2011 Chicago Bulls Playoff Thread (5/26 7:30pm CST - TNT)

Not too hard to build a bench with tons of cap room and a great foundation in a big market. And Thibs was a no brainer as well. A lot of teams wanted him. He chose the Bulls because of the team in place.

 

Anyways, nobody cares about this award.

 

Well a lot of teams wanted Lebron James, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh too. Why does Riley get credit for them, but GarPax doesn't get credit for Thibs and the bench?

 

On the other hand they signed maybe the worst contract of the offseason.

They signed Joe Johnson?

Maybe, but that wasn't what was being argued.

I'd be interested in a realistic argument that shows Boozer to be the worst contract of the offseason. I can't see how it's even close, really.

[SouthSideRyan]

I was talking about Scalabrine.

[Guest]

I was talking about Scalabrine.

ah...well, in that we may agree.

[Guest]

Rudy Gay's contract, LOL

[wolf stansson]

Ya'al ain't got [expletive] on Joe Johnson.

Or Drew Gooden?

[gflore34]

I know the idea is to keep Teague out of the lane, or from getting to hoop with good defense. But, when he does get to the hoop why can't the Bulls pound his ass like Hawks have Rose?

Riley cleared cap space and actually got the big three to sign for less than max. Then he got some decent role players to sign for league minimum. You could argue that not many other execs could've pulled that off. Or wouldve even tried.

Didn't the players get together and convince each other to play together?

[gflore34]

Saw the highlights of game 4, Hawks were really proud and into themselves, I hope the Bulls pound them tonight.

[E.J.]

Nice start.

[Careless]

Every time they do a "de-fense" chant they score. I hate those games.

 

But Bogans is 3-3 with 8 points in the first quarter, so we're going to win

[Wilson A2000]

I wouldn't mind Jamal Crawford coming back to Chicago next year as the two guard. How much cap space will the great Gar Forman have to work with?

[Guest]

Yes Steve. It was a clean block. But what was Horford doing with his other hand?

[Flames24Rulz]

Hate that shot by Rose to end the quarter. Drive and if they collapse, kick it out to Bogans or Deng.

 

Still, great start to this one.

[gflore34]

God, I hate when that [expletive] oaf scores.

[gflore34]

Pound him!

[E.J.]

Why does Thibs keep having Korver guard Teague? Teague is just running around Korver.

[Wilson A2000]

Zsa Zsa is a train wreck s a player. He has no basketball talent and is always landing on someone and just throwing his body around like a rag doll.

[gflore34]

The oaf didn''t foul Boozer?

[Careless]

He cut his forehead with chi

[Guest]

All ball.
