What happened to Deng?

 

Ran a fast break and after the shot he could hardly walk. Look like he aggravated a hamstring injury that already had.

Well crap. I'd heard them say on the radio earlier that it was on WCIU, so watched a movie instead.

Boozer should be an All-Star.

Boozer should be an All-Star.

 

Gonna be tough. I don't buy that the Bulls (or any team) needs an all star just because their record is good. Bulls didn't get an all star the year they were a win away from the 2nd seed (06-07) and they had a similar situation with multiple borderline candidates (Gordon and Deng). I would love for the Bulls to get an all star but none of the 3 candidates has obvious all star numbers and none of them has really distinguished themselves from the other 2. Noah seems to get the most rep but there's no center spot and several quality centers to choose from. Boozer is playing like a legit all star but may have come on too late to get the nod. His numbers are still less than other candidates and he still has a negative reputation defensively, so bad that another coach mockingly voted him for all defensive team. Maybe another week of great play and might turn enough heads. Deng is probably the best overall player and has the best all star looking stats plus has broken the all star barrier before, but in terms of SFs he's still behind pierce who will get a spot.

 

I'd guess that Noah is probably the best shot at an all star because hes getting the most pub and is having a great year but it could go either way

Who are you going to pick over him as a PF in the East, though? David West? Boozer has definitely been better than Garnett this year...

Was just watching the highlights for last nights game. With all the big shots hit and improbable comebacks that game belonged in the 08-09 playoff series.

Ouch. The thing is, you know a game like Boston-Chicago is going to be on national TV.

I was supposed to go out last night and got stuck at home instead :(

 

This game made it a little better.

Well, Garnett is already in as a starter, so that doesn't matter. And the coaches won't go strictly by PF, but they'll probably follow the starter's vote method by just picking frontcourt players. Boozer is stuck in the middle of a bunch of options. Bosh, Chandler, Lopez, Boozer, West, Horford as PF/C type players. And then of course Pierce, George, Deng and the two Smiths also. Varejao getting hurt helped this a little bit, but it's still a major logjam in the frontcourt for the East.

"(I was) just playing defense," Noah said. "Just playing sound defense, just contesting his shots. He's a helluva competitor. He's always on some bulls---. Always on some bulls---."

 

"Just trying to throw elbows," Noah said of Garnett. "Cheap shots, just trying to get you off your game. But he's a vet. He's been doing this a long time but it's all right."

 

"He's a dirty player, man," Noah said at the time. "He's a dirty player. That's messed up, man ... I'm hurting right now because of an elbow he threw. It's unbelievable. He's a dirty player. It's one thing to be competitive and compete and all that, but don't be a dirty player. He's a dirty player."

 

"Nah," he said. "When we lose, I feel like he crosses the line. But since we've been beating their asses, I'm cool with it."

One of the biggest turnarounds I've ever had as a sports fan. When we drafted him I thought we drafted Tim Tebow. I despised him and his act. Now I own his jersey and defend him passionately to Boston fans.

And the Bulls got so many lucky bounces in crunch time I thought they must have been playing against one of Sulley's teams. Unreal.

No doubt about it. I thought he was going to suck coming out of college.

Also known as the old ass Celtics lost to the Bulls without their two best players on the floor.

If Noah is a bitch then what is KG? I don't recall Noah crying on national TV because he wasn't winning titles.

Watched Empire Strikes Back instead, with my 6 year old seeing it for the first time. Pretty damn good alternative.
