Crazy predictions!

Ugh it is the off season. Right now it seems like the only thing to talk about is Dwayne Wade buying a house and if James Johnson will become a break dancing Michael Sweetney. I think we need something new to talk about so I thought I would make some outlandish predictions about the new season. Now these might not be entirely likely to happen but if I get one of them right I will look pretty smart in the future. Alright here we go:
1. In the first ten games of the season Loul Deng will look amazing and average 35 points a game. We will rejoice and say how cheap his contract is until his left leg falls off in a bizarre pogo stick accident.
2. The Bulls record will be 44-38. This will include a winning their home games 30-11 and then winning every prime numbered road game going 14-27
3. During the first Milwaukee vs. Sacramento game Nocioni and Skiles will stare longingly at each other during the game. Mid-way through the third quarter they embrace at half court and then run out of the building together giggling. They will live happily ever after in the Northwest Territories of Canada.
4. The secret behind Blogabull's man crush with Tyrus Thomas is revealed. It turns out 55% of all the users on the web site are actually Tyrus Thomas. This is especially shocking to me because I never imagined TT was that good at statistics.
5. Kirk Hinrich will announce his name has always been ”Kurt” and VDN was the first person to get it right.
6. Iverson will sign Miami and he will inexplicably get voted onto the all-star team again leaving Derrick Rose off the team. (This one actually could happen and that saddens me greatly)
7. James Johnson will be suspended for 30 games after he hits an opposing player with a spinning backfist followed by a flying knee to the face.
8. Aaron Gray will start at least 5 games this season due to “Matchups”
9. Joakim Noah will get a haircut.
10. Lebron James will become available in a trade. The Bulls will back out of trade talks because of luxury tax concerns and something about a "process".
So there are some of my outlandish predictions. Feel free to comment on them or throw out a few of your own outlandish predictions. Ahhhhhh BS fanposts it sure sounds like the off season.

Gar Forman will say our #1 prioty this offseason is to sign Ben Gordon,
Ben Gordon will not get an offer from the Bulls,
Gordon signs with a team like the Pistons,
Jerry Reinsdorf will say that they decided the year before that they weren’t going to sign Ben.
This was actually funny
mainly cuz i see it all actually happening…and thats kind of funny (in a very scary way)
On Behalf of Sue, Wjb, majoyenrac, Bullshooter and all the other Hinrich fans...Ill keep the Hinrich Hope coming...There will be light!
lol
funny stuff man
The only way you can avoid making a mistake is not to make a decision . Our Owner´s philosophy-
lol
good stuff
left shark - "Kirk needs to go and join Ben Gordon and L Deng somewhere else trade Deng and Hinrich they no good"
If you guys want to see something funny about number 5.
Go on PASPN and and read The Types of NBA Trades in the Mock GM section. In section 2, They call him Kurt Hinrich.
Things could be worse. We could have kept Boylan.
number nine will never happen
J Noah wants to resemble a luv a bull
one prediction to add Ben Gordon will smoke the Bulls for fifty points, but his defense will allow fifty points to the players he is guarding so it evens out
only lawyers and English teachers should care for grammar are you one?
The Pirates,Reds,Royals, and Padres are not major league teams
Will any player on the Bulls score 40 or more points a game?
just a bunch of maybe(s).. Potential Rose? maybe Kirk? but no guarantees either will.
Certainly not any other front court player (maybe Johnson??)
Deng! or Tyrus ! no way

40 points per game or 40 points in a game?

Luol could do it I think.
It would be a one time game, but I think he could do it against the right team.
Both Luol and Kirk current career highs are capped @ 38 pts in a game once each.
Now with defenses not worrying about explosive Gordon for minutes during a game, Salmons will need to draw defenses away. Still Luol scoring 38 again or >40 is hard to imagine, because he just seems to run out of gas (48 min. conditioning doesn’t appear that great, never has!)

