hopefully there will be no blowout
"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."
you fail.
"You remember the first time you picked up a basketball video game and you had no idea how to run plays, so you just gave the ball to your shooter and you ran around the court aimlessly until a defender was far enough away and then you jacked up a shot? THAT IS LARRY HUGHES!"

The Joe Johnson - Hughes/Sefolosha matchup
should be interesting.

Interesting tidbit
Luol Deng, Deron Williams, and Brandon Roy were wearing the same model Nike shoe when they injured their ankles.

I hope Rose
makes Marc Stein eat his words
"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."
I don't know who's going to have more trouble
Mike Bibby or 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."
what I like
is that he’s not a black hole on offense when he gets the ball
"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."
haha at Deng having fans in Atlanta
"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."
leaking like the Hawks' interior D!
"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."
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."
something like that...
"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."
There's the extra gear by 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."
refs don't seem to mind
Gray spending 18 seconds in the paint…nice
"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."
rose i into it! Yeah!!
i like how the bulls play aggressive and fast!
LOL about the 18 seconds in the paint!! so true
Not too bad so far
I’m surprised Atlanta isn’t trying to push it under the basket like last time and get Gray in foul trouble
I dont know if i want Noah in...
I remember him getting schooled by his ex teammate last time we played them and gray has been solid his passing ability is great
man that was a terrible game for Noah
"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."
They're playing within their roles (for now, at least)
Gordon – hit open shots
Rose – slash/create
Thomas – defense defense defense
Gray – boards
Sefolosha – be a small forward
"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."
I'm surprised "Funking"
didn’t mention anything…they talked about it yesterday
"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 Hinrich isn't around
to get dunked on
"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."
Talking about Thabo attitutde...
great fake and pass to the hot player of the moment!! Good work Thabo!
Please don’t trade him! Don’t be silly!
What's the happs so far?

yeah how many times have they gone at Noce on the block now?
10? Ugh.

yet another.
at least this means less Noce shortly.
Sober, I was appalled at the women. Drunk I was told I danced with them all.
But you know he's just around the corner
The coaches buy into his crap energy when if they played someone with better defense it would do the same thing.

mainly because D-Rose has the ballin’ ass game today

Him and BG are saviors
I cannot imagine watching this team without those 2 playing……ugh just would be sickening.
Also, this is weird, like seeing your teacher at a restaurant(you’re not my teacher but you get the idea)

Ugh they give up the rebound
TT rides the pine

The poster formerly known as Freethefro.
He's just getting old
Anyone who plays like he did over the years tend to have about 4 or 5 years removed from the end of their careers
He's lost all explosiveness.
The good news is, we have a GM who’s paid to foresee these kinds of things, and to make judicious choices regarding who we should sign long term.

that is like 8 bad plays in a row for the bulls

'd liek to point out that culprit number one
in this snowballing of garbage was Noc. He’s had a huge impact on this game.
The poster formerly known as Freethefro.
Whatever happened to playing quick but not in a hurry?
I see no transition game at all. Ever y single set is against a fully set up defense.
A trade could quickly change
his fortunes with us.
The poster formerly known as Freethefro.
First tiem he's gotten extended burn
and he’s heating up. Wasnt that the case last year?
by California Al on Dec 27, 2008 7:02 PM CST up reply actions
well he's a good trade bait cause his contract expires for the 2010 free agent thingo...
but… id love to see him stay…
oo wee three by Thabo
"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."
His 3
has arc now!
HE’S LEARNING HOW TO PLAY!
"You remember the first time you picked up a basketball video game and you had no idea how to run plays, so you just gave the ball to your shooter and you ran around the court aimlessly until a defender was far enough away and then you jacked up a shot? THAT IS LARRY HUGHES!"
-Anonymous fan letter, heylarryhughespleasestoptakingsomanybadshots.com
he's always been a terrific player, but VDN needed to play him more!
He’s the swiss team captain (not that it is an amazing thing!!) but with the national team he plays with confidence and he is INCREDIBLE!! he plays right like now… confident, in rythm.. amazing defender and runner
we have 10 defensive rebounds
they have 8 offensive rebounds. horrible
by Basketball Smurf on Dec 27, 2008 7:07 PM CST up reply actions
he likes to score threes when trailing by 10 with 1 minute remaining.
But its true he needs to improve his 2nd/3rd
the Bulls are playing 1 on 5 on the defensive end
good luck thabo
by Basketball Smurf on Dec 27, 2008 7:05 PM CST reply actions
I'm looking for BG and Thabo to join him
I’m saying at least 20 tonight for Thabo if he can keep this pace up
i think his record is 17 or something...
will most probably beat it.. except if VDN decides to put Noce instead!
Thabo keeps looking like he's got help defense
and the other four don’t know it. Several times I’ve seen him give his man one side and he strolled in wide open.
what did he do now?
The poster formerly known as Freethefro.
Decided to try to flop his way to an offensive foul
instead of just rotating to the open man.
70 fucking points in a half?
This team is truly a disgrace.
The poster formerly known as Freethefro.
Very true
There’s really no system at all.
Bulls continue to actually get foul calls...weird
"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."
love that tyrus
wish i could say the same about noah.
nice first half from T2
8/6/3. How bout a forward rotation of he and Boozer?
The poster formerly known as Freethefro.
(I say this like it's sooooooooo feasible)
The poster formerly known as Freethefro.
Positives – Thabo’s playing time, Gordon’s shots, Rose’s tenacity
Negatives – Allowing second-chance points, leaving Joe Johnson open, and it seems people are not liking Nocioni more than usual
"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."
i get too emotional with Noce..
i don’t just not like him… i get nervous and very aggressive when he chucks bricks around… definitely hate him more than Hughes! And i hate hughes though!
My hate for Noce is just at another level…
Box Score says he played 7 minutes?
felt like 20
Noce / Hughes / Noah can go...
Keep Thabo Thomas… not the other way round like the rumours would say 2 weeks ago…
Which will never happen, unfortunately
"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."
That is the problem
He is playing half, but now he’s in the NBA. He was an oversized, fast PF in college. He’s a very weak center with no post game in the pros. His only offense is going to come when he’s first up the court and can downtown on a mismatch.
by California Al on Dec 27, 2008 7:21 PM CST up reply actions
But he's never the first up or down
For all the raves about his work ethic and willingness to win pre-draft, I don’t see much of it.

