Thanks
But is there one with the Bulls announcers?
TT
Doing his Ali impression at the beginning of the game looking pumped, I hope he can string together 3 very good games in a row.. He needs it
hilarious...
the announcers just called him yannick noah

This is great...
My first game watching online… and I wish it was a bigger screen, but it’s so nice not to listen to Funk and King…

i hate Funk
Gordon blocks Thornton – “the shot goes up, then it’s out of bounds…you could hear some skin on that play but the officials let it go”
Our offense
relies too much on gooden hitting contested jump shots. I wish D’Antoni coached the bulls and reinsdorf wasnt so damn cheap.
noah could be a young camby
if he’s lucky. same body type, same type of game, let’s just hope he turns into that with the bulls.
I wish
but it looks like Camby might sniff the hall of fame…not so sure noah will even come close, haha…
now
they are making fun of the ineptitude of our front office..
how surprising
vinny selection was and how they thought we had first d’antoni and then collins locked up but they werent able to pull hte trigger.

Too many games and no rest
http://comunidadebulleana.blogspot.com/ - Comunidade Bulleana (O blog dos Bulls em Portugal)
I agree.
Looks like he has hit a bit of a trough. The NBA season is long and young players tend to have ups and downs (unless your name was Michael Jordan and you kicked ass from the beginning to the end of your rookie year). Could be a down time for him. But he’ll bounce back.

Yes
Funk was commenting that Tyrus hurt his neck a couple of games ago and after Drew Gooden nearly smashed his head in last night he’s probably still tweakin’
Gooden Honestly
wrecked TT last night, If you watch where he hit him it was like a full out jack to the temple… I was hoping it was not going to effect him but looks like it did. Sucks TT was playing great the last couple games..

It's okay
Maybe he can play well enough to warrant us being able to dump his putrid contract onto an unsuspecting team that loves foreign hustlers cough Toronto cough. Then we can have more playing time for TT when he is healed. Winners all around

Crap Concussion
gotta be from when Gooden wailed him in the face
Ya medical staff shoulda checkem out yesterday
he looked really dazed
Rose not playing well is scary
because we all know he’s got the talent. but does he have the mind to fend off the mentality all these losers are instilling in him? we have no idea how he’ll react to that over a full season.
I don't buy that cause if you're a #1 pick chances are your team sucked when you came in to the league.

The justm lost to the 76ers 88-93 where they let for most of the game. Them and especially the pacers wont have to worry the bulls for 3rd in the division

If Rose isn't going to shoot at the end....
…of quarters/halves, then I want Gordon taking those shots. Noce is a bit out of his element driving to the basket at that point in the game. Ideally though, we’ll have Gordon and Rose on the court most times when the clock is winding down. Those are two guys who will take and make shots. Noce struggles with quick defenders in situations like that.

Isn't Doug Thonus saying this team is gonna win 45-48 games this year?
God, I hope not cause that would mean that the NBA talent level would be at an all-time low.
Just about every player on this team other than Hughes and Gooden
can reasonably be expected to play better as the season goes on. Now, if we could count on VDN coaching better, I don’t think 45-48 wins is too far fetched.

Hughes has reverted to bad Larry.

ththe 4 point play wasnt the play of the game??
who makes these decisions

It was EASILY the play of the game.
You and I both know it. Without that, we don’t get to OT and even have a chance to win.

Without Deng's big shots
Bulls lose.

It's about time he made some fourth quarter shots.
Deng disappears like a a d#ck in cold water late in games.
HUGE SHOTS FOR DENG NO DOUBT!!!
But I won’t let him off the hook for that doo-doo game he played tonight. Let’s not forget though that he wasn’t the only guy who made big plays down the stretch. It’s just that he FINALLY did it. The other guys have been doing it (Rose, Gordon and occassionally Nocioni). If Deng can get in the act then we can go from a .500 team to legitimately being at least the 4th best team in the East.

Funnies OT EVA!!
Its also the first ot ive watched this season, so maybe im good luck.
Noch is mvp of this game, just for the fact that he somehow got Zach a foul that shouldve been on thorton that was initially called on noch, then he got zbo a technical…man that was hilarious…zbo should be called big baby on looks alone.
Hughes cant hit a freethrow, he tortures me sometimes
People left the game before gordons 4 pt play….morons!
e.gordon is nothing like b. gordon….gordon wouldnt sulk after a bad play, e. gordon lost all confidence, gordon would keep playing to redeem himself. Also its funny how the rookie made all the big mistakes near the end.
At one point near the end of ot, gooden was clapping for d-roses and 1 drive, and vdn litterally grabbed him by the jersey and threw him on the floor….that was funny!
Hughes being a tall guard helped out, that last steal he got from e. gordon…part had to do with it being to predictable, but hughes was able to reach the ball which even hinrich wouldnt be able to do. IM just saying thats what length does, thats a reason why height helps in defense (but im not saying height =defense)
Overall i laguhed a ton during ot, it was uber enjoyable….give noch this one people!
Hinrich told d-rose “drive it man, they cant stop you” or at least i believe thats what he said…(or i want to believe) :)
On Behalf of Sue, Wjb, Bullshooter, and all the other Hinrich fans...Ill keep the Hinrich Hope coming...There will be light....
Who was the Player of the Game?
Just curious.

