amare doesnt rebound, defend or keep the ball flowing offensively. he is worse than worthless without an elite PnR PG holding his hand.he has a 15 PER

it is no exaggeration to say that i would not trade taj for STAT straight up even if money were no object.

Rose shouldn’t even be playing. Turf toe is serious and he shouldn’t be out there period…and he especially shouldn’t be out the in a blowout against the Nets. Where’s Williams for the Nets? On the damn bench.

Winning a title gets you in the pantheon.

It’s amazing enough that a 22/8/5 with multiple dunks and acrobatic layups is just another day in the life of Derrick Rose. There were a lot of people who doubted he could be this good.

I've always liked him.

He plays smart, is in the right place at the right time, makes the correct pass, always seems to hit a big shot. etc. I think he should always be used for quality minutes.

I had to miss the pregame.

Any news from the Bulls about the wrist other than a negative X Ray?

Not really. Sounds like it's a pretty serious injury, but made less so by the fact that it's on his left wrist

Sounds like he’s debating playing through it, or getting surgery (no one knows how long he’ll be out with surgery, although many think they do)

I know Lu is the glue and all, but out of our best players, I think he's the most dispensable

Not that I don’t think he’s incredibly valuable (particularly in the playoffs in guarding great players), but his offense has been very sub par, and you can win a lot of games offensively with the team that we’ll throw out there without him

Also doesn’t hurt that we’re stacked at his position

I disagree

Yeah, but like I said, that's why Lu is more valuable in the playoffs

I was talking about players that we couldn’t afford to lose during the regular season. By no means do I think that Lu is not a very good player, I just think he’s one of our good players that we can lose, and still be ok

I took it as you saying we could get rid of Deng and be fine

I’m sure the Bulls will manage during his injury, but he would be a tremendous loss for the season/playoffs.

Not the case at all

I specifically said that “during the regular season” he’s “the most dispensable, of our BEST players”. Not sure how that’s a huge knock. I just think that out of Jo, Derrick, Boozer and Rip, Lu is the guy that can get hurt for a period of time, and we’d notice the least slippage. It will still hurt a ton, and if he’s out for the season, its a killer. Don’t see how that’s a very critical statement. I think people are a little too touchy sometimes

i mean “of our good players he’s the most dispensable”? the guy who does everything? and averages double-digit scoring on top of it? the guy we’ve been selling as an all-star all season? i dont get it

When did I say he's the weak link?

Bogans was a weak link. Lu is a huge reason why we’re so good. He will be missed, no doubt. Particularly against the better teams. And really, it’s more of a commentary on how deep this team is.

look after 4 weeks of no one cutting the bigs any slack and Lu being everywhere at once

we thump a crappy, guard-heavy team while he sits (and jo and booz both play well), i open the thread and the first thing i see is “Lu is dispensable, his offense is sub-par anyway.” if you mean the team’s deep i agree, but it seemed like a silly conclusion

Well, maybe it came out wrong

Did not mean for it to sound as though I don’t think he’s a valuable member of the team. I was actually trying to be positive in saying that we’re gonna be ok if he’s out for a little bit

It bothers me that the front office doesn't `choose to have a say with injuries.

I can understand staying out of other areas. Injuries, it ssems to me, is a legitimate area of concern for the front office.

He took his what to where?!

by hlac on Jan 23, 2012 9:48 PM CST up reply actions  

Doc had the same issues their first title year but yeah he adapted pretty quickly.

At this point Thibs should be close enough with his best players to kind of realize when players need rest whether they ask for it or not. Of course Rose wants to play through it all, but that doesn’t make it ok to keep him out there.

by Ozzie Montana on Jan 23, 2012 9:53 PM CST up reply actions  

man im trying to find it but having no success

i believe it was this espn editorial story, like 3 pages all about thibs and his background. At one poiint it talks about tom as an assistant to doc rivers, i believe in the story the celtics are losing, by 12 with 8 minutes left to go, and thibs is kinda yelling at the starters, big 3 namely, to play defense and stuff, and doc eventually calls a timeout. Thibs if i remember right had this gameplan set that would bring them back, and doc says no, i think im gonna sit them. And he does, and the celtics end up losing that game, but then they played a real good team (i dont remember) the next game and they absolutely destroyed them….

Basically doc recalls that story and suggests that sometimes thibs gets so into imagining the plays and scouting reports that he forgets the idea that the players are human, and that a little rest can go a long way….

The story basically then has a line for thibs who says he considers that moment the day he realized he wasnt ready to coach, and thats why he remained a celtics assistant for another two years. He suggests he lacked docs insight

Im thinking someone needs to remind thibs of that story….

damn i wish i could remember the link

Fluke game.

No Ray Allen or Rondo, Celtics went on a huge run (at one point 19-1, maybe even more than that but I turned away) and didn’t look back.

No worries....

No worries for the Bulls in this game. Even with all the injuries to key role players and potential Eastern Allstar Loul Deng the Bulls hadto much depth for the Nets. Most of the Bulls off the bench guys would be starters for the Nets. Rose seem to be back and running, not as explosive as a 100% Rose but he still got the job done.
