2014-2015 Chicago Bulls Regular Season

[Deeg]

Sure is a good thing we brought in Gasol. We need to ignore him with Rose out, while he's being played by a SF, so Butler and Hinrich can run isolation plays.

[Deeg]

Well, thanks Wiggins for the bailout. But the Bulls deserved to lose this game.

[bcl412]

A reason to like the Cavs trade with the Wolves!

[UMFan83]

Bears and Bulls are a combined 5-2 on the road and 0-4 at home

[Ryne Ween]

There should be no comparisons between those two teams.

[Guest]

Nice nights for McD and Niko tonight.

 

Butler was a monster. If he really takes this type of step this year, I'll gladly pay him. Especially with how impactful he can be guarding LBJ.

[bcl412]

It's weird to watch the Bulls struggle to defend and rebound yet play strong offense. I'm sure the defense will get it going eventually though I do kind of worry about the rebounding. I suppose that's what Noah's for.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Milwaukee radio announcers are really whiny, in a fun way.

[Guest]

pass the ball to doug mcdermott when there's nobody within 15 feet of him in the corner for [expletive]'s sake

THE G STANDS FOR GETS

[bcl412]

I really want Butler to develop a decent jump shot.

[Tryptamine]

Rose pretty much a non factor again tonight. I know he's dealing with an injury, but at least act you give the slightest of fucks.

[bcl412]

He's got 7 assists.

Granted I was only listening on the radio, but that is not the impression I got.

i watched the whole thing and it was a really weird game for someone to bust out the "act like you give a [expletive]" stuff

[SpongeWorthy]

He looked pretty passive and uncertain but I only watched the 2nd half.

 

Thibs still not sure how to work in McDermott.

[Guest]

Will Purdue is such a [expletive] boring analyst. Can we trade him for Rodman again?

4/10 7asst 4 TO, yeah he was a huge factor.

In the 4th, outside of the one time he took it hard to the basket and drew a foul he didn't try and initiate anything. He also got lazy on two passes which resulted in two turnovers.

[Derwood]

So.....Pau Gasol, still pretty good

4/10 7asst 4 TO, yeah he was a huge factor.

 

his points per attempt were fine and he played 31 minutes and the team was clearly playing a lot better when he was in the game than when he wasn't.

 

he might've been a bit more passive in the second half because he landed gingerly on his ankle to end the first half while leaping through traffic for a board. either way, all i saw was him flying around the court when he was in the game, through passing lanes, trying to push the ball in transition and taking more than one hard landing. also whatever that taunting thing he did to knight was when he was fired up to end the half. doesn't mean anything but simply makes it an even weirder time to play the "look like you give a [expletive]" meatball card.

 

this isn't an entire season where it makes more sense to look at numbers than trying to go off your memory from watching games. this is a single game where it's silly to look at a single box score to determine a player's desire or effort level or whatever the hell you're doing.

[ChiCubsFan]

Yeah, that comment is nuts. He looked much less than 100%, but effort definitely wasn't the issue. Also I really wish passes that directly lead to a shot attempt that results in a foul, would count as assists. That might help Tryptamine better assess Derrick Rose's effort level on a given night.

A bit more passive? He was a complete nonfactor in the second half, which is a surprise with all the flying around you're suggesting he was doing.

 

0/3FG(One of these was a chucked up shot to be the shot clock)

3/4FT including the 2 he took with 5 seconds left in the game
