It's looking more and more like the Bulls will be signing Rasual Butler. Better 3pt shooter than the other options, decent defender, not a long term option.
-
It's been a long time since the Bulls played a road game against a contender. So long, in fact, that Atlanta is more games over .500 (12) than any road opponent they've played this year at the time of the game. New Orleans was 33-22 at the time of the game, but before that you have to go all the way back to Boston at 14-4, and the LA Lakers at 12-2. If you think about it, here were the road games the Bulls played in their first 17: at OKC, at Boston, at San Antonio, at Dallas, at LA, at Denver, then at Boston again (including other road games in Phoenix, Houston and Sacramento). Since then, the only winning teams they've played on the road were New York, Portland, Utah and New Orleans. Remaining, they have 2 at Atlanta, 2 at Orlando, one at Miami and one at New York.
-
Thornton reportedly signed with the Warriors.
-
I wouldn't. The Bulls are sorely in need of a wing player that can spell Deng and either defend really well or shoot 3s really well. Preferably both, of course, but Thornton does neither.
-
If Illinois could magically retroactively cut their turnovers in half, they'd be like 26-4.
-
On another note, can we finally be done with hearing about Alabama as an at-large candidate?
-
ok, i'm sold. i take back the bad things i said about him. if he's a taller bruce bowen that can guard premier SG's and SF's, get him and get rid of the white mamba or bogans. The Bulls don't have to get rid of anyone to add Brewer, since they dumped JJ last week.
-
Brewer being recruited by Boston, San Antonio, Dallas, Miami, New Orleans and Chicago. Guess which one has the most cap room to spend?
-
Henry Abbott says a lot of nice things about Corey Brewer.
-
Boston "wins" the Troy Murphy sweepstakes.
-
Hollinger projections as of this morning have the Heat and Celtics finishing 59-23, and the Bulls finishing 58-24. Bulls odds of getting the 1 seed are up over 20% for the first time this year.
-
John Gasaway posted efficiency numbers on every meaningful conference (Big 6 + A10/CUSA/CAA/MWC/WCC/Horizon/MVC/WAC, so every feasible at-large candidate) coming into championship week. Not necessarily important for tournament qualification or even seeding, but a good measure of how good a team really should be, so you can see who is the most overrated (St. Johns) or underrated (Kentucky, Washington) going into the tourney.
-
Doesn't Ronnie make Corey sort of obsolete? I think it'd give the Bulls the ability to rest Deng more, if nothing else.
-
Wait...it's supposed to say 2012?
-
I'm sure if someone would've told the Hawks that Hendry would get injured, they'd have held on to Boynton for tonight.
-
ESPN rumor that Corey Brewer will be bought out by the Knicks. Another wing that can't shoot for anything, but a better defender than Butler, and offers more upside.
-
Could've sworn you were an Iowa fan.
-
I'd rather give Belmont and Utah State at-larges.
-
Can I hate on the SEC a bit here? This projects to be the first year since they've kept track online that a "Big Six" conference isn't going to be a top 6 conference. Partially because the MWC is better than it was last year, and partially because the SEC is actually worse than the Pac-10 was last year. That said, Kentucky is going to be woefully underseeded come tourney time. Every other team, not so much. EDIT: I forgot how bad the Pac-10 was in 2004. Worse than the A-10, CUSA and MWC that year.
-
Some team is going to be extremely fortunate to get St. John's in their bracket and not play them in NY.
-
Team A is Michigan, yes.
-
Mike Bibby agreed to a buyout today while agreeing to forgo all the rest of his salary in order to join a contender in need of a PG. Miami/LA, anyone?
-
Today's food for thought, two potential at-large candidates...well, team B is a major at-large candidate and assumed in, while team A is barely getting any consideration: Record RPI SOS Streak Last 10 Home Road Top25 25-50 51-100 100+ 18-12 (8-9) 66 21 W1 7-3 13-5 5-5 0-7 4-1 7-4 6-0 19-9 (11-3) 80 139 L1 8-2 15-0 4-6 1-1 0-1 3-6 15-1
-
This year, the RPI is even further off the better statistical ratings than usual, so it'll be interesting to see who gets chosen for what. As of this morning, BYU is the #1 team in RPI.
-
Also, my team is Illinois for this exercise, as per usual.
