Open Game Thread # 38: Bulls vs. Golden State Warriors

Jayhawk_tiny by wjb1492 on Comment 410 comments

[Thanks to wjb1492 for today's game preview. If you want more, I was the 'A' in 'Q&A' over at GSoM. -Matt]

Honestly, I have no idea what to say about tonight.  I'm still feeling pretty mellow following the Bulls' humiliation of the Heat on Wednesday, which makes me want to say wonderful things about the team and its prospects for the rest of the season.  Yet, at the same time I find that I just can't let go of the early season misery, and I'm bracing myself for an eventual return to frustrated sarcasm.  That was the Heat, after all, while tonight is instead the high-octane Golden State Warriors, who average 108.5 points/game on offense.  Considering the Bulls can be decidedly offense-challenged (for recent evidence, just think back to that killer 10 point 3rd quarter against the Magic), our guys are likely going to need one of their sharper shooting nights to get the W.

Meanwhile, the off-court adventures continue, with JamesOn joining Joakim in the news.  I can't wait to see what Aaron Gray has up his sleeve, since it would appear to be his turn to make headlines.  Boylan's comparison of Joakim to a puppy reminded me of some conversation on Blogabull long ago about what breed of dog each of the players would be, but sadly (?) I couldn't find the thread.  Joakim definitely reminds me of my parents' lab, though.  (By the way, you'll all be pleased to know that our friends, the Pistons, have "good" rookies who know their place.  But I suppose that's a story for tomorrow night's game.)

Looks like Kirk is out again, so Thabo will hopefully have a third great game and make it impossible for Boylan to stick him back on the bench if Kirk ever gets healthy.  Deng and Noc are expected to play in spite of their respective boo-boos.  Hopefully the kids will get some run, since BW (aka Has-Ben, the Corpse, Ben Worthless) doesn't run at all lately and that lack of running could pose some issues with the Warriors.  (It was good to see he can still dunk, though.  It's always nice to know whether poor play is lack of interest or lack of ability.)

So, enjoy the game, all, and here's to hoping for a 2-game winning streak.

I heard earlier
that Kirk was a no go tonight.:-(  Man I hope his back heals soon. Hopefully Thabo's good play continues.

I liked Boylan's comparison of Joakim to a puppy.

I have no idea what to expect of this team for this game.

Yes, the game is on in Iowa.

hoping for a 2-game winning streak
Well, I for one would never have thunk before this season started that a 2-game win streak would be an honest hope (but one wish on a mile-long wish list)...

I second the notion though.   :-)

Posting live from
the UC. Noah was out an hour before the game working on post moves and shooting. The guy looks very hyped up to play. I hope he gets some good minutes tonight. The Warriors striped orange jumpsuit warmups are heinous. One of the Warriors (maybe Barnes - hard to tell from my angle) is doing a very complex jumprope routine to warm-up. That's all I got. Key info, I know. LOL.

Global warming? Bench Wallace and start Noah.

by Rusty LaRue on Jan 18, 2008 8:54 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

I used to think the same way.
A couple weeks ago, Van Gundy kept repeating through a game that with the players the Bulls have, they need to run as much as possible.  If he could find a good offensive minded assistant, I'm sure JVG could devise a defense to get the Bulls running and back to the top in defensive efficiency.  To be fair, Van Gundy's teams have had an old Patrick Ewing, Yao Ming, and Tracy McGrady.  As much as I hate how slowly they played, there was no impetus for his teams to play at a faster pace.  When Ewing went down with an injury in the 2000 playoffs, he let Houston, Sprewell, and Camby run to the Finals.  The name mentioned most here that scares me is Carlisle.  He had players in Tinsley and Jermaine O'Neal who can play in the open court, but he still bogged them down.

I would take JVG over Boylan ANYDAY
At least he's a PROVEN coach, and I think he would actually be a breath of fresh air to the team.

Effective guard play
Kirk is out so there's less dribbling and more passes keeping everyone alert.  

Maybe someone? Thabo? can run the offensive more, and the guards can interchange PG/SG duties throughout the games.  

Also Gordon needs to focus on less dribbling and more on catch and shoot.  Gordon needs to develop a inside slash using high floaters & extended early release underhanded kiss shots off the backboard.

