Game Preview #3: Pritchslappys at Bulls

PrintEd: Thanks to the excellent Ozzie Montana for today's preview! ~S2
Ah, Portland. The anointed "Team on the rise with young, humble talent that makes you warm inside" for the past several years have gone relatively unnoticed since every blogger and sportswriter in existence has decided that Kevin Durant is in fact a holy union of Jesus and Krishna. But as one of the remaining undefeated teams they present another formidable challenge for our offensively challenged Bulls. Will Chicago flash that gumption we saw against Detroit or will we be treated to another November massacre at the hands of Portland?
As it's been for several years now, the Blazers rise and fall with Brandon Roy. He's not exactly the most entertaining player out there but is an excellent all around talent. Not quite the level of elite scorer like Wade or Paul but certainly proven that he can carry the load, rebound and even run the point when needed. I don't think the SG dumpster really stands much of a chance to stop him and if he gets going Thibs should turn to Scottie Pippen aka James Johnson. I've always liked his effort defensively and if he can hit a few shots it's an added bonus. The rest of the Blazers cast hasn't changed much. They signed Wesley Matthews to a questionable contract (length, not the dollars) and I honestly haven't watched him play that much. But he looks versatile enough to play alongside Roy so that's what matters. Andre Miller is consistently underrated. He should likely get destroyed by D. Rose but is one of the remaining guards in the league that actually looks to pass first. If the Bulls aren't patient with their rotations he will pick them apart. Nic Batum is quickly becoming a very dangerous player. He is an excellent outside shooter and their best perimeter defender. Think Thabo Sefolosha if he was good at more than one thing. Look for Luol Deng to do absolutely nothing of consequence or score 35 points against him. Their frontcourt is solid yet unspectacular. Without Oden and Vanilla Gorilla they now turn to Marcus Camby to play well for 25 games before rupturing a testicle. LaMarcus Aldridge is boring and Tyrus will always be better. Rudy Fernandez needs to get his sexy self on our side of the court.
As for our intrepid warriors, this is an interesting test. The Bulls showed some of that Thibs-classic pressure D against Detroit but the Pistons are a worthless team so getting them to fold isn't a huge accomplishment. Can the Bulls be patient against one of the better offenses? If Taj can keep Aldridge from going off (which he hasn't done before) and Jo can get Camby in foul trouble this turns into a very winnable game. The Blazers hate to run so Rose needs to continue to assert himself for the entire game. James Johnson has proven he deserves a spot in the rotation with Brewer banged up. Give Rose a running partner, even if he'll foul out guarding Roy.
Prediction: Chicago plays better offensively but won't stop Portland's backcourt. Rose takes another 30 shots and there will be 666 comments about it. Noah will play so well he will make the females in attendance ovulate.
Visit Blazersedge to remember just how amazing we are. Those mongrels think being nice to one another and avoiding cussing is an admirable trait.

Here's hoping we see more Omer on Aldridge.
Not that Aldridge likes playing in the paint, but if he ventured in too deep he might get Asik’ed on.

Great preview. Short, sweet, and hilarious. Just how they should be.
As for the game, I’m feeling the Bulls tonight. I feel the same way tonight as I did about the OKC game. I thought the Bulls would win that one, and I still think they would have if Rose didn’t get in foul trouble. I think these Bulls are eager to prove to themselves, and the rest of the league that they’re good. They’re gonna be ready for the 3-0 Blazers. I think they pull it out even though they’re not quite as good as the Blazers, without Boozer.
The only thing that scares me is that Rose struggles against big, shotblocking front lines, and Camby can definitely do that. Should be a good game either way. I was shocked to see that the Bulls were favored in this game. Albeit only by a point and a half, but still. It feels like a game that the Blazers should at least be a 2 or 3 point favorite. That’s another thing that makes me think the Bulls will win.
Superteams suck.

Your preview even made me laugh.
And I’m one of those mongrels you mentioned.
I think convention went out the window tonight for the Blazers though with the death on Maurice Lucas. He was very close to the team, and many were hoping he’d return to his assistant coaching duties when he got better. Unfortunately, that was not meant to be.
As a result, emotions are going to be running high for the Blazers. Which could mean anything. They could go out and lay an egg, or they could use this to play better than they are. For that matter, it could be some of both, which would change absolutely nothing.
Still, Portland is mourning the loss of one of basketball’s great players. And one of our all time heroes. #20 will be missed.

