What do you think is wrong with Rose tonight?
Flu-like symptoms? Deng had that a couple of days ago.
Rookie wall?
Let's all hope its the flu

i think tyrus got taking out for noc cause
VDN thinks that noc can spread the floor better then TT and his rebounding isn’t that MUCH worse then TT’s.
thats probably his reasoning.
phaw!
That's some Bullshit reasoning.

What?
TT for Deng? I’m a Noce fan but come on!
DRose isn’t himself, Gordon is, TT is playing well, Gooden is Gooden and Noce is…sucky!
Put Deng back in! I know he’s not “clutch” but come on!
Rose to Noc

Can't believe DJ Augustin is doing this to him.
There must be something wrong with him. I refuse to believe he’s letting DJ do this.
yea
no one mentions it much but he is really really bad. he reminds me of gooden. they both have the ability to be good defenders and the size they just spaz or fall asleep.

Rose
that worked about as well as gordon iso. Rose losing the game for us tonight…im sorry he has played horrrribly. its ok though though he is still a mazing.
I GOT IT
Rose is not happy with his regulation minutes, thus hes going huge in OT with 14 points, and 5 assists.
What to do, with Larry Hughe?
Yeah I hope so.
Looks like MJ picked a winner in DJ Augustine. But it’d be nice to see Rose put it on him in this overtime period. That damn flop that Augustine did on that 3 is killin me though!!!

Is Luol "The Great" available???
Or is he still gonna be out with cramps. This dude is hurt way too much to be 23 years old. But it’s crunch time…and you know how he is about that. Honestly, with the exception of the jump shot he hit right when he came in the game around the 8 minute mark, you could not even notice that Deng was on the court in the 4th. Let’s see if he comes back.

Hate to say this but...
if we blamed deng a while back for 2 TO’s that turned a 4 point lead into 10, then we have to blame Drose for tonight. It’s only fair.
Can't blame him for specific turnovers....
…cause everybody makes those mistakes. But you can blame him for generally being a bum ON A REGULAR BASIS when the game gets tight and means something. As I stated in another post, Deng should have been ABUSING Matt Caroll tonight. No excuse for him not to seeing as though Caroll played the 3 most of the night!!!

If he is gonna be so prominent then he’s gotta become more of a weapon. Games like tonight’s game are the ones he’s gotta play a bigger role in. Matt Caroll at the 3 for Charlotte most of the game?

Let it be known
Bulls were favored by 4.5
They were up by 3 when the stupid foul was called on Rose.
Bulls get the rebound, they woulda had to foul and Bulls would have covered the spread
id normally scoff at something like that
but this is the nba. and refs gotta make pay during the recession.
lets not forget
they dont EVEN HAVE GERALD WALLACE (or raja bell since the first quarter)
vinny has coached them to 11 wins
a decent coach like one of those guys thats been through the circuit would have won 15
How about
Trade everybody except Rose…

He was absolutely dreadful on defense, couldn’t make a shot to save his life, and was put out FIVE times. Glad he came to play today.
We just lost to the Bobcats. The Bob freakin Cats.
It happens to everybody...
…particularly when you’re a rookie. I just wonder why people don’t call Deng dreadful when that’s what he is. If he had been the stud everybody keeps saying he is then this game wouldn’t have been close. But whatever. We just got handed one by the Bobcats.

by Basketball Smurf on Dec 16, 2008 9:01 PM CST up reply actions
For your information though Basketball Smurf...
…I don’t hate Deng. But I do hold him to a higher standard than most of you Deng ass kissers do. I expect him to do what he’s capable of at least MOST of the time. I’m sick and tired of good games here and there intertwined with all these sub par or just plain average games. Then the knick knack injuries and other mysterious injuries he ends up with just trip me out. He’s been in the league 5 years and that shit needs to stop if he’s gonna be one of the leaders of our team. Gordon is at times inconsistent as well, but nowhere near as much as Deng…plus Gordon got 6.4 mil and Deng got 71 mil so yeah I bang on him, but he needs to be banged on. Most of the other SF’s in the league under 25 have made major strides in development. Deng looks like the same guy I saw on the court in the 05-06 season and that’s a damn shame. If he were a NY Knick or Detroit Piston I wouldn’t give a shit. But he’s a Chicago Bull so I concern myself with the guy that many people thought was the best player on our team B.D. (Before Derrick) and one of the best up and coming SF’s in the league. I’m a bottom line guy. No excuses. If you ain’t gettin’ it done, YOU JUST AIN’T GETTIN’ IT DONE and nobody is gonna make excuses for you so I don’t accept any of the nightly excuses being made for him for the last 2 seasons.
by lexdiamonds0730 on Dec 16, 2008 9:25 PM CST up reply actions
I don't know what this means...
so yeah I bang on him, but he needs to be banged on.
So are helping Deng by “banging” on him so much? Is it accomplishing anything?

