2013-2014 Chicago Bulls Thread

[Sammy Sofa]

Yesssss. This thread was already off to a roaring start of hilarity, but now the master is here to show all the noobs how it's really done.

 

Everybody is freaking out sooo much and you're so cool and calm and stuff. Yeah! You show em!

 

:roll:

 

Not sure why you're saying this like it's a bad thing, but alright.

[Wilson A2000]

This team is just poorly constructed. You can't make shots, you won't win. Not just one game, been like this for years.

 

Are you talking about two out of the last three years where they had the best record in the league?

 

Masters of the regular season, until the wheels fall off because the Dusty Baker of basketball is running his glue guys into the ground by playing them too many minutes in meaningless games.

 

What a short-sighted response to a valid point.

 

Also lets ignore the fact they had the best defensive bench in the league by a mile in 2010. That bench is LONG gone.

 

What's valid about saying the Bulls haven't won when they actually have? Nothing.

[SouthSideRyan]

I don't think you're going to find anyone who wouldn't mind him playing his key players less, but almost all of the major injuries/medical injuries that have sidelined Deng, Noah and Rose in the playoffs under Thibs have happened regardless of their playing time. How many times is this meme going to come up like he's actually causing injuries with the playing time he's dishing out?

 

I wouldn't be so worried about the short term as much as the early burnout on these guys careers.

[Derwood]

I'm not saying that Thibs should just cut minutes across the board, but when they're beating the 76ers by 30 in the 4th, take Rose/Deng/Noah the [expletive] out of the game

[cubbyvirus00]

Or when Thibs puts all his starters back in, in the 4th quarter of a preseason game

Right, which is why I said there's nobody who wouldn't be fine with him playing guys less, but the repeated talk as if he's overused guys already to the point of injuring them is just bunk.

melo was the guy we needed

 

 

:lol:

 

the thing the bulls still need most is another guy who can create his own shot and score by himself. there aren't many players better at that than carmelo. he had one kind of bad year. durant/westbrook works, and so would melo/rose.

Yeah, I thought the Bulls were title contenders. But then that happened, and it ruined any chance they had.

I don't think this team is as good with Carmelo at SF over Deng.

[UMFan83]

Rose did not participate in shootaround today and is a game time decision tonight with a sore neck. Sounds like its leaning towards him missing the game.

 

bulls will never be healthy

 

Edit: nevermind now he says he's playing. Nothing to see here

[Banedon]

Rose says he's playing, per Schuster on the Score.

LOLOLOL

[gscool89]

Another incredible shooting performance.

[SouthSideRyan]

The MVP chants in the middle of a 6-21 performance in the 2nd game of the season is an interesting choice

[rawaction]

Boozer has allowed 3 offensive rebounds in a row.

[SouthSideRyan]

Kerr was so eager to rage against the replay rule that he didn't bother watching the replays showing it was clearly off of Rose

[gscool89]

0-2

[SpongeWorthy]

Knicks should be embarrassed this game is close.

[Brian]

dross still drose, but too soon

There's definitely a team that should be embarrassed as the time winds down in a 20-9 4th quarter, and it sure as [expletive] isn't the Knicks.

[SpongeWorthy]

Ohhhhh that was a tough [expletive] shot.

[SouthSideRyan]

I don't know how that went in

[Sammy Sofa]

Sorry, 20-11.

[bukie]

dross still drose, but too soon

Got to give this team especially the chance for the OReb.

[SouthSideRyan]

I predict a terrible look for Anthony
