Game Preview and open Thread #80 - Bulls vs. Charlotte Bobcats

So much for suspense. About a week ago, this game looked HUGE on the schedule. It would be billed as the “game of the season” for the Bulls. They’d be playing the team nipping at their heels in the playoff chase. MJ’s former organization versus his current organization. Alas, all we get is game #80 of the season, a mere tune-up for the playoffs. The OKC Thunder took care of all the drama for us last night as they defeated the Bobcats 84-81, thus ensuring the Bulls’ ticket to the postseason. So the question is which Bobcats team shows up tonight: the spoiler (though there isn’t much to spoil since it’s not as though they can somehow keep the Bulls out of the playoffs) or the team playing on the end of a back-to-back who just had its playoff heartbeat put to rest? Honestly, I think Charlotte has no chance in this game. What possible motivation can Larry Brown possibly give to this team at this point? They’ve climbed out of the depths of the Eastern Conference throughout the entire second half of the season to even get to this point, but that climb is over for them as they can’t possibly climb any higher in the standings. Plus, the way the Bulls have been playing at home, I don’t see the Trojan army coming in the UC and having a fighter’s chance.
All that being said, the Bulls can land anywhere between the 5th seed and the 8thseed. They currently sit 7th in a virtual tie with Detroit while only a game behind Philly, whose lost 4 in a row, and two games behind Miami, whose lost 2 in a row. Miami still has the Knicks (which is always a tough match-up for the Heat) and two playoff teams to play (ATL, DET), so they aren’t out of reach yet.
Philadelphia has two road games left, including the season finale @CLE, and a home date versus Boston. I’m guessing Boston is still playing hard to find their rhythm heading into the playoffs, and Cleveland could easily rest some players in that last game, but Philly could go 1-2 or even 0-3 and allow the Bulls to move up.
Detroit also has two road games left, including Indy and Miami. I feel as long as the Bulls take care of business on Monday @DET, they shouldn’t be jumping ahead of the home team.
As you all might’ve noticed, I enjoy coming up with useless little debates in the previews. They usually have no real bearing on the outcome of the games themselves, and my friends usually rag on me for getting into useless sports radio banter. Either way, my debate for these final 3 games is this: should VDN rest some guys now that their spot in the postseason is assured or should he stretch this already-thin rotation for the sake of “momentum” heading into the playoffs? I think many of you would say that whomever we play in the first round, we’d lose. That’s probably true, but at this point, why not just go for broke with this rotation and make sure to avoid playing the Cavs in the first round. Yes, I have changed my mind about who to play in Round 1. The Celtics seem vulnerable and the Magic’s shooting could go cold thus making them susceptible. What good would it do to break the rhythm this team has found? I say just keep steamrolling. Maybe this team goes in with some swagger, as TT’s comments suggest. Whatever. Keep it goin’!

Cleveland and Los Angeles
are still neck and neck for the best record overall, and thus home court advantage for the entire playoffs. I would not expect Cleveland to be resting and regulars unless the homecourt race is decided by then.

Tyrus Thomas’ comment about being the most dangerous team in the East has only made me more excited for postseason. I say keep the momentum going into the postseason. Why slow down now?
Vinny needs to stop playing Linton Johnson III and Aaron Gray. Go back to playing 7-8 players per game.

they still only played 9 guys
even with those 2 guys playing on thurs, and they only got a combined 8.5 minutes of play. when tim returns (tonight?) i assume there won’t really be a need for either guy and it will be an 8 man rotation of hinrich, miller, and thomas off the bench. gray only even played cause of the foul trouble.

I think the Bulls have to try and win these last 3 games.
Like you said, the sixers have lost 4 in a row and are on the verge of ending the season like they did last year, in a huge slump. If they do, which I predict they are going to, versing Bos and Cle, we have a great chance to get the sixth seed and vs Orlando in the first round (for all in that favor) and give a good series; it would probably be the only series the bulls have a (small) chance to win. Either way, the Bulls would gain Experience.

If the bulls land the 6th seed
we play orlando, who lost to the knicks the other day. Dwight howard is a beast, but he isnt a “take-over” type of guy as the knicks game showed, and shaq says that van gundy cracks under pressure. More and more i want to play orlando in the playoffs. If we somehow get in the second round dont we then play the the cavs in the second round? Isnt that the best path for the bulls?

Yeah I thought Nelson was more so their closer. Alston is great…everyone says the ball moves better etc. But he isn’t a very consistent shooter as he use to be for some reason.
I was kinda hoping Deng would come back so then we’d be a deeper than them as far as talent at least.
Not sure if Gundy isn’t good as the post season goes on though. I think thats Shaq trying to get some shots in again.

I don't buy into the "Orlando isn't tough" hype
The Bulls suck big-time against teams who have a starting PF who can stretch the floor, and when the Bulls beat the Magic they shot almost 60% for the entire game.
The Celtics will still take us down, but at least there’d be some semblance of competition if Garnett isn’t completely healthy.
That Steve Nash is exactly the same as Kirk Hinrich, but worse.

