Re: 2012-13 Chicago Bulls Thread

Just get the ball on the rim. You know we'll have to win dominating the offensive glass. Can't afford not to get shots up.

 

They've spent the first 5 minutes of the quarter throwing the ball away.

[Andy]

Stunningly, the refs don't reward LeBron for his flop.

[USSoccer]

Really? You're going to let Norris Cole knock you out?

[USSoccer]

Welp, that was a cool 3 quarters.

[Wilson A2000]

At least it wasn't a blowout

[Andy]

Wade pulling his "suddenly I'm not injured anymore" crap again, and this is likely my last NBA game until Halloween.

[USSoccer]

That's Miami ball.

[Andy]

It's so frustrating to watch Boozer. He's really good, but he could easily be so much better if he were just a stronger rebounder and finisher

[Andy]

Well, that was a [expletive] way to end the season

[Careless]

What a horrendously stupid last possession. Someone shoot the [expletive] ball.

[SpongeWorthy]

Reggie Rose must be relieved these guys didn't gut out the series longer than the 2011 team did.

 

Oh well. Hopefully someone pulls a minor miracle and takes down Miami.

[SpongeWorthy]

Tom Thibodeau might solve basketball with a healthy Rose and Deng and Jimmy as a starting 2 btw

Whatever that is.

Noah should get a statue outside of the UC based on this season.

Defense?

[chuckywang]

Think Rose will be ready for the opener?

[Wilson A2000]

If Rose practices with team USA, is that a good thing? Do you want him to be involved in something closer to game action, or can that wait for the preseason?

We'll see how God is feeling in November

I actually want him with Team USA. I'd rather him not be tentative at all when the real games start. Plus, I think that's a good way for him to measure his game against the best in the world, rather than preseason games that nobody cares about. I'm sure I'm in the minority here, but that's how I feel.

No, I agree too. I want no part of Rose still being tentative in October.

Hell, I can't imagine why anyone who isn't a meatball wouldn't want him playing ASAP, even if it is goofy Team USA [expletive].

Unnecessary time on the knee where he could injure that or something else is always the concern

He isn't going to injure his nee because he had previously hurt it. Its healed. Let him play Team USA, Rucker Park, whatever, so long as he's ready in November.

[Wilson A2000]

A totally new injury could occur. Easy to say when you're not paying him $17 million a year.

[SouthSideRyan]

Would it be more likely to occur with Team USA than with the Bulls? It's not like his knee has so many cuts left in it until it explodes and you'd be wasting some on exhibition games.
