Please win this one!!!
Well, hot damn
If Tyrus plays well against Utah
And if Duhon goes off for another 32 point tonight, I'll..not have to worry about it because it won't happen.
If nothing else,
God damn it, Tyrus.
OMFG. Great pass by Thabo, Wallace blows the dunk.
And of course it leads to a three for Utah.
Indeed
Let's hope their getting it out
The Jazz is another team I loathe.
Look at how slow Griffin is.
Put Noah on Ak-47.
Damn, Thabo. Sweet.
Well, true we're playing like crap
Utah gas gotten every lucky break in the first
This is another game we can win.
I commend Boylan for switching
They really love Kyle Korver in Utah
something in common with the fans in Utah
Boozer is another guy who deserves a kick in
Set your clocks
The Bulls sucking the jizm tailpipe...
Question of the night:
Does ANYONE remember when the Bulls last won TWO games in a row?
Sausages.
Good close to that quarter.
Gray bitchslapped Millsaps. Vanilla Panther!
Gray might be a little slow
three things Wallace DOESN'T do...
Gray has to get it out of the DT faster and to the
These refs are pissing me off.
And the OTHER Ben
He doesn't LOOK hurt....he looks bored.
What's his deal anyway...He got a hang nail or somthin'?
TT gets a fantastic dunk
LMAO. Tyrus reconizes he has
Not a great entry pass, but TT
I dunno - do the math
Not really....
Deng included.
I miss Kirk
But mostly I've become so much more attached to the kids that it's going to be tough if Boylan cuts the PT way back when everyone gets healthy.
if Boylan cuts the PT
Count on it.
It will be hilarious if the Bulls playing
Sometimes I like to be delusional
Gray was very effective.
I believe
That was ridiculous
LOL. Tyrus not used to the double...
Bad play on the break, too.
The minutes have finally caught Joe Smith.
The Bulls look lost out there
Gray is wreaking havoc...
But the Bulls shooters need to get open when he is doubled. Then he needs to find them.
WHY THE F
SHIT he sucks.
I take back my Gray compliment
Griffin should only play
No team in the history of the NBA
What makes it worse
Moron.
Terrible fucking call on Thabo.
Um...are you blind?
After the block.
doesn't mean it's a bad call
It was the correct call, in accordance with NBA rules.
But the NBA refs never call that consistently...
Other times, like Thabo's block, they call it.
IMO, if the contact if after a clean block, no foul. Why should the defender be punished because his momentum carries him into the same space where the offensive player's momentum took him? If it's after the shot, it couldn't have affected the shot.
Korver looks like he should be
The Bulls just gave this game away over the
The JAzz is a crap team. There is no reason they shoud be up ten.
Infuriating.
It's not as if the Jazz have been playing
Well, I don't know where you've been
But you're right in that they really don't have many superior defenders; AK and Milsap is about it with Brewer out. And Deron too, but he's small. You'd think with Sloan they'd be a defensive team, but they really just work hard and rebound. And they can score a lot, so credit the Bulls "D" tonight, so far.
If the Jazz had managed to trade AK for Marion, I think they'd have been almost unbeatable. Real strong team.
Not sure the game is over, and that the Jazz
They got stuck at 33
Fouls are especially damning
by Freethefro on Feb 9, 2008 9:15 PM CST reply actions
The way the replacements have been playing
I get a warm feeling when I realize that Sloan
Twice.
He's never going to get one.
Exactly
Sloan's a good coach.
Am I really the only one who sees
No doubt
We're SO glad
My favorite line
Oh so many reasons.
He and the Mailman can rot in ignominy.
One would think
They definitely could
Kirk, BG and Deng
All three of those guys have stunk it up just as bad in past games.
funny...