Won't even bother saying who was good or bad
Thank the Force we won, because 2 losses this annoying to shitty teams would have been just awful, especially with a date with Boston on Friday.
Noce doesn’t get any flak. Vinny used the shitty lineup, but Chapu was huge tnoight. Rose is definitely hitting the proverbial rookie wall, some help from the other guys (ie guys not named Gordon or Rose) is going to be crucial with such a tough stretch coming up again.
Again, this game proves why the Clippers are the Clippers. Randolph just destroying us the whole night, Al Thorton takes the potential game winning shot. Baron Davis the big FA acquisition to run the offense…..and Eric Gordon makes the entry pass to Randolph. Just asinine decision making.

noc didnt win the game for us
he had a couple of big plays, but he got torched by randolph the whole game and then when they switched him to camby he got abused on the glass…it doesnt matter if you score 20 points if your opponent scores 30.
by rosefromconcrete on Dec 17, 2008 10:32 PM CST reply actions
In defense of Noce though....
…how could anybody reasonably expect him to defend Randolph? It ain’t happening. If we played the Clippers again tomorrow, Randolph would have 30 more on Noce.
by lexdiamonds0730 on Dec 17, 2008 10:34 PM CST up reply actions
he did some nice things
and i agree about expecting him to guard randolph or board with camby, but we probably wouldnt have even gone to ot if noah had played instead. Rebounding and interior defense are very important and I dont think vdn understands that. I dont blame noc for not being able to do those things…i blame vdn
by rosefromconcrete on Dec 17, 2008 10:37 PM CST up reply actions
Love to agree
but Noce did a good job late in the game just merely being physical with Randolph. He flopped big time to get those offensive fouls on Randolph (the 1st one was just ridiculous). No one was going to stop Randolph, he’s been on fire and the best you can hope is that he misses those jumpers.

only late in the game
he got shredded earlier
yea but in the end
when they kept going zach, noch took him out of his comfort zone. that was a huge plus. and the help defense also came in time too. lets not forget that.
It aint easy bein' Piatkowski
ya that was the key
almost did forget what that looks like
They did the same
Gooden had some nice moments, but if ZBo is on, there are very few who can stop him. Because he’s a selfish cancer his offense is really underrated.

Noah only getting 24 minutes was a travesty. He filled up the stat sheet in those limited minutes.
7 points on 4 shots, 6 rbs, 1 ast, 2 stls, and 3 blocks and just 2 turnovers.

concussion i guess
i only saw from the posts on this board, cause the clips announcers (i was watching on LP) never announced anything about him the entire time.
Yes they did.
I had to watch it on LP too and they announced it about Tyrus before it was ever posted in here.
i musta missed it then
i admit i ff’ed through a lot of breaks in the action (i started watching it late). that and i tried to ignore them whenever possible.
Matchups!
Noah was our best bet so he had to study from the bench.
How is Noah going to learn
WITHOUT STUDY TIME?!?
VDN’s just trying to develop him.

I think we can all agree that Rose is tired as hell now
Boy if only we had a solid veteran PG on our roster who could play 5-10 minutes a game so we don’t burn our rookie out. Oh, what’s that? Lindsey Hunter was signed so he could just give high fives? Oh, nevermind then, let Rose play 40 minutes every game.

No, I don’t really like it either, and would rather have Thabo out there … but his dribbling … hopefully Hunter can not suck later this year. I didn’t notice him sucking before, but whatever.

lol
i didn’t think you were serious, of course.
i didn’t think hunter was awful either. and i wish thabo could play pg but his handle is really god awful.
I think Vinny is actually handling this right
stick to Rose/Gordon/Larry at PG/SG, while Larry is playing like this (and again, I think they told Larry to behave and they’d trade him).
Sure it means no great option at PG when Rose sits…but they manage, even if it is unnerving.

I'd like to see Rose sat down
when he’s playing like he was playing in the Clippers and Hornets games for a 4 or 5 minute burst so somebody can tell him not to be stupid and get badly blocked.
I’m worried that he’s suffering from fatigue or something … he hasn’t looked as fast as he did. Hopefully the ASG helps.

Noce guarded Thornton much of the game. Gooden was getting torched.
LA announcers said Noce was game MVP.
22 points off the bench. a huge block. drawing the offensive foul against Randolph.
Gordon with his 4 point conversion, saved our asses. Then Rose after struggling teh entire game, made that big time 3 point play.
Deng awoke from his coma to hit to key shots in crunch time.
Larry made the steal that drove the nail into the Clippers coffin.
Noah gave maximum effort.
Gooden hit some early shots and then disappeared on both ends of the court.
BULLS WERE LUCKY, but a win is a win is a win.

2 offensive fouls, actually
noc’s flailing actually paid off. he was great down the stretch, he deserves the credit. however it’s sad when noc is your best player…
i guess...i could live with it looking at it that way
and he wasnt too “larry” tonight…
It aint easy bein' Piatkowski
Yeah, it may be time to sit out some practices.
if he’s gonna log big minutes every game then we can’t have him go all out at every practice.

or they could, you know, not play him so much. they don't need him out there THAT much. especially

Yeah that just seems to logical for Vinny though
Hunter hasn’t played a meaningful minute in a week now. Thabo doesn’t even exist anymore. Why do we have these fucking guards if they aren’t going to even play?

In happier news, Aaron Gray only played 9 minutes which is about right.
Now if we just cut down Gooden’s minutes and give more to Noah and Tyrus (when he comes back), we might just have something here.

it's pointless
for him to start and then get benched. i hope vinny realizes this like he did with thabo.
Agreed that it's pointless, but I'm at least encouraged that he's no longer getting significant minutes

agreed too.
i don’t hate gray the way many people do here, but i see him as matchup specific. why start him against camby? camby is built exactly like a certain other center we have on our team…
they even play the same way. Noah is like a less skilled, younger version of Camby.
