Open Game Thread / Game Preview #8: Bulls vs. Raptors

[Thanks to YaoPau for today's game preview -ed.]

Do you Noah good rebounder? I do.

pa-ching.

Maybe we should start calling it Cantada, because they can't rebound.

pa-ching.

Bosh does well at 11reb per 36, then it's Bargnani's 6.8, Turkoglu's 4.5, Jack's 3.0, Calderon's 2.8. When Taj Gibson would be your team's 2nd best rebounder, you better be awesome at everything else.

Star-divide

They are offensively: 1st in O-Rating so far. Their .591 TS% is ridiculous, and they're top-3 in threes per game, free throws per game, and fewest turnovers.  Lots of shooters, good passers, Turkoglu's been a nice fit.

Defensively, they're dead last. They ranked 22nd last year, and since lost Shawn Marion, Jamario Moon, Jermaine O'Neal and Anthony Parker, so it's likely not a fluke. They're bottom-3 in threes per game allowed, free throws per game allowed, and turnovers forced. It's like their defense is allowing it's own offensive gameplan. Weird team. Really weird.

Not surprisingly, they're 3-4 with a good win over Cleveland and a bad loss to Memphis. With all the 3pt shots taken in Raptors games and their overall averageness, game to game fluctuation will happen. Flip a coin for who wins tonight, especially with the Bulls in Toronto.

But our blueprint to victory involves controlling the glass. The Bulls are 6th in OREB%+DREB% at 1.034, while the Raptors are 27th at .957, and Reggie Evans is still out with a foot sprain.  I get worried whenever two evenly matched teams play and one has an enormous advantage in one factor - it's hard to match that advantage in reality.  But if we do, and the Raptors don't shoot lights out from 3, we should have this in the bag.

Few questions:

(1) Will the Bulls take advantage of Toronto's inability to guard the 3 and the paint?  (That involves taking shots in those two locations.)

(2) When Bargnani pulls Taj/Joakim away from the basket, will Deng help keep Bosh off the boards?  SFs have averaged almost 9rpg against Toronto this year, and Deng could be in line for a big boxscore.

(3) Is Rose healthy enough to penetrate consistently? With Calderon on him and Bargnani guarding the paint, this is the game to do it.

6pm start time on WCIU.

Points?

Will the Bulls finally score 100 tonight? Free bacon for the crowd!

"(1) Will the Bulls take advantage of Toronto's inability to guard the 3 and the paint?"

We miss threes open or guarded. I doubt our luck will change so more of the same from there. I am hoping a big night inside though. As bad as our team has been at threes I’d like to see guys get points in the paint just as much.

Nice preview

Although I think this game is way more in Toronto’s favor than you suggested. I’m sure statistically things are close, but as you pointed out, we suck in Toronto and from what I remember, we suck against Toronto period. We got spanked by them at home last year, in the last game of the season when we needed the game and they already had one foot on the beach. And that was a better, at least offensively, Bulls team.

With this being the second night of a back to back, and after an insanely competitive game in which all of our key players played huge minutes, I really doubt our ability to get a win. In fact, I think this will be the toughest game we’ve had so far other than the Boston game. And I didn’t even mention that the Raps lost their last game so they should be chomping at the bit to get this one.

True, but why did we suck against Toronto?

In the final game last year, Marion scored 34pts on 18 shots, just destroyed Salmons. They also crushed us on the glass (57-40). Bargnani didn’t play, they stayed big, and we countered by playing Tim Thomas and Linton Johnson a combined 23min at PF.

They beat us in OT in Chicago a month earlier, again outrebounding us (42-32). Noah only played 21min for some reason, and Bosh/Bargnani/Calderon dominated. But even so, we took them to OT.

Now we replace Gordon with Deng, and they replace Marion/Parker with Turkoglu/DeRozan/Jack. I think that’s advantage us, especially in turning rebounding from a loss to an easy win. If I had to guess, I’d say we still lose this game, but I don’t think we’re big underdogs.

I absolutely love Joakim Noah

but is anyone else concerned about his ability to maintain this level of play? It seems to me like this is a situation where the guy is playing with at least twice as much energy than anyone else on the floor. I really hope he can keep it up, but it seems like it would be near impossible.

He's young,

physically in shape, bigger (which means he can keep his spot with less effort than last year), and still has a unique build that sets him apart from his competition when it comes to speed. I think he can keep it up with perhaps a few games where he doesn’t make enough points to get a double double. The rebounding will be there. He gets a lot of offensive rebounds and the Bulls miss a lot of shots. Winning combo for Noah’s rebounding rate.

There are a few spots the Bulls can feast at.

Joakim could very easily have another 20 rebound game. Bosh, Bargnani and Turkoglu are all too weak to keep him off of the boards. Of course, if Vinny keeps playing him major minutes, he may be too tired to have too many more monster rebound games.
The other spot is PG. Derrick should be able to feast on Calderon, and though I don’t expect Derrick to be the superstar that some think he will be, I still hope and pray that he will be that player one day and tonight would be a great spot to start. He’s bigger, quicker, faster, stronger and should be able to get off any shot he wants. Here’s to another strong game for Derrick.
Salmons should also be able to score on Turkoglu, as Hedo is too slow to defend Salmons excellent first step.

Until he grows some balls

and attacks the rim with regularity, nothing is going to change. One play about two minutes back he had the entire right side to himself and Jarret Jack, but he threw it across to Luol. There’s no reason he shouldn’t have gone right at Jack for the layup and/or foul.

What are so bad with his rotation tonight?

People need to rest, and unfortunately, Pargo will have to be put in for a couple of minutes. I like Brad Miller coming off the bench in his minutes. The only gripe I can see is Salmons getting a lot of burn, but there’s no one else really.

by NittanyCub on Nov 11, 2009 7:12 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

It's not really his fault,

his team only goes 7 deep. After Kirk and Miller, the bench guys are JJ, Pargo, Lindsey and Gray.

pace is all to toronto's liking but that's what vinny and the bulls want too

terribly sleepy looking first quarter from everyone except taj (who was still getting burned on defense). but they picked up the interior d nicely and really went nuts the last 6 or 7 minutes of the half.

toronto seemed really focused at first on dealing with noah, but then they lost it (or noah’s energy triumphed).

I thought this was more of Chicago's style. With Noah locking Bosh up, the double isn't needed

which leads to less open three pointers to be attempted! Plus the Bulls realise the Raptors are weak inside and are attacking more.
