Bulls injury update: Deng returns to the fullest, Rose has a stiff back
by your friendly BullsBlogger on Feb 6, 2012 10:00 AM CST
Email
PrintBulls By The Horns fills in with the details on both Rose and Deng: Deng came back on Saturday night, played 41 minutes, and then practiced Sunday.
Said Chicago coach Tom Thibodeau: "He said he felt fine. He was good in practice. We’re encouraged by that."
Thibs is answering questions because Deng is not. Luol said he doesn’t want to keep talking about the injury. And, really, what’s the point? It hurts. He can play through it. And it probably won’t get better until after the season when he has time for it to fully heal (possibly after surgery).
I get Luol's stance not wanting to keep taking about it, but I also don't want to hear Thibs either, really. He (and Skiles was like this too) doesn't like talking about injuries, and treats everyone as a pass/fail grade. If you can play, you play to the fullest extent.
I didn't see Saturday's game, so I don't want to just say 41 minutes + 23-point win = bad. But looking at the gameflow, it seemed pretty unnecessary.
But now I suppose it's time to add me to those who also want to stop talking about it*. Thibs is a great coach, but he's wrong here, hope it doesn't come back to haunt them (and you couldn't prove causality if it did), and that's that.
(*Note by your friendly BullsBlogger, 02/06/12 11:47 AM CST] apparently that got some major confusion in the comments: I basically meant I'll try not to consistently say it's dumb and will potentially harm the Bulls since Thibs and Luol are cool with it, and Pax isn't choking anyone yet, so it's not going to change. But as an official stance I'll leave myself open to talk about it, as to not endure such a potential backlash towards a broken promise, yeesh)
(and for Rose, seems fine, just being an NBA guard and all)

Whatever you do
do not read the new “Making a Play for Pau” fanpost.
well, if Luol gets hurt again in a blowout win
then your theory that Boozer’s shit play isn’t costing the Bulls a title will be right. So keep chasing that rainbow.

LOL
This is all kinda silly. He is a role player. This is something you just have to get used to.
That said, I would love me some Keith Bogans right about now with all the injuries. Not saying I would rather have him start than Brewer, but having him on the bench to come in might have been nice. Although, I guess Jimmy has done well so meh.
A little extra from Bogans is what?
4 points, 2 rebounds and 3 fouls?
i kind of feel bad for him.

Hated that he was our starter, but he seemed like a good guy, and a great teammate. Has to be a shitty feeling to get the boot like that when you love the people you play with. Although I’m kinda surprised his agent didn’t have him more prepared. I mean, his departure didn’t exactly come as a surprise

Taj was better than Tyrus then...
But, some fans mistake potential for actual production…I, for one, liked that Tyrus was more jumpy.
New signature coming...but its a process.
it's pretty arguable that taj was better then
tyrus only played 4 games before he got hurt – but most of his averages in chicago that season are better than taj’s. people didn’t like that he was benched because he never got a chance to redeem himself… an injury shouldn’t be a ticket to the bench.
but yeah… it sucks what tyrus has turned into.

The Tyrus and Taj thing
Was almost like the Drew Bledsoe and Tom Brady thing
except at a much smaller scale…. :)
The kid's out of this world. He's got Allen Iverson speed, Jason Kidd's vision, Chauncey Billups' shooting ability and Michael Jordan's athleticism. How do you guard that? - Pacers coach Frank Vogel.
It was never arguable that TT was better at anything but jumping
He had not idea what to do on a basketball court and still doesn’t. He refuses to embrace his role and still thinks he is a SF. I liked him as much as anyone but saying it was a debate between him and TT is SILLY.

that season
tyrus had a 16.5 PER in chicago that season (and improved it to 17.1 after the trade), a feat taj has yet to reach (he had exactly that in just the playoffs last season).
he also:
and as tuluse says
had more steals, blocks, and assists (and their respective rate stats)
he may not have taj’s bball iq, but AT THE TIME (disregard what they’ve done since, because that’s not what this is about), he was certainly performing at least at taj’s level.

I respect your opinions
But I can’t give u more than exciting. He did nothing efficiently and his blocking fetish cost the defense regularly when he left his man and the defense broke down. Not a good basketball player. Why can’t people get over that.

Use information to defend your statements then...
better passer? good luck
defensive stats? at the cost of team defense
being exciting? i already gave u that.
PER is flawed because because it can make you think someone like TT is better than someone like Taj. (and honestly I don’t think Taj is incredible or anything, just someone you can win a champ with on your roster while TT will never win anything.

