Wikipedia says:
“In 2008, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the arena, it was announced that The Palace would be raising banners to the ceiling for musical acts that have had multiple sold-out shows at venues owned by Palace Sports & Entertainment. Bon Jovi was the first to get a banner in February followed by Neil Diamond in July.”
Is Noah really starting?

"He's not scared to take that shot," Rose said. "That's Larry. No matter what, I don't need to remind him to shoot. He's willing to shoot any time."
Sorry!

Good decision by Rose
Score score score
"He's not scared to take that shot," Rose said. "That's Larry. No matter what, I don't need to remind him to shoot. He's willing to shoot any time."
The usual start
http://comunidadebulleana.blogspot.com/ - Comunidade Bulleana (O blog dos Bulls em Portugal)
getting down big early on road = disaster
We’ve had so much luck with the Bears these last few days. Maybe it’s not in the cards for the Bullies tonight.
yeah, they were dumb enough to grab Iverson
dude’s a name now and that’s it.
He's still got a lot in him
He’s just in the wrong system. A system that involves practice.
"He's not scared to take that shot," Rose said. "That's Larry. No matter what, I don't need to remind him to shoot. He's willing to shoot any time."
Why is Rose not utilized correctly?
Should we just put the ball in this guy’s hands, let him drive, score or kick it out? I prefer that over any weird plays set up for Nocioni
Hopefully Derrick
will realize he can shoot right over A.I. every time
"He's not scared to take that shot," Rose said. "That's Larry. No matter what, I don't need to remind him to shoot. He's willing to shoot any time."
we're ice cold
and noc shoots it every time he gets it.
Bulls are making the Pistons look
like a ‘7 seconds or less’ squad
"He's not scared to take that shot," Rose said. "That's Larry. No matter what, I don't need to remind him to shoot. He's willing to shoot any time."
how does he still have a sprained ankle...
since preseason?

Come on man!
I’m back in Chicago for the holidays. This is the only time I’ll ever be able to watch the game in HD (otherwise I have to watch it on 10fps internet) and they’re looking like they’re going to get blown out. All I want is a competitive game.
This team makes me cringe...
They play no D and then come down and clank a fucking jumpshot everytime.
haven't started watching yet
but I see Bulls got down big early and Aaron Gray didn’t start. So…I take everything back, Gray wasn’t costing us wins he was getting them.

If Nocioni would just drive to the hoop more.
He’d have half a chance of being an average player again.

Stacy King is a bad color guy.
He just spent a minute talking about how Noah has to “pick his poison” between cutting off Iverson as he gets around Rose or staying with Rasheed Wallace at the 3pt line. Noah played that perfectly and King made it sound like he needed to do better by "closing out under control towards Wallace.
HE FUCKING PLAYED IT PERFECTLY!!!
That play was on Rose for letting Iverson get around him. Fuck. I wish owners and GM’s of this city were smarter. Then the announcers would be smarter. Then the fans would be smarter.
Shit.
Viva la nuance! Reading comprehension rules!!!
deng is playing well
offensive rebound and a nice hook
And I'd like to see Deng and Nocioni follow their clanking threes to keep...
…Iverson and Stuckey off the boards. Since, you know, those were the only two in the realm of the basketball.
Viva la nuance! Reading comprehension rules!!!

Holy crap, Deng is our CENTER tonight
Noah is still spacey.
Detroit’s had a lot of easy buckets to start the game.

I love when Larry plays well
and ups his trade value
how does hughes hit those ? how ?
i hope he kills it…making all these impossible jumpers….so we can ship off
Here comes Maxiell's double-double
"He's not scared to take that shot," Rose said. "That's Larry. No matter what, I don't need to remind him to shoot. He's willing to shoot any time."
At least Tyrus drives...
what the fuck is with the shit fake, bullshit drive, and then kick out to do the same thing again until the shot clock runs down?
I think it's become obvious, we are just an AWFUL road team.
We could blame different things, but young teams usually struggle on the road and that’s what our problem has been.
Fuck!
How can this be possible? Is everyone sleeping?
http://comunidadebulleana.blogspot.com/ - Comunidade Bulleana (O blog dos Bulls em Portugal)
See how those guys who don't start don't play with Rose as much?
See? No? I didn’t think so.

