2010-11 Game Preview #30: Bulls vs. Milwaukee Bucks

Print[Thanks to paddyfairview for today's game preview -ed.]
If predictions were reality, this would be a major matchup. Also, LeBron James would be a Bull, Durant would be having an MVP season, and Portland would be a top team in the West. (Take this moment to appreciate that someone has worse frontline injury issues than the Bulls.) On the trade front, the F.O. would be attempting to choose between acquiring J.R. Smith, sending Taj and JJ to Charlotte for Stephen Jackson, or helping Heisley and Wallace atone for their many, many managerial disasters by exchanging our every available trade asset for O.J. Mayo. Thankfully, predictions are not reality. ESPN The Magazine's Chris Broussard (I'll bet it says that on his driver's license) can take his premature speculation problem elsewhere.
This is actually a pretty meaningless game, despite both fanbases being desperate for a win. Chicago fans hope a 46 game win streak will erase memories of the 4th quarter debacle at MSG (nope, keep drinking), while Milwaukee fans hope to keep their season afloat while Jennings is out. Oh yeah - Brandon Jennings is out. You probably knew that, but it bears repeating. (Remember that Canis Hoopus game preview a couple weeks back that listed Rose/Luke Ridnour as a compelling matchup? Well, bring on Keyon Dooling and Earl Boykins. Forget the shoe ads - between the refs, Hollinger and everyone else, Rose is quickly becoming the Rodney Dangerfield of NBA stars.)
Bulls castoffs John Salmons and Drew Gooden return, along with the rest of Milwaukee's ill-fitting pieces. Look for Andrew Bogut to give our weakened frontline fits. Hopefully Sheek will be taking notes. Keith Bogans will undoubtedly continue to suck. I predict a Bulls victory, under the highly arcane Transitive Property of Basketball, which states (according to Hollinger): "When an occasionally-feisty-but-generally-mediocre team missing its starting PG takes on a very good team missing its defensive anchor, the team from a better, less Wisconsin-y city will generally beat the one coached by Scott Skiles".
(How many of you were waiting for Skiles to get fired on Christmas Eve for the second time in his career? I guess only Portland and Seattle's basketball gods are that cruel.)

No, I meant irresistable.
If he has sufficient mass to cause an implosion, the implication is that the collapse would cause a black hole. Thus, irresistable, as in a deep gravity well with nothing escaping the event horizon.
For the record, I officially do not like him at all now.
I never liked his so-called ‘charisma’ which I just thought was a big cheesy guy acting like a goon, but his antics in Boston after the free throw violation put me off of him completely. He decided to be an ass.

i expect Kurt Thomas to do a nice job on Bogut
he should know his game because he practiced against him all last year and Bogut is the kind of slow footed, strong center that Kurt Thomas matches up best against at this point in his career. I expect a low scoring game and Boozer to have another big night.

Rose working down in the post is something I've wanted since he was drafted.
I get that it’s tough, but he’s big and strong for his position, as well as the best at finishing creatively with both hands. Hes already shown he has a nice jump hook and floater, why not make things easy on him and work down there a bit.
I like your point about the assists, especially with Boykins. It’s tough passing out of the post at times if it’s tough to see over your defender. Here, he’ll have a clear line of vision the entire time. He should feast.