Hmmmm well I could think of a few people I would want him to hit
10 people I want JJ to hit in the face with a flying knee
1. Sheed (A knee to the face may actually make him look better)
2. Yao Ming – If he could jump high enough to knee him in the face that would be awesome
3. Rondo
4. James Posey
5. Stephen A. Smith (I don’t care if he isnt a player or a coach, he needs a knee to the face)
6. Benny the Bull
7. VDN
8. Karl Malone
9. Hugh Hollins – Fuck you Hugh
10. That lady ref

We're talking about who we want James Johnson to hit in the face with a flying knee.
I love the offseason sometimes.

To the list add
JJ Reddick, Christian Laetner and Danny Ferry – the core of the Overrated and Arrogant Dookie Team.

Well I have nothing against Yao
I just think it would be amusing to see someone jump high enough to knee him in the face. I suppose I could have gone with Gheorghe Muresan or Manute Bol instead.

40 for Loul is pushing it….high 30s maybe.
Rose will def do 40 at least 5 games.
Salmons could hit it once or twice
Don’t think Kirk can.
Well?
Rose 1 year career high for points per game in a game I believe is 28. For Rose to score 40 often, I believe he’ll need to get a better percentage via his 3pt shots.
Luol is just unimpressively slow or lacks consistent aggression, he once scored 38 pts (career high) against the Suns during the run-and-gun-no defense days in Phoenix. When he’s D’d up Luol tends to pass the ball and just doesn’t score as much. Therefore he can be limited and stop whenever an opposing coach and defensive player makes a commitment.
Kirk, on the other hand is streaky and when he’s hot (occassionally) and feels it, he is not shy and will put up shots to possibly propel him pass his current career high also at 38 pts in a game. Yet, Kirk develops a conscious when he misses about 3+ shots in a row and then defers although he may have went 7 out 10 during his previous 10 shots. Partly this is because he often times thinks unselfishly like a PG. He’s not an unconscious scorer like BG but a conscious scorer maybe like Rose. On many possessions, when Kirk is feeling it he doesn’t pass the ball that much at all. It appears he hasn’t master allowing the offensive to come to him, although he does do well when he’s scoring. It appears he is truly a rythmn shooter and passing the ball to teammates might disrupt his rythmn when he’s feeling it.
But as soon as Kirk starts to miss his conscious returns and he remembers he is playing with 4 other guys and he then regresses to non offensive confidence or ingenuity. The probelm is the game is not won yet.
I imagine the biggest issue with Kirk is his inability to have some almost guaranteed inside moves and drives which would re-propel his confidence immediately after his jump shot goes bad.
Rose presently doesn’t have the 3pt threat like BG or even Kirk, but he is extremely better at finishing threrefore unlike Kirk he won’t fall into a rut and stop scoring just because his outside shot isn’t falling.
This part of Kirk’s game is very frustrating to me as a fan, because he just doesn’t go down blazing or firing with all his cylinders, but rather concludes he’s offensively finish for the evening ( 3rd qtr) therefore someone else will have to carry this puppy home! Similiar argument can be made of Luol Deng.

Rose scored 36 in game 1 of the playoffs
Things could be worse. We could have kept Boylan.

How could anyone forget?
If only Rose can have 90% of the career of the guy he shares the record with.

malapropism
The conscious/conscience one in this comment is pretty good. You can be described as “unconscious”, meaning you are hot and score a ton almost as if it happens automatically. You can take a ton of shots without any remorse, make or miss, meaning you shoot with no conscience. You can be a conscientious offensive player, meaning you operate within the offense and take shots when appropriate. You can take a bunch of bad shots and then have your conscience bother you for being selfish. But in all of the examples, the offensive player is in fact conscious.

Eh? Career high for points per game in a game is kinda confusing.

Rose has the best chance even with a 3pt shot. He can get into the lane at will and he will get some more calls this year. I can see him averaging Devin Harris type FT attempts certain games.
FT attempts .. definitely .. I didn't factor that in... you're correct!

23.00
im thinking rose will average numbers of about 20-23 points a games based on the more atempts he will be making, in absense of gordons crazy field goal atempts. im thinking he will also have an average of 6-8 free throws per game
"One good thing about being wrong is the joy it brings to others"
I predict
joakim Noah will have one huge thirty scoring plus game
If you dont like me please ignore me and my posts
The Pirates,Reds,Royals, and Padres are not major league teams
