Right now, with 20 games left, it's not about individual stats or anything. It's about getting the win.
Captain Luol taking another thinly-veiled shot at anonymous teammates? Why is it that he's always making comments like this?

I think he's talking about himself.

Don't forget this from Jay Williams.

Deng mad about Rose 37 points in a loss?
Why aren't they selling Rose's all star jersey?
Maybe Luol thinks that Rose is scoring too efficiently
he should pass the ball to Deng so he can miss more. That’s efficiency!
…
Maybe he’s talking about Pargo? But Pargo just has tunnel vision. He may be medically unable to pass.

I agree, that's a little weird.
Especially when Derrick was so ridiculous last night – efficient, passing well, pretty much just carrying the team. I think Derrick took one bad, contested shot last night. Otherwise who the hell is Luol talking about?

His statline was horrendous. He’s probably saying he doesn’t care bout his stats, he cares about winning.

I still think he sucked last night, though!

OK I don't know shit about basketball.
by SoulEater7 on Nov. 5, 2009 9:51 PM CST
I don't think he was referring to anybody
It was just a generic “we have to win” comment in my opinion. If taht’s the case, i’d say warrick and Murray ar more likelyculprits than miller.
Brad Miller is god.
Hopefully, but it seems like he's the only one who ever mentions stats

That game was about a lack of defense.
A lack of key stops. A lack of key rebounds. The offense was fine.

I'd like to think he was talking about Pargo.

Deng frustrates me to a new level
Why this man is consider or voted the captain befuddles me. He demonstrates zero leadership on or off the court. He makes vague comments a true leader would point the finger in the direction of the team mate that is failing (not via the media). IMO Deng should no longer hold the title as captain. I believe Noah, Rose should step up as leaders of this team and inform Deng to stifle his comments. I think Noah has leadership qualities but Rose not so sure.
Update: More Deng douchebaggery
“There are some nights you don’t get the ball,” Deng said. “It looks bad, but I only missed six shots.”
And this guy is a captain? Seriously?
Thrusting toward the playoffs, one game at a time.
Every time Deng speaks about shots or ex-teammates he comes off sounding like an asshole
now, I don’t know if he is an actual asshole, but where there is smoke, there is fire.
I didn’t see the game, but I think Deng needs to take more shots. He also needs to work harder to get himself into scoring position.
by Basketball Smurf on Mar 7, 2010 1:12 PM CST up reply actions
Apparently he wasn't aware that he only made 2 shots

I pray
That Deng plays great just to increase his trade value.
Love the sig! LOL
Joakim on whether he ever tried tennis: "I played a little bit. If anybody on the Bulls wanted to play me, I would kick their ass."
High Tea time during the playoffs!
Give it to Rose and get the fuk outta the way asshole!.. thank you!
Yeah the first one was pretty vague
This one was silly. He was getting lit up the other night and hardly got any boards which is unlike him. Don’t turn around and talk about not getting the ball after that performance.

Comments like this....
Demonstrate that Deng has no clue of leadership.
jamaica
Jealousy should not be the issue it is a team sport. The man should understand this and put his ego aside if he truly wants to win.
Maybe Deng should never open his mouth unless he's talking about a charity
Apparently he graduated from the Scottie Pippen school of sounding like an unintentional ass.

heh...exactly
I don’t think he’s intentionally trying to call out guys or trying to take shots at people…it’s all just unintentional assbagery
I really can't stand Deng
He hit his ceiling a few years ago and when he’s playing against quicker small forwards he is a non factor. Comments like these are stupid and just show how much of a leader he is. Yeah you only took six shots but you didn’t even try and take anything to the hoop last night. Long Range jumpers and that corner three, on nights your night getting it on offense then you should be trying to play some D. Butler ate that ass last night Buddy ….. I hope he gets moved in the offseason.
Give me a break.
This team can’t lose a game without you guys calling for someone’s head or seeking out someone to hate…Kirk was a couple days ago, so I guess now it’s Deng. How unpredictable. If Blogabullers were in charge, there’d be nobody left except Rose and Tyrus (and nobody to call the games on TV either). Deng had a bad game. He’s scored in single digits like 5 times this season. As for reading into the above quote as a “thinly veiled” reference to someone…this reminds of my 11 year-old niece gossiping incessantly with her friends about “dirt” between Ryan Seacrest and Zac fucking Efron or whoever the flavor of the month is. Sorry, but titillating storylines about supposed “feuds” are not worthy of a grown man’s time.

Yeah that's right
Don’t respond to a logical, realistic post. Don’t listen to reason. Go on whining about things that are completely irrelevent to the game of basketball and keep making up excuses to hate a player who’s clearly in the upper echelon of NBA players.
Brad Miller is god.
I rest my case!

Actually, if Blogabullers were in charge
there’d be nobody left except for Rose, BG, Tyrus, and Noah. And, really, most here seem to be fine with Deng.
But you’re right about the hate, brosef. Only chastising anonymous posters on an internet blog is worthy of a grown man’s time.

Are your kids in danger in their own bedrooms? Tune in at 11
“We got to turn it around right now,” Deng said. “We got to look at how many games we got left and somehow we got to get wins. Right now, with 20 games left, it’s not about individual stats or anything. It’s about getting the win. And we got 20 games to get as many wins as we can.”
Only a psychic or someone trying to create a story where none exists would take this quote about how important winning is above all else and make it into a shot against a specific player.
You could go through every single person’s interviews, take it line by line, and create your own subtext, but people usually realize what a waste of time that is. Youre not finding a story, you’re creating one.

yup, pretty much
though the ‘only missed 6 shots, sometimes you don’t get looks’ quote later in this thread is a bit of him being a wiener. But not a locker room cancer or anything.

I never implied he was a cancer
Just that he’s a pretty douchy “captain.” S’all.

I don't like that quote
Hard to justify in any context, though I would still like to see it.
Vinny: "[Thrust] means pace, it means getting the ball out, it means getting your back to the sidelines, it means extending your outlets, it means getting the ball up the court into our early offense with plenty of time."
No one, everyone.... or somewhere in between. Each answer is just as likely.
Though I appreciate the irony of someone calling a basketball player a “fuking douchbag” over saying that winning is the only thing that matters, and really thinking he has some kind of high ground to judge people from.
Vinny: "[Thrust] means pace, it means getting the ball out, it means getting your back to the sidelines, it means extending your outlets, it means getting the ball up the court into our early offense with plenty of time."
And there we have it....
It’s nice when people tell you up front to ignore their opinions because it comes from a place of complete irrationality.
