2010-2011 Chicago Bulls Thread

[UMFan83]

is it ridiculous that i still think the bulls win this game?

 

Given what we've seen this year, no. I think Philly is too good a team to blow a start like this. I'm hoping to be proven wrong. Not a huge deal if we lose this though. I mean yeah it will hurt our #1 seed chances, but its not the end of the world.

 

Boston is in a dog fight with Indy at the moment

The Bulls usually make it close in the end, I wouldn't be surprised if that happens again tonight. It'd be nice if the Celtics lose though. I could live if this night ends with the Bulls having a 2 game cushion still.

Bad? no, they're an average team beating the bulls by 20 after 18 minutes in Chicago. The Bulls are not a bad team.

 

I think you are underrated the 76ers. They have gone 34-22 since their awful 3-14 start to the season. So for the last 56 games, they have have played a 50 win team. They are basically Atlanta in terms of how good their team is. Should be beating them? Of course. But is it a disgrace to lose to them? Nah.

If the Pacers hold on, I don't care about this game. If they lose, I'd rather it be a blowout than spend a lot of effort coming back just to lose.

philly is a very good passing team. im impressed.

[ctcf]

Thanks, Pacers!

[da bears]

bulls getting destroyed on defense.

[rawaction]

I'd like to see 8-9 deficit by the end of this quarter.

[ctcf]

I can't remember the last time they missed this many free throws.

[da bears]

rose with 7 turnovers so far. ugly.

It's Chicago's fourth game in 6 days, two of which were extremely narrow, hard-won victories. And now they're playing a pretty well-coached, athletic team. 82 games, it happens. It's not like the Bulls are some unstoppable juggernaut.

 

TOO BIG TOO STRONG TOO FAST TOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD

 

Is this regarding the Pacers?

How about 5?

That'll do.

Never count the Bulls out in the 2nd half. They do this all the time. I don't know if it's Thibs making halftime adjustments, him ripping into the team, or the team just playing with more urgency, but they seem to do this a lot. Anyone know the Bulls point differential split by half?

I'm curious as to how imb! will use this for one of his now customary giant, red "NO" posts.

Im not sure about point diff, but I read something the other day saying the Bulls had scored more 4th quarter points than any team in the NBA and it was by a wide margin.

Bulls have outscored their opponents by 201 in the 4th quarter. No other NBA team has outscored their opponents by more than 100.

No other team had scored more than 100 points more than their opponents in the 4th, the Bulls were at +201.

Or the Grizzlies?

Seriously, what is with the free throws tonight?

Rose's demolition of the Bucks won me a bunch of money in vegas, so there's a temporary moratorium on those posts. They will return as soon as i spend that money.

[Old Style]

Ugly, sloppy game.

[UMFan83]

Ugh....we just can't get over that 4-8 point hump. Time is starting to become a factor.

Hahahaha

[ctcf]

Ouch. I'm guessing that seals it. It's amazing how close the Bulls have hung while playing so badly.
