Fewest points by a team in a game this season?

70 by the Nets against the Lakers. So much for that mark.

We play on the "bad" side of town, we were supposedly cursed, and we wear black. Let's play.

totally agree

i went to the game in boston (booz’s second game) when the chants started for him lol… and even though the bulls were about to lose i still wanted him to make the final shot. ridiculous though them chanting for someone on the other team hahaha

Sure, they beat a better team by more points than what the Heat did to Charlotte, but still…

Seemed like he was a chucker when he was in games. He didn’t seem very engaged, and didn’t seem to be much of a team player, from what I saw.

Plus,

it seems like the current Bulls brass is high on hard-working gym rats who keep their heads down and work hard. I just don’t see Arenas fitting that mold, no matter how much talent, or how much he might have left in the tank. (I also don’t think he has that much left in the tank, by the way, given multiple knee injuries.)

by paddyfairview on Jan 1, 2012 9:59 PM CST up reply actions  

Yeah definitely fits Cousins more so

But if you think about it, the Bulls brass & Thibs have gone to great lengths to create a very specific vibe in the locker room, where everyone buys in, no one does his own thing, everyone works his ass off. And a lot of these guys are kind of young, too.

I just can’t imagine them risking all of that by bringing in a guy who’s a little bit of a head case, a little bit of a lone wolf, and a guy who is used to being able to freelance offensively. Plus, he’s got this horrible blemish on his record in terms of “character”, which the Bulls value so highly.

Heck, I myself would warn Rose to stay the hell away from him if I could. There is literally nothing he could add that would be good or constructive, that would not be outweighed by the risk. I mean, if there is, I can’t think of it.

Can't imagine that Aflalo and Andre Miller were that good on D...

Maybe his injury(ies) are finally catching up with him?

Afflalo is damn good on defense

which is why people wanted him so badly. Kobe may be sore, but his injuries don’t make him shoot it 28 times if he’s not feeling right. He could have given it to Gasol or Bynum instead.

Wow, I had no idea.

That sounds pretty impressive—will get around to looking at his defensive stats eventually, I think.

That does make sense, tho, since a lot of ppl on here, and some pundits as well, seemed to think he was the best fit for the Bulls this off-season.

good to hear

and glad they have the day off. well from a game at least lol

Look
I didn’t want to offend anyone by saying the "f" word or generalizing my statement to any particular sex by saying "gays" or lesbians" or "bi’s" so "homos" is the most "politically correct" term. I’m just trying to be more tact in a tactless blog.

i still feel bulls should have signed tmac

he could be trusted with pg duties….although i think jl3 can be trusted with 10 min a game, rip should be back as well.. Korver…put him on the trading block

I dont care what the D.N.A. Says, the Guy wearing number 12 Cannot be Kirk Hinrich, he is definetly Kurt. Kirk can actually play basketball!

by piccolomair on Jan 1, 2012 9:52 PM CST reply actions  

Tmac would have solved that problem

It’ll be more like 6 min a game for Lucas if the game is close.

All we can do now is pray for blowouts.

McGrawDHBulls C.J. Watson has left elbow sprain, MRI tomorrow. Sounds like it won’t be too bad.

KC:
CJ in a sling. Noah said he thinks he’s out awhile. Thibs said X-rays negative and they’ll know more on Monday. #Bulls

McGrawDHBulls Bulls are always reluctant to add a new personality to locker room, so I’d say there’s very little chance of a C.J. replacement.

Not gon happen

Sadly, my self worth is almost entirely based upon the outcome of the previous night's Bulls game.

by Juiceboxjerry on Jan 1, 2012 10:25 PM CST up reply actions  

Yeah, but mostly

the Bulls will not bring in anyone that has even the slightest possibility of having a personal agenda. Personally, I think they’ll ride with Lucas for a few games just to see if he’s capable. Unless he’s a complete disaster (or CJ’s injury is REALLY serious), that’ll probably be the guy.

...

Yeah, he was backup PG for one game, and I rarely blame a game on one player, but that game, was all his fault. CJ played his ass off, and from what I remember, Noah was like 20-15. and Deng was like 25-10. EVERYONE played their asses off, and Lucas screwed it up.

THEO!

They'll do a 'Caleb Haney', eh?

I just hope John Lucas III doesn't also do a 'Caleb Haney'...

Is it true that Thibs is not under contract for next year?

If so, that needs to change, like now.

Oh, alright

I was gonna say, I can’t believe that story hasn’t gotten more burn. Still, they should probably lock him up soon. He definitely deserves it.
