"though time has passed, im still the future" (c) black thought

been following the season closely enough, more than most recent years. But haven't looked at the standings at all - by product of the death of newspapers. A few things surprised me a bit:

MIA - I guess bc their losses have been so bad (WAS, DET, Mil, etc) I thought they were further back, 22-8 isn't great, but still best record in East. Traks to about 55, which I think is around where they'll end up

GS - Not a surprise, but just wanted to point out there were a bunch of loud/dumb/wrong assholes that were talking all kinds of smack about Mark Jackson's coaching ability 3 games into the season. I still maintain evaluating coaching ability is the pastime of idiots.

Clips- Did just lose 2 in a row, but with the streak still surprised, thought they would have less losses than MIA

Pacers - pleasantly surprised to see us with a top4 decent record in spite of terrible start/Granger's absence/Hibbert literally stealing $$. Paul George and David West been carrying us.

I'll say this...He's had an up and down season...But if Bulls ownership actually wasn't so damn cheap they could get in the mix...U don't have to give up too much for dude right now...Mempis is just looking to get under the tax line...

Memphis doesn't have a perimeter (or any) player of Rose's caliber...That team is not similarly built than a full roster Bulls team...Because Memphis relies on Rudy to be their best perimeter guy and gets a bulk of those production from their bigs.....hence why Rudy makes perfect sense for the Bulls...

He gives the Bulls a true second option that can FINALLY get his own shot and take pressure off of Rose coming off a knee surgery...This is sorely needed for the Bulls...

It's one thing to depend on Gay to be your best player like he has been before Zebo started to take over...He's not a true no. 1 option...he never was...

But if he's your second option on a team with a true franchise player, you can do some serious damage...

Similarly built in that they play a slow pace and focus on d.

What's interesting is a straight deng for Rudy swap probably would be a decent fit fr both teams.

With what I said above I'd still rather have deng. He does every single thing better than Rudy except score and even that's debatable since Rudy shoots 41%

Randolph is the clear 1 guy on memphis. Rudy may be 2b with gasol. The offense should run through te post but too often Rudy is chucking and taking dumb shots.

I wouldn't trade Deng for Gay...And from what I've been reading, Memphis don't want a big contract like Deng's...They want a player (or players) that can help them get under basketball tax hell...

So such a move would not involve giving up Deng...I would rather keep him anyway...his defense is special...

GOAT of his era......long live Prince.....God is alive....

he gonna give you more than Deng does?

you bulls niggas keep me in party mode

Basa...U really don't read do you?

I didn't say anything about trading Gay for Deng.....

Turn it down, dog...This Duke shit is getting silly...Go party on with this bullshit...U basically said the same thing I said...

GOAT of his era......long live Prince.....God is alive....

i just mentioned deng because you suggested he'd give the bulls a true second option who can create his own shot.

you're overestimated what gay can do in comparison to deng.

you the one need to chill on the duke stuff, dogg. didn't even cross my mind.

It's about DUKE because you went nuts when I posted that the Bulls don't have a true OFFENSIVE second option thinking that I was shitting on a player from Duke...And that's still true to this day...Deng has made me a fan...Dude is the best defending SF in the league and he'll drop 18 every night...

But this has nothing to do with the Bulls lacking a another player that can get his own shot...


>you're overestimated what gay can do in comparison to deng.

I never compared Deng to Gay...in fact I said I wouldn't trade Deng for Gay because of the defense Deng gives the Bulls...


>you the one need to chill on the duke stuff, dogg. didn't even
>cross my mind.

Bottom line...Gay is a better offensive player than Deng...He just is...However, Deng does more on the defensive end than Gay...

The ideal situation for the Bulls would be to keep Deng and somehow get Gay to be Rose's Robin...

For you to turn this into another "dancing on the Bulls" jab is silly...That's why I called bullshit on this Duke shit...

Because the player in question (Deng) just happens to be from Duke...

GOAT of his era......long live Prince.....God is alive....

deng gives you 17-18 as the surrent second option and you seem to think gay would give you more as the second option.

he wouldn't.

Like you said, Gay was never a TRUE 1st option....But Gay could easily give the Bulls 20 plus points a game playing with Rose...Easily...

But, really, you are looking at points per game...I'm not...

I'm looking at HOW a player SCORES THOSE POINTS...That's more important than anything else when it comes to scoring...

Again..the reason why the Bulls have had issues in the playoffs during the last few years is because we lack a second dynamic scorer...U bottle up Rose and no one else on the team can get off his own shot...It's stagnant...

What I love about Deng is he is steady...U know what you are going to get and he's hell on the defensive end...

