"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."
blasphemy!

Yeah, but we still have TT, don't we?

I kind of wish we had McGee.
He’s pretty good. And young! And other stuff!
Woo Dee, too. Though … eh. He doesn’t play too much. They always take him out early.

gordon is starting to bug me
He needs to move the ball quicker and get it to rose when he’s open, and deng should have thrown the lob to d. rose on that 2 on 1.
4 of 5 from the field
and 3 of 4 from the line for Deng so far.
Hope Luol keeps earning his contract.
Wtf happened to Gooden?
He can’t take a shot…

Come on Tyrus
I started you in my fantasy league! You’re against people who aren’t very good! Please? :D
Not a good first quarter for him. :/

the combined shot-jacking of gooden and hughes
could take out an army
gooden’s turn-around jumper against two defenders was a travesty..the man thinks he is KG
At least Larry Hughes isn't overrated
Hughes 3-3 3pt

noc is soo bad
He is really our worst player
by rosefromconcrete on Dec 6, 2008 8:14 PM CST reply actions
yeah but
noc shouldnt take it to the rim. His lack of agility is astonishing and whenever he tries hes out of control. He really lost a step (and wasnt too agile before). He should only take open jump shots and sit on the bench.
by rosefromconcrete on Dec 6, 2008 8:16 PM CST up reply actions
sometimes...
he shouldn’t even take open jump shots
"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 usually agree with you...
i know this bc I remember your screen name- but this time I don’t. I’d actually rather him drive than shoot. I think he’s one of the few players on the bulls that aggressively drives straight to the rim and doesnt give a shit who’s in his path.
I should note that this doesn't make up for his faults...
most blatantly, his terrible defense. just sayin.
i guess
but it always seems like he committs a charge or gets stripped when he drives. Either way he shouldnt play and the only explanations for his pt are…
1) big contract
2) spread the floor for rose (although its questionable if he still does that)
3) he tries hard???

Good Q by Bulls
And Hughes is playing good.Wow…
General manager needs the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow,next week, next month, and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn't happen.
Sir Paxdorf.
did anyone notice...
that luol’s resurgence coincided with him cutting his ridiculous goatee? Its almost like we were forced to suffer through a bizarro luol who couldnt hit the 18 footer for the first 15 games and now we got the real luol back. Or at least I hope thats what happened.
by rosefromconcrete on Dec 6, 2008 8:25 PM CST reply actions
yeah, that thing was terrible.
we have some new cuts on this team tonight- hughes, and noc finally got that 70 porno do trimmed. did the team bring in a barber or something?
Just joining in from lalaland...
Anyone mind briefly giving me the story thus far? Thanks!
Is Noah hurt/too hung over to play?
Is Javale McGee really that good that you need to “match up” with him?

Sir Paxdorf.
agreed. this could not be a more obvious move
vinny pisses me off with some of his decisions / lack thereof
At least Larry Hughes isn't overrated
Im starting to see why vdn likes gray
He knows his role and doesnt even think about shooting the ball. I mean, if gooden was on the floor then it would be a contest to see who shoots first and prevents rose from touching the ball. Gray knows only to shoot when hes within 4 feet.
by rosefromconcrete on Dec 6, 2008 8:30 PM CST reply actions
i agree.
i liked the one in-out sequence bet gray-gordon that ended in an open 3-pt look for gordon. that does happen with out other “bigs”
nice end to the half
nice 2fer right there
"Gooden for three..." *spit-take* WAIT...Did tha- did he really...
5 minutes for Tyrus
is unacceptable. Honestly….c’mon Vinny…please sit Noc down. I hate Chachi, what an awful coach
especially since noc isn't the type of guy to bitch (a la larry hughes) if he sits his ass on the bench...
for an extended pd of time.
Hughes is playing good.
Much to my chagrin [and delight?]. He is [mostly] taking his shots in the context of the offense, and guess what: he’s hitting them!
Amazing how that works. Maybe he’s figured it out!
… I’ve probably just jinxed it.

whats the deal with vdn?
Why is he so obsessed with matchups?? Does he feel that he needs to prove that hes qualified to coach one of the major franchises in nba I dont get it. Im still waiting for him to start lindsay hunter because he thinks that he matches up better with billups than rose or something. It should be a big deal when you change the starting lineup, bot because Javale McGee is coming to town. I wish bill simmons lived in chicago…he would definitely write about this every other week.
by rosefromconcrete on Dec 6, 2008 8:36 PM CST reply actions
Tyrus for 5 minutes is unacceptable. VDN come on. Noc is still playing terrible.
Larry is playing well … again. How many more of these games in a row does Larry have to play before we actually trust him? 16 points on just 9 shots in 14 minutes is very very efficient scoring. He’s also got 3 asts and 1 steal 0 turnovers and 0 fouls.

