Bulls vs. Boston Celtics: Game Preview #32

[Thanks to paddyfairview for today's game preview. BaB needs more previewers over the next couple of weeks, so sign up! Game Thread at 7 -yfbb]

Things we "learned" from Bulls-Celtics on Sunday:

1. John Lucas III possesses a unique NBA skill: the ability to move farther away from the hoop as he "drives"

2. Carlos Boozer defends the paint like a six year old who has to pee

3. Not playing makes Derrick Rose look like someone shot his dog [I still maintain he always looks like that -yfbb]

4. Omer Asik, whose offensive game might be described as, "like Kevin McHale's, only the exact opposite", takes so long to go up with the basketball that he can't buy a call, even when he's getting hammered, apparently because the refs just don't feel sorry for him

5. Between Stone Hands Taj and Lu's off night, there were so many rim-outs that I couldn't decide whether Rondo actually steals talent or Pedro Cerrano has switched sports.

6. ...and that's before we get to Ronnie Brewer, who shoots at the rim like he's Vinnie Jones and the hoop is Boris the Bullet Dodger (NSFW language)

7. Your 2011-12 Chicago Bulls, possibly the weirdest collection of misfits and half-complete players to have ever led the NBA in anything, let alone wins, has enough scrap and hustle in them to stay in games to the bitter, bitter end nearly all the time.

Star-divide

Don't worry, I'm not going to get all misty-eyed. Giving up a colossal triple double to Rajon Rondo rightfully sends all of us to DEFCON 1, while CJ's late game decision making (rush up a bad three with a full clock, then dribble around as time runs out?) and Booz's defense could make the Dalai Lama throw a remote at his dog. But there's at least a little validation of the Gospel of GarPax in Sunday's performance. THese guys might not shoot so well, and might lack playmakers even when the abysmal two-PG backcourt of CJ and JLIII is on the floor, but MAN do they give a shit.

And that's good news. Because right now, even if Rose's back is making "gametime decision" into nothing more than a Thibs mind game, somewhere in the Berto, Joakim Noah is saying rude things about Kevin Garnett's mother, Thibs has been on the treadmill for 24 straight hours in the video room, and Luol Deng is putting razor blades into his sock in case Rondo grabs at his bad wrist again. These guys are more blue collar than Bruce Springsteen, the dad from Everybody Hates Chris and Chuckie from Good Will Hunting* combined. The Martian may be marching his gang of spiteful geriatrics on Chicago, but I have no doubt the Bulls will be ready when they get here.

*[Yep. Blow me, Boston.]

Some Stuff:

- KG missed the double-digit loss at home to the Pistons (ouch) last night; no official word yet but since it was a late scratch I'm guessing he plays.

- Jermaine O'Neal is back, which should strike fear into the hearts of no one, while Brandon Bass is still out.

- Rondo and Chris Wilcox continue to play well together, in general but especially in transition. Rondo put up 35 in the loss, while Wilcox had 17 and 9.

- KC tweeted earlier that the Bulls now have the best winning percentage in the NBA, despite their 5 starters not playing together in nearly 6 weeks. A sort-of feel good stat, I guess.

- Noah's been on a tear lately, averaging 17 points and 11 boards in his last four games. Hopefully this is a sign of what we can expect going forward from #13. He was also on PTI yesterday talking about how much he loves playing in Chicago, and I for one will shed a tear if we trade him for Dwight's flakey ass. Lower your weapons, I'm not saying I'm against a Howard trade, but I'd hate to see Lu or Jo go before they had another shot at beating the Heat. Then, in June, if we're not celebrating a title, we can march on JR's house (or yacht, or whatever) and demand a trade. I'm partial to this one:

If the Celtics win tonight I'll scream.

They just aren’t that good. Rose or no Rose, the Bulls should win.

Funny, my nine year old daughter noticed that Boozer looks like he wants to pee when he shoots foul shots.

No mention of Watson’s bad game in Boston? It wasn’t just his last shot that was bad.

