Bulls 96, Bobcats 88

PrintSince yfBB can't get something posted tonight and the other thread got so long, here's a very mini-recap.
Bulls played really well for most of the game, and in light of the win let's all just ignore that little stretch of crap around the start of the 4th, OK? Really great game for the starters, collectively, shooting 52.2% and all in double figure scoring. Of note, a season high scoring night for Kirk, and double-doubles for both Taj and Joakim.
With Toronto winning earlier, in spite of its best efforts to give the game away (and thanks a lot there, Philly!), this one was big. One last note - nice to see Tyrus play well and Larry Hughes play like crap.

latest out of Milwaukee
is that Bogut dislocation might not be as bad as it looked. I read “slight dislocation”.. could potentially just be a few weeks.
either that or

Good fro Milwaukee
I don’t have anything against their team, I actually still kinda like Skiles. As long as Bogut’s out on Tuesday, this team could use a break like that (no pun intended)

I can't wish Skiles bad
He did good things with the team while he was here. And it’s kind of awesome to see them with this turn around after everyone wrote the Bucks off without Redd.

You're probably right
This blog loves the Tyrus. My thoughts on the Tyrus trade is this: I really don’t care that much. He was not going to be signed in the summer, so we would’ve lost him anyways. But he would’ve definitely helped us with a playoff run. Our defense has clearly tailed off a bit ever since he left.

Agreed.
I just take pleasure in the silencing of people who think comparing Taj to Tyrus is like saying the earth is flat…

I'm saying if it keeps going
I want that debate to die. Tyrus is gone and Taj is here. Tonight I actually watched Tyrus and rooted against him for the first time since the trade. I’m just tired of the whole back and forth on it. I like Taj, he’s playing much better, let’s just leave it at that.

scary but possible
And maybe they don’t even believe that, and it just happens that JJ is the one who takes the money.
But then at the press conference they will mention Taj as reason not to address the frontcourt, and I’ll be angry.
That said Taj has been great the past couple weeks, and partially due to lack of options he’s one of my favs on the team now.

Two of the Bulls toughest games were the Cavs and Bucks.
With Cleveland clinching by then, we’ll be playin their B team and with Bogut out, that’s a very winnable game.
And with Toronto barely pulling out wins against the Wizards and Sixers, you can just see the difference in teams when starters play.

Just the landing…that big a dude landing that hard doesn’t look comfortable. Hope he’s all right, really. I like Bogut, as a person anyways. Squad 6 is something I wish a Bulls player would have thought of.

Bogut is very large. Amare is, too, but that’s sort of like Dwight Howard not catching Rose, except Rose isn’t gigantic.

looking at toronto’s schedule, unless they completely meltdown, they will probably go 3-4 (conservative estimate) to finish at 41-41 … meanwhile we have to go 5-1 (very possible though, as we get the three best teams at home) to go 42-40 since they have tiebreaker over us

They actually doubled up on a couple, so I think Kenny Smith was even ahead of Derrick, paired with Iverson, but I’m not sure. All in all it was pretty shitty imo,

9) Robert Pack
8) Derrick Rose
7) Allen Iverson
6) Russell Westbrook

Derrick's already got two dunks(Dragic and against the Hawks)
better than any of those guys on that list ever had, except for KJ bamming on Olajuwan. Webb, Robinson and Iverson never really posterized anybody, they were just little guys who occasionally got up. I’d say that when it’s all said and done, Derrick, Westbrook, Francis and KJ has the best in-game dunks.
We’ve all seen Derrick do his thing, but check this Westbrook dunk.
Metal sharpens metal.
And this guy right here understands and knows what leadership is all about: The coach, the hall of famer......... Dick Butka! George Ryan
The Bulls shrink like a dick in cold water.
Yea, Westbrook is nice
but not to sound too homerish, I think Rose has been far more impressive. I mean Rose even said that guys were coming up to him at the All Star game telling him how sick that Dragic dunk was.

