Re: 2009-10 Chicago Bulls Thread

James Johnson is a complete non entity. I don't think I've ever seen a player make less of an impact on a game while they're on the floor.

 

He's just...there.

[SpongeWorthy]

Wow, Noah with a double double (8 offensive rebounds!) and 4 blocks at the half.

[Derwood]

Ron Artest's ridiculously bad shot selection is keeping the Bulls in this game

[SpongeWorthy]

Blah, winnable game. Effort was there finally. John Salmons is worthless. Pargo is worthless. Rose is too floater dependent and misses way too many gimmes but otherwise is on the right track.

 

Live by the long two, die by the long two.

[SpongeWorthy]

Sweet, we're getting run off the floor by the Knicks.

[SpongeWorthy]

The Knicks set an NBA record by attempting 29 threes in the first half. The game record is 48.

I miss Tyrus Thomas. Taj Gibson is a cheap imitation. I hope that they don't trade him for nothing. They are a better team with him out there.

Seriously...Taj really is a poor man's Tyrus Thomas with probably less athleticism.

 

I was really looking forward to seeing what Tyrus had in store this year. If you remember, he had a period the second half of last year where he really came on strong. A lot of people forget that. I was hoping he'd improve on that this year and finally prove he's a decent player and one worth resigning, although that ship may have sailed who knows.

Didn't you go off on me when I suggested this exact thing on draft night?

Did I? I remember saying "Taj who?" when Gibson was drafted. If I did, it was because I was just riled up about not taking DeJaun Blair.

[SpongeWorthy]

Gibson's been playing well off the bench lately. He's not a long term starter but he's a solid rotation player and that ain't bad for the 26th pick.

 

James Johnson is the bigger concern. This guy needs to just work on his 3s or something and become a poor man's Rodney Rogers.

How bizarre. I just looked at the NBA standings and noticed that the Bulls are only 1 game out of the playoffs right now despite how horrible they've been. Even funnier is that the Bulls have played the hardest schedule in the NBA to date. I'm not saying that the Bulls are anywhere near a playoff caliber team. I'm saying that it's really hard to find even 6 playoff caliber teams in the Eastern Conference this season.

last time I checked, only 11 or 12 of the 30 teams in the league had winning records

When over half the teams in your league make the playoffs it isn't too hard to still be in the playoff race a quarter of the year in. Only teams like the Nets and T-Wolves are done.

Yes but what I was saying is that with an easier schedule, and a healthy Thomas, and (wishful thinking) just a little improved play, I could see the Bulls making up that one game deficit. It's not like the other teams in that 7-12 range is clearly better than the Bulls.

[SpongeWorthy]

Hey we're not getting blown out by the Hawks...yet.

[Flames24Rulz]

92-92, 35 seconds left.

[SpongeWorthy]

Sweet, Vinny draws up two final plays that fail to even get the ball into Derrick's hands.

Joe Johnson was all over Rose, though. Still those two plays were mind-boggling bad.

[chuckywang]

Are the Bulls not familiar with the concept of a 2 for 1?

[Derwood]

only 3rd time all season the Bulls have scored 100 points. WTF?

[SpongeWorthy]

Woohoo!

[Sammy Sofa]

Nice night for Rose.
