The Chicago Bulls Thread - Feat best 3 guard rotation of ALL TIME

[Special Agent Utah]

Shame we were off as we could have made up ground,Toronto and Washington dropped a game as well.
Toronto were very good in Portland losing in OT.
The guys struggled on the back to back, caught up a bit in the officiating, Brooks ejected early, Stacey King was spot on that someone needed to get him away from the officials before he got his second T.
It's been a good run, catch your breath then go again boys.

The officiating was absolutely terrible in that game

 

[Special Agent Utah]

Like the second half much better than first against the Nuggets.
In the first half no one could make a shot, in the second Jimmy Butler picked up the team on his shoulders (as soon as I donned my new Jimmy Butler black jersey) 26pts,8 Rebs,8 asks, 2 stls,1 blk.
Rose followed and was big down the stretch, but went 7-25.
The boys set a franchise block record, Pau was a monster with 9 Blocks out of the 18.
Jo also some key offensive boards late.
As much as Hinrich isn't loved here, he was 4-4, 10 pts and took a key charge late, a good return and an improvement on Moore who looks ok.
It will be interesting to see where the Nuggets go, they have some good players that others will value and they are a long way from the best in the West, even though they could beat anyone they can't do it consistently.

Kirk played well, Pau was great and would have loved to see a triple double with blocks. Butler just keeps going after a poor shooting night against the Net's and when things were down to the wire Derrick was massive after 11 poor shooting quarters in a row!

Nuggets are a funny one they are really struggling away from home, i thought the addition of Aaron Aff would have had a bigger affect than it has.

Addition by inaction today... Wiz and Raptors lose, so into third in the East standings.
Atlanta nearly slip versus the Jazz, Dante with a new career high (I think) of 13 points.
Wiz being found out a bit on their road trip West, still have Spurs and Pels to go.
Hawks have a few tough ones also away with Portland, LAClippers, then home to Memphis.
Wiz @ Hawks after that.

Bulls have 6 of the next 7 at home, which should be a good thing....... We need to start protecting home court. Boston next, Rockets, Jazz before the Wizards away and back home for the Bucks, Magic and another go at the Wizards.

A Good chance to make another big run, Go Bulls!!!

 

[Hodge2NormSmith]

Butler and Dunleavy out for Celts games.
Nelson, Thornton out for Celtics.

 

[stewie griffen]

Yeah danger game today

 

[hayes]

Haha I knew Thibs didn't have it in him to start Snell.

 

[kane249]

Haha gotta love Stacey King

"Pau Gasol's had more blocks this year than Boozer had in his time at the Bulls"

 

[Hodge2NormSmith]

Yeah danger game today

Damn right - not pretty but bank the OT win.
Gasol was bigger than Texas and is getting better with each game.
29 pts, 16 Rebs and 5 blocks, even hit a 3, must be the best FA signing of the season, James included.
Washington going down, just need the Blazers to look after the Hawks.

And again, Raptors lose and we move up to second now

Great game vs Houston, was fun to watch, some big dunks from Taj, JB and Niko.

Pau Pau Pau does it again, love Stacey Kings Pow Pow Pow when Gasol does something good (which is a lot).
Jimmy Buckets with big buckets and bigger D on Harden.
Niko Suarve with big buckets, a great block - Stacey King funny again with the "Niko Suarve" call after the sealing 3 ball.
Loved Rose attacking the hoop more, Jo with 6 blocks.
Loving watching them play atm.

We're looking good... Anyone seriously rate the Hawks going down the home stretch?

 

[hayes]

Have barely seen any of the Hawks this season. Not even the game we played against them so it's hard to say.

Can't defend Harden any better than what Jimmy did today. Big time three from Niko to seal the deal after missing all his previous attempts as well.

 

[Hodge2NormSmith]

We're looking good... Anyone seriously rate the Hawks going down the home stretch?

Got some good players such as Horford, Teague, Millsap and Korver.
They were going well last year until Horford got injured.
Sebolosha is a good pickup, plays D and shoots the 3.
I have been impressed by their current west coast road trip, they just don't go away.
I wonder if they will be like the Pacers last year, looked like the best team in the league at around this time but fell away, they havent had to manage too many injuries.

Korvers shooting remains ridiculous too flirting with a 50% FG 50% 3PT and 95% FT season

 

[hayes]

They can thank us for that. All he ever did before joining us was spot up, now he's running around like bloody Ray Allen!

 

[jod23]

Real solid win today. Utah next. Gotta beat Utah at home you would think. Pau has been incredible since joining us. Moved into second now but still a game and a half back from Atlanta who have been super impressive.

 

[Hodge2NormSmith]

Stinking it up vs Jazz, 54pts with 9:13 to go in the last and down by 23.....

 

[jod23]

Stunk the joint out. Horrible stuff. Atlanta with another impressive win too!

 

[Hodge2NormSmith]

Positives are we win know how on the road and get up against the good teams.
Negative is we can forget to show up against below 500 teams.
Positive is there are fewer poor teams in the playoffs.
Negative is we are in the East and below 500 teams make the playoffs......

 

[flight23]

Jimmy bout to get paid

 

[Hodge2NormSmith]

Bad first quarter vs Wiz cost us, rare bad one for JB and Gasol.

Big one against the surprising Bucks.

Rose and Dunleavy out, Rose with left knee soreness and Dunleavy now having an MRI on his ankle.

 

[Hodge2NormSmith]

Snell starting, gonna ride Pau all night he has the first 7pts.

 

[flight23]

20 point first quarter

i don't get why he plays full quarters
