My second year with season tix this season. IMO.
Crowd is very loud for the playoffs…and usually for big regular season games or in the fourth quarter of any close game. Games like tonight, pretty tame. It is what it is, but my guess is that the Bulls crowd is probably on par with the average NBA crowd.
I would actually say it's probably better than the average crowd
simply because they do fill the place every night, but it’s a step below places lie Boston, NYC, OKC, Golden State and maybe a few others that I’m forgetting. You’d just think that with Chicago being a sports crazy place, it would be louder on most nights.
But like I said, it’s really the Scalabrine stuff that bugs me

ive never liked the acoustics of the uc
to be honest, i always heard that chicago stadium due to all the wood still used in its architecture had great acoustics, never been so i dont know.
I do know that the 300 level is crazy rowdy, but i think its less noticeable if you arent in that section. The 200 level has your mixtures of casual fans, and the 100 level are usually the guys who dont know much about the bulls and scored great seats.
I also figure there are a lot more fans like me, im not really a loud guy, but i do more physical expressions of joy. When theres a bucket made i usually do a clap or a mini fist shake while muttering the effectiveness of the move or play. When theres a big play i usually do a full on fist pump. And on spectacular plays i jump out of my seat. But im not loud.
I think its sort of terrible to just gauge how ‘good’ a crowd is just on how loud people are….i think its more important to be loud when the team needs you to be loud, bad calls, close games, etc, as opposed to just be loud the whole game for the sake of public appearance or something.

To your last point
Routinely the loudest cheer of the night is for Scalabrine, which is not good imo.
And I don’t need the crowd to be like hillbilly OKC where they stand the whole time. Here’s what I would like to see more of from the UC crowd, personally:
- When we make a nice run, and the other team calls a time out, get on your feet and applaud as they go to the huddle.
- When guys that have played really well come off the court, particulalrly at the end of the game, give them a loud ass ovation. Even Derrick when he plays amazing just gets a smattering of applause. Usually this is when everyone is screaming for Scalabrine, so no one gives a shit if Derrick just scored 40 and played 45 minutes.
- If you MUST do the Scalabrine chants (I’ll admit, they can be fun at times) do it when the game is absolutely over. None of this bullshit in the third quarter when we’re up by 20. Or up by 10 in the fourth
- Also, I’d like to see the crowd get more into it in big spots earlier in games. It seems like they only go full blast if the game is tight in the last 5 minutes. (When we’re playing good teams and they have a guy at the line, or it’s the end of the first half in a tight game etc.)
Other than that, I really don’t have much of an issue. I’ve been to the UC a shitload of times, and sat all over the place. I know it’s a bit different when you’re there, and I know it is different in the 300 level. But I also know that it’s still not all that great.
I’ve sat next to guys that were a lot more outspoken than me, and they’d be standing during playoff games imploring people in the area to get loud because it can get VERY quiet at times. So I’m not just basing this off CSN feeds.
Sadly, my self worth is almost entirely based upon the outcome of the previous night's Bulls game.

rebuttle
-i think rose said it best, chicago fans are spoiled (with winning). If the bulls go on a 10-0 run against the heat, or the thunder, or last years celtics or lakers, then yea i say this happens, ive been at games when this has happened. But against a team like the cavs or the bobcats, teams that we all know have no right to be on the floor as us. blowing them out or going on a 10-0 run against teams like that is almost expected. Thats how i feel any way. I’m not gonna get super hyped up if a movie plays out the way i expected it to, no one does.
-Again i think this is just due to bad acoustics and thibs. Thibs because he often keeps the guys who made huge impacts on the game, in the game, very late. Late enough that scal is coming in at the same time, and so if there is a loud pop for those leaving the courts, its hidden/transitioned into cheers for scal.
-You want the crowd to be loud, but then not loud in the 3rd. The chants for scal to me is saying “way to go you whupped their ass so bad that we can put scal in now” and so to me its always seemed like praising the team. Its so good that you could put scal in early and not fear losing.
-I think people at the uc respond quite well to big plays, so im not sure what to say about this.
Ive never sat in the 200 level, but ive sat in the 100 level and 300 level plenty of times. To my experience the better the seats the more you have people who only are at the game because they had a hookup as opposed to saving up to get those tickets. So alot of the people who sit near the sides of the court on the 100 levels are those ‘yuppies’ people were talking about above. I sat next to an old high school friend i hadnt talked to sense high school on my last time sitting in the 100 level. The guy came with a mess of people and had no idea if memphis was a good team and asked me who was good on their team. I broke down the guys and he just shrugged not knowing a single person. You do get those people
In the 300 level its different, you get middle aged women yelling “YEA GET EM ROSE!!!” and stuff all game, screaming at the refs and its funny and its awesome, and its like everytime in the 300 level. But in both sections, during big plays, during big moments, during close moments, you feel it in the crowd, this unison desire to Wee-Un

