Stupid League Pass Broadband
blacked out again in freaking Iowa. Glad I just signed up for the free preview and have not paid any money (and won’t either).

Not worth it if you live in an area where Bulls are blacked out IMO.

Sometimes it takes 5-10 minutes into the game for anything to come up anywhere.
Refresh it now and then.

Salmons looks really unimpressive
I know it’s early but a deflected shot, he got ripped, it’s a rough start
Rose has all of our points?

No video might be a blessing tonight.
I’m watching V and looking at the box score.
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.
I'm a Brandon Jennings fan
You know how all those people, after the Ben Gordon goes to Detroit thing, said they’d stop being fans of the Bulls? Well, I haven’t exactly stopped, but my fandom’s a lot more … spread out, let’s say. I can appreciate the Bulls getting their heads caved in by the BJ stick.
…
I’ve been trying to avoid that for a while. ‘BJ’. Ugggh. lol
I support the Tornado Release [See: Joakim Noah]
LOL
I think since MJ left most fans of the Bulls have evolved into watching the Bulls…and another team. I usually try a west coast team so my loyalties are not terribly compromised. A few years ago it was the Suns or the Mavs. Now the Nuggets are fun.
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.
So I'm following the Bulls,
Thunder, Bucks, Rockets, and [vaguely] the Knicks.

I do have a morbid interest in the Knicks. Mostly just checking the players box scores after the game though.

I didn't even know about this blackout thing when I signed up
Do you know how many of these each team has per year? I was under the assumption I was getting 80 games.
I think the only games blacked out
are those that local cable has locked in in your area. You won’t see much of your local team on league pass but you can see pretty much anyone else. So as a Bulls fan in LA you shouldn’t have to worry about missing a lot of games.

Well Bull83
Salmons has about 3 t.o’s a airball, I think two bricks and Jennings has’t missed a shot yet. Brad Miller made a few buckets
Jennings is 4-6 according to ESPN
The Bucks took him out!

Why Roses passes to him in the first play
Everyones knows that he’s going to miss. He doesn’t know how to shoot the 3
Jannero Pargo = Larry Hughes 2.0
He was 8-20
last year. He can hit a wide open 3.
Every 10 games or so.

Yes, which is why it was a good pass.
Unfortunately, “he can hit a wide open 3” is not the same as “he will hit every wide open 3”

he needs to go into the lane everytime.

The injury seems to be fucking with Rose's mind
He’s just too tentative out there, probably because he knows he doesn’t have the extra explosiveness he has when he’s healthy. I’m not worried about him over the long term (he didn’t forget how to play over the offseason), but I’m very worried about him over the next month or two (or longer if he aggravates the injury).

The Game As Viewed Through The Lens of Bucks' Plus-Minus

Rest of Bucks Starters: same through osmosis
Luke Ridnour: -1
Dan Gadzuric: -1

we could get Melo?

Jennings has more self confidence, arrogance, aggressivness,
assertion, etc. Not more skill or tangibles, but all the other stuff. Derrick is too timid. Jennings is good, knows he’s good and has no problem telling people just how good he is.

I don't think Rose ever carried himself like Jennings.
Jennings had the swagger since day one, calling out Rubio on several occasions and talking trash at draft camps. That cockiness rubs some people the wrong way, but it’s a good thing more often than not.

You don't have to be a loud mouth to be a star
but you have to lay it all out on the court emotionally at least. Be a little selfish. Talk to your players and get them going. sigh The Bulls don’t like guys like that though. Unless they are semi-retired and ridiculous in the role.

Ridiculous.
Rose had games in which he’s looked very good. This injury he’s had is just making him very average. It doesn’t help that he’s deferring to the others.
I'm dead serious, I'm not trying to be hyperbolic or anything
but have you ever seen Rose play the point guard position like that? Seriously. To be a point guard you have to control pace get people shots, get your team in and out of sets. Rose is not good at any of those things. He’s still a spectacular player, but I’m beginning to wonder if he’s actually a point guard

You know,
chill. I was with you a second ago…but Jennings has jacked up quit a few bad shots, and none of the ones he’s made have been all that impressive – just very open, easy shots. He’s run the break nicely. But he’s also had his pocket picked. Rose is bigger, faster, stronger. He’s still got the higher ceiling. He’s just hurt…and this other guy’s a “true point” who jacks up 15 shots in a half.

