Open Game Thread and Preview #66 - Chicago Bulls at Philadelphia 76ers

Print[Note by your friendly BullsBlogger, 03/13/09 5:55 PM CDT: I'll keep this as the game thread, new thread at 8:15 -ed. ]
At this point in the season, what is there to say about this team that we don’t already know? The Bulls show signs of improvement and get our hopes up, and then let us down by giving us a few losses in a row. But, in the end, I would prefer a playoff run rather than another lottery pick. There is no way the Bulls get lucky two years in a row in the lottery and get a whack at some premier talent. Plus, this organization has shown that while it drafts well, gets strong talent, they never seem to get great all-around talent. Gordon, Deng, Tyrus, Noah; they are all talented players, but also niche players. Gordon can score at will and not much else. Deng is good running the court and slashing, but not much else. Tyrus is probably the player with the highest ceiling for potential, but even his game is geared around cleaning up on the boards and playing help defense with an occasional spot-up jumper, but not much else. Noah can rebound with some of the best, but not much else. I believe this team would benefit from some playoff experience, especially D-Rose. I’m not drawing comparisons, but our homeboy D-Wade down here in Miami started to make his name in the playoffs his rookie season. He almost single-handedly defeated the Hornets (including two game-winners), and then almost forced a Game 7 against Indy in Round 2 if it wasn’t for Stan "Ron Jeremy" Van Gundy sitting him for the final possession after he scored 10 straight points in the 4th quarter (with a couple of those coming against Ron Artest). Again, no comparison, but D-Rose has shown when he is given the keys to the offense in the 4th, he can win a game for the team. I still believe of the 8 thru 13 teams in the East the Bulls would give Cleveland some problems, while Boston would probably just suffocate the Bulls. So that would be my dream first round playoff match-up: Bulls vs. Cavs.
On to the game… as much hubbub as was made about the 76ers being better without Elton Brand, they have the same winning percentage since his season was officially over as before: .500. And while I do somewhat believe the first half of the season showed that it was an odd singing given the 76ers style of play without Brand, I do believe management in Philly had the right idea and they will miss him late in the season when the games slow down, defenses are tighter, and easy buckets are harder to come by. The Bulls enter this game 10-25 on the road, and Philly is actually a respectable 18-14 at home. However, this year’s Bulls have shown they rarely have two bad games in a row. So, discounting Monday’s heartbreaker (and the best basketball game I have ever attended, despite the loss, I might add) which was hard-fought, the Bulls should bounce back tonight. The 8 thru 13 teams are separated by a measly 1 ½ games. The Bulls need every win they can get from here on out. Hopefully, they are aware of this and begin to play with some fire and poise and make a run here in the last month of the season.

I really havent been that impressed by D rose this year
might be a product of the coaching and what not but im hoping he proves me wrong.
I want this team to be good more then anything :(
V.ery D.elusional N.incompoop
Until I think of something better :D
Not impressed, huh?
Yeh I’m not impressed by a rookie that stepped in and led the team from day one for a shitty coach and is still averaging 16 pts and 6 rebs on 45% shooting. Yeh rookies come in and do that all the time. Sure. Of course I wish Derrick would try harder on D but he’s been way better than I expected.
Even Deron W only averaged like 10/6 his first year. People’s expectations of D Rose ballooned after the first couple months where he was dominating games.
He will be an Allstar in two years guaranteed once he picks his D up to at least “ok” status.

Right, the only fair evaluations of Rose are in the context of the overall team,
which is much less than it could be.

i can’t wait until he hits the weights this summer
thomas
better bring his a game on defense. letting young get 20 rebounds and putbacks and losing him on defense will do no good.
Nice to have a solid start tonight
Need to keep it up, obviously, but it beats these fall-behind first quarters we’ve been seeing lately

id like to see him develop being a pg in the offseason also
rarely does he creat shots.
His assists are 5 ft pass from the top of the key to jump shots.
V.ery D.elusional N.incompoop

Run an offense around his strengths (dribble penetration)
instead of one where he brings the ball up, stands at the top of the key and dumps it to the wing. Then you’ll see the assists go up.
Thats all im saying
not saying hes doing something terrible. He just doesnt ever dribble penetrate…just 5 foot top of the key pass.