TYRUS AND HUGHES

eh
Just Tyrus
"He's not scared to take that shot," Rose said. "That's Larry. No matter what, I don't need to remind him to shoot. He's willing to shoot any time."
Today I have the chance to see the game on tv
Are you telling me that that shot didn’t count?

this game's got a weird feel to it for the bulls
like you feel rose and gordon should have the ball in their hands…..creating……
and yet it’s mostly been nocioni and hughes doing that
I have a question
How come no one looks like they’re having fun in the NBA? Everybody always looks depressed. Even after a good shot or play. Why is that? Aren’t they all millionaires living their childhood dreams?
seasonal affective disorder (SAD)
plus, players have to live up to a much higher standard and professionalism than just pickup games.
/also maybe the fun of high school and college to “the real world”
/or just immaturity….at least no one on this team is bad as STARBURY

Well looks like we found our low-post scorer
and his name is Derrick Rose
"He's not scared to take that shot," Rose said. "That's Larry. No matter what, I don't need to remind him to shoot. He's willing to shoot any time."
gray's passing really well
if he was hitting a luol deng instead of thabo and gordon, it’d be great
he really is passing well
he is
just sad that his best option from 6 feet 4 times now has been to pass.
If he can't score
at least he’s giving the ball to someone who can

I'm liking this Thomas-Maxiell battle
"He's not scared to take that shot," Rose said. "That's Larry. No matter what, I don't need to remind him to shoot. He's willing to shoot any time."
Is Brad Miller walking through that door?
I hope not
"He's not scared to take that shot," Rose said. "That's Larry. No matter what, I don't need to remind him to shoot. He's willing to shoot any time."
Just get Wennington out of that radio headset and make him suit up

See you after halftime, Rose

iverson is so small
that it’s hard not to foul him when he’s driving
he sells it really well too
detroit still has our number.
new pieces but same result
when you play this bad
every team has your number
by i_like_turtles on Dec 23, 2008 7:59 PM CST up reply actions
i don't feel that they're playing that great.
yet they’re up 13
This is garbage...
This bullshit small ball crap just offends me. Noce SHOULD NEVER, EVER, UNDER ANY FUCKING CIRCUMSTANCE be a center. When you trot out five guys under 6-8, you deserve to get your ass kicked. I don’t care about match-ups, it’s a GIMMICK. You throw a bunch of 1-3’s out there and you just can’t board no matter how hard you work.
And the refs calling bullshit on Rose isn’t helpng either. The pistons are not a good team and we’re getting obliterated b/c our coach hasn’t prepared our team mentally AND he puts out the most ridiculous lineups in the entire league. Deng is terrible to, I have finally come to that conclusion. He looks like a fucking robot out there. Play Thabo at the 3 instead. Rose-BG-Thabo-Tyrus-Noah=a NORMAL line-up with your BEST players! So let’s see it in the second half some!
Fuck VDN! What a moron! Why do we suck so bad? Let all of this non-Rose time make us even more thankful we lucked out and got him. If we don’t luck out, THIS is the team we have to watch all year. And THIS is disgusting.
+1
could the Bulls look any worse?
I vote for Thomas to play, play more and play regularly.-Sam Smith
Tyrus was playing far too well
to stay out there.
Noah started but we know that means he only gets to play 15 min max this game.
we haven't had one stop since Noc
was put in at the 5. ridiculous

