Chicago Bulls at Cleveland Cavaliers, Jan 2, 2009 6:30 PM CST
I could not care any less about this game.
They're going to get creamed, and then Deng and Gooden's return will correlate with an easy home schedule stretch, and the Bulls will win 3 or 4 of the next 5, while Tyrus and Noah play 10 minutes a game in each. Success!

It would be amazing if the Bulls guards...

Rose drives, gets no calls.
Gordon is a complete mess when he drives and Hughes is too worried about getting his jumpshots in.

he drives in the like 3rd or 4th when he feels like he needs to try and take over
we need him to drive at the beginning and hopefully get them in foul trouble.

Someone mentioned NBA2K9 the other night
and if coaches weren’t so inherently useless in that game I would’ve fired Vinny before my association even started. I only wish you played the role of Owner instead of GM because Pax’s ass would be on the way out too.
by Protocol on Jan 2, 2009 7:08 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
ha
well in 2k9 you are the gm so i guess pax’s ass WAS fired, and you take over. And yea, in the offseason you can get some of the other coaches on your team. Ivaroni is surprisingly good. Yea but coaches dont really matter, i hope in the next one they give each coach more power over outcomes of the team….coaches are important, as we bulls fans can obviously tell.
On Behalf of Sue, Wjb, Bullshooter, and all the other Hinrich fans...Ill keep the Hinrich Hope coming...There will be light....

Why does Hughes give Noah the ball in horrible situations
I always see he has an easier pass to someone else but then every now and then he tries to force it for some reason.

has no in-game feel.. He has a plan and sticks with it regardless of how the player is playing. At the 4 min mark in the first bring in Noc, Hughes for Thabo, Tyrus. Thabo was playing well and he sits.

The biggest issue I have right now (off a long list)
Is VDN going away from something that is working. In this instance: He sits Thabo after a very hot and good start, 4-5 shooting, a steal and an assist in the first couple of minutes. And then he sits him?? How are they to maintain any kind of good play??
and then he starts garbage time early playing lindsay hunter and Cedric simmons in the middle of the 2nd q.
by BAB-Bass on Jan 2, 2009 7:56 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Yeah I can't get over that no matter how I look at it I don't understand what he was thinking

I mean how is it that we have played this team tougher the last two times. I mean Cavs needed Lebron to score 41 and now he has 10 pts and bulls are getting blown out.
Either the injuries mean a lot or VDN is a bad coach.

I think we need to start a movement to get Vinny fired.
And in order to get our point across, we’re going to need a catchy slogan. So i’m thinking: “Shave the hair!” So from now on if you go to a Bulls game hold up big signs featuring that. Loud chants work as well. Thought?

Norm Van Lier and Kendall Gill came correct on the post-game show
Hughes, Noah and Thomas are clowns and need to be shown the door. Norm went so far as to question what Noah is doing on a pro team. We can lose without them as well as we can with them. I’d take draft picks and cap relief at this point just to be rid of them. I want to believe that Noah and Tyrus will become something more than they are now, but it’s never going to happen.

This flip flop wastes time. It’s up to the organization to decide either “We have given up on these guys, and we are willing to give them away for whatever,” or “Fuck it these are our guys, we picked them, they WILL succeed eventually.” No decision has been made. Consequently, Vinny is coaching to keep his job (he’s doing a horrible job at impressing anyone in the league though), the players are all playing with their own agendas, and our #1 pick gets stuck with all the bullshit. It’s a crap franchise, and that sentiment starts at the top and trickles down.