I'm waiting until the All-Star break.
If he’s still playing like this then, I’ll renege.

dont forget next year is a contract year for larry
so you know what that means…20-25 pts/game, 2 steals (but still playing terrible d), 4 a/g, 5 reb/game and 44% from the floor.
by rosefromconcrete on Dec 6, 2008 8:43 PM CST reply actions
they are passing the ball.. maybe they can develop good habits
how long would it last?
Ociepka just they demanded 4 passes before any shot.
So 19 assists or so is not a coinsidence.

one thing I like about noc is...
he gets his money’s worth on fouls and guys rarely get the continuation on him. I wish more guys did that.
wow Deng looks so good now... he's back!
by fundamentallysound on Dec 6, 2008 9:28 PM CST reply actions
Even I have to admit that Deng looked very good yesterday!!
He looked like a top 5 NBA small forward yesterday. Kudos to Luol for playing a pretty damn good game. Now I have ALWAYS asserted that Deng plays well when the game is fairly one sided in favor of either team and that was indeed that case despited the final score. But that’s because the Bulls played beautifully offensively yesterday. I still believe that Gordon has been playing second best on the Bulls this year and I still need to see Deng come up big when the outcome of the game is a bit more in doubt. If he continues to play anywhere near the level he played yesterday then I’ll be happy with him. Again though, great game by Luol Deng yesterday. It was good to see.

sure doing
great job of not putting them away
Larry Hughes is playing fantastic.
He really should get some credit for playing the way he is. Totally within the team framework. The only tough shots he’s taking is when we’re up against the clock. And he’s making plays on defense and in the passing game. Not sure he’ll keep it up, but it’s good to see.
Well."Fantastic" is too strong word probably.But yeah ,you're right.

VDN doe snot know that at the last 2 minutes
the refs allow more physical play. That is why when he goes small to close the game, the bulls tend to almost blow the games.
Wow VDN talking shit to KC?
"We have to play together and try to find the open shots. We used to play like this. We used to pass the ball three or four times before taking shots. Or we'd penetrate after two or three passes. Right now we shoot or try to go to the basket after the first pass. That's really tough."-Nocioni
So apparently
I heard Stacey King talking about how he was surprised JaVale McGee didn’t get any minutes.
You know your team sucks when the idiot announcing crew from the opposing team is smarter than your coach.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.

Good to see Javale do well;
gotta love the Chitown players.
The poster formerly known as Freethefro.
Man Drew Gooden reminds me of Marcus Fizer in some ways.
I feel like the Bulls have been rebuilding for like 10 years......... oh wait they have!
Gooden is the child of Fizer and Dave Corzine
He has that Dave Corzine whne trying to score inside and a mediocre jumpshot like Fizer. The sad part, he is our best big.
Didnt watch the game but after reading some of the comments here
Matts gonna have a doozy of a “i told you so” post afterwards…
Ben gordon with a massive play on both ends of the court
Luol Deng coming back to norm (i guess)
Nocioni sucking it up
Vinny playing nocioni in unorthodox minutes (he actually played at center?)
Drew Gooden thinking that drew gooden is an allstar (i saw a kg reference somewhere in the comments)
Hughes playing good within the system (so perfectly showcasing himself to the wizards which is good) and also showing signs of his old sucky self (which reminds us why we hate him and need him gone)
Yep, matts gonna have a field day, this might be his favorite game of the season so far, i hope he recorded it so he can give himself a pat on the back for being so accurate…..
( please dont ban me for my comments matt :/ )
;-)
On Behalf of Sue, Wjb, Bullshooter, and all the other Hinrich fans...Ill keep the Hinrich Hope coming...There will be light....
Holy freaking crap
I was at the game and I went totally apeshit when VDN substituted in Hughes and Noce for Gooden and Gray, thereby playing Noce at center. We were up 5 when the substitution was made, and after three possessions – easy Wiz bucket over Noce, awful miss on our end, easy Wiz bucket over Noce – we were up 1 and VDN called a timeout and fixed his lineup.
I went completely freaking nuts, and the poor 2-year old girl in front of me turned around and must have thought I was an alien. That had to be one of the worst substitutions an NBA coach has EVER made.