Here comes the mini run...
to bring it down to 12!
our only chance is to have rose put this team on his back in the second half
….which in most games is our only chance
Bulls only down 11
after this 1st half… consider me content
I vote for Thomas to play, play more and play regularly.-Sam Smith
hey larry hughes with a mini run of his own!
steal and lay up. then shoots two FT’s in next possession.
i didnt have a good look at Hughes shot at buzzer?
did they count it? how close was it?
I vote for Thomas to play, play more and play regularly.-Sam Smith
...with 3 seconds left on defense
they couldn’t have played worst D
Rose and BG already with 3 fouls
Not good, no good at all since AI will try to get fouls everytime he drives to the basket
http://comunidadebulleana.blogspot.com/ - Comunidade Bulleana (O blog dos Bulls em Portugal)
Hughes with 16 at halftime.
Noce with 8.
Now that is depressing.
Where the Hell are Gordon, Deng and DRose?
deng played well i thought
rebounded and made a nice hook
but i didn’t feel like he played that much – why’d noc get more time than him ?
"Matchups"
TT playing well in limited minutes as well
which is stupid
deng matches up better with their bigs than nocioni
Ben really not playing very well tonight
probably cause Derrick isnt out there
"larry hughes is one of the best defenders in the league - playing the passing lanes"
highly debatable king.
I am still pissed that VDN went with Noce at center
…I wonder if he sees the connection to us being down by 13. I doubt it.

We got excited about Noah starting
We just didnt realize he’d be elevated into the vaunted Aaron Gray role
HOLY CRAP
did the bulls just come out of a break in the action and do something positive?
curry has no faith in his team
which is a veteran team
strange.
ahh wouldve like rose take that to the rim instead of passing to deng
and why did deng take that quick jumper. go to the rim deng
Rose and BG with 4
Were are fucked

Agree. And that's why we need to win this one
http://comunidadebulleana.blogspot.com/ - Comunidade Bulleana (O blog dos Bulls em Portugal)
actually a bad thing because Stuckey has dominated
but we might not see bs fouls

well
I hope this comeback convices VDN to leave Joakim in
Fouling in the NBA is a joke
When something is literally completely up to the ref and they can let a foul go one second and call it the next, you have a serious problem with your league. And if someone can lean into someone and a foul is called without that person leaning in or making any contact with their hands…then your league is a sham.
I'm getting tired of Deng

Nice to see some Bulls not named Rose getting in the paint mixing it up
and getting to the line

not every team is gonna guard rose

Still don't know what else you want from Noce.
He’s finally scoring, finally rebounding and you styill want him replaced. Meanwhile, players like “3 quarter” Deng are stinking it up and they is no clamor to get them out of there.

this game was winnable. but the bulls are horrible on the road. I think it will be different in the united center
by Basketball Smurf on Dec 23, 2008 9:28 PM CST up reply actions
I thought so
And if Rose and Ben had some more time to play then I think we would of had an even better shot. Detroit has been playing pretty up and down. And AI doesn’t really help set the tone for them. I actually thought that AI going out would of let Stuckey get off more and run their offense more efficiently.
If the Bulls actually played to win
They would have.

Why does somoen have a career night everytime they play the Bulls?
Augustin in Charlotte, Camby at home, now Stuckey? Is it just bad luck or is our defense that bad? I’m guessing a litte bit of both, but mostly our horrific defense.
god
i hate the shoulder shrug, wha??

i hate to say it
but the bulls should trade Deng for a big man, maybe Kaman, while they still can. He doesn’t fit and doesn’t seem to know what he is doing out there

No way Pax

why do the bulls always let the 2 last minutes crunch down without fouling
and then when there is 30 sec left and game is over, the foul in a hurry…
damn!!
Noce comes in and immediately scores.
He now has 18pts and 8 rebounds but people still want him to sit down.
This thread is one hell of a tough crowd.
Tyrus, Noc, BG
only ones who came to play today
I vote for Thomas to play, play more and play regularly.-Sam Smith
Got that right.
NOw, hopefully, TT will do this all the time, so Noce can return to the bench or be traded for a big man.
At least this is...
three straight good games for TT (not counting the one he left early). He looks active out there and is the only frontcourt force we have right now. He deserves 35 minutes a game EVERY NIGHT, REGARDLESS OF MATCH-UPS.
I’m not going to make a big deal out of that three—-but wow, that was pretty. What if he develops three point range? Seriously?
You absolutely do not trade this guy right now. Get rid of Noah instead.
don't trade either
the bulls have enough trade pieces with Gooden, Noce, Hinrich and Hughes. They don’t need to throw in one of the young bigs unless they can get an all-star in return.
by Basketball Smurf on Dec 23, 2008 9:38 PM CST up reply actions
loss by 4 points.
Better than I expected, with Larry, BG, Noce an TT coming up big…
But damn! Stuckey went off really big too and this is the nth time DRose has been outplayed by less fancied players (Augustin was the worst of DRose’s nightmares).
What is happening here!
Cant really fault Rose this time
and Stuckey’s been quite good for a while now, people just havent really noticed.
Foul trouble=outplayed?
He didn’t even guard Stuckey. Blame the scoring night on the Bulls worthless effort on defense.