Agreed, we got shafted in this one
Maybe we’ll be lucky to find some coach who’d be wiling to break his head in or “motivate hm” ala Sheed Wallace
If he was actually a full-time hustle player
(instead of just the first 2 minutes he’s on the court), he’d be a legit NBA big man.
I think this is just an off year ...
he didn’t come in ready to work, he’s out of shape, etc. etc., and next year he’ll be back strong.
I really do feel that way. I know, seems odd … but … yeah.

Play Rose, Gordon, Thabo, Tyrus, and Noah
That’s their best hope for a good defensive lineup. They need rebounding to the maximus to win the game. It is absolutely pathetic to shoot 62% from the field and be LOSING by 5.

Actually,
I’m more surprised than anything else, if Thabo was this effective on offense last year, Deng wouldn’t have received such a huge extension
If Thabo was this effective Deng would have been traded 3 years ago

switched to Cal-Miami
that really isn’t fun to watch.

thabo actually has the biggest playing time of all bulls today..
good understanding of VDN we need some D!
Didn't Hughes pick up
2-3 quick fouls in two minutes of PT?…
Don’t give VDN any credit for subs… ;)
Hah, well played in deed
That’s why he’s my fav player! ;) (Throws up)
VDN wouldn't have played Thabo
if Deng was healthy
so VDN receives zero credit
"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."
Rose overrated?
Is Rose’s inability to get assists these days because the rest of the Bulls can’t hit a shot? Or is there another reason?
1 outside shooter and noone that can finish inside
and Vinny refuses to teach Rose and Tyrus the pick and roll
Sounds a bit familiar
When he was struggling in the summer league, people were yelling this for a while. Luckily they were dead wrong
Other than MJ,
every rookie has up and down games.
by Granny Waiters on Dec 27, 2008 7:29 PM CST up reply actions
62 PERCENT SHOOTING?????
since that’s impossible for a Bulls team, I’m thinking the bulls shoot no better than 38% this half
thabo is 5 for 5 and BG is on fire
but as you said… im affraid the 2nd half is gonna compensate this to bring it back to normal %s
Has Noah ever been played at the 4?
Just curious if he could do his thing if at his natural/college position.
I counted ONE screen the first half
Set by Gray. (Ok, so I wasn’t really counting the WHOLE time…)
It’s not like the screen is an integral part of bball or anything…
That's the #1 thing that makes me wish D'Antoni was here.
Watching Duhon + whoever run really nice pick and rolls against us made me very sad.
Being able to get yout players to set
screens I feel most coaches should be able to do…
Noah always runs the P & R
Just a lot of times by himself

you need to recount
the bulls play screen and roll on almost every play. did you mean off the ball screen?

And 1!
"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."
agreed
Does he have any kind of outside shot? Can’t see him contributing much on the blocks, but that is one large screen. Now if he could only develop an Okur or Laimbeer set shot.

"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."
Yeah...
But I kinda wish his assist numbers were a lot better. You’ve seen with CP3 how his assists are so much more damaging than his points…
too bad we won't see this from him in a Bulls uniform next year
"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."

I never expected the Bulls to be a good team defensive team, but this is ridiculous
They don’t have enough offensive weapons to win 120-115 games. Jesus, they have to at least pretend to play some D.

No.Hughes and Nos have balls.
Other question is who is going to cut them.