Ah, so you
Sigh. Terrible start.
This iteration of the Bulls has
AK-47 should be followed around
I wonder if he predicts "Pain" before every game.
Emaciated Drago.
They also produced an American version
Bulls hanging around
Honestly, why can't the Bulls finish layups?
If anyone wonders about Tyrus' dunks...
Not only are dunks much more likely to be made than layups without a fould, they are even more likely to go in when someone is being fouled.
Dunks, especially the Tyrus Thomas kind, are more than "just flash".
*As Kemp, NBA Observer, Sports2 and other windbags would have you believe believe the opposite.
Jim Boylan sucks.
Ghetto three by a scrub.
at least we're losing

I am going to throw my computer through a
Listen, I have a deep, deep, pathological
It's been that way since 1997.
I hate them so much I always to try to sit courtside for that game, so I can really heckle them.
so I can really heckle them
You remind me of someone who yells at the players so much that he gets punched for doing so -
Then sues the person who punches him.
What in God's name is your problem?
Dear lord, if that's the case, at least fifty percent of the UC is "psycho."
No one has ever punched me, or even threatened to punch me, for heckling opposing players in any of the hundreds of Bulls' games I have attended over the last five years. THAT would be "psycho."
Come on Boylan
And Boylan just sits there and lets it happen.
I'm not certain which is more aggrivating...
Have they picked up an illegal defense yet?
and Kiri just SCHOOLED wall-ass
ugh.
WHY is Wallace still in there?
Whoa, was just happened with Thomas
Some midget reserve scrub is having the
Just get Griffin the hell out of there.
and take Wallace with him
Okay - Boylan, PLEASE:
TT
Thabo
Du
Noc
(and Noc, just because he is scoring right now)
I've started to think Boylan's goals
Boylan has to go. He hasn't wiped the Skiles slate clean. He's pulling the same garbage his buddy did, and brought the same baggage with him.

one shot

March 11 can't get here fast enough.
Well, at least he sat grifffff
Coaching and lineups don't really
Just missing wide open looks all game.
if there was a real coach here
It's because there ISN'T one that the team sucks as a whole.
the interior defense
by Orlando Woolridge on Feb 9, 2008 10:13 PM CST reply actions
rather than driving to the hoop in an open lane
Why didn't the Bulls attempt a three?
by RogersPark Kris on Feb 9, 2008 10:21 PM CST reply actions
attempt a three?
All things considered, not a bad effort
Irritating loss to an irritating team.
Next game is against the Hornets, so I am sure that Chandler lament will be at its apex here.
Chris Paul, another player I hate.
We need to crush them.
You mean you HAVEN'T been drinking already?
Dear sir,
No drinking yet. I just loathe that team.
The Cavs, the Knicks, the Jazz, the Pistons, and the Lakers awaken in me a monstrous anger.
I don't really like the Blazers, the Rockets, or the Celtics either.
I just loathe that team
I would never have guessed that.
Ben Gordon
I seem to remember a guy named Jordan who, when he had a sprained wrist (and he did MANY times), would simply tape it up and go out and play....HARD.
BG - a legend in his own mind.
Bulls were pretty much competitive
Especially with the entire Core out.
So ironic that the entire "core" is
I don't feel we were outclassed
Boylan is.
Plain and simple.
Fix the coach issue(s) and the team will come around.
i know i am in the minority but,
they are a solid squad that made it to the West Finals last year.
they are starting to play some good ball, and i think they will have a real nice second half.
by Orlando Woolridge on Feb 9, 2008 10:34 PM CST up reply actions
they are a solid squad
Woulda been nice if the Bulls woulda played them like they played GS the other night.
That's the most frustrating me thinks - that the Bulls ARE capable of solid play.
But they are a ship with a broken rudder right now.
Decent Effort
Yes they did.
Another excellent game from Thabo!
Bulls looked over their shoulders for Kirilenko to block them, and when they were in the lane. Did UT get one single illegal D called on them? That makes it tough, but Jazz still needed Price to go off, or it would've been close.
Would've been nice to see more of Tyrus and Noah, though.
I thought Noah
I think Utah was 6th in the west by win pct.
Bulls minus the core
I had this game pegged as a loss at the start of the season anyway. The fact that it was even remotely close without Deng, Gordon, and Hinrich isn't bringing me down. Sure, a win would have been nice with a days rest, but the Jazz are no slouches at home.
I still don't understand why the team makes injured players travel with the team on a long road trip. Send them home to rest.
They also dressed Ben and Kirk
"If you start really killing us, we'll throw in our underperforming, injured players!"
Strikes fear in their eyes, me thinks.
Boylan says he