A lot of those guys over there think Rondo needs to be traded like yesterday while some gm's think he is good...

that he is not a top five point guard (maybe not top ten with some of them), he is the problem, ect. The big 3 over there were old last year—at the beginning of last year no matter what they do from here on. Maybe DA is right about not doing what Red A. did back in the day (hanging on to long) although if he does not do something soon, he just may be doing that.

its not that they dont think that hes good

its that some think he isnt worth building around, theres a handful really that think he sucks, but its a small number. But i checked out their little thread from after the detroit game last night, and i almost went on a rant about that, i eventually went with a post that was more P.C.

But this is also a fanbase that wanted to hold onto rondo over cp3….and yea…see how thats working out for them

No one outside of Boston is thinking this.

Three weeks ago talk radio was more like (paraphrasing to match your style here) “There’s been a lot of discussion whether Tom Brady or Joe Montana is the better quarterback.” Whereas no, no one outside of the 617 had ever discussed that.

Win tonight and it’s back to being a SAWX town anyway.

If Dennis Miller or Bill Simmons were Bulls fans they would have trouble matching this game preview for sheer entertainment value.

My only objection is why paddyfairview never mentioned our former all star and his contributions to this cast of characters, the late Rip Hamilton, may he Rest In Piece. As you stated, this zany group of misfits continues to lead the league although many can’t shoot straight…. if at all. how uninspiring is our midget Energizer bunny J Lucas III, our really offensive, Turkish enforcer, Omer (I still love his defensive prowess) who not only can’t shoot at all, but actually has worse hands than Taj who should take a side trip to Oz and ask the Wizard bring him to all star status by giving him a skill set which would enable him to learn to handle the ball and actually make a jump shot with someone in his face on a consistent basis.

If Boozer would stop hitting on Noah’s bong in the locker room before each game, he may actually notice an opposing player flying by him in real time, rather than when his synapses finally fire through the haze of his slower than molasses thought processes.

The Bulls should win tonight even without Rose as long as C J Watson and his miniature sidekick J Lucas III lay off the metamphetamines and realize there is a 24 second clock in the NBA, not a 10 second one. I also predict that Rajon the fiesty alien infestation will be slowed down with an antitdote created and applied by our resident mad scientific genius Dr. Thibs who has developed this counter force after reviewing 120 consecutive hours of the 2 teams previous encounter. Deng will inject him when Rondo grabs his wrist only to be injected with this potent substance that has been havily applied to Luol’s wrist band.

Bulls 99 Celtics 92.

Are all of the idiots in Chicago as ignorant as you cunts? Hell, you spend more time hating on Rondo (you know, the guy who makes more money than your whole inbred family could ever dream of) than you do talking about Rose. I guess you guys must really love Rondo.

I like how the video says Rondo was going for the ball.

Unless he was going to grow a third arm out of his ass, he’d never get to the ball.

For all the Boozer defense haters

Let me reiterate; Our choices in FA that year were between Boozer, David Lee, Joe Johnson, and Amare. I’m really not that upset about Boozer’s play and I think he plays better D than any of those guys. We could have saved the cap space too, but everyone probably would have bitched about that, too. Really, Boozer was not that bad of a signing given our options.

but i respect him tons for lowering his body fat to a ridiculously low level to save his knees. It shows me that he cares about being a good player, he has his flaws but when Amare gets intense he’s a hell of a player.

That last one honestly makes me want to slap him.

I love how he’s waiting at the free throw line holding up 3 fingers like “Give me my free throws! Three shots for me!” Let’s be honest, he probably missed them anyway.

Sad that he's not out there, but thrilled that they're finally taking the right approach

Also, anyone else notice how ever since the Bulls got back from the road trip Thibs entire attitude towards the situation has changed? He’s dropped the whole “If he’s injured, he doesn’t play, but if he’s hurt, he can play” schtick. Now he’s actually saying smart things like “We want him to be pain free before he gets back out there”.

Something tells me he was on the business end of a John Paxson arm bar.
