is when the Pacers would score, yet Funk and King would literally continue ripping on something that one of the Pacers players did on the (successful) possession. It’s ridiculous, yet somehow it’s like they literally have no idea what’s coming out of their mouths. I’ve never seen anything like it.

I’m taking Tyrus’ rant in the locker room as if he was a coach in an NBA game not getting the calls he thinks should be called. The coach gets a technical for his snapping at the ref and the rest of the game, the refs gets the message and are more aware. They then call the fouls and such accordingly.

Tyrus goes on his rant, gets his suspension and now he gets treated more accordingly

Just a thought

Saw like 5 minutes total of the game. Was at the Hawks game. It seems like a decent win with our struggles in that building. And now the question, do we “pump up” TT’s value and ship him off or keep him through the season?

I totally agree but wanted to see what everyone else thinks. Now what about Salmons because he probably won’t opt out.

“Rose in the open court was the difference in the basketball game,” O’Brien said. “He attacks like a running back. There is no point guard in the league that can guard him one on one.”

Since beating the Pacers really doesnt show anything except that the Bulls got a nice road win before a tough back to back…. i wanna defend 1/2 of the TV booth.

I’m fine with people that are annoyed by the comedy bits ( Neil doesnt know what twitter is or Stacy tells Neil the plot of Lost and Neil talks about why M*A*S*H was the last show he watched).

Stacy is one of the best color guys in the league right now. I’m sorry but if your lucky enough to have NBA League Pass or NBA TV you hear the other crews a lot. ( 95% are homers) – Stacy had the balls to challenge Vinny’s decisions the whole first third of this season – he pounded the “let Derrick take over games by going ISO idea” all Nov, Dec. His catch phrase Dunk calls are fun ( thats the job of a local TV color guy) and his telestrator stuff teaches the higher IQ basketball fan a good amount of time( ok Freeze it).

I’m fine with any criticism of Neil. I’m gonna be biased because I remember hearing his Steve Kerr Kaboom calls from 1996 and that can get tattooed in ones brain. I agree he is too homer on officials and he pounds an opposing player for 3 mins and that player then goes off for 14pts in the next quarter.

But there is so much worse out there. Unless you get the TNT call there isnt anything better. I’m fine with demanding a more neutral over homer call… but it could be a lot worse.

And that’s great. If he’s not traded we’ll need him. If he’s it adds to his value.

I especially loved how after they bashed that shot clock ending 3 that the Pacers could get at any time, I think Deng came back on the other side of teh court and shot a 18 footer with 3 Pacers under the basket and the closest rebounding Bull by the FT line….(not in position for a FT). Stacey was still saying the Pacers can get that shot at any point, when Luol shot that somewhat ill-advised jump shot (Though I’m for Luol being more aggressive so I won’t go all out and say it was ill-advised, but it basically was the shot Stacey was talking about the Pacers doing), but Luol hit it, and then Stacey said and see Luol Deng makes them pay….

And yes TJ Ford especially always seems to kill Hinrich. Why didn’t O’Brien continue to play him? It cost them that game….

and lace up the sneakers to boost attendance, even just for one game.
