2013-2014 Chicago Bulls Thread

[UMFan83]

Oh, hey, still looks like it was a good idea for Rose to come back earlier than he did.

 

He...bothers me. He's just SO dumb.

 

Yeah. I have no worries that he will be a star again but I've soured on him as a person in general the last year or so

 

 

And you'll sweeten on him as a person soon enough again. Come on.

 

I didn't say I dislike him. Just sick of his personality. I defended him throughout the injury saga last year, so I'm the last person to call out for hating on him.

[Soul]

He will be a demigod again if the Bulls get their [expletive] together up until we flame out in the playoffs.

 

Then we'll realize he's a turd again.

I don't think I've ever been so bothered by an athlete being [expletive].

[bcl412]

I don't think I want to watch anymore until we stop turning it over every other possession.

Embarrassing offensive performance tonight. Can't wait for a new cast of players

[Guest]

yea, this core has been soooo awful the last 3 seasons. they didn't win a title, so they're irrelevant.

[Banedon]

Man the Score was a fun listen on the way to work this morning. Everyone sucks and has to go, there are multiple players on the Pacers better than any Bull, GarPax didn't sign a superstar in the offseason, Rose needs to go, Deng needs to go, Noah needs to go, Dunleavy really needs to go. There's no heart, no one cares, the players are giving up on Thibs, Thibs is giving up on the players, Thibs wants to stick it to Gar by making his players suck, Rose wants to stick it to Gar for not getting him help by underperforming, Rose is still hurt, Rose should have came back in the playoffs to get the rust off, Deng has given up on the Bulls, etc etc etc etc

 

These will be the same people calling in to praise the Bulls in January when they are 35-14.

[Ryne Ween]

I consider this 1-3 start to be very insignificant in terms of how I feel this team will be; making the Lakers firing of Mike Brown that much more ridiculous in retrospect.

Not as ridiculous as this comparison.

This team is not going 34-11.

Why not?

 

2010-2011: Bulls started out 12-10, finished 50-12

2011-2012: Bulls went 50-16

2012-2013: Bulls started out 8-8 finished 37-29 w/o Rose

 

If you don't think its possible for them to play 62 win pace over the next 45 games, you are placing too much emphasis on 4 games with:

-a reaclimating Rose

-Noah basically having his preseason

-a brand new offense installed

-games against the Heat, Knicks and Pacers with 3 of the 4 on the road

Supposedly these are the pajamas jerseys the teams on XMas day will be wearing

Saw that, they look like some cheap knock off pseudo-jersey you can buy at a Wal-Mart or like a JC Penny's for $20. Unfortunately I think the sleeves are going to become permanent once they start having advertising on jerseys to create more space to put ads. I've gotten rec-league jersey's that look better.

i hate the nba t shirts. Is there anyone on earth that likes them?

[Careless]

Funk has never been as disgusted with the Bulls as he is right now.

[bcl412]

Stop turning the ball over.

[bcl412]

15 turnovers for the half and still up by 11. Utah blows.

[SpongeWorthy]

Utah might not win 10 games this year

[SouthSideRyan]

Utah might not win 10 games this year

 

The 2 PGs on their active roster are John Lucas and Jamaal Tinsley who is apparently still in the NBA

[Derwood]

So four starters had 27 or fewer minutes, but Deng had 38? Jesus, Thibs

Was trying to get him a triple double. He couldn't get that 10th assist.

So, yeah.

Reggie says things. Rose doesn't have an opt out, and isn't going anywhere.

[Cubswin11]

I started doubting it and just about stopped reading when it said it's source was Stephen A. Smith and then I just closed the link and laughed when it said Smith's source was Reggie Rose. Just isn't happening. Rose would be leaving somewhere between $30-40 million on the table (depending on escalators in salary cap/salaries) if he decides to sign elsewhere when he does become a FA.