As long as TT knows where his base is which is starting out hustling and beingt aggresive
he’ll find out that the rest of his game will fall into place. He’s got 5 points and 5 rebs just being active
Anyone ever noticed how the bulls are seriously bad passers?
They try to do big boy nba passes inside the the basket and blow it 98.5% of the time.

i mean granted we aren’t a great team, but we are up by 2. I would hate to see you on here on Wednesday night. This isn’t one of our worst games by any stretch. If it wasn’t miller shooting that shot Gooden would have put up 10 of them already.

He's not tonight
But he’s been shooting really well since the ASB. I think he just got a little excited after he hit his first two and kept shooting.
Man-slave, bring me my PB&J!
I am not ripping on Kirk.
Just explaining why he is wide open. They’ll start guarding him again once he can prove he will hit. Same reason Tyrus is often open out there. It isn’t because they are defensively forgetful.

I agree to a degree, I've been really hard on Rose, too. But Hinrich is no better.
I’d like to see him get to the line more, play better defense. The assist numbers are the least of my concern, because it, to me, is more a function of the offense or lack thereof than Rose’s innate ability.

I just think that the way Hinrich darts in an out of the line
and sets up the offense is a skill that I would like to see Rose improve greatly at. Even though Hinrich suffers when it comes to finishing plays via a pass or shot, I think he really excels at running a team. He shows a lot of confidence in his knowledge of an NBA offense

Rose has a better TS% and Assist Rate, all in a playground offense. Sloan is probably the best coach in the NBA for a PG. Then again, Deron has Boozer, AK47, Ronnie Brewer……even if Rose is to improve, the team around him doesn’t inspire much confidence.

Every rookie pg in NBA history has struggled...
including Paul, Stockton, Deron, etc. Those struggles get highlighted more than some due to circumstances (i.e. horrible coaches, bad teammates, veteran playing in front, etc.). Paul struggled (and still struggles) with man to man D against quick guards, just like every other guard in the league.
Rose’s problem is that A) the offense is tailored to his playmaking ability, mostly due to the fact that so many other guys need the ball to be effective (and once again, horrible coaching) and B) the Bulls don’t have a lot of finishers. Hinrich isn’t a finisher (when he gets the ball he usually restarts the offense instead of shooting), BG isn’t a finisher unless he’s open, Salmons is a one on one player, and Noah and Tyrus are slowly getting better at finishing inside.
Rose will be alright with better coaching and better finishers.

who’d have thought we’d be seeing Thomas to Thomas?
Man-slave, bring me my PB&J!
I dont care if we suck, i dont care if we dont play up to potential.
But damn if im ok with seeing little improvement in this team. Noah has improved thats all ive seen in a seasons worth of basketball.
Plz prove me wrong bulls.

Finally, a 3 from Tim Thomas
Rose takes it to the hoop and there’s 3 defenders waiting for him, yet I didn’t see a single wide open shooter on the floor. That’s garbage from his teammates.

Not such a hot second quarter there.
Another 5 TOs, shooting percentage dropping while Philly’s is coming up – although they caught up on offensive rebounds.

Glad to see Thabo finally get major playing time and develop into the type of player he really can be... :-) Thank you Pax for releasing him from Vinny's doggy house!!
Well the proof is in the play. Rose doesn't have a clue yet on what
he’s doing at the end of games
That's the worst logic in the history of earth
I don’t get paid millions of dollars to play basketball, when I do, I’ll shut the fuck up.

he's paid in regards to the player he can blossom into. he's a rookie. never forget that.

