I'll be at the UC, probably tweeting. Perhaps a lot.
I don't know what to expect in terms of comment load tonight (could be big: opening night + TNT), but to play things somewhat safe I'll launch an overflow comment thread every hour and a half.

Go Bulls!
Key to the game: Tyrus Thomas. Dominate Bonner! Crush him on the glass!

Dejaun Blair is going to make Taj Gibson his bitch
and I don’t have a good feeling about this game…
i think he is and i bet he only plays like 20 minutes
i really don’t have a good feeling abou his injury
they sy i keeps swelling up. This has been going on for weeks.

I read 20 minutes too.
I just hope he doesn’t over do it.

I kinda liked Barkleys analysis of the BG situation
They weren’t a contender with him, so they need to find the other guy to put with Rose that makes em a contender. Simple but true
"That's a spicy meatball-a!" - Vinny Del Negro
yea that was a surprisingly unhorrible comment by him
maybe he’s stepping it up because mchale’s there?
by Daniel Satan on Oct 29, 2009 7:26 PM CDT up reply actions
I guess the argument is
why keep the other two stiffs either? BG was working great with Rose. If you need to get rid of him there is still a list of guys to off.

why the f_ck does tyrus need to do that??
what does that accomplish other than helping him lose his starting spot to a rookie?
I'm not convinced
that Tyrus isn’t clinically retarded. I love the guy, but sometimes he makes the dumbest possible decisions..
The Bulls are very jump shooty thus far and the shots aren't falling.

Tyrus played stupid early on. No reason to leave him out there when he's being an idiot.
And I’m generally on the Tyrus over Taj bandwagon.

The Bulls offense lacks a really good scorer
Salmons isn’t the answer, Deng and Tyrus aren’t the answer Noah isn’t the answer. Honestly Rose isn’t the answer. The Bulls need someone who when they need buckets this guy will get them for you, we have to see who that will be. My money’s on that really big excellent white guy from named Grey!
I really love Brad Miller.

There was no excuse to not take Dujan Blair in that draft
What is Blair gonna give you defense?
20 points a game? He’s got terrible knees, if he goes 3 good years it will be surprising, plus he’s short for his position!
No way, JJ can breakdance and he's a karate master
You see what that did for the brother who makes karate workout videos, and he’s like 62.
Defensive rebounding is a huge part of defense and he's already one of the best in the league
at defensive rebounding.

Yeesh, awkward drive.
Note to players, Duncan can still defend.

Derrick can't play

D. Rose needs to take it to the rack.
And Pargo needs to never, ever, ever play.

Judging from his excerpts, it's nothing new that you couldn't piece together from other great books.

i plan on it... i've read some of the excerpts on ESPN.com and i've found every one of them entertaining
700 pages is ridiculous, but the way he writes, it’s not a book that needs to be taken in all at once. you can put it by the can and read a couple pages every morning and be nicely entertained i think
by Daniel Satan on Oct 29, 2009 8:27 PM CDT up reply actions
I'm about halfway through it
It’s basically the exact same as his columns, to the point that there are portions of it copied and pasted directly from old columns. I enjoy his NBA writing, so I’m enjoying the book, but YMMV.
win or lose
ive been inspired to buy league pass to watch the bulls!

Paul will ensure 40 wins
Or at least as much as the Heat. They might not make the playoffs, but they’ll be better than 25.

I don’t think they will be great but 25 is a tad low

Um, no.
The Kings and Warriors are 25 win teams. The Hornets have a top 5 player in his prime.

Meh, he got a double-double in 22 minutes last night.
People were going overboard with the Blair hype in the preseason, but he’s going to be very serviceable.

What do you guys expect Blair to do?
I still haven’t figured that out yet. Is he gona grab 10 boards every night, post up bigger players, throw down monster two hand dunks like he’s got good knees! The guys 6 foot 6 260 pounds and got knees like Neil Funk!
monster dunks are overrated,,,
does paul millsap deliver monster dunks? you’ve watched too much tyrus
by Daniel Satan on Oct 29, 2009 8:32 PM CDT up reply actions
So you are saying his knees
made him suck in college and the preseason? Because that just isn’t the case. He might have some date in the future where they are going to screw him over, but until then they haven’t hurt him. And that time might be years from now.
Everything I post is speculation. I have no insider information nor ideas deemed concrete enough by those who are self-elected to regulate post content.
College and NBA are different
the preseason and regular season are different. Blair isn’t gonna be great player. He was walking with a limp after the game last night!
He's gonna be better in those 3 years
that his knees are good than Taj will ever be.
Things could be worse. We could have kept Boylan.
by stupidgenius on Oct 29, 2009 8:37 PM CDT up reply actions
Taj has outplayed Blair in the match up
Including Taj board over Blair and getting the and 1 foul. Blair isn’t as athletic, isn’t as mobile, cannot shoot as well, cannot defend, they board about even, but Taj is better
these bulls are looking pretty good.
say what you will about salmons crappy night so far, or pargos excellent golf playing skills (i feel like thats better than saying horrible horrible shooting), or Tyrus still not getting the fact that he shouldn’t be a jump shooter…its been a great night!
having the lead against the spurs after the half is an accomplishment in of itself.
These guys sure make it interesting, don't they?
They’re playing hard. Skiles would be proud.
I still think Derrick needs to be a bit more aggressive. I know about the ankle and all but he looks good
killing my fantasy team right now

I think he's pretty out of condition right now.
If he drops 20/6/6 I’d be pretty stoked. There have been a few times when he could have blown by his man but just didn’t have the juice.
Overall, though, I’m impressed.

to answer your question, though,
I don’t.

That would rock.
But I’ll settle for ending tonight with a healthy Derrick and a Bulls win.

If they keep him on the bike or something he'll be fine.
He says he stiffens up pretty easy if he doesn’t stay active. I hope someone has the sense not to let him cool down in the locker room.

Opinions on those new different camera angles
They usually have that one ‘Baseline’ view and thats about it. Now theyve added new ones. Personally, I’m not a fan of the behind the basket one but I really like that corner one. It gives it an ‘actually at the game’ feeling.