Rose gets no calls and he and Ben both got so much BS.
Derrick Rose looks at a Piston and is called for the foul!

Hope the officials get REAL nice presents from the Pistons.
I don't mean to get back on this, but I gotta say it.
Deng has been looking pretty average….again. No factor when the game matters. He does some little things like keep a big offensive rebound alive, but thats only a part of what we need from him.
Too often i’ve come in here and seen people kick Nocioni, Thomas, and Gordon around (even Kirk) when they don’t play well. Looks like people are finally calling Deng out. That’s all I’ve ever asked people to do. To watch this guy and see how much of a non-factor he is at times. There is NO reason a guy with Deng’s size and skill should EVER be a non factor.
Everybody has bad games….and I do mean EVERYBODY. But Deng is having too many of these non-descript games for us to be depending on him. Time to wake up Loul.

Was there mud on the court?
The 1st quarter looked like they were playing the snowstorms outside. Horrible defensive effort, no rebounds at the worst moments (how Noce didn’t rebound that ball after Maxiell missed the dunk……).
Yay for Tyrus and BG having good games, Rose was alright in his limited time, AI just abused his superstar treatment with the refs tonight, I can’t imagine how frustrated Derrick was. Deng was invisible on offense, Noah was worthless……..oh no wait, I’m too negative, it’s a good thing to watch this team fall flat on their face everytime they try and reach a win loss record they are perfectly capable of achieving!

Ben was mediocre til the 4th
Then he was awesome.
I thought Ben was pretty limited too
AI tripped and they called a foul on him.
We really could of got this game if Rose and Ben played more. We played horrible on D but I don’t think the Pistons really deserved it that much more. Also we might as well have tried to have ridden Rose at least 3 more minutes in the 3rd when we were on the 8/9-0 run not sure why so many coaches are afraid to do so.
Vinny is a dipshit for not using Rose all of the 3rd quarter
They had the Pistons on their heels, Rose could have scored on every possession just attacking Iverson who was just waiting to get out of the building. Let him foul out, at least that shows a commitment to winning the game instead of “saving” him for when the Bulls were again down by 14 and they need to make the score look respectable.

What happened to fundamentals like “boxing out” on rebounds. I can’t tell you how many times I see Bulls players just standing there with defenders walking by them to grab rebounds.
As far as Deng, the guy is such a non-factor and looks clueless out there. It looks like he gives no effort.
Why did the Bulls hire VDN. The guys has no offensive or defensive gameplan. The Bulls look like a team of scrubs playing pickup at the YMCA.
And why doesn't this fucking team talk to each other on the court?
This has been going on for years now. Pippen mentioned this in the 1st game of the 2005 playoffs, how these guys never communicate defensively. Hunter got blindsided by a Wallace pick, his teammates don’t notice that and tell him to get out of the way? That’s like basic pick up basketball. Sheeeesh, Festivus cannot come any sooner.

Festivus, that’s great…saw that episode of Seinfeld today.
No help defense at all. So many wide open cuts and drives to the basket today. I actually miss Skiles because at least he had a structured gameplan. VDN is a joke.
And Noah…completely worthless. This guylooks like he doesn’t belong in the NBA. I didn’t see many of his games at Florida sometimes he looks like this is the first time he picked up basketball. Just bad…
well, this next stretch of games should be pretty depressing
next up are the @ the Heat (probable loss with Wade playing at an MVP level), then the @ Hawks (loss), @ New Jersey (Bulls beat them, but in NJ I expect them to win), home vs. Magic (loss), and @ Cleveland (almost certainly a loss). They are 13-15 and have a very good chance to lose their next 5 games to put them at 13-20. Talk about a bummer. At least Tyrus is playing well.