He probably should have pulled up instead of going all the way in or tried to dunk it.....
instead of laying it up. He will learn. I will take a loss or a win with the ball in Roses hands any day of the week.
When though?
It’s already like the eighth tome and he keeps doing the same fucking thing. I mean it’s just ridiculous at this point

True that
how many chances has he got? He hasnt hit any yet and he does the same thing everytime.
ROSE DRIVES TO THE HOOP...
its like a comb through Vinny's hair.
He has all of the chances he wants....he is the franchise...so you sometimes
win or lose with him. He has missed some winning shots but he has hit some too. He has won us some games so I am happy with it.
When has he hit one?
I realy dont remember that ever happening

Houston.
HIs play in Milwaukee….New Jersey…. He absolutely OWNED Phoenix…Utah Jazz…. Cleveland….Dallas….Detroit,,,,Indiana…Orlando…
In those games WE LOSE without the way Rose played and there are other games. Sorry I cannot let you get away in speaking on Rose as if he is a bust or something.
If we make it into the playoffs it will be because of Derrick Rose and honestly if we don’t make it it will be because of him as well.
Fine….it is the way it should be. He is the franchise….say what you will…he is the franchise.

I think Rudey just meant:
“When has he hit a game winning shot?”. Not: “When has he taken over a game?”

Im asking when has he hit a game winning/game tying shot..

Making a shot with 33 seconds
isnt really game winning. But ehh hes been given so many opportunities…

But you have not been impressed with Rose this year..
so why should I bother.
Im happy with him
but with the sysytem he’s in im not very impressed. Sorry im not the only one..

That is on coaching. Vinny should say to Rose...kid pull up or try to draw a foul...
but hey…Vinny is a douche. Rose got blocked but we will play Philly one more time this years hopefully things will be different.
what should the play have been?
Rose was the only guy who had it going in the 4th? Who should the play have been run for, oh wise one?

I still say give it to Gordon
I hate playing the hot hand.
Confusion breeds success. If they don't know each other, opponents can't have strategy. GENIUS.

Gordon was dreadful tonight.
Vinny discovers frontcourt by accident. Someone re-smash Gooden’s groin!

why would you call him retarded? You are so over the top

The retarded comment was right after the play happened, I was really upset at the moment
I probably should have just said: That was stupid as fuck.

Ugh...........another failure

rose is 100% more efficient in the flow of the game.. if you call a timeout, he loses the momentum... fck you vinny!

ahhh...
feels sooo right
The only monster here is the gambling monster that has enslaved your mother! I call him Gamblor, and it's time to snatch your mother from his neon claws!!
Well, another loss on Vinny Del Negro

seriously feels like he likes to lose... to gamble..

So that sucks.
I’m happy with what most of the players did when they were actually on the floor, though. They did come out and play tonight.
Man-slave, bring me my PB&J!
now that's exciting!
And Salmons vs Thabo soon too!!

Yeah that's a game thread I'm definitley skipping

It'll probably just end up being Vinny vs. the Bulls again

VDN benching DRose the whole game so he can observe how chris paul plays
study Kirk’s reaction to Paul’s play…
VDN is stuffing everything up, it’s pathetic!!

Sorry, but Rose just is not smart wi the ball
I know he had a good game, but because he is basically the future of the organization he has to be judged harsher than less important players. His decision making has not been one of his strengths, which is why he has struggled so much in these situations.

What I find amazing is that Rose is talked about as if he has played in chicago for
years. Derrick Rose is one year removed from High School. One year….. therefore considering that context. I am very happy with how Derrick Rose is doing in his ROOKIE season and this is even more profound considering he really don’t have any coaching this year.
Lay off of him. If we are this dependent on a rookie then that says a lot about the so-called veterans on this team.
If we lose a game on the last shot by Rose then that is what you want. You want the ball in Roses hands. Now…Vinny could have drew up a play where Rose would be SUCCESSFUL. Vinny should have recognized that Dalembert has blocked Rose shot already and maybe set up a pull up for Rose or a screen for Ben Gordon to receive a pass FROM Derrick Rose…or a pick and pop with Miller.
There were a lot of options for Vinny, but hey Vinny has to recognize this and in the end it is Vinnys call.
We have lost a lot of games because of Vinnys failure to recognize things like this.