So give me Gay as the second offensive option and hold on to Deng as the Bulls top defender and I think the Bulls will have something...

GOAT of his era......long live Prince.....God is alive....

rudy not that type of scorer.

>rudy not that type of scorer.

This is all I know...Rudy can get his own shot...That's it...The problem with dude is he thinks he's a first option....He's not...

But playing next to Rose? He could get to the basket whenever he wanted..And he could thrive off Rose's double teams...

In fact, Gay has never played with someone who consistently drew a double team beyond Z-Bo going Beast Mode over the last season and a half...Rose playing with a 6'8 perimeter player who can post up smaller guards and get his own shot without screens, depending on set plays or kick outs?

When you get over your weird hatred for this dude you will see where I'm getting at...

Mike Conley is not Rose...I think Rudy would experience this as soon as he steps on the court with the kid...

GOAT of his era......long live Prince.....God is alive....

Z-Bo/Marc should be getting 30 shots minimum and Rudy is the one getting in the way of that not happening. wTf has Rudy ever accomplished to be on the top of the totem pole? A realistic scenario would probably be swapping him w/ Iggy. Rudy can gun w/ reckless abandon in Denver since George Karl's system is lacking a shooters and Iggy will happy feed the bigs since he doesn't have the mentality of a scorer. They can always pick up a shooter to space the floor and slide Tony to a 6th man role.

Better not play down to the competition tonight

youngest player in the league.

people get caught up in the L's, but if they can draft right, and absorb the right contract in a trade, then can have something to build on for 4-5 yrs.

If the Bulls can win the rebounding battle (namely offensive rebounding)against the Heat, we can win this game tonight...So far, so good...

I can see us hanging in for a half or so and then letting the game get away from us on a big Clips run, triggered by their fast break potential.

And a note: LaMarcus Aldridge might face more double-teams than any other player in the post.

Like, ever.

He needs to be more aggresive, though.

makes my life a lot easier. canceled NBA league pass a while ago after they blacked out random Laker games (in Seattle) and they couldn't tell me why.

and Lin has been flat out shitty. Only dudes who showed up were Patterson n Asik. add delfino to that mix. harden got it crackin late in the half.

it's difficult to watch this team late when they need to score

This game is so hard to watch these are two terrible teams.

amazing how they fucked that up....AMAZING.

i'm in!

he's getting into the lane well enough, but not finishing at the rim or making clean passes out to the perimeter. that one where he airmailed a pass almost into the stands triggered an outstandingly ugly sequence of basketball. might have more luck making this a toney douglas night, especially defensively.

monta has the worst shot selection in the NBA. those endless long jumpers would drive me insane if i cared about the bucks. at least udoh, sanders and henson can retrieve his bricks.

harden gonna score 35.

when the team is hitting them, and he comes off the pnr, the wing defender has to honor their shooters. gives him an easier path to the rin,

since he can't shoot when the D goes under the screen, and if the 3's aren't hitting, then he's played for the drive and the lane's clogged.

good thing for houston they resurrected toney douglas' corpse, harden can score/create, and when Lin's struggling, he doesn't do too much, just sticks to what works.

Tonight I get it theyre playing big scary Larry sanders the leagues leading shot blocker and a slew of tall, lanky 6'10 guys roaming but he can blow by anyone in the legue--he gets to the rim and kicks out. Tonight a bunch of those were turnovers. Take the layup, try to get fouled. Yea I get it... You don't always get calls. Who cares? Keep attacking. You're a rhythm player. You make a few and you get going. He was able to do it fine in the 2nd half after he came back from getting stitched up. That gash was nasty. But yea he just has to be aggressive. He was 0-4 with 3 of his shots from 3. That isn't his strength and won't get it done. He often hits that shot better once he gets swag from laying the ball up.

Its hurting my eyes at this point.

fucking bums

he's a one-man layup line.

With Nate and Marco able to dribble the basketball, this team will be more dangerous on offense when Rose gets back.

And with the Heat (and much of the east in general) void of big men with balls, losing Asik doesn't hurt as much.

I hope Rose comes back strong *this* year.

None of this is true....

The Bulls are doing it off of defense...They def. miss Asik, if only because of the impact he had on Taj Gibson (basically the Bulls miss the entire bench from last season, but that's another post)..

Basically, the Bulls went 2 for 18 in one quarter and still won the the game...And they are winning it because Thibs got them boys rebounding and playing D...

This was a GOOD win for the Bulls...But I still don't want Rose coming back this season...Let him rest until next season...Because this team is a first round and out...