I'm not sure we can say that Rose has a nice floater right now.
by JockstrapNoah on Dec 28, 2010 1:25 PM CST up reply actions
True.
It has suffered along with the rest of his midrange game.
I'd like to see Rose post up though.
It might easier for him to pass out of that than to drive and kick.
by JockstrapNoah on Dec 28, 2010 1:48 PM CST up reply actions
Guys not as quick or athletic as Rose made a career out of posting up(the Glove, Cassell),
or at least made it a large part of their respective games(Kidd). A post game would make scoring that much easier for Rose.
It'd be nice to replace all those floaters
with a 12 foot step back jump shot after creating space with the shoulder bump, like Cassell would do.
That’d be a more reliable shot, although the floater/push was working for Rose last year, so he’s probably not going to drop it, maybe he’s been practicing the 3 pointer more and hasn’t had the reps to keep the floater sharp.
by JockstrapNoah on Dec 28, 2010 3:14 PM CST up reply actions
Yup.
I think he did it to Aaron Brooks last year, though I may be wrong. He had the ball down on the left baseline with his back to the bucket, bounced off to create (a ton of) space and nailed the mid range J. That’s not exactly what I was talking about, but it’s a good idea too.
He's gone down there before
although I can probably count on my hands the total number of times he’s done it.
by Stacey_Is_King on Dec 28, 2010 2:08 PM CST up reply actions
Meh
He’s so effective facing up, I don’t see why you’d want him to go away from that.
Pat Riley is the devil.
It's a way to get Rose in a true 1 on 1 situation,
also a way to draw easy fouls to get a guy out of the game. I don’t want him to stop attacking, it’s just another wrinkle to his game that would help a lot. This Bucks team lost a lot of it’s scoring punch when Jennings went down, if he can get Boykins in foul trouble in the post, they’d have as much trouble scoring as a woman’s basketball team.
When Boykins was with the Clippers
I remember the coach of the Clippers saying he preferred teams to try and post-up on Boykins because it completely took the opponent out of their traditional offense, and placed the opposing players into roles they were unaccustomed. This supposedly resulted in sloppy offense. Of course, this was a coach for the Clippers.
also because it doesnt work. earl boykins can bench 350 lbs, so guys who think they
can post him up are usually mistaken.
"JJ has never made that floater. He’s probably never even practiced it, he just decided to take a floater, which is why he’s James Johnson."

Anyone looked at our team stats on nba.com over the last 10 games?
Essentially we are the best team in the NBA.
Miami is 1st in +/- in points +12.3 and we are 2nd at +12.2
However, we beat Miami in rebounding and we are no 1 in the NBA allowing only 86.6 points, even better than Boston. Look for that to improve against MIL.
I am excited about this Bulls team. hard to believe Boozer comes back and Thomas takes over from Noah and our defense improves as well as the +/- in points.

Hate to be KC here but...
- The schedule over the last 10 games has been pretty light (SOS of .391).
- The schedule was loaded with above average offensive teams to start the season. The team has still been playing good defense even in absence of Noah, but it’s hard to say it’s actually improved. Those defensive numbers were bound to improve as the Bulls finally started playing teams with below average offenses.
Well, isn't what LeBron did last night the living embodiment of The Secret, leaving millions on the table and turning himself into a hometown villain, all for the sake of winning?

I hope we spank this mess out of the Bucks tonight.
Remember in the preseason when all those bucks fans swore they had a legit chance of winning the central? I’d love to revist that post but I forget if it was on here or over at brew hoop.
It was at Brewhoop
I wrote a fanpost about it.
And got chewed up about predicting we win 5-10 more games than the Bucks this season… Doesn’t look so homerish now, does it?
Fuck the Big Macs!
A lot of people here kept saying it too.
“Don’t sleep on the Bucks” they said. Apparently the Bucks fell asleep themselves.
Of course 7 games is not insurmountable and they have had their health issues, but so have the Bulls.

Betting Odds: (if you care to know)
$10 bet on the Bulls win pays $12.20 ($2.20 profit)
$10 Bet on the Bucks win pays $55.00 ($45.00 profit)
So bet on the Bucks. If Bulls win then you are out $10 “bucks” but who cares as long as we win.
If the Bulls lose then, hell, you got $45 bucks to get drunk and forget about it.

not sure but his floater hasn't really been on all season.
even before the wrist injury his floaters weren’t falling like they did last year.
Rose has 7RBs/game
in the last 5 games. In general, since the injury he’s been rebounding the ball very well. I don’t its something we’ve really seen from Rose to this point.

Boozer has 26 and 12 in his last 7 games.
and 57% shooting. The dude feasts on bad front courts, the Bulls should never lose to another sub .500 team (without Blake Griffin) again.
Earl Boykins would be the last person I imagine getting suspended for something like that!
And it’s not just because of his size. The NBA is getting ridiculous. This year, if you come within half court of a ref, you’ll be suspended and fined. Sick.
I guess that was his first career technical.
and it robs us of the chance to see Earl Boykins play, which is always a mind blowing type of thing.
