description?
If not, can Blogabull claim it as our own? Even if only for novelty purposes? I’d totally be fine with this.
Noah is the man. If you hate him, you suck.

If the reason is
a lingering dislike from something you saw at college level then it is silly to hold on to that. Noah is a Bull now so college shouldn’t matter. If you don’t like him based on now then fine I guess.

As much as I'd like to see Thomas start.
After his brutal shooting game, I can tolerate this one, too.

As I've said for a week now...
…even if Paxson, Del Negro and every other player on this team sucks, w/ Rose being this good and most-likely getting max money and being from chicago, he’ll be here forever.
yes but if the team doesn't get any better
from the top down (I’m looking at you, Vinny), he’ll find less reason to take the money here.
But I hope we see Rose in a Bulls jersey for as long as possible. Without him, there’s no hope
"MUAHAHAHA." - Evil Pax
He's from Chicago. he's being introduced as "from chicago" and not "from memphis"...
…unless they totally fuck everything up, which is a possibility but rather slim, he’s staying.
Yep. Which is about our only real hope right now. But it's a pretty fucking good one at that.

I havent been on here today cause im watching the internet feed but
But when they win, this may mean Gray starts,
What a play by pooh
Nah I think he was only in the lineup because of Shaq
and even though Shaq dissed the Bulls and decided to sit, VDN wasn’t gonna take Gray out after telling him he was getting the start, so he decided to just play him a quick 10 mins
Did Shaq "decide" to sit or did the coaching staff?
Wasn’t their thinking “oh its the bulls” so they can save him for important games down the stretch? Makes sense to me since he is…old now.

Rose to Gordon for a three. I liked it. :D
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.
Yep
Rose drives, kicks to Gordon for an open 3. This should happen five times every game.
Its almost like cheating to have Rose on your team. WOW
"Rest satisified with doing well and leave others to talk of you as they please"
Different types of players, too;
Mayo excels as a spot up shooter and defender, but he doesn’t have elite quickness and doesn’t break down defenses. He can be an excellent player, but he’s not a player you can build a team around. Derrick is.

This may be a historically good
rookie class. The only one I can think of was the James/Wade/Carmelo/Bosh class. there’s no James in this one, but better depth.
The poster formerly known as Freethefro.
I'm not so sure yet
This may be reminiscent of the 2006 class, where there are a lot of very good All-Star caliber players (Roy, Aldridge, Gay, and possibly Tyrus). 2003 saw the drafting of four different franchise players as well as a collection of very good players (Kirk, Ford, David West, Kaman, Josh Howard) that kind of luck is pretty rare.

Bulls play cavs tomorrow...
lets give some of the starters a rest. Nothing wrong with that. That’s why Kirk + Drew arent out there. The younger guys who need time are getting it. Its always good to see Rose play.
Anyone else notice that this is the first year that Ben didn't start off slow.
"Rest satisified with doing well and leave others to talk of you as they please"
That's a sign of progress
the thing I’ve liked most about this year is Ben’s ball handling role. Yes, Rose is on the team and yes BG can be a turnover machine, but it’s making Kirk look a bit more expendable and maybe that can bring some frontcourt help.

Working him up for a trade I hope.

I'm actually looking forward to seeing him return
if he can play competently, it may help make a guy like Hinrich a bit more expendable in Pax’s eyes. I’d like to see Hinrich and Drew packaged for some frontcourt help if such a deal exists or surfaces.

Kirk played
absolutely incredibly defense last night on Nash. These last few games he’s been terrific on that end. He needs to be getting 30 minutes a night behind Rose and BG.

I noticed that too.
Kirk was all over him early on and Nash never got his shots going. For 15 minutes that wasn’t bad.
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.
Absolutely
Kirk earned his “excellent defender” label last night. Nash never got in a rhythm, and to disrupt one of the greatest shooters in the league is a pretty good task.

5 ast and 5 stls in just under 16 minuntes is awesome

Everyone go to comcastsportsnet.com
and answer who should start with Rose when healthy?
Kirk
Ben
Larry
Thabo
that's a tough one
between Kirk and Ben.
-Kirk knows how to reverse the ball to the open shooter
-Ben is a shooter (KINDA)
so……Ben. I guess.
"MUAHAHAHA." - Evil Pax
what's frustrating
is that Ben seems like he’ll be a streaky shooter for his entire career

we need ball handling off the bench while we start Rose
Start Gordon. Kirk is the sixth man.

