Open (preseason) game thread: Bulls midwest barnstorming tour

1. Luke Ridnour is a chump.
2. Sefolofsica, Red?
3. Naismith may have invented basketball, but not the shot clock.

Is anyone watching the game?  The internet, from what I've seen, isn't giving stats, they are only providing a score.  I can see they are winning but I was wondering how things were going.  How does everyone look?  Does anyone stand out?  

I must have posted my comment after your's.  Does anyone look better today than last game?

He hit a game tying shot at the end of the 4th. He was rebounding well and had a key block when seattle was making a comeback in the 4th quarter.

Also, Thabo was better today, I believe it he had 9 points, don't know how many rebounds or assists (I counted 3 but I didn't see the entire game) and he had a couple of blocks as well.

Schencher looked horrible, he tried to do a sky hook and it was one of the worst shots I've seen in a while. Also, when seattle was coming back at the end he played horrible defense, he tried to take a charge and a guy walked around him and scored a layup. Then he got a couple of fouls late in the game as well. I saw him drop a couple of passes too.

Andre Barret looks like he has a chance to make the team maybe. He's showing he can both shoot and drive and he's not afraid to take a big shot. He's quick and he can jump pretty high too.

Hinrich played great in the first half along with fellow KU alum Nick Collison. But I didn't see a lot of Hinrich in the 2nd half.

tyrus is amazing

But I saw the Body (that felt weird saying that) go in for a little and he showed he does have some post moves and made a basket, he also pulled down a couple bounds. But i only saw like a couple minutes of him before the half ended.

B-jizzle (even wierder) looked like his defense was noticably better than last year. He was in his man's face and put pressure on the ball. He looked smooth in his shot and it looked like he was just playing like he was in practice, like he wasn't having a hard time getting a shot off or anything. I didn't see much of either of these guys but thats what i saw

Thabo played an ok game, he had 5 assists but also 4 turnovers i think. He has nice ball skills, I think his jump shoot will come. Khryapa did a great job, nice defense too. Luke Schensure is too slow and weak. I hope the Bulls kkep Barrett, he can make the open shot besides it wouldn't hurt havin another guard. Ben Gordan looks like more of a complete player this year and not just a jump shooter.

Or second thoughts?

So far it seems to me that Andre (the Non-Giant) Barrett has been outplaying Luke the Giant in the pre-season.

Maybe it's unfair to compare the guys-
one's an Ent and one's a Hobbit....

But with only two roster spots left, one of those guys (or both, possibly) needs to go.

Anybody else have some thoughts about Luke Vs Barrett?  

Do they live in caves in Kansas?  Are they still using an abacus there or something?

Red is still saying Kree-rop-rha.  Wayne said Hee-roh-rha once immediately after the PA pronounced it correctly, but he want on to alternate between the 2 pronunciations.

At the end of the 2nd half there was much debate about how much time was left on the clock... what no one noticed is that the clock stopped at 1.0 for at least half a second.  The Bulls ended up getting 0.2 to shot (which is not enough time for anything more than a tip).

Also, in the original post Matt made fun of Wayne.  I certainly appreciate ANY announcer bashing, I feel we have the worst in the NBA, certainly the worst for a big market.  However, I have decided this preasason that I like Wayne much more than Tom.

I will never forgive him for going over to the green side. Wayne left the Bears for the Packers when the going got tough well its not over Wayne