had a disgustingly(is that even a word?) bad game.
This is a tough tough loss. I don’t know why people consider this an upset. The Bulls are not much better than this Bobcats team, if at all. I wonder if this team reaches the .500 mark this year?
Also I have a piece of advice to Noc:
Find the nearest bridge and jump off it, you worthless POS. I’m kidding but this guy is a pathetic basketball player. I want his ass traded as fast as we can.
Not if he's traded.
I’m sure nobody wants this fools horrible contract though.
The Knicks wouldn't even give up Marbury for him
Noc’s contract goes past 2010.

No, seriously.
Would have accepted more TT, more Deng even, more Noah.

Thabo would likely have shot better
than Hughes’ 1 of 7.
by Granny Waiters on Dec 16, 2008 8:49 PM CST up reply actions
That might be possible but it's still a big if for me.
Anyways, the argument is whether Thabo is the answer to our Noce problems.
Personally, I like more TT and more Deng. Keep Noce to maybe 10mins to foul people and get them pissed then get TT and Deng to log in 40mins each.
how bout all 4...
no real reason to hate on Thabo tho.
More TT and Noah would have been nice,
but Thabo is the guy who generally gets the SF minutes, and he can hit a three [unlike TT and Noah].
Do you even remember the last time Thabo played? He did pretty good, and then he got sat down on the bench for a long time for no discernible reason.
Noc was horrible tonight, and Thabo would’ve been average.

how the hell can we lose to the worst team of the eastern conference?
pathetic
http://comunidadebulleana.blogspot.com/ - Comunidade Bulleana (O blog dos Bulls em Portugal)
because
on any given night, we’re the worst team in basketball? Not consistently, but tonight there wasn’t a basketball team outside of the Thunder or Wolves we could have beat. It was atrocious basketball, poorly coached, poorly played. But we all know that.
Here’s a major issue: there’s no continuity on this team. Tyrus hasn’t played for so long, he’s basically like a midseason addition out there. Ditto Noah. We need the same guys – hopefully the right guys – to play the major minutes every night.
And the fact that Nocioni still plays at all is astonishing. Could sitting him possibly lower his trade value any more than playing him?
The poster formerly known as Freethefro.
I agree with you on most of the points
I can’t believe how Pax didn’t trade Noc yet. He’s hurting us. Everyone sees that, besides VDN and Pax. But I think we played the right guys. We just didn’t see the usual D Rose. Honestly, this was the first game I was disappointed with Rose. What happened to that explosive player, that attacked the rim at any time? His defense was awfull and even DJ Augustine outplayed him…
The only Bull that performed well was TT. Maybe he’s starting to understand where he needs to be on the court and what he needs to do to be effective.
One thing I don’t get it. I’m not say he should play, but what’s the point of Gray starting the first and the third quarters if he doesn’t going to play anymore? Is there any explanation?
http://comunidadebulleana.blogspot.com/ - Comunidade Bulleana (O blog dos Bulls em Portugal)
Did you see the
look on his face when they showed the bench late in the game. I feel sorry for Thabo.
If Rose hits the rookie wall, this team is fucked

I've never been this mad at the Bulls before..

Some thoughts on a terrible loss
1. DRose played his worst game of the year and probably lost us the game. The first time that has happened this year. He shot 3-16 fg and was killed on the defensive end. Hopefully he will use this game as a springboard to playing better D.
2. The people blaming VDN need to stop. There were no rotations problems. The Bulls made the right adjustments before overtime started. That foul on DJ Augustin’s 3 killed us.
3. We are an awful road team and we play down to the level of our competition which is a really bad thing to do on the road. Charlotte got all the calls down the stretch which happens when you are the road team.
4. Some of you guys need some prozac or xanax.
5. Deng played okay in limited run. he was 7-8 from the field. Gooden was 7-11 and hit some shots down the stretch. Why are Noce and Gray playing? Noce was especially bad on D getting taken to the whole repeatedly by MATT CARROL?!?!
6. Until we improve our defense, we will be susceptible to games like this. We allowed them back in, our intensity nose dived in the 2nd and 3rd. We only play well in spurts which is no way to win an NBA game.
7. Another one tomorrow. So hopefully, a lot of this anger (you guys are feeling, i’m cool) will wash away.

