welp

 

One of those nights. Orlando was dying to give us this game

[Flames24Rulz]

I hate Korver.

[bcl412]

Frustrating game.

[Formerly Snayke]

How many open 3's did Korver miss? Jesus.

[bcl412]

I think that's the most pissed I've been during a game since the playoffs.

[Old Style]

How many open 3's did Korver miss? Jesus.

All of them. I lost count around 5 or 6 and that was just in the 4th. [expletive].

Kyle Korver misses three point jumper

Kyle Korver misses 25-foot three point jumper

Kyle Korver misses 24-foot three point jumper

Kyle Korver misses three point jumper

Kyle Korver misses 23-foot three point jumper

 

Two field goals in the final five minutes. [expletive].

rose's shot selection can be pretty brutal these days

[17 Seconds]

deng says he's going to need to sit a few games because the pain in his wrist is getting to be too much.

 

between this and our lack of a sg, i don't see us winning 4 straight series in the playoffs this year.

Back up the truck. I'm officially on board with trading anybody for some scoring. Rose cannot survive in a 7 game series by being the only source of offense.

1 for 7.

Brilliant.

hmailton says he'll be out at least a month.

 

a move is now a must. even if by some miracle he's ready tor the playoffs, he still won't be at full speed. what a failure he has been.

What's brilliant is sitting on your hands and getting beaten in 5 games by Miami again due to the same exact problems as last years team. In fact, Bogans > Brewer as a starting SG.

[Sammy Sofa]

What's brilliant is your idea that they "trade anyone." It's like you want them to go out there and force a bad deal just so long as it addresses one need.

[Sammy Sofa]

And holy [expletive] Hell, Bogans isn't better than anyone.

Daily dime on Espn has a great article up about tonight's game...

 

The bulls are a one trick pony and as it stands, we have two injured starters. This is a lost season without Hamilton. Not only do we lose a starter but we lose bench depth. I don't want them to force a deal, however they must do something to fix the offense at some point and the bulls have been passed up by multiple free agent all stars. Howard will be added to the list

[Sammy Sofa]

So what do you expect them to do? They can't force guys to come here/stay here. I want them to make a move, but I don't want them flipping out and actually "backing up the truck" on a deal that doesn't merit it (and pretty much all of the ones proposed that aren't Howard don't, and he's not coming here).

This article eloquently puts my thoughts in a good arrangement. The bulls are stuck in basketball hell. Rose wont be this good forever.

[Sammy Sofa]

That article does absolutely nothing to explain who you think the Bulls should or even can "back the truck up/blow the team up" for or how they're going to get "free agent all stars" to want to come here.

I think Monta Ellis can be had. Jamal Crawford might be an option. Some lessor names are out there in Beasley and Derrick Williams. I haven't looked at the FAs in upcoming years.. Either way drose is coming across the wrong way and could go a long way in wooing over some talent

I think the article is ridiculous. The Bulls are a team led by a guy who isn't even 24 and have had the best record in the NBA for the past 2 seasons. They've really had 1 playoff run. The Jazz or the Knicks never had the best record in the league, and Ewing, Stockton and Malone had many more seasons coming short. Didn't both teams make the finals only once? After years and years in the playoffs?

 

Zuba probably thought that the Mavs of last year, the Piston teams with Rip and Chauncey, and perhaps the championship Spurs teams were in basketball hell too. How about letting the Bulls lose a few before declaring that. Of course the Heat are the favorite, but declaring them an unstoppable dynasty before they even win 1 lousy championship? Didn't everyone kill LeBron for joking about this?

 

And which Bulls fan wouldn't want Dwight Howard? I'm pretty sick of the talk too. If it happens, great. But its not going to. So I wish the damn media would shut the hell up about it.

I think the article is not too far fetched. How many years can rose hold up with his size, playing style and workload?

And holy [expletive] Hell, Bogans isn't better than anyone.

 

brewer is a better basketball player than bogans, but bogans actually provided more to this team offensively than brewer does, as crazy as that sounds. at least bogans knocked down the open 3's at a good rate. defenses sag off brewer like crazy because he's completely useless on the offensive end.

 

i don't see any way we score enough points to win 4 series' against good team if brewer is starting at the 2. we can afford to lose defense there to upgrade offensively.

 

i still would have liked crawford over hamilton. we don't really have an irrational-confidence chuckers on this team, so we can afford adding one. jr smith would have been nice too.

Nobody wants Brewer as the starting 2.

 

I just disagree with guys like cubbyvirus who talk up these grandiose trade needs like he's continually on the verge of panic every time they lose a game. The Bulls need scoring improvement humps like Watson and Korver and the injury riddled Rip. It's an obvious need, but garbage like "basketball hell" is laughably ridiculous.

 

And I really don't get how Bogans was more valuable offensively, at least not at any kind of significant level. Ugh, not that it even matters; they're both hideous.