Yup, the 300 level is a blast as far as fan interaction
I’ve never sat in the 200’s either (although I did for a Springsteen concert a couple years ago), so I wouldn’t know.
The 100 level is obviously great because of proximity to the court, but there’s definitely a lot more people sitting on their hands. Although I have noticed (and I don’t know if this is just in games I’ve been to) that sitting behind the baskets in the 100 level there’s a lot more fan support than sitting courtside.
And just one complaint with your rebuttal: I don’t see at all how cheering for Scalabrine in the third is viewed as a positive. I don’t care how much you’re up, the game is almost never over in the third, and Thibs would never go to Scalabrine that early anyway (barring injury). To me, it makes the fans sound disinterested, and probably lulls the players into thinking that the game is over, when it really isn’t.

honestly, the UC is bigger than any of those you mentioned
and it actually is the physically largest arena in the US (though not largest capacity) – so it’s pretty cavernous and the acoustics, as picc says, aren’t good because of that. it’s tough to get it as loud in there as some places. the garden only has 2 levels and it makes a huge difference.

Boozer was trying to get post position there at the end and he did take it strong to the rim--he needs to do that as he is the Bulls best post player

So I always defend both. Just hate it how Boozer lives and dies by the jumpshot. It’s not just the whole if he misses or hits, but could easily be getting people in foul trouble
I wasn't saying you didn't defend either one of them BTW...
And yeah, while I agree with your point about jumpers, what works works, and I also think he’s afraid of getting hurt when he drives.

Now, will there be a chris richards sighting soon? Who knows, but I am pleased with Asik, and the way our benchmob is handling this. Lets hope Luol keeps his ironman status going, and recovers quickly and can play with it wrapped..

i feel brad miller is mentoring kevin love, which i think is the big reason they wanted him
the veterans min is 1.3 million, which would put us about 600k above the tax. It would still be dollar for dollar, and honestly i dont think jr has any reason to not pay that, its such a measley amount. Hell if he really were all that stingy, you could just waive scal, and turn him into an assistant, or whatever

these games without rose give us fans purpose to watch
Me and my cousin were talking about how once the season started and we saw the bulls we realized that at this point its not even a question of us being an elite team going into the playoffs, to the point where regular season seems a bit monotonus. We know the bulls are gonna make it to the playoffs, and even the games they lose, its more like…MEH. The only team that we question if we can beat is miami, and beating miami comes down to far more than rose.
i think these games have allowed us to better critique the team and see whats there and whats missing, and its nice rooting for some of the role players and watching them get the chance to succeed. Obviously rose is needed for us to be a true elite team, but i think this whole stint is good for the fan base, and possibly for the role players on the team, they should know that without rose they can win. To be honest, im hoping for more closer games, so we can see guys come through in pressure as well without rose.

I don’t understand why he wouldn’t play with the team short handed.
He’s been playing good.
He must have a bad attitude or done something to be on Thibs shitlist.

something seems strange though.
Asik got minutes last year. So I don’t think it’s just a rookie thing. He looks good when he plays. I don’t understand. But maybe Thibs is smarter than all of us (likely). Or maybe Thibs is pissed at him (possible).
Korver!
Back in the doghouse with you!
he gets too many fouls...
he reserves him for the right moments and if he has like 4 fouls in the game, hes practically useless.
look asik is the only other center
other than noah, so when noah is not playing asik is the only one who can really fill the role, after that kurt thomas, boozer, and taj are all a bit ‘small’ for that spot. Thats really why asik got minutes last year
For butler at least korver and brewer are ahead of him ON THE BENCH, while deng is always going to get as many minutes needed to win the game it seems. Its really not that hard to see the minutes distribution, korver and brewer were getting almost 20 minutes each, they might have reduced roles and minutes this year, but they still bring quite a bit to the table and deserve at LEAST 12 minutes (thats just half a quarter each half) a game. When you consider that luol deng and rip IDEALLY should be playing about 35 minutes, thats 94/96 minutes used. IDEALLY….
Obviously dengs been going well over the 35 minute mark, so its easy to see that butler doesnt get burn.
if deng sits, we should see butler

Would Brewer start if Deng is out?

