2010-2011 Chicago Bulls Thread

[Derwood]

LBJ's "Decision" nonsense is something that we've bred among athletes in this country. Just look at all the self-centered nonsense around high school recruits and their declarations of where they're going to college.

[Guest]

Because people think LBJ is a worse person for not picking their team than Wade is for using his kids to get himself more attention.

 

I see. I don't think it's a "worse person" scenario for me. I just dislike LBJ more. Mostly because I just don't care about Wade much. For me it's not about evaluating them as people.

 

What makes you dislike LBJ more and not care about Wade?

[Guest]

Yeah. Wade is a little bitch for using his kids like that.

 

Lebron is narcissistic and very annoying for the whole drama of free agency (not for his choice of Miami).

 

Bosh needs to be sent back to the Jurassic Age because he looks like a dinosaur. And Mike Miller also looks ridiculous.

Agreed. Why isn't there more outrage against them?

I throw rocks at them whenever I get a chance.

Any teenagers really qualify for that treatment.

Game tonight against a Charlotte team that absolutely waxed the Lakers last night. Charlotte is one of the four teams the Bulls have yet to defeat this year.

Well shoot, what's gotten into that Charlotte club?

[Flames24Rulz]

Paul Silas.

Of those 4 teams, is Charlotte the only one that's beaten the Bulls twice?

Knicks too. Haven't even played the Hawks yet, which is a little weird at this point in the season.

We could be down to only the Knicks and Hawks as teams needing to beat by Friday. Or we could officially not be able to accomplish that feat if we lose to the Spurs.

Looks like according to this we still should have wished we got Redick instead of Brewer. That said, I am not going to scoff at having the 17th best bench player in terms of WP82. I included JR Smith there because he's another trade target.

Same but considering Brewer is making nearly $5 mil and Bogans $1.6, I'm guessing a Bogans was always an option. What I wish is that we signed Eddie House instead of Bogans.

[javy knows my name]

I will not have JJ Redick on my team.

 

Nope nope nope

In terms of skill sets and what they provide to the team, shouldn't we be wishing we got Redick instead of Korver?

Maybe. But I was being sold on Korver being more than just a 3 point shooter. I was told he could drive occasionally, get around screens well to get himself open, and willingly play "improving" defense. I have never taken a good look at Redick so I have no idea if thats true, but those were the things I read from people trying to sell me and others on him when we signed him to that offer sheet. All that plus I trusted the Bulls FO wasn't going to be redundant signing Redick to an offer sheet with Korver already on board when it was clear that A) we needed a starting SG that can do more than shoot 3's, and B) The Magic would make the Bulls wait the full time before deciding to match Redick's offer sheet, during a critical period when FA SG's were getting signed off the market. This said to me that the Bulls believed that Redick was undervalued and could be a legit solid starting SG that plays well off of Rose, so they were willing to take the risk.

[bukie]

Korver is more than a 3-point shooter. He's actually defending well in Thibs' system, is a decent passer out on the wings, and has an amazing adjusted net +/- when he's out on the floor, especially with the first team (the Rose/Korver/Deng/Boozer/Gibson lineup is awesome).

[Careless]

Rose got really upset when they called a jump ball instead of a foul after a forward grabbed him, I wonder how many jump balls he wins

 

Also, Bogans has 9 points in 18 minutes.

[bcl412]

They are saying on ESPN that the Bulls aren't a legit title team. Why? They aren't a favorite but I wouldn't consider it to be a great shock if they did.

[Derwood]

The Bulls are defending the home court beautifully this year. 21 over .500 now