2. What foul – and no “make-up” call in OT to compensate.
3. Cows suck on the road against bad competition.

Gooden is not, or should not be considered as a long term solution
at either the 4 or 5, and Gray should only be playing 8 to 12 minutes a game.
I would start Miller and TT, with Noah getting major backup minutes.

i agree that was a BS call
Augustin shot 13 free throws. Some of those were legit, he was beating whoever was guarding him by a country mile. But man, that phantom foul on the 3 was horrid.
by Basketball Smurf on Dec 16, 2008 9:11 PM CST up reply actions
Good points
Derrick played terrible and our entire offense completely went down the tubes with him.
Ya hard to put this on VDN. Other than as your point #3 is on the coach as well as the players.
Gray only played 12 min early, and he played well enough. Calling him a starter is silly, but cant really complain. Noce was brutal.
Our defense is awful.
Biggest bright side of all this
Losses like this will only force Pax to try and make a move sooner than later . . .
Or so I hope
I still wish we would play with an actuall center during the game
Instead of putting drew gooden on Okafor. Noah and Gray were playing well (gray had 3 assists) There not that bad, but wee need a good defensive player. I like the idea of Brad Miller but mabey we can gett Camby for hughes or nocioni?
exactly...........
notice the only years we did good 04-05, and 06-07 we had at least half decent big men clogging the middle…eddy curry and ben wallace, thats all we need
Both Curry and Wallace's games have gone downhill.
Brad Miller could provide some post offense, rebounding and tough interior defense the way Bill Cartwright did. Maybe he could even elbow a few people driving the lane in the head. ;)

miller
where does everyone get this idea that miller is tough interior defender. Maybe they should look at Dalembert despite his awful contract if inside defense is the priority.

I was hoping for Thai
opps I meant Thabo….if Deng has the flu and Noch is having back problems it would of been nice to get Thabos crazy wing span to help on their small guards.
And I don’t understand why they don’t give Rose enough calls. I know hes a rookie but so is DJ. He doesn’t get enough recognition from refs; rookies with a big time role like “leader” I’d think would at least half the time.
But DJ was impressive (though I hate going into other forums and reading Hill> Rose or DJ>Rose if they play well against him since he gets more defensive attention)
Rose's worst game as pro; WTF was that shot by Gooden down the stretch?
This team’s playoff hopes are few if they continue to give away games to the Bobcats and the Memphis Grizzlies.

And for a team that runs high pick and roll, why they can’t defend it. Shouldn’t they be prepared for such tactics?
Man that was just painful to watch
A new “most frustrating loss” every week. Rose definitely was just awful today, no excuses. His shot wasn’t falling, he couldn’t convert his layups, it just wasn’t there, but hell these games are what make him a better player, learning how to manage a defense that’s keyed to stop him. Defensively, his effort was poor. Left Augustin wide open at the 3 point line too many times. That last call was pure bullshit though. No rookie ever gets that kind of whistle with the game on the line, and they didn’t even make it up in OT.
Tyrus was great, but fucking please stop shooting the J when there’s 10 feet of open space. I don’t mind him shooting it, but just dribble it a few times get a closer shot, or force the big man to commit and he’ll find someone down low.
Deng had a good game before apparently cramping up, could have used him as another option and on defense. Nocioni and Hughes weren’t terrible, but didn’t do anything good either.
Someone please refresh my memory, was Gooden anywhere near the basket on the last play in regulation? I thought he wasn’t (Norm Van Lier agrees), my brother said he was right there for Rose to pass to. Rose obviously knew Okafor was going to come strong, if Drew was there he definitely should have dumped it off. Bah, another day another lottery team to play.

Just like I thought
Rose had a bad game no doubt, but he needs an option once Okafor comes leaping there.

I like option27's idea
More of these games = more reason for Paxson to get off his ass and do something
There's been plenty of these games already
That show why the Bulls are not a very good team. Hell you can even chalk up a blowout on Friday against the Celtics….on the road.

Yep
This game, every game there is an obvious hole in the roster and it needs to be filled

what the fuck?
worst call i’ve seen all season. that whole overtime period shouldn’t have even happened. i can’t believe they blew it. nothing cures a losing streak like playing the bulls, huh??
Agree
Call was horrible, but never should have been in that position and still had many chances including all of OT to fix it. Bad call doesnt excuse the loss.