With the amount of energy he expends when he is out there
I think you’re better served by limiting his minutes anyway. What’s really important to me is that in the final 3 minutes when Lebron is guarding Rose, Hamilton is available to guard Wade and to take advantage or whatever mismatch or open space is preseented.

This is an interesting exchange mentioned in the article
“Thibs was just like ‘Try, try everything,’” Noah said. “I went in and got treatment early this morning. Came for shootaround early. Did all the treatment. Tried to just get layup lines and all that, I just had no push. But it will come back quick.”
I’m not going to rehash the Thibs-Rose injury thing again, because I’ve made my case here several times. I just hope Thibs doesn’t burn the players out or unnecessarily push injured guys to return too soon, and instead sees the big picture this season. WIth that said, I can understand that Thibs was likely in a slight panic with Rose, Taj, and JL3 out already, and was probably just hoping Noah could go.
meh
if thibs wanted to push noah into playing, i think noah would be playing. it seems like thibs asked noah to see if he could play (cuz they really do need him) and he couldnt give it a go. Thats what i get from it,

keep noah and deng out till wed, sign joel...
let our guys be ready for the crucial road trip coming next week.
i was at the UC tonight
i didn’t listen to ESPN on the way home though. any update on Noah/Rose/Deng/Gibson?
i know we’re winning, but we can’t keep that up with three of our four best players, and our 6th man out.
noah was supposed to play
but i guess at gametime decided he didnt want to, his foot probably swelled up a bit or something, or maybe he didnt want to revert back to noah (although now with a legit reason too) while also risking re-injury.
Rose supposedly practiced in the shootaround, but obviously its probably best to rest him as long as possible and get him 100%
Deng sprained his wrist late in the game, he much like noah probably could still play however i think he and the team will decided to sit him cuz theres really no point for him to have a reinjury.
Gibson had a high ankle sprain, so he actually is probably going to be out for a few weeks.
On the radio chuck swirsky mentioned when talking to cj, that cj had said he was actually far from 100% and that the elbow was very sore after every game, but he knows his team needs him out there while rose is gone and so he was gonna continue to play as long as his elbow could hold up. If you look at the padding cj has, i mean, thats a ton of padding…..
The depth might not be as important in the playoffs, but right now our depth is really helping us, its not even about winning our games, the team can literally keep running competetively and so our key guys can actually be told to be patient and heal correctly And thats gonna pay dividends come may
consider a lineup of
James/Jl3
brewer/korver/butler
korver/butler/scal
boozer/scal
Asik/free agent
that is probably the worst lineup possible right now, and i think it could still compete

if we have to resort to that...and it looks like we might in the next game...i just hope Boozer and Korver can pull it out.
The Cavs and Bobcats don’t have any superstar players. The Nets do. And if we’re still this depleted when we play Miami, we’ll lose by 60.
not to take away from the good shorthanded win today. but i am starting to get worried. we're deep, but we aren't infinitely deep, and our key guys are dropping like flies.
I just hope Hamilton, Korver, Watson, and Boozer can hold down the fort.
we still have watson and rip
so we won’t have to resort to that YET…

the bulls need to be careful this week and need to at least get Noah and Deng ready vs the pacers. Let them heal up the next 4 days…
I may be misjudging just how bad the Nets suck
but I don’t think we could roll the same lineup out there that we did tonight and expect to win. They might have a terrible record, but they have some players on that team. I’d like to see either Rose or Noah out there if at all possible

i know the nets do have some solid players (not named williams)...
brooks, and humphries come to mind. However, I think with Rip, CJ, and Booz and our defense we would still beat the nets.
not to rush guys back, but we seem to be losing major rotation guys every day
and i’m starting to fear the announcement that one/some/all of them will be back “after the all star break”
i guess thats the only thing allowing me to stay relatively postive
is the fact that no one seems to have a really bad injury. Honestly, i think cj has the worst injury on our entire team, i think if monday was a playoff game, everyone would be playing. i think alot of the time off is more to keep the risk of re-injury down.