everyone?
His best position is bench player. He’s not had a good history starting. He’s had some good games, but a lot of stinkers as well. Let him keep coming off the bench, why mess with his success?
see? another hater
History of bad starts? That was skiles times man. One bad game and gordon would be benched for months. If we expect consistency from him we gotta give it too
by JustAnotherFan on Nov 8, 2008 6:46 AM CST up reply actions
Statistically he is about the same
starting as off the bench. That’s been pretty well documented here. What usually gets him is slow starts to the season. That’s why he got benched the last few years. And then when magically his game picks up in December people are all, “see it’s because he was benched” when really he always has slow starts even in the seasons when he started and he always picks his game up in December. This year he seems to be just fine early in the season. For the Bulls it means do you want your offense now or after you’ve gotten yourself in a hole. I want it now. It spreads the court out and helps everyone else on the team to have a shooter like that out there.
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.
The bulls had
more rebounds, more assists, more steals, more blocks, more noah and less much less Sefolosha… hmmm I wonder….
Solid game, need to carry this defensive energy into tomorrow night's rematch
Stoudemire was sick as usual, but they forced tons of turnovers, it seems like every other play there was a Bulls player at least forcing a loose ball. Rose was awesome as usual, only made a few mistakes in the 4th when everyone was choppy, and that dunk on Barbosa was quality. Lu picked it up in the 2nd half (that strong cut Lu DO THAT MORE), BG had another solid shooting night playing more minutes alongside Rose. I’m loving seeing a transition play where Rose has the ball and BG just runs to the 3 point line knowing he’ll get the ball. Noah, again proving why he should be the starting center getting tons of offensive rebounds. Even Tyrus had a solid game.

A.S. - "Sick as usual" Well, yeah, at the line at least he was, but....
A.S. had 16-18 from the FT line, GOOD D by the Bulls here, not giving him easy dunks or layups.
But 5-10 FGs for the night, and just 7 boards. Sick, as usual? Not so sure.
Like to see more of this mentality, even if it means more fouls. Old-school, Dick Motta stuff.
The, “No dunks or easy layups” mentality. Earn it at the line, ok, but no slams in traffic vs 3 Bulls.
Getting dunked on all the time, has a psychologically demoralizing effect, and having to hit 2 FTs,
is more difficult than an easy dunk. When someone does get a couple of dunks, you knock them on their
ass the next time they come down the lane. It’s a MESSAGE! Nothing easy here. And it is a mindset of
a tough defensive team. WE DON’T GIVE YOU THE EASY ONES. NO. No dunks whenever possible.
CHALLENGE IT at least. Am I wrong here?
Oh, I thought that Tyrus Thomas was much better at his role, and TWO of his fouls were because he came to help on A.S. after he beat Noah once, and Gooden another time.
These types of fouls I can tolerate! Only launched a few ill-advised Js, but hit a couple too.
He should go to the hoop more, he can draw fouls or finish.
Both TT and Noah DO need to hit their throws.
If the Bulls were better at the line last night, it’s a total BLOW-OUT.
14-24 (58.3%) doesn’t cut in the NBA.
Another consideration for BG, the guy hits his throws.
Look, pretty simple really, some ball-handling issues aside,
which is why they have DR, BG actually had some sweet looks
in the game, 6 assists, and defensively, pretty good, he had a block in
that game that did not show up in the box score too actually. Maybe you
guys saw that, he got a small piece of a jumper that turned it into an air-ball.
He was hogging a bit at times, but still, easy choice over Thabo, Hughes, or Thabo.
ANYONE who cannot see that, is WATCHING ANOTHER TEAM. Sorry!
So, now that Hughes and Hinrich are injured and Thabo basically sucks,
I guess the genius VDN will start Gordon and Rose…
DOHHHHH!!!!
For Stoudemire to be hacked every time he was in the paint
He did his job. The Bulls D didn’t give him easy points, but he still almost dropped 30, that just shows how ridiculous this guy is.

Yeah if Gooden is going to hit those jumpers and play real defense
I’m all for him getting minutes at the PF spot. I’d still like to see Tyrus play 30+ every game, but if Drew is going to produce on both ends then it’ll be fine.

But how can this team win without Thabo's defense and Gray's size?
You are proposing madness!!!!!

I didn't watch the game
But I saw the highlights. Rose is fucking amazing. I’m going to DVR tonight’s game.

Derrick Rose is more of an obvious joy to watch as a No. 1 pick. As the Suns built a team around Nash, you can see that his talent justifies the same thing happening in Chicago. And look how he learns on the job during an 18-point, 6-assist game. There was a transition play that Rose led. He came down the middle with space in front of him but forced a pass to Ben Gordon and turned it over. A play later, he was taking an outlet for another break. He shifted gears wide left and sized up Leandro Barbosa as if this was a Monta Ellis flashback, accelerating to dunk over Barbosa.