What does VDN bring to the table?
He’s obviously not adept at X’s-and-O’s, since it’s hard to tell if this team actually runs plays. He’s obviously not a great motivator, since this is a horrible defensive team (and defense is in large part effort). Other than great hair, what does he contribute?

to remind myself why Noc plays in the NBA.
"I don't know, I think the Bears should just defer so they don't have to put their offense out there to start" -Tony Kornhesier
I love it when people talks about how hard he plays

by darksmokepuncher on Dec 27, 2008 8:48 PM CST up reply actions
In the Miami game yesterday
Whoever the female announcer was commented on his tough scrappy defense every time he was near the ball.
His “tough, scrappy defense” translates to letting the other guy score or blatantly fouling him and whining to the ref when he blows the whistle.
"I don't know, I think the Bears should just defer so they don't have to put their offense out there to start" -Tony Kornhesier
Noc has really regressed the past few years
He’s become completely undisciplined as a player. He just runs around on offense and throws up threes, and wanders around the court aimlessly on defense. He was never a good man-to-man defender, but he usually at least tried to stay with his man a few years ago. And I think I can count on one hand the number of times this season he’s taken the ball to the hole. I can’t really blame him though, since he plays the same minutes no matter how poorly he plays. Hell, if I could be lazy at work and face no consequences, I’d probably do the same thing.

It seemed like the Bulls would always beat the Hawks. Yet the Hawks had so much damn talent. I guess they finally put it together. But they seem like a 2nd round and out team.

They haven't put it together.
We hung like 120 on them! More Thabo and less Hughes [and more anyone/less Noc], and we win this game.
They’re just not very consistent.
"You remember the first time you picked up a basketball video game and you had no idea how to run plays, so you just gave the ball to your shooter and you ran around the court aimlessly until a defender was far enough away and then you jacked up a shot? THAT IS LARRY HUGHES!"

damn, I saw a different game
No defense, Rose missing free throws, can’t hit outside the line with only 12 3pt baskets for the year, Bibby didn’t even guard him hard. Atlanta has no strong D in the paint, a team that will he will be shut down in now in most towns. Both Rose and Gordon missing shots down the end of the game, not one post for your high scorers, we all love the high scorers, their misses or turnovers don’t matter, all support for scorer’s. But the bitch is defense too, now you all hate Hughes, remember, he took his assignment to play defense on a guy almost 3 inches taller and 100lbs more in weight and got three early fouls and a bad call and technical for someone that Gooden would be on. No understanding. He is all we have that can pay defense. Take the defensive side of the board, and ask why the coaches play him the third and fourth quarter, but don’t let him get hot for shooting. Take his eleven year average and you will see 30 and 40 point games within the last 24 months in Cleveland and playing the point thru the Eastern conference all the way. Take Rose minutes versus Hughes, same FG points, take Rose versus Hughes on 3 pt games, Hughes has 28 made this year vs Rose 12 and half the minutes and a higher percentage? Hughes, chucker???? , then turnovers only 23, versus 80 for Rose and 75 for Gordon, the minutes are doubled, so hope you can figure the math. The other players have a way higher percentage. Points for the year, Rose 500, Hughes 260, time 1050 minutes Rose, 570 Hughes. Quite frankly when it comes to everything about defense, when you look at Steals of 29 over Rose and Gordon, you look at turnovers 23, versus 80 and 75 for Gordon and Rose. Don’t bitch about defense, but bitch about Hughes, you can’t read stats, half the time, some numbers higher with half a game? Some percentages higher? We are paying him 15 and 17 million to 2010, I would take the D and put the man on the court. Remember winning the start of the season? Plus, higher free throw shooter also. Only thing is lower is assist, but when your playing third and fourth quarter D, thats what you get. Nothing to trade but Rose, Washington wants Hughes as does a couple other teams, but we the Bulls have not one other player that doesn’t have a contract problem or injury. You think its painful watching, think how painful it is to play for this team, these guys want out of this franchise. Noah a bust, Deng, Gooden hurt, Gordon contact problems, can’t hit the pressure shot, so everybody is lining up for Hughes and Tyrus and Nocioni, NOPE. Problem is one thing, Rose filled our seats with 40 plus minutes, and will be toasted by January, when Lebron James is limited to around 35 to be decent and have his legs all year (and a monster body) and the real problem, the bulls team makes $$$$$, so expect the same, over and over. Don’t worry about the contracts, because six world championships give you the second in attendance in the league a dozen years later, so why sweat it when your the owner? Rose is the future, but how old will he be before injuries, minutes and flop draft picks from poor records accomplishes anything.
They just make a move each year to look like your trying, then collect the money. The way it is, the way it will remain no matter who you play with this squad and nothing to trade or no interest from anyone. Players want out, even Dikembe Mutumbo who is 43 will be back in 2 weeks, blow Gray or Noah off the court, has seven teams want him, Boston and Lakers probably will get him, nobody wants anyone on this team, would you? Don’t see any interest for Gray or Noah from seven teams. Wait two weeks, he is on the court at 43.
you usually do.

So whats your answer? None, but complain.
Why not something that just bitch, 13-17 missed down the stretch and you always blame one or two players, maybe never played the game did you?
fine...
Listen. the Larry love is fine. But you can’t doubt that the team is a lot worse on both ends of the court when him (&/or Noc) are on the floor. He has a few freak games every year where he shoots .450 and above, but it’s never consistent enough. This contract is the result of half a year of freak games that made Washington believe that Hughes is a decent off guard…
