The 2006-2007 Chicago Bulls Thread

[Flames24Rulz]

Deng and Gordon each had 29 and Hinrich had 27. Great night for those 3.

 

I'll take a 3-4 road trip. It could've been a lot better than that, but I'm not going to complain too much.

 

I would be willing to bet that, at the start of the road trip, not too many people had the Bulls losing to the Kings and Warriors while beating the Suns.

 

I had us losing all 3 of those, to be honest with you.

[Soul]

It shows how desperately the Suns need Nash to be successful.

 

Still, it's a road win against a decent club even without Nash. I'll take it. Doesn't totally make up for that Warriors nightmare though.

[Derwood]

I don't really care that Nash was on the bench. If you're a good team, then you beat a team whose star player is hurt. Might the Suns have won had Nash been on the floor? Sure. But he wasn't, and we won, so that's that.

 

When's the trade deadline?

[Soul]

Yeah I know. We really needed that game too. 2-5 on the road trip would have just furthered our lack of confidence away from the United Center.

 

I thought what the Bulls did well last night was continue to attack the basket most of the night. This is really key, IMO----we need to crash that hoop, get to the line. Pick our spots for fast breaks instead of trying to make our entire game based on the fast break.

 

The game was in HD on ESPN so needless to say, it was a nice way to end the weekend ;)

[Andy]

Big big big win especially with Detroit refusing to lose a basketball game.

We can attack the basket against certain teams. Pat Burke certainly wasn't redirecting any shots down there.

The Bulls don't play West of the Mississippi River until the NBA finals. They play once in Memphis and once in Milwaukee. Every other game is east of the United Center.

aren't you the optimistic one?

[A New Era]

Do you guys think we'll get gasol?

 

I can only go by what I hear on the radio but. .

 

He's an inside threat and scorer, complimenting the bulls outside scoring. .

 

He rebounds well, he and wallace add up to some nice rebounding #'s. .

 

What have you all been hearing and reading about it? I heard today on the radio that the grizzely's really would like to move him. .

[Andy]

If the Grizz don't ask for too much, Pax will get him.

 

I'm not worried either way. As is, the Bulls have as good a chance as anyone to come out of the East - save Detroit probably.

:lol:

 

You know what I meant.

[Andy]

Bulls have come back from down as many as 12 with just a few minutes left. It's now 110-108, 21 seconds to go, and the Bulls have the ball after Toronto threw it away.

[Jon]

Wow. How did Gordon get that shot off!?

[Andy]

GORDON 3-PT PLAY!

 

111-110 now with 12 seconds.

 

I'm pretty sure BG got away with a somewhat MJ-esque nudge to force that foul to be called.

[Soriano12]

rot in hell you worthless ref!

[Jon]

Sigh. Hopefully they can get the clock reset, at least.

[Andy]

Wow, less than a week ago I saw ND's Rob Kurz gets absolutely CRUSHED under the basket with no call so that the refs can live in the security that they "didn't decide the game", and now the refs decide to change their tune when it negatively affects my team.

 

What a joke.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Well, NBA refs continue to suck.

[Jon]

How the hell can you not put an additional 1.5 seconds up?

 

Ugh.

Edited February 14, 2007 by Jon

[Soriano12]

Refs 112

Bulls 111

[Soul]

Gawd.

 

Maybe the refs won't "find" the hotel tonight.....ehem, if you know what I mean.

[Flames24Rulz]

Simply awful.

 

But maybe we can start trying 45 minutes earlier in the game tomorrow.

[Mark_R]

Am I the only one a bit perplexed of having Tyrus in on defense in the last few seconds? It would make more sense to have Big Ben out there...

Tyrus was holding Bosh down before that last play. It was a good decision IMO.

 

And the kid really needs to play more. I can't emphasize that enough. That fact probably pisses me off the most about Skiles this season.

[A New Era]

Exciting end of the game. Too bad they didn't win.

 

Get gasol.
