4/15 - Bulls (41-40) vs. Toronto (32-49) - 7 pm, CSN

[Derwood]

how do you take 84 shots and only 8 of them are 3's, especially when you're down by 20 most of the game?

[Flames24Rulz]

Wow, look at all those garbage time rebounds for Noah.

 

He didn't really get much playing time until the game was already well out of hand.

[Cynosure]

Dangit! What's with all the Hawks/Bulls game being on at the same time!

[rawaction]

Was anyone else actually impressed w/ Tyrus last night? I thought he took mostly good shots and was aggressive offensively against the best competition he will face all season. He got to the line 8 times and shoulda been there several more times. He'll never go 2-17 again in his life. If he gets 17 shots again in the near future, I think you're looking at a big game from him. He had 16 shots 3 times last year and put up 21/12, 24/7, and 20/14 in those games.

 

17 shots were the most of Tyrus' career. 8 FT attempts is tied (with several other games) for the 2nd most FTs he's shot in any game in his career (shot 10 in the season finale last year). He's shot 8 FTs in his last 2 games. That shows me that he is being aggressive going to the basket and becoming an offensive force inside. And from what I have seen, he's the only such force on the team.

i thought the same thing... but it's kinda hard to put it out there when everyone else looks at it as like "he shot like 15 jumpers and missed them all"

[Cynosure]

We need Thomas to learn how to post up =\ He's built a lot like Garnett.

He's also 2-3 inches shorter too. Posting up is not his game. Posting up is not the Bulls game. They don't have an offense that works through the post, or really needs to. Thomas just needs to get better at what he does. If the Bulls want a post presence (which I want too), then they are going to have to draft or trade for one. They aren't going to make one out of Tyrus.

if thomas takes a dozen 15-footers again, he might just go 2-17

[David]

his jumper isn't that bad... last night aside.

 

i think the fact that his form is good and that he's a pretty good free throw shooter indicate that there's potential in that shot...

 

it's not like he has some ugly odd shot like chandler or noah. he just needs to gain confidence in it. when he's wide open for miles and can't nail a shot that he'd hit in practice (or from the free throw line, not the same thing, i know), it suggests to me that it's more of a confidence thing than anything... add in the "just a bad night" explanation, and you have last night... an extremely bad night...

 

 

do i want him taking that many jumpers? no... but i don't think he's a terrible shooter from that range, either.

[Derwood]

he was missing both 15 foot jumpers and easy put-backs

[Cynosure]

Have I ever mentioned how much of a beast Thomas is? 2 blocks in 1 minute.

[Derwood]

Bulls have already taken as many 3's tonight as they did the entire Boston game.

[Cynosure]

I LOVE ME SOME DERRICK ROSE

[rawaction]

Rose with 20, with 16 minutes left.

[Cynosure]

Rose with 20, with 16 minutes left.

 

22 and 7 Rebounds :D

[Flames24Rulz]

Nice of BG to show up. Team scored 33 points in the 3rd quarter, very impressive. 12 more minutes.

[Cynosure]

Gooden 14 Rebounds through 3, Rose 22 points through 3... gotta love it... Thomas 4 blocks!

 

Sucks that Thomas is still taking that stupid 15 foot shot, though.

[Derwood]

seems crucial to have a good start this year. How many years recently have started with a just terrible first few weeks?

[Cynosure]

Make it 5 blocks! :shock: :shock:

 

EDIT: Hinrich 5/6 from 3 tonight.

It just seems so much more boring this year with these announcers. Maybe Im so used to Kerr and others that Im having a hard time adjusting to these guys.

[Keener98]

Ok its time I come out of the closet. Im in love with D Rose. I cant wait till we get some guys around him wow. Just stay off motorcycles please Derrek.

[Flames24Rulz]

I don't really miss Red, but I miss Larrivee.

Derrick Rose: Bulls version of Geovany Soto....or Geovany Soto in disguise? :-k :D)
