How many European scrubs does Deng have to burn to earn it?
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.
The problem for Deng is that Gordon will probably outshine him in the European Championship this summer.
Gordon is money from midrange, and NBA midrange = the European three pointer. Gordon could be taking money, fadeaway threes this summer, just like at Mount Vernon.
Chicago Bulls Blog and Forums. NBA Power Rankings.
Will Gordon play
if he doesn’t have a contract yet?
I doubt it. There was one guy that got injured while off contract a few years back, and since then almost no one does it.
Last year I was really hoping Deng would at least learn
leadership skills playing with GB as the big guy, but nothing seemed to come from it besides fatigue. It doesn’t seem to translate back to NBA skills. I don’t think the competition is very good for him to play off of. They have Ben and Deng and then the giant drop of on talent on their own team. And the competition is spotty too.

woo, shake and pop! rose

Why would Deng star?
He’s been awful this year. Gordon has been the Bulls best player all year, and Salmons since coming here. It’s not a tough decision.
You can’t bring both Hinrich and Gordon off the bench.
And Gordon is locked in for a starter for the rest of the year anyhow. They aren’t going to do anything that might anger him this year. They might start bringing him off the bench again once he’s under a long term contract.
Although they should probably just trade Deng, start Salmons, have a guy like Tim Thomas backup the small foraward position. And try to trade for Amare.

Why are they talking about Beasley as a possible ROY?

Drew Gooden is the definition of a black hole
You can’t put Ben in that category

Drew Gooden is the black hole of fadeaway jumpshots
I would argue there’s a different player, though, who is in an entire other celestial class of black hole.

But if you are offering him basically the equivalent of the MLE like guys like Sam Smith are talking about offering him, you’re going to lose him to another team with the MLE.

Honestly if we don’t offer him more than ANY other team I would think he’d walk. The Bulls deserve that too.
I was only saying that if he goes to Miami I’d be pissed because they would become significantly better with him on that team, and they play in the East.

Hopefully Missouri can make the Final Four and win it all.
But I have UConn beating Missouri next round in my bracket. I think Thabeet is too much for a team like Missouri without a legitimate big man.
But I’d love to see that Missouri/Kansas Final Four matchup. That would be sweet. Border War at the national level.

If Garnett is out, we'll beat them.
We’ve played Orlando pretty tough over the past 2 years. Gordon’s had some big games where we came up short at the end (the infamous Howard stripping Gordon turnover). And of course the blowout earlier this year.
We’ll probably lose in 6. This seems like the post-dynasty magic number for a playoff series.
But we do have a lot of talent. Especially if Luol Deng navigates his head out of his ass by the the playoffs.

We definitely have the age advantage in that match up.
If they get worn out by playing a series with a bunch of young guys like we have we have a chance. Doubled if Garnett is hobbled for any of it.
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.

Confusion breeds success. If they don't know each other, opponents can't have strategy. GENIUS.

Who could have predicted Vinny would be a better coach than Michael Curry?

Curry is in a worse situation
He seems to be a bad coach, but he also has a veteran team that has tuned out much better leaders. If Billups is still on the team, I think they’d still be in that 4-5 seed range. Stuckey didn’t pan out, and Iverson is not the impact player he once was. They both should be fired, though.

Yeah, Stuckey really sucks. It was funny when people were talking about him as an up and coming great point guard.

derrick's passes were unbelievable
that fastbreak no look pass, and that oop to TT were two of the best bulls highlights this year.
"They should. They better. I'm Vinny Del Negro!"
Derrick's line was super efficient.
9 points on 7 shots, 7 assists, 5 boards, and 0 turnovers in 30 minutes of playing time. That’s a damn fine game, especially because we didn’t need him to score.
Zero turnovers, though, with the way he was needling passes through the Heat defense? Crazy, crazy good.

Making Rose's more impressive are two things. The limited minutes
and the slow pace of this one. Just 84 possessions in this one. That’s about 9 fewer possessions than the Bulls are usually working with, and Rose had about 8 minutes less than he’s usually got, and still handed out 7 assists for high percentage looks.
What a fantastic game. I can’t say enough about it.
Oh yeah, and his wrist was injured. Man, oh man. What a game.

yeah, he was quiet
but he was on the floor leading the team when they ripped off the 15-0 run, including that sweet oop to tyrus.
well played game even though he didn’t have his usual flashy scoring plays (though he did have some flashy passes including that one).
"They should. They better. I'm Vinny Del Negro!"
Tyrus Thomas had himself a ball game, just like last game.
15 points on 11 shots, 13 boards (5 offensive!), 1 steal, 3 blocked shots, and just 2 turnovers in 38 minutes. Great, great work for Tyrus.

I like that he has matured
There are some instances where he’d force it or force a pass or jump shot. Here he was really level headed and if he didn’t see anything he’d kick it out.
Bulls were overdue
against Miami this year.
But for two last-minute faux pas, we easily could have swept the season series.
...there's some folks that, if they don't know, you can't tell 'em.
won, not swept
they beat us pretty handily in the first game.

new thread is up!
complete with turd-in-punchbowl recap. I’m sorry, Vinny has ruined me forever till he’s fired.
