82games.com has the 09/10 season pages up now

Something positive for the Ty fans - he has the second highest Roland Rating of the team right now, barely trailing Brad.

(Of course, that probably just makes it all the worse that he's out now, right?)

His raw +/- is out of this world. Which is further evidence that Taj sucks, since he's TT's primary replacement.

His on/off net is +12, and Taj's is 0.

Couple things stick out to me

1) Obviously, having 72% of our shots be jumpshots is astronomical. Considering we’re hitting them at a .380 eFG% it makes me want to punch whoever designs plays.

2) But the weirder issue is this eFG% by shot clock. 37% of our attempts come in the first 10 seconds of the shotclock, and our eFG% on those shots is 40.9%. That’s INSANE. Since fast break points are always in the first 10 seconds, that eFG% is skewed up to around 55-60% for most teams, and then falls off from there as the shotclock winds down.

But the Bulls, somehow, are settling for inefficient shots in the first 10 seconds of the clock. “16 seconds left on the shotclock, and all we’ve got is an 18ft jumper? Logic would say reset the offense to try for a higher percentage shot, but… Fuck it, we’re shooting!! LETS RUN!!”

i noticed against the cavs

in particular, the number of ridiculous early in the shot clock rushed jumpers we took..

I trust you have heard Vinny on the sidelines coaching...

“RUN”

Why isn't your friendly Bulls Blogger friendly?

I think Vinny missed the part in Phoenix where they either run to the 3 point line

or dive to the basket for a layup or dunk. He seems to think that simply getting lots of shots up (of any type) is a good thing, when it’s clearly not.

Nearly all the guys are way up for jump shots compared to inside shots so far this season

John, last season 73% were jumpers, this season 83%.
Derrick – 60% last year, 69% this.
Lu is up from 66% to 76%.
Tyrus – 55% to 63%.
Brad – 54% to 69%.
Even Jo, 6% to 32%.

Kirk’s the only guy who’s dropped in percentage of jump shots – but (1) that’s only from 89% to 85%, and (2) we kind of need him, of all people, to be actually be taking more 3s (assuming he can start hitting at a better rate, of course).

Holy crap that's bad. Especially since most of those jumpers are 2pters.

With Derrick I can see it, because he’s injured, so he’s driving less frequently, but Tyrus, Lu, Brad, and Joakim don’t need to shooting even more jumpers. Unless it’s a corner 3 for Brad or Lu.