But really, it’s only that Lebron’s playing out this of world right now. If he keeps this up for a full season, it’ll go down as one of the best single seasons anyone’s ever had (possibly the best). I mean, seriously, when has a non-big ever shot 56% from the floor for a sustained period of time? If he plays like this in the playoffs, Miami’s winning it all, but Shane Battier and Mike Miller have very little to do with that.

Yeah, it's like everything he flips up goes in. Three's, layups, whatever.
Add to that it seems like every game he has 9 or 10 rebounds or assists, and 3 steals and 3 blocks, it’s just insanity. If that guy had MJ-like drive, I think he’d already have 2 or 3 rings

- Carlos Boozer after cancelling an interview with a Sports Illustrated reporter because his wife was expecting him home.
for a period there the cavs had success againt those celtics teams. i think what eventually
happened is that the celtics were able to psych out and stifle every non-lebron cav to the point where lebron himself finally lost it. those cavs teams were not mentally tough at all, which is one reason why the heat’s chances look so much better. wade, haslem, battier, chalmers, these guys arent scared of anything, and while lebron doesnt seem like the kind of guy who can impart toughness and fearlessness to a team, i do think he is the kind of guy whose confidence thrives when surrounded by gamers.

looking at the boxscore for the miami game, it looks like a big reason philly got beat was iggy. I dont know if the heat just did a great job of shutting him down or what, but he only played 28 minutes, and really didnt do anything but turn the ball over 3 times. Being that he is their main offensive focal point, no question the heat won.
Im very eager to see our team play miami, more so, im more interested to see thibs system vs the miami heat, i dont care if rose or deng or noah play or not, i just wanna see the system, especially on defense, play against the heat….

He pretty much owned Boston in the playoffs until whatever happened between Games 3 and 4 in 2010.

But Magic was able to rely on Kareem and James Worthy to take pressure off of him. Magic’s USG% never went over 26.3. Lebron’s got a 33.3 USG% right now.

That has a lot to do with his FG%… he is bringing it back with feel, not with attempts, per se.

any of these could cost them a championship
1. Wade/James/Bosh/Haslem+Cole/Cole+Chalmers/Haslem+Battier/etc injury
2. Wade/James not shooting 90% from three with 5 or less on the shot clock in the ECF or Finals
3. Bosh not shooting 95% on jumpers with 2 or less on the shot clock in the ECF of Finals
4. Battier/Cole/Chalmers/Miller missing a run-continuing (or opponent run stopping) on the road
5. The refs stop winning games (sometimes by themselves) for Miami
6. LeBron not getting chase-down blocks
7. Opposing PF’s not fouling out in 10 minutes against LeBron post-ups
how likely any of that is of happening is anyone’s guess and yes, with their athleticism and favoritism from the officials they are the overwhelming favorite. but it is possible they don’t go all the way.

Miami and Chicago are headed towards a collision in the playoffs.

yeah I've seen him jump on Defense more this season than last season
he also makes more deflection when he’s in the middle of the zone. He’s still below avg defender, but the effort has improved A lot
I would actually dare to call him "average"
he has good hands on steals, but no jumping for blocks. His effort is now consistent for closing out… but he’s still way too slow. Overall, I’d call him average. But it’s remarkable how much an improvement “average” is from “jesus christ why is he playing pro basketball?”.

I wanna know how we are this injury depleted
and yet Jimmy still gets absolutely no time. Give the guy some experience so that we know what we got in him please.
The Bulls haven't been injury depleted at the 3 spot
which is what Butler plays. Injuries to Rose, Watson, Lucas, Taj, Noah, and even Hamilton do absolutely nothing to improve Butler’s prospects. He has 3 people ahead of him, 2 of whom play less minutes than they’d probably like.
There is no reason to gripe about Butler’s minutes.. They know what they have in him. Emergency depth who won’t see any meaningful minutes unless multiple people are injured. No matter what he does, he’s not passing any healthy players on the depth chart this year.
Well, Deng spent a lot time at PF
so its not accurate to say some minutes have opened up. And I think the reason he doesn’t play is because Thibs does NOT know what he has in him. Extremely short training camp, 2 practices since Dec, no playing time in games – Thibs probably can’t be sure Butler knows the plays. I think that is why he doesn’t play.

