I think Brad just stepped on Noah's foot.

Deng should have a commercial like that D wade one.
When his other two selves decided to dunk or not dunk it. Except if he should or should not pass on the break.
Keys to the game (imho0
1. Hit the 3
2. Defend the paint, limit their offensive rebounds
3. Dont allow them to force turnovers

Vinny's plays are so my turn, your turn

has pargo ever had an isolation that didn't result in a bad jumper?
why not run something else – there was time
by Basketball Smurf on Mar 4, 2010 7:36 PM CST reply actions
I am not as anti-Pargo as the rest of you
not saying he’s the MVP, but if he didnt take so many lousy shots and played within the rythym of the game, then he’d be a pretty good guy on the bench to bring in for momentum 3s when trailing.

not looking to shoot much but he’s effective with his defense tonight. He is doing a pretty good job on D..
Is Rose playing the passing lanes better?

"Oooohhh, cat in the wall, eh? Now you're talkin' my language."
why has derricks college rebounding not translated at all into the nba?
"Oooohhh, cat in the wall, eh? Now you're talkin' my language."
rondo is 6'1'', westbrook is 6'3'', lowry is 6'0''. they rebound.
"Oooohhh, cat in the wall, eh? Now you're talkin' my language."
Rose doesnt crash the boards
Rondo and Russ do, Rose is usually running to the opposite side to start a fastbreak
by Playboy_BullV on Mar 4, 2010 8:07 PM CST up reply actions
bad idea. the bulls arent even a good fastbreak team. and you cant break if you dont have the ball.
"Oooohhh, cat in the wall, eh? Now you're talkin' my language."
Rose is good at getting the ball and streaking down the court for easy points

given to him from a crashing Noah or Taj usually
by Playboy_BullV on Mar 4, 2010 8:14 PM CST up reply actions
its not even those rebounds im really talking about. its the ones that squirt 10-15 feet
away from the basket. the guards have to get those, and guys like steph curry and rondo who have a nose for the ball do get those rebounds.
"Oooohhh, cat in the wall, eh? Now you're talkin' my language."
meh, that's more about positioning
Rose is always pushing the ball, I never see Rondo push so he’s always in the scrum
by Playboy_BullV on Mar 4, 2010 8:30 PM CST up reply actions
Point taken on Westbrook but Rondo and Lowry arnet much better than Rose.
Is the PG really expected to rebound?
like I said, f the PG crashes the boards instead of running to start a fastbreak then they will
get rebounds, the Bulls have Noah and Deng with Taj to crash and Rose is fast breaking – Boston is a half court team and OKC doesnt fast break as much as it seems but when they do Durant can ignite it from a Westbrook pass
by Playboy_BullV on Mar 4, 2010 8:12 PM CST up reply actions
rondo and lowry are better rebounders. its not a killer if the PG doesnt rebound, but it would
really help a team that starts hinrich at SG.
"Oooohhh, cat in the wall, eh? Now you're talkin' my language."
I have now given up on Warrick
Beasley spent the first two quarters like he was wandering through a forest.-Neil Funk
Trade Hinrich!

hinrich
if he can’t make it at least drive to the basket and get a layup or fouled instead of doing the hinrich circus dribble

Could the Bulls sign Bosh and Gay?
Beasley spent the first two quarters like he was wandering through a forest.-Neil Funk
I mean Gay isn't a max guy right?
Beasley spent the first two quarters like he was wandering through a forest.-Neil Funk
If we sign a max guy
Then I’m not sure we’ve got much extra after filling the spots – maybe a couple of mil – not enough for Gay. Unfortunately.
Lee + Gay might be possible, but I think even that is way out of range
Oh
Assuming they can move Kirk.
Beasley spent the first two quarters like he was wandering through a forest.-Neil Funk
we do not have money for both
If Gay does get the max, his max is less than guys like Lebron, Wade, Johnson, because he has been in the league less time. I expect Gay to get a top offer
by Basketball Smurf on Mar 4, 2010 8:14 PM CST up reply actions
Right but if they can move either Kirk or Deng then you have a shot.
Beasley spent the first two quarters like he was wandering through a forest.-Neil Funk

no but unfortunately rose's assist numbers aren't what I had hoped either
or more specifically, his passing vision
"Vinny think, THINK!" - Some knowledgeable fan
by him_joke_NOAHmore on Mar 4, 2010 8:22 PM CST up reply actions
team cant make shots
and we run no plays. what do you expect?
a better coach might help
he hasn’t displayed a tremendous passing vision either way so far though
"Vinny think, THINK!" - Some knowledgeable fan
by him_joke_NOAHmore on Mar 4, 2010 8:26 PM CST up reply actions
It would help if he played
with guys who could fill the lanes and hit open jumpers
no evidence to back this up, but
it seems like rose’s passes aren’t necessarily flashy like we all expect. but he seems to make good decision w/ the ball, either taking it himself or getting it to the open guy or a guy in position to do something good with the ball. it seems like rose gets the ball to the open guy, who misses a shot, or to someone with good position and then gets fouled. again no evidence. perhaps just my rationalization :)
he definitely doesn't make many flashy/"you have great vision" passes
