2014-2015 Chicago Bulls Regular Season

[Guest]

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 [expletive].

 

uh wtf are you watching the game at all?

 

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.

 

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

2TO

3AST

Not sure if you heard the interview where he said his ankle stiffened while he sat out during the game.

BREAKING NEWS: Guy returning from 2 sprained ankles doesn't go off for 40.

I'm kind of concerned about our defensive rebounding. Still early as [expletive] but it gets more and more frustrating as the other team grabs a whole bunch of offensive boards every game.

death (for the sixers) by mike dunleavy

you can only hold mdj down for so long

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Sometimes you just have to let the superstars have their points. When Mike Dunleavy gets into one of these moods, you can't stop him.

Me too but I think a lot has to do with Jo not being 100%. Jo, Gasol and Taj are all above average rebounders and I believe the Bulls over the last couple of years have been among the better teams in the league in rebounding rate. They will probably get it together.

[bcl412]

That was an annoying win.

[gscool89]

Kirk Hinrich had to be point-shaving. That was probably the worst performance I've ever seen from a Bull.

[bcl412]

I wish the Bulls would play defense.

[SpongeWorthy]

bad, bad defense and rebounding so far this year. celtics are getting anything they want.

[Tryptamine]

Getting beat down on the boards yet again tonight. Absolutely inexcusable when you have Noah/Gasol/GIbson trio. When they start to play good teams they're going to get absolutely torched.

Noah's activity level is way down. Half a step slow on everything. Really concerning when you hear about the knee being an issue.

[gscool89]

This team isn't very good. And Noah looks like he needs to sit out the rest of the season.

[Sammy Sofa]

This team isn't very good.

 

Scalding hot take 7 games into the season.

[SpongeWorthy]

Having Kirk Hinrich as your starting PG is agony.

[Tryptamine]

The mighty Kirk Hinrich 3/19 over the last two games. How the hell does he continue collecting a pay check?

[bcl412]

Getting smoked at home by a not very good Celtics team is going to concern me more than it probably should in the long run. This is disappointing though. Still confident we'll see the defense gel at some point. Still not that confident that the rebounding will be elite.

Screw elite, I'd just like to see them out rebound another team again. They've been out rebounded in 6 out of 7 games now.

6 ponit game with 2 min left

[Guest]

one possession game with a minute to go

[SpongeWorthy]

If you ever wanted a controlled experiment on who should start at PG in Rose's place you couldn't do any better than this game.

[Careless]

Can't get the rebound. [expletive] it all.

[SpongeWorthy]

Thibs fascination with Kirk is really something. Every year he takes some PG off the scrap heap and makes him a bunch of money yet he keeps going back to the well with Kirk.

 

You'd figure Thibs would put him out to pasture and just get another min vet guy.