no, he was fired
http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3167808
Then, the “Boylan” era!
The organization had SO much time to find a coach, blew it with D’Antoni, and then embarrassed themselves in pre-announcing Doug Collins, who shunned them as well. They never even interviewed Avery Johnson.
Instead, in the third biggest market in the country, and the most profitable team in the league, they hire a VDN, a guy with NO experience on any level of coaching. They had all that time from the moment Skiles was fired, the Boylan interim time, and beyond.
The fish stinks from the head down. As long as Reinsdorf is the owner, the Bulls, again, the most profitable team in the league, will never go into Luxury Tax for any player, regardless of the fact that the team from the third biggest market in the country is sinking into the third tier of teams, has been in a “rebuilding” phase since Jordan retired, have had a slew of draft choices, and like Rod Thorn, who had the “brilliance” to pick MJ third, after Hakeem, and Sam Bowie (ha-ha!), Paxson took Rose, via incredible luck in the lottery. Can you imagine if they didn’t luck out with that?
They’d be this team with yet another mediocre pick. But, alas, poor D-Rose can’t do it without some help up-front. We all know this, I won’t re-hash that here. Point is, there is only TWO ways that things can change:
1. The team is sold.
2. The fans stay away from the UC until they put a respectable team on the court.
Unfortunately, both of these scenarios seem highly unlikely. So, get used to the losing guys. It’s going to be a very LONG season. What will probably happen is that Reinsdorf will throw Paxson under the bus at some point, bring in a new GM, who will then promptly fire VDN, who can then apply at the local church league for future employment.
Damn! Embarrassing! To think, in the house that MJ built. This bunch of slackers should look up to the rafters some night, and remember what jersey they are wearing.

What had they show to deserve more money? Ok, maybe BG deserves what he wants, because he’s our second best player, but as far as I’m concern, the others shouldn’t receive anything. And they can be traded for snacks and chips…
I understand why people like Pax. He turned this team around when he came here, but he already proved that, without his friend Isiah Thomas, he can’t do nothing good. Picking Rose was not a big thing. That was the obvious choice. So, instead of criticizing VDN – despite the fact that he deserves to hear some bad things too -, people who go to the UC should be asking for Pax head. And as much loud as possible

The ship be sinkin'
CLEVELAND – The blowout losses and “ole” defenses are leading to slumped shoulders, long faces, sulking body language and, finally, simmering frustration bubbling over.
Andres Nocioni and Joakim Noah spent several minutes bickering on the court over a blown assignment during the third quarter of Friday night’s dreadful 117-92 loss to the Cavaliers. The players then continued shouting at each other during a subsequent timeout.
“We talked a bit,” Nocioni said in an angry Bulls locker room. “Frustration; that’s it. We don’t win. We don’t play good. It has to stop.”
Larry Hughes later played peacemaker, pulling Noah aside to try to calm him down.
“When you’re playing and losing by 20 points, you’re frustrated,” Noah said. "In the heat of the moment, things are said. But I don’t have any problems with ‘Noce.’ "

“Joey, I’m not sure if you know this, but Noc would kill and eat you if you really piss him off”.

Awesome!
‘’They have a lot of weapons,’’ Del Negro said. ‘’You have to put so much attention to LeBron. … And we’re not playing particularly well. We’re not healthy. We need to get our captains [Deng and Gooden] back on the court.’’
They have a lot of weapons? Um like Varejao and Ben Walace?
I’m sorry you put Lebron on the Bulls you would have a title team.
Take Lebron off Cleveland they might be the worst team in the league.
A lot of weapons?
Wow the Bulls have become the Clippers!

And the cavs didn't have Zydrunas Ilgauskas
I mean he would have dropped 50.
JJ Hickson dropped 13. He played all of 10 minutes in the 4 games prior.
Lorenzen Wright dropped 2 buckets. he played all of 4 minutes in the 4 games prior.
Season high in scoring for 4: JJ, LW, Anderson Varejao, and Big Ben
Career high for JJ and AV.
Cleveland has 2 other respectable players. Big Z (injured). Mo Will (2-9fg 11pts). Lebron had only 16. But the bulls still were absolutely embarrassed giving up 117.
VDN is a joke. He is the worst coach in the city including the upper tier high schools, college, and church league teams.

Kirk when he said they needed to get their captains back.

Varejao
is just totally unstoppable.
Look at that jumpshot! Those … tip-ins!
Those other tip-ins!
"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!"

Noah and TT lack the strength and size to box out,
while Gray lacks the speed.
The front court is so bad at this point, the Cows should play Ced Simmons and trade Hughes to the Whiz for Etan Thomas and junk. Thomas is a near scrub on the Whiz, but would likely be the best front court defender and rebounder on the Cows.

There is no lack of physical traits
The big guys are idiots on the defensive side of the ball. Tyrus is a good weak side helper, but that’s only if the other big man is actually good at his job. The Cavs don’t run the triangle, all they do is run tons of stuff out of the high post and use backdoor cuts and dribble penetration. Every game it looks like the Bulls have never seen this shit before.
Vinny Del Negro interviewed for the job today. I mean come on! Nobody else thinks this is nuts?
