Game Preview / Open Game Thread #39: Bulls at Toronto Raptors

Print[Thanks to Goostafer for today's preview -ed.]
Tonight's game with the Toronto Raptors is probably going to frustrate a lot of us here at BlogABull. Recently Andrea Bargnani has been living up to the hype that got him drafted #1 overall just two years ago. Averaging Almost 20 and 7 in his last 8 games since taking over the Center position when Jermaine O'Neal went down. He is taking some of the pressure off of Chris Bosh. This team reminds me slightly of the Chicago Bulls. Two years ago, when the Bulls won 49 games, the Raptors won 47 and were 1st in the Atlantic Division. Then last year they regressed, as did the Bulls, and finished with a 41-41 record. Much better than Chicago's complete 180 of 33-49. Now this year both teams have a virtually identical record with Chicago having just lost one less game. Probably because the Bulls have played one less game. Both teams have new coaches, even though one has actually coached before and the other is busy making pretend to know what he's doing.
I don't want to turn this preview into a trade talk, but tonight the Bulls might be able to "Showcase" Nocioni and maybe even Kirk and Hughes as there have been rumors of an O'Neal for Noc + Fillers Swap. Maybe they'll play well enough for a trade to happen sooner than later....
While the Bulls welcomed back Luol Deng and Kirk Hinrich, they will be without Drew Gooden (groin,ankle). Noah will replace him in the starting lineup and will be joined by Luol Deng after just one game back sending Thabo back to the bench, where he belongs. Now that's a lineup I can get used to.
Rose/Gordon/Deng/Tyrus/Noah.
The Raptors will again be without Jose Calderon and Jermaine O'Neal.
And it's good too see that Vinny is focusing on the good news instead of his sucky performance as a coach.
"It's good to have Kirk and Luol back," said Del Negro, now faced with the task of splitting up playing time between 11 healthy players averaging 15 minutes or more. "Now we have to work on our rotation, our minutes and our practice time and get back on track. ... You hope it will affect the team well, but you don't know.
Idiot.
-
I don't ask for much. Here are a few things I'm hoping to see in tonight's game:
Effort from everyone on the court wearing a Bulls Jersey, win or lose.
Rose taking it to the line.
Deng playing like he's expected to play.
A strong start AND an strong finish.
Jamario Moon not having a career game.
Will Solomon not having a career game.
Tyrus playing at least 30 mins.
And the obligatory – Less Hughes. Less Gray.
Hopefully Kirk and Deng are healthy enough to help this team get out of the nasty funk they are in at the moment. And I think the Raptors are a good help. Although I have a feeling that Bosh and Bargnani will kill our front court.
Enjoy the game!
Go Bulls!

you HAVE to double team Ben Wallace with your best defenders. Obviously.

They should at least make him a 6th man.
Making a mockery of him as a starter is worse than bringing him off the bench.
Although Hinrich will probably be starting in no less than 5 games.

That's a funny comment...
But really, the worst part is, it’s not supposed to be his strong suit. He’s supposed to be a communicator and motivator… I would be happy if I was seeing that… instead he keeps trying to convince people he can coach. I hate that, just do what you were hired for and let Del and Bernie handle the rest.
It’s like Tyrus trying to prove he can hit the 18 foot jumper, when everybody in Chicago begs him to stay by the hoop and catch ally oops and rebounds.

sucks that it takes an injury for this to happen
When I watch NBA games I often call the fouls before the referees do. Sometimes it’s a gift. Most of the time it's troublesome. - NBA Observer
Absolutely right
So obvious who needs to be getting the playing time game in game out. Noah is nice and active floating around, not being a Gooden-black hole.
I'm no commie, but the Reds shall be the best again!
Nice screen
for Hinrich right there. Wow VDN is an idiot.
I'm no commie, but the Reds shall be the best again!
What an great first quarter so far.
This lineup has been ideal. Props to VDN, even if i’m suspect of you.
Thomas and Noah are playing well together. Deng and Hinrich have fit in perfectly. We can wait for Ben to heat up. Rose is playing PG
Passing is great and nobodies playing selfish.
Let’s see how this continues.
Not gonna lie
I really could live with a backcourt rotation of Rose/BG/Kirk…

well, he put BG back in
so maybe he didn’t demoralize him for the season…..yet. :)

But it's about the disrespect.
Although Hinrich does look really good. Tons of injury. Might as well just start a three guard lineup. You don’t lose anything going from Deng to Gordon at the 3 spot. And that’s not a praise on BG’s small forward defense.

yes we'd be so much better off with out Deng's
6pts 5boards 1ast 1stl…his 1to killed us
If Deng is back.
Then he deserves to start, and get praised. But based on his performance over the past season and a half, it’s going to take more than 9 minutes to convince me that Deng’s back. Toronto’s a horrible defensive team, and it’s showing.

just seems like a good time to
withhold the bashing. Not saying we should name him team MVP or anything
Amazing how much better the offense is
when none of our black holes (gooden, noc, hughes) are in the game

I wouldn't call Nocioni a black hole.
He shoots too much. More like a… I don’t know, what sucks things in and spits back out faster than they came in? A vortex? I don’t know. I’m not smart.

I should have said "black holes/chuckers"

very nice game so far
the Raps may have an even worse defense than the Bulls. Plus on offense they’re missing Calderon.

I’ll enjoy it for now, until it’s Noc time.

Our team looks good with Kirk on it....
I still want to trade him, cause he makes to much to be a back-up, and he isn’t a long term answer at shooting guard, and he disrupt many of our 2010 plans…
But, I’m going to enjoy watching him play until February. Or the offseason.

Our team looks good with Hinrich
because as soon as he catches the ball he passes it or shoots it. If Ben did the same we could look even better.
by Juiceboxjerry on Jan 14, 2009 6:37 PM CST up reply actions
He has to be raising his value rapidly.
Put Kirk with Gooden’s expiring contract and one of the young bigs, and that might be enough to get Carlos Boozer.
This play from Hinrich is great.

That'd be fine with me...
But if he makes to much to be a backup point guard here, and we don’t think he can play SG well, then what would he do in Utah?

and until we can find something better, i guess we can live with Noah coming off the bench

If Noah was the original starter and went out with injury and th Bulls started this well w/ Gooden subbing in, he’d be starting the next game. Think that will be the case for Noah?

Noah’s been more productive than Noc on offense and he and TT play less combined than Noc

Noah didnt play when Bosh was out
and he has fouls

Noc is a "high level player"
and “glue guy” according to Raps announcers.
Hope B. Colangelo feels the same!!!
its almost like
someone in the bulls camp payed them to shower noc with compliments. if they call hughes a great role player, i will certainly be suspicious
At least Larry Hughes isn't overrated
im sure the announcers and the coaching staff talk together and share an opinion.....
which means they have a crush on Noc!!!
good for us!

Correlation does not necessarily equal causation,
BUT in this case we’ll be better even if it doesn’t make Rose immediately great.
I agree, though. Let’s pawn off all our problems on someone else. We can trade Hughes/Gooden and someone else for Jermaine O’Neil or something. We’ll need some one-year contracts for cap space for Gordon then, though.

Glad we got the win
But I was so frustrated when Noc and Lu were in-inexplicably playing the 4 and 5 respectively on defense. Really!?!?! Thats our defensive unit in crunch time?!?!?!? My wife asked for an explanation. I recently have been teaching her about the game and explained the positions basically 1-5. I told her that the coach was taking a 3 and playing them at 4 and 5 (noc and Lu). My wife even knew this was a stupid thing to do defensively witht eh limited basketball knowledge she has.
