Game Thread? Rockets @ Bulls

PrintUhhhh, Matt probably went on a Christian Bale rampage in honor of our fallen Bulls legends.
Rockets are 7-0 without McGrady, made LeBron James look like steaming garbage on Thursday night, and now get to play with the bipolar Bulls. Yao Ming isn't a scrub, but he could score 80 points tonight. Ron Artest will drink the blood of Luol Deng. Shane Battier won't do anything, but he's intangible so it won't matter.
Final Score: Rockets 110-Bulls 5.

This whole post is about 5 sentences in length, but it's all
grade-A quality. Hilarious stuff, Ozzie
Because they stink.
Luol came from the opposite side to help. Even I knew that was a bad idea.
I thought the random doubles would end when Nocioni left.
But Deng is just sucking overall tonight.

Rose did the same thing last night
It’s a good concept if the other 3 guys didn’t just stand there. If no one rotates, then it’s pointless to double.

I'm in the library
And even if I was at home, Comcast doesn’t give WGN for State College(at least not for the standard package).
What’s nice though— and you’ll probably get a kick out of this— is when the Cubs play at Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. Both are covered on TV at Penn State. Horray Pennsylvania!
on a scale of 1 to 10
what is the general interest level of the Sixers, by Pennsylvanians?
Bosh in 2010
To echo Red,
Artest may go on a mega-point-cycle tonight.
I'm so afraid of this Rockets lineup
They should have bought out McGrady.
Confusion breeds success. If they don't know each other, opponents can't have strategy. GENIUS.
Luol Deng is so bad right now
Confusion breeds success. If they don't know each other, opponents can't have strategy. GENIUS.
Tyrus Thomas completely forgets the concept of passing
when he busts at least one move when he’s man-to-man.
It's hard to pass when
everyone just stands and watches, or cuts to the same spot.
Deng sucks.
To illustrate how bad his deal is: Luis Scola, in just a few minutes, made a nicer move than Luol has all season long. Why the hell can’t someone his size post up smaller players and score with hand? WHY?

Another question:
Why does Vinny chose to run our offense through Joakim NOah? He makes a nice pass here and there, but really?
Because Gordon, Rose, and in theory Deng are all excellent at moving without the ball
And he’s an underrated passer.

He often holds the ball in the same spot for 4-5 seconds,
only to give it up to Luol.

I see his jersey number
and think Cedric Simmons is out on the floor, or Ron Artest.
So it’s still in the awkward phase right now, like the new kid in school who’s also better than Luol Deng (if that makes sense).

Not a huge Deng fan
But, yes it does make sense. This is just something that I find interesting for a number of reasons.
1) a fan of this blog and the rampant cynicism/anger that permeates the halls
2) I had soured on Miller because of the way he’s playing—I don’t think it’s magic he’s playing much better now that he’s surrounded with athletic players who complement him
3) I’m curious to see how the Gordonites deal with Gordon not likely to be around after April

Impressive so far
Shot selection is good, aggressive on defense, basically the player Larry Hughes is once a month. I don’t like him and Gordon playing together, but whatever.

It's like a biddy league,
where every player needs to get his turn and sportsmanship rules all.
Lik,really
Who says your best players can’t play the whole first quarter. O and I think I just heard then announce Tim Thomas in the game.
why is it
every game lately I’ve thought about the team we’re playing, “why can’t I be a fan of this team?”
Us fans have been saying this all damn season...
Everybody plays equal minutes. How can you get in a rythm. Paxson is a dumbass for this hire. Lol
I think i'll watch until halftime
Then decide what to do. But I want to see Rose and TT. Take Hinrich and Timmy out of there
Rose needs to start playing
like a Rookie of the Year player again…for the sake of the sanity of every Bulls fan.

about he can guard 4 spots at any given time.

I really hope they can find deals for HInirch and Deng this summer.
VDN needs to stick with
Noah/Miller/TyrusThomas/Salmons/ Bg/Rose/Sometimes Kirk thats your seven man rotation.
Bench Deng. Tim Thomas is getting way too many minutes.
Pool and a pond... Pond be good for you.
Can someone explain this phenomenon to me???
Why is it that NO ONE on this team passes the ball to Derrick Rose?? Not when he’s open, not when they’re double-teamed, not on a fast break, not in our crappy offense, not ever unless it’s an inbounds pass. Other than that, no one even LOOKS to pass the ball to him. Especially Ben Gordon, I don’t even remember him passing the ball to Derrick in the last 5 games. WTF?

He usually makes them at a decent clip
People do shoot jumpshots in the NBA. No one attacks the paint non-stop, it’s a recipe for disaster, especially a guy as small as Rose. The bigger concern is how Deng doesn’t attack the rim at all.