The Celtics are horrible
How did they get so bad, so fast?
Sadly, my self worth is almost entirely based upon the outcome of the previous night's Bulls game.
The window of being crafty, experienced to out of shape and washed up is pretty short.
To extend it you need to play with enough younger players that you can coast and not be the focal point of the team at all. Celts just never brought in anyone that could do that. I know…the salaries the old men generate make it difficult to impossible. That’s just what happens with a “veteran” team like they have. I liked the old Celtics winners, probably because the Bulls weren’t a rival much to them at all. Makes me think it was a shame a few years ago they weren’t able to bring in a big man to give them a few more years of relevance. It wouldn’t matter now if they did.

They have no depth anymore and their two best players can't move.
Rondo is a good player but you can’t build a team around him, Allen is a good scorer but he can’t take games over.

Good points here.
I think it’s one or two years at most until they have to blow up the team like the Bulls did after their last championship. Rondo is probably the only starter that will be around. They’ve been fooling themselves to think after being inferior in the playoffs last year that yet another year for older players would somehow make it better.

They've been trying radical moves since last year
trading Kendrick Perkins midyear to get young talent at the wing position. Then they tried hard to get Paul before this season, because they knew the needed somebody new to build around. Now, they’ve said they’ll trade anybody on their roster.
One thing i’ll give to Ainge. He’s a realist about how good his roster is, and how urgent it is to shake things up. He saw this coming even when most Celtics fans were willing to keep the roster intact last year.
Yeah, I tend to think that they were pretty bad last year, but no one noticed because they beat a shit Knicks team in the playoffs

H’e not Rose caliber. Athletically? Yes. But something is missing. That’s what I can’t figure out. He can go from reckless and stupid to spectacular in the blink of an eye

I actually think Rose landed in a very good situation, which helped him thrive
He had a young and energetic core combined with a few vets, on a team that was not completely atrocious. He also had a coach known as a good communicator with a simple system (VDN has many shortcomings, but he seemed well liked by the players), and he didn’t have the pressure to be ‘the man’ from day one (see Ben Gordon). He also was home and surrounded himself with his family. Basically, Rose was thrust into a situation where he could: learn, grow incrementally, and have support (both via players and family). All this and Rose didn’t fully take off until his third year (and a team redesign).
Wall had none of these advantages.
Oh, I'd say they had pretty similar advantages:

It's actually really simple
He flat out can’t shoot jumpers, which makes him extremely limited in the half-court. Even before he expanded his range out to the 3-pt line, Rose was always to hit those 16-23ft jumpers (43% and 44% from that range his first two years, respectively), which meant that you can’t just sag off him all the time or go under every screen.
Wall, on the other hand, is shooting only 22% from 16-23 ft this year. Yet he still takes 5 of those shots per game, go figure. It’s the same problem that Tyreke Evans has. Meanwhile, Kyrie Irving’s lighting the world on fire because he can hit those shots. Sometimes, basketball is a really simple game: you can either make shots or you can’t. Evans and Wall need to spend more time in the gym working on their shots, or they’ll never reach their potential as dynamic number one scoring options.

Yeah, that's a great point
That certainly has a lot to do with it.

But more than that, it's almost like he's unable to play an NBA game
I’m sure some of that has to do with being young, but with him, it’s like he’s either amazing, or garbage. He doesn’t control the game at all

That's also true
But it’s a lot harder to control the game when your defender always has the option of backing up 3 feet and daring you to shoot.
Pat Riley is the devil.
No doubt

I mean that's a cool video
But I’m not sure it’s the most effective sales pitch in the world. It basically says “come to Chicago, we’re desperate”.
Pat Riley is the devil.
It appeals to his "I'm Superman, I get to save the day!" persona.
It was made after the ECF so it was desperate, too.