Gordon needs to reduce his use of excessive dribbing to find a rythmn putting up difficult outside shots and/or drives to the basket where he just elevates like a midget with two hands and places the ball into the hands of the taller post defended for a easy block and a no call.

Both Kirk and Ben layup timing is a bit off, both need to extend earlier(burst of speed), and release earlier before the defender can time the block.  If there was a combined statistic for guards on a team being blocked on drives, Kirk and Ben probably would win.

This really has little to do with their height? Rarely do you see other short guys like Nash or Chris Paul shots blocked as often.  But also, Nash can shoot with either hand, he's fearless  inside among shot blockers, and is crafty using either hand with a subtle delayed (2 speed) timing which throws off the shot blocker.  

Actually Kirk inside drive was better in previous years and he had an effective floater which now seems to be non-existent?  

Gordon and Kirk have not progressed in this part of their game as one would have expected?  These ("timid") guys don't appear to like the physical part of playing in the NBA.  In regards to driving to the basket, Duhon and Thabo have them both beat.

by exult463 on Jan 18, 2008 9:11 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Gordon and Kirk have not progressed
I'll say again -
I believe that Kirk and Thabo together to start will be JUST THE TICKET.

Duhon
Is getting abused like an old donkey.

Ellis is blowing by him and shooting over him. Then when he picks up jackson in transition, they go right down to the post. Duhon getting beat so badly is also causing defense to rotate to compensate leaving lanes for other cutters.

tonight
he was able to illustrate the boxing out thing very nicely in only three minutes.  Does BG need three minutes to show how good a shooter he is?  Does Noc need three minutes to show he is a bull in a china shop?  (Ok, Ben Wallace takes three minutes to get a rebound, but isn't everybody clamoring for him to play less?)

there was 1 rebound that he would have gotten by boxing out.  They were all long rebounds.

Ben Gordon has never gone 3 minutes without showing how good a shooter he is?  (and 1 rebound every 3 minutes would be an improvement for Wallace)

My roommates pay for basic basic cable, which is completely worthless (because I hate TV), but they're such fucking hillbillies I still have to chip in for the utilities because they like to watch Will and Grace, or whatever. So I don't get WGN-Local but I do get the inferior nat'l WGN which has fewer NBA games. And It doesn't have ESPN. And I have leaguepass but, guess what, the last couple games (e.g Bulls/Heat have been ESPN despite the bulls sucking it up.) Last year, I had ESPN but not WGN. I can't catch a break.

observations
Duhon needs to sit tonight. I obviously don't have the plus minus in front of me at the uc, but I would almost bet my left nut that the plus minus for the thabo gordon backcourt is far better than the plus minus for the gordon duhon backcourt. Duhon is a defensive liability tonight and an offensive nullity.thabo should on the court. He is doing a great job.  

Gordon still pounds it way too much and makes crap passes.

I guess I like the zone switchup, but the bulls did get fortunate because the wars missed a lot of open threes.

Period when both tyrus and noah were getting pinched under the baskets, allowing too many war rebounds.

More thabo, less duhon.

I know Deng is good and all...
...but does Boylan want to break him? Does he not realize guys can't go this much? Except for a select few in the league... Sheesh. The dude had to sit out the shootaround. Tyrus can't be THIS bad!!!

And then the traditional BG run down the lane
and missing a lay up.

COME ON Boylan...call a TO, slow the pace, and put Thabo back in

I've just learned that these fouls
are "incidental to real basketball."  It's amazing what you learn from the other team's feed.

Well, we played
good D, got Davis airball. They gave Smith layup. Smith stuffed 'em on D, but they got rewarded....Bad d by them w/ BG getting AZbuike in air....Finally a slight breakdown....and they're in driver's seat!

I guess I'm glad Van Gundy isn't our coach
Here we go folks...yet another loss...
Scripted once again for BG, and he'll either turn it over or dribble the clock down and then miss.

Boaylan clearly has no balls to try something new.
He even has Du in with BG while Thabo sits

F.

Are you kidding?
BG was killing at the end there. He had some nice moves, the lean-in for 2 shots, [I think he drained a 3?], the pass at the end was good except it got dropped.
Everyone else ... yeeeeah. And now, we know why he wasn't passing to anyone and forcing up 3 balls, before.

a typical bulls game
can't finish the game, should of put them away in the 3rd when we had a chance...disgutsing