Well Deng sucks, that's why nobody's talking about him
but Rose is actually good. I know he can hit the jumper, but he’s taking way too many. He rarely drives to the basket and has shown no ability to get to the free throw line. Just look at Russell Westbrook, another rookie, the guy is relentless at going to the basket and he’ getting to the line all the time. It’s the same with all great players.

Gordon has to get himself involved in the game here
Houston can just shut the door early on with Yao and Scola

Where's Rose's aggressive play?
First half of the season Rose was attacking his man at will. Now its just hand it to a team mate and hope he gets the ball back which doesnt happened. The things are apnning out the ROY will probably go to Westbrook, the guy is consistent with his scoring.
He's had rough stretches already
They’re not always “the wall.” He’s a rookie, it’s not going to be pretty all the time.

I've never seen such horrible perimeter defense
The Rockets are 9-22 from there. I don’t know if it’s because they’re able to rotate the ball so effectively, or if the Bulls are just so inept in guarding the man outside. Probably a little bit of both
How do the Rockets make 3's with like people in their face yet Hinrich
can’t make a wide open 3?

he was in Minnesota because he would not take over. He is unselfish. He wins in other ways. He almost has a triple double.

Because we bench Gordon for Hinrich, and then delegate some of Rose's PG duties to Hinrich.

haha gordon slapping his ass after scoring!!
what a great comeback!!!!! Bulls Basketball! I almost expect john Paxson come in for the final shot!
Should we be happy?
i mean, I want us to win, but after three awful quarters, should we be happy with this? We know that this shit will happen on the next game…
As long as someone calls Pax
And explains that Vinny coached the game horribly, but Rose/Gordon bailed him out, then a win should be good.

Del Nigro take note!
Give Rose the keys from the start so he can be aggressive.
Why not call a timeout?
They can come up with a play, its a pretty important situation, and they have 2 left.
They just had a timeout.
And it’s not like they called a play. It was a simple iso for Derrick
I hate VDN's timeouts.
Why couldn’t he have given them the play during the timeout before Houston’s possession.
I'm with ya

And can we please stop playing Miller and Noah at the same time? Noah needs to stick to one position if he’s going to continue to improve.

Playing Time
For our young players to play well they need alot of time on court. Rose didnt come off in the second half AND Tyrus & Noah with good playing time Equals a chance to win a game.
Hopefully Vinny's love affair with "Kurt"
and the newcomers has come to an end. Use the bench for what it’s supposed to be there for: to spell your better players until they recharge and then put them back in.
And so we feel good again...
WIN=HAPPY

Artest was ridiculous tonight, in a good way
He manhandled any Bulls player that was on him. The only thing that he didn’t do right tonight, basically, was not get that 3-pointer at the end.
And why do Portlanders find it necessary to thank us? We’ll be sure to deliver the good message at the Bulls front office, stat, fine sir.
yeah
but his possessions were killing ball movement and team fluidity. He wasn’t giving it to Yao, who should have dominated Miller.

Yao didn't get a single touch in the 4th
Or only a few, at best. Brooks and Artest were retarded.

I thought
this great analysis by ESPN was pretty funny:
[Rose] is nearly impossibly to stay in front of on the offensive end, and he’s a scrappy defender
Scrappy defender! Like Nocioni! Like Hinrich!

nah
he’s busy trying to acquire more Euros… I would love Hinrich at four million a year. His contract is just so bad.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see him make a play for Rubio… cash in two or three assets.

Interesting, that would be a tough one to pull off though

We got the seventh pick in a cash dump in 2007
I would think we’d have to get a 5-8ish pick through taking on a bloated salary, then trade that pick up to a top 3 by throwing in young players.
Memphis tried to give us the fifth pick last year in a salary dump. It was Outlaw, Lafrentz, and #13 for #5 and crap contracts.

I do agree with this
Outlaw and Blake are worse, but their contracts are less than half of Deng and Hinrich.
Outlaw is much worse defensively, though. Very similar on the offensive end, with a better three point shot.

On the halftime show. Pax was asked by Steve Kashul about Derrick Rose being...
left out of the 4th quarter and Pax told him that he “talked to Vinny” about it.
Basically……Vinny don’t fuck with Rose.
That is the ONLY reason why Rose played tonight. Pax talked to Vinny about it.
Yea, I just heard that too
I wish I heard the actual interview. Good news though.

Conversation probably went something like this:
Pax: “Are you trying to fucking kill me?!!”
Vinny: “No boss.”
Pax: “Then why are you sitting our best player in crunch time?”
Vinny: “Um, don’t know boss.”
Pax: “Well fucking stop doing that!!!”