He's a good guy and it sucks that he was put through that
But he just isnt starter material. We have so many guards as it is…no room for poor ol Keith
"There are two ways to argue with a woman, and neither of them work."
- Carlos Boozer after cancelling an interview with a Sports Illustrated reporter because his wife was expecting him home.
Yeah, I think the organization did not treat him very well.
First, I am not sure why they did not bring him back. He seems to be the kind of player that is cool in the locker room but pretty damn mean to opposing players. We need at least a few of those types. There may be cap issues for not taking him back or maybe they did not think that he could transition from starter to Scalabrine in one season. Maybe this was the only way that they could be 100% sure that Thibs did not start him this season.
If they did have to move him, they should have been more communicative about where he stood. I always liked Keith even though he was in a position to draw ire.
Also, as we are capped out, any contributing players we get from here on out will be in the form of vets taking a pay cut. If we do not want all of them to go to the Heat, it is probably a good idea not to throw veteran players under the bus (although the Heat have done this 3 times and are still drawing all of these charity cases).

by Playboy_BullV on Feb 6, 2012 2:04 PM CST up reply actions
Why? Because he was so underwhelming in his role that despite being an important piece of the Bulls' defense
And starting every single game from preseason to the ECF he couldn’t land a single FA offer? ?He should bitch to his agent, not the franchise that gave him the best season of his life.
by Ozzie Montana on Feb 6, 2012 2:24 PM CST up reply actions
Well apparently he did bitch to his agent
and than fired him. I think this is why he is pissed
Bogans expressed frustration over how the sequence of events unfolded. He said he participated in informal workouts at Berto Center the week of Dec. 5 under the impression from agent Joel Bell, whom he has since fired, that the Bulls would bring him back. And Bogans said interest from Portland got scuttled when the Bulls held his rights from the time they pulled him off the floor on Dec. 9 to his official Dec. 16 release.
I mean, there are a lot of weighs to look at that. The Bulls were obviously looking out for their own interests and probably hurt Bogans in the process. The Bulls may have done everything ethically and fine – but if this happened to anyone, they’d be pissed.

hence the 'kind of'
and if i ever say i feel bad for any high paid athlete i’m speaking in extremely relative terms. the only reason i have any sympathy for him in this case is how he felt like the team was family and it sucks to have that pulled out from under you. it’s too bad he couldn’t be the third stringer now, obviously he should never had started.

I just have bad thoughts when someone tries to strip deng and slaps down hard on his wrist
Im looking at you Zasa….
its going to hurt at time, but remember, the injury cant get any worse (according to the bulls docs)
sp, w/e he felt when he fall on the floor in the 4th Q is the worse kind of pain hes going to feel (knock on wood)
About Deng's minutes,
his minutes per game averages before Thibs got here were 27, 33, 37.5, 33.5, 34 and then 38. Under Thibs, Deng has played 39 and 38.5 minutes per game and hasn’t missed any time due to minutes related injuries.
I’m not gonna get all upset about an extra minute or two per game. Does anyone really think that a couple minutes per game is gonna do damage to a world-class athlete?
Yeah, it can be a little odd when those guys are out there with big leads, but I’m not that concerned. And with practice’s being scarce, Thibs wants these guys to get as many minutes as possible together.
by dakoose on Feb 6, 2012 11:37 AM CST reply actions 1 recs
I agree about his minutes...
Jordan averaged 38 min/game and Pippen was 39 min/game. I’m sure they had BIG leads most games but was anyone harping on Phil Jackson about their playing time? NO. Everyone should get off Thibs back about his substitution pattern. Because we are winning and doing well everybody needs to nit-pick about things to find something to complain about. If we were 6-20 would anybody be talking about their minutes. Get serious. These are the best athletes in the world. The difference in a few minutes is going to do no harm physically. If Deng is already able to log 40 minutes a game it will not hurt him to consistently do 40 minutes. it’d be one thing if he averaged 40 minutes and then had to play 50 minutes at the same level. I am a distance runner and coach cross country. I see no reason a professional player cant play 40 minutes. THE ONLY issue with playing extra minutes is that it also increase the minutes per season that a player could possibly get injured. BUT, should a coach/player really worry about injury. If it happens it happens. It could happen at minute 1 of the game, it could happen in bed with an apple, it could happen with a gym bag. my point is to stop talking about Luol’s minutes. Its so frustrating to see Sam Smith and everyone on twitter being sarcastic about his minutes. YOU ARE NOT THE COACH. Thibs is f-ing awesome and i’m sure he knows what he is doing. For example, against philly he didn’t play ANYSTARTERS the whole 4th quarter. Ahhh. ok, i’ll stop. off my soap box. To end, I just have to say that as an endurance athlete, it is stupid to nit-pick over playing time. Luol just sat out for 1.5 weeks, he needs to build his endurance up. Peace out. boom.
it's just not necessary, so just...stop doing it
he’s playing through pain, and isn’t Michael Jordan. Sit him when the game’s in hand, I agree it’s not a big deal, as in they should sit him because it isn’t a big deal.