Not sure Tyrus talking smack will help the Bulls or come back to bite them in the playoffs.
But the fact that he’s even talking is a big step forward compared to his past moodiness. I think this can be directly traced to fact he now knows he is no longer on a short leash and has a definite role in the team’s success.
I believe his confidence level is growing for the first time in his career and the biggest catylst is the influence of Brad Miller who has helped Noah improve his game as well. All season long Bulls fans have been screaming for a big man coach and I think he has arrived. The players all seem to like him and there is no longer an excuse to bring in Gray to diminish our chances for victory. Miller brings experience, savviness, a calming influence, tough defense, passing and rebounding while opening things up because of his ability to score from the high post in addition to his lightening speed. Well maybe not but he would look a lot quicker if playing against a team of turtles but his overall performance rates at least an A-.
If Tyrus can actually use his energy and athleticism the entire time he’s on the court instead of just being a bystander too often while hanging around the perimiter instead of crashing the boards to help rebound (apparently he doesn’t like the heavy contact near the rim), than the Bulls would have a legitimate chance to pull the biggest upset since Golden State eliminated the Mavs. I’m sure Noah will bring it and Rose has seemed to reach another gear lately which makes him a very dangerous weapon.
If you can't answer a man's arguments, all is not lost. You can still call him vile names.

My brother’s new baby is still in the NICU, though, so most likely we’ll go pick her back up tomorrow night. The baby’s improving a lot, so hopefully he’ll get released shortly and she can go home. She’s been a real trooper, but of course she misses her mom and dad, and also picks up on all the stress over the baby and is worried about him, too.

The Bulsl offense was firing on all cylinders in the first quarter and the defense was active
and they were getting out in transition. Second quarter they went more and more one on one and were missing shots and allowing themselves to get beat on defense.
They need to get more aggressive going to the basket. They have just three foul shots in the first half and those all came from BG getting hacked on a corner three.
Salmons needs to start hitting shots because 1-8 is a killer.
Fire Vinny.

So I think this makes 19 techs for Rasheed Wallace
At least, if espn hasn’t already updated the tech counts. And suspensions are after even numbers of fouls, right? So this wouldn’t result in him being suspended by the Bulls.
Still, nice of the Pistons to lose tonight – Bulls need to grab this opportunity to go up a game in the standings. A Cleveland-Detroit matchup in the playoffs could be the first time I’ve ever rooted for the Cavs. ;)

It's a seriously tough call.
I really can’t stand Cleveland either. But Detroit is always so arrogant with the whole “turn it on for the playoffs” thing. I’d kind of like to see them get swept in the first round.
I’ll be rooting against Cleveland the rest of the way, though!
They didn’t mention a suspension during the game, just the tech, so I’m assuming he’ll be OK to play Monday. Anyway, we might be better off with ’Sheed in the lineup over their kids.

I blame BG for Rose not having a single 30+ point game all season long. He would have had it this game if BG could take being outscored. But of course, he’s gotta get his PPG up to get that moula.

Considering the fact that might be the only way for us to win games I hope he does. Heck, we need to get rid of a few more players. I bet Rose could score even more if he was the only one shooting. His assists might suffer, but its his team. We can’t have any other good players around him. It might hurt his stardom.

And is the same percentage Kirk is shooting this season, so there’s no big gap there. Blake is running real plays, from a real coach. We’ve all seen Hinrich do the same. It’s not like Kirk is miles ahead of Blake, but he’s still better, and they’re in a position where that makes a difference.
That Steve Nash is exactly the same as Kirk Hinrich, but worse.

I'm most certainly not, the Clippers are the most boring team in the league.
I’ve seen enough of the Blazers to talk about Steve Blake, though.

True, what is wrong with me?
Derrick Rose>both of them.

A couple observations:
First, I absolutely despise Neil Funk. The guy has to be THE most annoying announcer in the history of the league (hyperbole?). It’s like he’s there solely to make fun of people (most of the time for doing nothing wrong) and then he will occasionally take a break to tell the viewing audience what’s happening with the game. Only one problem… he has no fucking clue what’s going on in the game!
Second, Derrick Rose is sick. BUT, it takes a quarter like the first to realize how good this team can be when he is aggressive CONSTANTLY and making plays for his teammates. Which makes me wonder what the hell happened after the first quarter. He needs to stay aggressive when he is on the floor.
I’m sure he’ll get better in that regard, but I just feel like he is capable of doing so much more, and it gets frustrating sometimes. I really wanted to see him go crazy tonight. It’s annoying as hell when you see how talented he is, then he spends basically the whole second half at the three point line dribbling the clock down, waiting for Gordon or Salmons to come off a screen, giving the ball up, then running to hide in the corner. That’s more on Vinny than Derrick though.

I thought he was going for 40 last night.
How did he only end up with 22?

He only took 6 shots in the 2nd half
Made 4 of them. It’s also nearly impossible to score 40 points when you never get to the line or make 3-pointers.