Yea, that's exactly what I mean
there’s no wow factor with Westbrook. Maybe it’s because he looks more like a shooting guard, so it looks like he’s not up as high idk. But whenever I see Rose dunk my jaw just drops and I usually have to rewind it 10 times. Most of the time he’s straight Karate chopping the rim. It’s the combo of hops and power that makes his dunks so filthy

I see toronto going 3-4 in the last 7 games
The bulls have 6 games left and must keep winning. The only game that worry me is the cavs game, the rest the bulls can win.
This is one of the reason why noah is a bull and tyrus isn't
Noah is a smarter basketball player and knows his role on a team, but tyrus still doesn’t or will always be clueless on how to play team basketball and smart basketball.
i think its just a difference of a drive
noah wants to win, and wanted to be good, no matter what anyone else does (or in this case doesnt) do for him. Tyrus probably wanted to win and wanted to be good too (who doesnt?…oh larry hughes) but unlike noah he really needed direction due to his rawness (noah played ball as a kid, and probably had less athleticism to rely on, whereas tyrus was probably always an athletic freak who found good use once in college) tyrus has the potential to be great, but he needs direction and guidance and he never got it, noah probably got just as much help but had more of a desire to find the answers himself. It sucks that the organizations way of helping out players with potential is to put them in dire situations and work their way out of it, but i can at the very least understand the philosophy…i think thats what they did with rose,..prove to us ure a star, were gonna take away everything that could help u on this team, a real coach, real plays, real players, and lets see if u can win, if u win, ure a star, if u lose, ure a bust…now go…

Isn't it amazing...
…how awesome point differential is in determining relative success?
Don’t sleep on San Antonio this Spring.
In the past 10 years, just four team owners have not paid a luxury tax and are not on pace to pay one this year: Donald Sterling, Jerry Reinsdorf, Chris Cohen (Golden State), Bob Johnson (Charlotte).
Two owners’ teams averaged an operating income of over +$10 million per year while their teams have lost over 60% of their games: Donald Sterling and Jerry Reinsdorf.
Especially not with Manu playing out of his mind and healthy at the end of the year for the first time in a couple years.
I keep saying this, but it bears repeating, if the Bulls are targeting a SG and can’t land Wade, Manu, not JJ, should be the target. He’s better than JJ and will command fewer years, because he’ll be retiring in probably 3 years.
Kirk Hinrich sucks. The end.
by fundamentallysound on Apr 4, 2010 11:52 AM CDT up reply actions
Manu is a great player
when healthy. But, the Bulls would be absolutely crazy for targeting Manu if they intend on him to be the only player they sign this summer. He is going to be 33 years old this summer and has become injury prone the last couple seasons. He probably has only one productive, maybe two seasons left.
I would not mind them getting a Boozer + Manu combo if they fail on Bosh, LeBron, or Wade, though.

Agreed
Although I don’t think boozer + Manu will be affordable. Lee + Manu is a better bet. Or, not to blow your mind, but how about ginobili, camby and al harrington?
Brad Miller is god.
S+T for either Boozer or Manu
than sign the other one outright would work. I could see the Jazz taking on two years left of Hinrich’s decreasing contract and James Johnson for Boozer (Maybe not, actaully). I would be fine with Lee also. Lee is a good fit with Noah IMO. Lee is always playing center for the undersized Knicks, but he really is a PF. Lee even recorded a 37 points, 20 rebs, and 10 dimes the other night (even though it was against the Warriors).
Getting Ginobili, Camby, and Harrington would be horrible. Those guys are all over the age of 30 and none of them could be a fixture in our starting lineup for at least the next 3-4 years. I have never been a fan of Harrington anyways, even though he is rumored to be a Bull every single trade deadline.

You keep saying it
and I will keep agreeing.
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."
I truly believe with all my heart and all my knowledge

ALSO worth noting
Lakers loss means Cleveland has now clinched the NBA’s best record.
LeBron should be resting during both Raptors and Bulls games.

Yea that sucked that the Lakers lost
Knowing our luck, Bron will sit out against the Raps then play against the Bulls on TNT. Which will put Mike Brown at the top of my shit list

Don't worry, as long as noah is starting and playing, the bulls will win
I’m pretty sure vinny will put noah on bosh, so he won’t score 42 points on the bulls.
The bulls have a little easier schedule left
The bulls have to play the bucks without their center, nets, bobcats again, toronto, boston and another team.
unless bobcats/boston/raps really bring it

1 more week, just one more painfull week!
Tyrus would play 20 minutes
and the game would hinge on how Captain Jack played.
*BTW, I always forget S-Jax’s first name … hwo you spell it, steven or stephen, which makes the large amount of nicknames really helpful.
Go Rockets/Nets[CDR]/Bucks[Jennings]!
Was watching the Raps game on NBA TV
Wow awesome ending. Turiaf givith….and Turiaf taketh away….AWESOME! Threw a stupid inbounds pass and then blocked Bosh on his layup attempt. Bosh couldn’t have dunked because Turiaf was right there. Bulls only 2 games back now (including tie breaker). Toronto is going down!!!