BlazersEdge:
A pack of overreacting, rabid kids?
Anyways, I’d definitely classify the overall tone of the blog as cynical, but we have some crazy people. Look, the moment of silence thing is good, the joke was bad, it’s not a big deal, and you definitely don’t need to generalize to everybody on BaB as a result.
WEAVER! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I always thought of us as the impending Zombie Apocalype.
We have come to your town to eat your brains. But are susceptible to shotguns and chainsaws.
But I think the over-reacting part is dead-on. For example, anytime Bill Simmons mentions anything about Portland, over-reaction is exactly the right word for it. Rabid is pretty good too. But kids? Childish perhaps, but most of our culprits are old enough to supposedly know better. They just don’t.

Here’s hoping that we get more Asik than Scals. More JJ than than Brewer. And that Bogans does things to justify him starting, rather than having him start by default.
and now i gotta write one of these for the Boston game this week?
how am i supposed to follow up this quality piece of typed work? nice write-up.

I can’t tell if thats because he’s not getting time, or if he’s just not getting time because he’s not playing well.

Awesome preview, the Knicks who we just played had an awesome post game recap too that was pretty awesome.
Nice to find some quality articles done by our opponents.
are u guys really happy with TT?
well i mean most guys do love TTs and I dont expect that to be any different in chicago but
I am ractually referring to the guy playing power forward for your team.
If I had to bet im going to take the guy who was a top ten pick and was traded to the team in red and black and is now wearing the number 12 to get the best of this matchup tonight.
wait are you under the impression that Tyrus still plays for the Bulls?

"The Zen philosopher Basho once wrote: 'A flute with no holes is not a flute, And a doughnut with no hole is a Danish.' He was a funny guy."
Its sort of a joke. sort of.
Tyrus Thomas got traded for Acie Law and a draft pick to Charlotte at last year’s trade deadline. Tyrus Thomas definitely fits into the bitter narrative on this blog. He should have been incredible for the Bulls, and he should have been resigned, but the organization wasn’t willing to bring him along, or even start him although he was the best PF. He seems to be flourishing (as Thomas goes) under Larry Brown in Charlotte.

Well he was traded for crap and he wasn't given the time to fully develop
He is still “flourishing” with only 24 mpg….which is a problem.
We’d need him more tahn that.
Besides I’d still take Boozer (unless he’s out for most of the next 5 years) over Tyrus. But it was sad to see T2 go.
2010-2011: I put the Scottie-Barkley Rockets feud curse on the Wade-James-Bosh trio.....
He was traded for crap?
That same crap is what Portland allegedly wanted in exchange for Rudy…that same crap that could be the Bulls only lottery pick in the near future.
Can't wait to see Boozer and Rose running pick and roll...err...
He's playing behind obviously better forwards though.
Gerald Wallace > Tyrus Thomas, and likely, Tyrus is ok with that… Taj Gibson is not Gerald Wallace.

Tyrus is behind Boris Diaw. He could still develop, but is starting to look like a career back-up.

Why is it that...
The Bulls ran what appeared to be a simple motion offense in the preseason and looked really good with more balanced scoring. Now that they’ve put in the regular season offense, they suck (offensively at least) with Rose the only option?
Luol Deng?
Probably Scalabrine though.

Preseason rarely has any predictive value. Yet the only difference between now and 2 weeks ago
Is Luol Deng. Rose and Noah are still playing at a high level, Bogans was on a lucky streak, JJ and Asik are both continuing solid showings.

Greatest game preview of all time. Matt should hire you to write one for every Bulls game.
Deng/Boozer/Noah: All your rebound are belong to us.
Well, we are at home.
Both teams are slated to win around 50. And we have Rose.
Not surprising at all. Are we favored by 3?
I have long since retired
Are the Bulls favorited by 1 or -2? :———Trap game -——-hopefully Portland doesn’t wins big
The Clippers should never win.
Other than that, you have a point.
Helps that Roy is better than any player on any team Portland has faced yet. He either takes games over in the 4th quarter or acts as an excellent decoy. It’s just too bad Nic Batum is going to be better than him in another year or two.
Yes! Yes! In the face!
They won the games on their schedule
including 2 on the road. But I wasnt saying that do to their record anyways. Obviously a lot more analysis goes into setting the lines then that. Just found it a bit strange w/ Boozer out and the Bulls still clearly adjusting to Thibs half court sets, etc.

Wes Matthews has looked pretty good so far for Portland (not like he didn’t in Utah or anything). He’s someone I worry about, due to his ability to be a shooting guard who can shoot (unheard of around here, I know.)

But that was a long time ago and it was just that one day.
The end
I expect
Rose 25+ pts, 8 asst and 5rb
Maybe 8-10 free throws and an efficient 8-14 with a 3 pointer in there
Noah will kill with a 16-16 and a few steals, blocks and assists
I see Deng taking responsibility and padding his average from the line and closing in on 20 pts
One other will have a good night and I think it may be Korver