The game is being shown as a free preview for those who have NBA-TV
I posted this as the last thread on the preview but I think the game had already started.
I have Dish Network. I don’t know if the other cable/satellite services are featuring this debacle.
Vinny finally has a chance to match wits with the Bulls former mentor, Scott Skiles. I haven’t decided which prefix is more suited to the skill set of our resident genius….Nit, Half or simply Dim.
He’s hoping to squeeze a big game from our reincarnation of Lou Gerhig tonight, especially since YFBB named Tyrus as potentially the NBA’s next Wally Pip. If Taj Mahal can excel beyond mediocrity, this would fulfill a wet dream for Vinny and management and probably earn them all a nice Christmas bonus for justifying the savings Tyrus’s demise will provide the suits. The only thorn they want to deal with is the one coming from Rose rather than the uppity trouble maker who refuses to let go of his delusional belief that he can actually contribute meaningful minutes in the 4th quarter of games.
Can someone tell me what the hell sets the Bulls are running tonight. Their 3 point shooting would emabarass a junior high team. Remember folks, this is a HOME game. Can you imagine what the circus trip is going to look like. Rose looks hopelessly lost. This has to be a result of his missing all that time with the injury, but what excuse do the rest have, other than they are being coached by a cretin?
If you can't answer a man's arguments, all is not lost. You can still call him vile names.

He very well may be
but as fans we can only judge the product that we see on the court. If he is still hurt, that is a horrible indictment of this franchise that they would risk his health at such an early point in the season. But since he is playing I will have to judge him as if he’s at full health.

The Bulls need to take Salmons out of the starting line-up and

I'd like to see Jennings vs Paul

Hey I know Paul is a great point guard, and I may be wrong
but I havent seen anything Paul can do that this kid cannot
how about lead a team to a 56 win season
average 20 and 10. lead the league in steals. Just to name a few
by Basketball Smurf on Nov 3, 2009 8:09 PM CST up reply actions
Listen.......All I'm saying is at the end of the day
The kid can do anything Paul can do. Only Jennings has a better jump shot. He gets alot of steals, he gets alot of assists, he is a problem and you can take that from a point guard! I’m waiting to see he and Paul go at it, I’m sure they’ll both get there’s.
Jennings' jump shot is and remains a giant red flag
I’m gonna give it until the Bucks have played 10 games to see if his jumper’s actually magically improved in the NBA.

Right, I have to see more too, but to bee a rookie point guard, go for 17 in game one, 24 game two
and play with this confidence is incredible!
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Calm down, man, calm down.
Jennings is good.
No, he’s not better than Chris Paul.
I support the Tornado Release [See: Joakim Noah]
I'm just saying, this kid can easilly pop a three off the dribble
I haven’t seen Paul shoot the rock like that, this kid has handles like Paul does, he is racking up assists playing with a bunch of average players, this kid is gonna be a star!
I hope this is some reverse ninja psychomacology
to show everyone how absurd they are for throwing Rose under the bus
seriously?
This kid has played 2 games and a quarter and you’re going to say he’s better than Chris Paul?
13 points on 11 shots.
3 assists, 2 turnovers.
And most of those makes were gimmes.

Jennings looks fine, but no better than Rose did last year or Rondo looked early in his career.
He’s pretty young still and I’d be excited as a Bucks fan since they got him with the 10th pick or whatever. He doesn’t utilize the screen too well and is a little sloppy with the ball. His shot looks good though.
Salmons is looking awful. He went from taking and missing good shots in previous games to turning the ball over and taking awful, Deng like shots.
Speaking of Deng, he’s actually looking better to me than in the first two games.
Taj got frustrated early, which is expected from a rookie guarding a bigger player, but it’s just more proof that he’s a dependable backup at best and in no way should VDN think of starting him over TT (like he seemed to at the end of preseason, obviously TT is out with flu tonight we believe).
Rose, ugh. Not happy at all about Rose on either end of the floor. The minor bright spots are that his ankle is not near 100% and he’ll come around very soon, and his jumper actually looks improved. Otherwise, he’s been very disappointing so far this season and especially in this game.
Jennings looks better than Rose did last season
He is aggressive and Rose simply is not. He has a better shot. He has a better handle. He doesn’t make lazy passes with frequency Rose does.

He got very careless a few times, particularly against Hinrich with the ball.
He also does not utilize a screen as well as Rose did last year. A few times he just tossed the ball to the center that was setting a pick at the top of the key.
