Open Game Thread #1: Bulls vs. San Antonio Spurs

San Antonio Spurs at Chicago Bulls, Oct 29, 2009 7:00 PM CDT


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.

By the way, I guess Rose wasn’t really injured!

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

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   0 recs

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.

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'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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