I understand with your points
I also think that if a player has an injury that they need to rest it… (like rip playing longer minutes, or derrick if his back is bothering him) but if players are healthy then I feel the minute conversation isn’t as relevant
also, sorry for my vent session
it wasn’t directed at you, as much as just the whole issue in general. I was AT the bulls/bucks game the other night in MKE. It was outstanding. The crowd was 90% bulls fans. I didn’t see much issue with Dengs playing time that game. I was soooo excited about the game and all that was on twitter by Sam Smith and others was about this playingtime issue so it was difficult to just be excited about the game, without having to worry about these other issues. make sense?
eh, just the 'curse' of rooting for a team that's awesome
criticism is nitpicking by default, really

This thought should enter into our discussions more
Although I admit it only permeates the game threads fully
Well, simply the fact that he's out on the floor exposes him to the possibility of injury
So if Thibs takes him out three minutes earlier in a blowout, that’s three minutes that a freak occurance can’t happen. Of course, you can’t plan your rotation around weird shit happening, but for a guy like Lu that has had some pretty strange non-major contact injuries, it’s probably better to just play it safe

Whats going to happen with Korver?
When Hamilton returns and Deng is playing his normal rotation, will Korver still get much playing time? he is on fire lately and I feel needs to stay as a steady part of the rotation. I’d play him over Brewer to be honest. Korver’s D is really impressing me this year (just versus his D from last year).
i dont want jimmys minutes being cut down to like 1 again, lol
thibs needs to learn time management. He needs to let deng rest a bit more esp like the mil game.
For those who take interest in such things
Bulls are no. 1 in Hollinger’s rankings
They’re no. 2 behind Miami in Stein’s. F
Pat Riley is the devil.
Also, D Rose is fifth in PER, and barely trailing CP3 and Kobe
Of course, Lebron is number one, and currently playing at an historic level :( #hollywoodashell

thing is big men are heavily biased in PER calculations
i wouldnt try to compare a pg to a SF/PF. Just seeing Rose being high in PER is an amazing feat. Think about it, look at Michael Jordans PER. Its not the best PER, but you already know you dont need to use PER to determine how fuckin good he was.
what the hell are you talking about?
Jordan has 4 of the top 10 single-season PERs in history.

oh yeah, and maybe in his commercials about staying in school he should talk about how he skipped college for a game
fuck lebron

Seriously, that guy should be banned for not following yfbb's rules.
This space is available.
isnt it like the assistant coach's jobs to monitor minutes and stuff like that and keep the coach informed throughout the game?
i wonder what thibs just says when someone tells him luols been out there too long
Damn am I good or what? I told you guys New York would win a title this year!!

No one tells Thibs anything, because they're afraid of this

Not photoshopped at all (per yfbb's comment)
It just came up in Google images, like magic.
Even Thibs can't resist making "Chris Bosh is a woman" jokes

is sbnation doing some pretty wacky things to anyone else, or are my difficulties in getting
pages to load on this site exclusively my own?
"A household is a business given over to caring for small, temporarily insane people, a business subject to cash-flow problems, endless legal harassments, run by people who expect to have sex with each other, who occupy the same space, and who go nuts when either party has sex with anyone else. Once in marriage, a lot of people try to get out as fast as religious tradition, poverty, or devotion to children permits.""

I think something is up
I’m pretty sure as a result of last Thursday. But there hasn’t been an announced outage or maintenance.
if it’s bad contact supportATSBNation.com

sometimes im able to get on without problem, sometimes i get the connection reset error. If you hit the try again button it usually connects, or if you go the sbn home pages you will be fine. Ive also had trouble posting comments. im thinking when the server went down last week, they didnt replace it and just fixed everything to go around using that server, and its causing extreme lag when connecting to the website.

I'm just gonna get mad if Deng makes the all star team and doesn't play because of the wrist
If they’re gonna use the “it can’t get any worse” excuse now, they may as well use it then.
Then I’ll really believe in not talking about it anymore
I doubt Kobe sits

lol
No more Jason Kidd and his hatred of Skiles
I thought that was just point guards
cause Skiles was supposedly one of the dirtiest players in the league…
wasn’t Skiles’ main role on those Orlando teams to feed Shaq?
skiles coached kidd in phoenix
i believe the hate stems from that

I just watched that Kevin Love thing and for some warped reason
I love him more. That dude is NO JOKE.
Hey Rose. I don't see the appeal!
u gotta be kiddin me..
i was expecting you to call him LoDouche.
Well they showed that in an earlier game
Scola threw a ball going out of bounds at Love and it him him in the balls. Not saying it was cool what Love did but it takes something for someone to throw a guy on the ground and then stomp him. Yeah it’s bad but still…damn. Imagine if Boozer did that to Bosh just once after Bosh does one of his fake foul moves. Talk about setting a tone.
Hey Rose. I don't see the appeal!
he barely even threw him on the ground
scola flopped. flop flop flop flop
and if you watch the video where it shows the play before it, he flops on that play too. i can’t stand watching him.
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.

We have a game preview tonight?
I need somewhere to vent my frustration about Rose being hurt again.
