Rose is playing like a Boss
This is an ass kicking.
only allowed 28 PTA at the half.

I love it

*28 pts
Can't get the game here in Denver.

Why isn’t Rip Hamilton playing?

Groin injury.
Is it bad?

Will he miss a lot of games?

I think he's dead
If he's dead, does he go on injured reserve?
I dunno, hopefully it voids his contract
it's a pretty serious case of death

at least 3 weeks.

I hate it when guys wimp out and die ...

Suck it up, man!

Ok all, gotta go. Go Bulls!

The announcers were talking about him suiting up before the game started.

But he didn’t. I don’t think it’s serious, just the Bulls playing it safe.

Thanks.

Don’t let them let up in the 2nd half.

word
league pass is free right now
Have to take my wife to dinner.

She doesn’t understand the finer things.

Your kitchen burn down?

Alright, how the hell does Memphis suck this bad.

Their roster is incredible but they consistently under-perform. Top 5 center and power forward. Top 10 SF. Reasonable backcourt with a damn good OJ Mayo as a 6th man. Any thoughts?

dude

conley isn’t playing. Zach Randolph got injured.

If those two are available, this would be a completely different game.

we were beating their ass

with zach in the game

We too lost a starting guard. We were also killing them when ZBo was on the floor.

They are also only 1-4, even with Conley and playing against teams that are much worse then the Bulls.

they weren't playing well

it went from “not playing well” to a blowout when ZBo got hurt

They haven't played well yet this season! With complete roster continuity!

The only time that they have played to their talent level was the end of last season. In my opinion, there is something bad in the culture there. Also, ‘incredible’ roster is admittedly hyperbolic.

Small Sample Size?

Not exactly tbe same thing, but last year we did start 9-8.

right now, a bunch of their players are hurt

other than that, i couldn’t tell you

no frontcourt depth, injuries
Pargo
It's a family curse.
Boozer is a beast
Ok, for the late comers, Rip injured his groin, it isn't bad and he didn't start.
Is it in a sling?
on a boat and it needs crutches.
i think the medical term is banana hammock
*butthead voice*

Hehhee. ….he said late..comers..hehehehe

6-22, 60 yards INT, Loss... PLAYOFFS TIMESSS!!!!

F—- you, Tim Tebow. You’re the luckiest guy in the history of professional sports.

I don’t care if this is a Bulls game thread. It needed to be said.

he just wanted orton to feel good lol
right--

just being a good samaritan…

yes fuck teblow.
Deng forgot how to shoot 3s
sorry reply fail
It was a great reply
that's why women should stay in the kitchen
another great reply!
yea I'm horrible.at thus on my phone
ahem....WHAT??????????????
except for sue

I was kidding btw

I figured as much :)
Ed Pickney.

Seems like a good, solid ass’t coach from that one interview…

Rose making Steve Nash like passes tonight.
damn

Who’s the tweaker that’s checkin in…he looks like he bout to do a cartwheel lol

No Zbo

and still not posting up Gasol

So, who is better: Brewer or Mayo?

I don’t think the answer is obvious at this point….

I think Mayo may be the victim of a bad situation,

granted he isn’t handling it well, but I think he would shine in the right situation.

been hearing this forever

he could strangle a baby and people would blame memphis. he’s mediocre.

Agreed

but the way memphis has handled it has been terrible. They could have traded him for value instead of letting him rot on their bench. Another big man, even that guy they tried to trade for from Indiana, would look really good about now.

30pt lead

Cmon Thibs, Gimme some Jimmy and rest Deng and Rose

can we put in Butler yet?
Bulls getting a lot of calls
is it too early for SCAL
Booz is playing great, but...

Because we’re up so much, it seems like a lot of this is just garbage time.

Guy’s been playing sub-par for so long that games like this are just flukes…

he is playing well since the game started
His awesome play is the reason this game is in garbage time in the 3rd quarter
Now that is fun!
Thibs saying Rick Brunson may get some burn
Booz screamin on that Jo oop
in his defense I was too
"Who says LA is Lob City?"

…after the Bulls had ONE alley-oop. Love it…

There's a curfew of one ally-oop in Chicago's Lob City.

But the great thing about it is there’s no whining.

This is dumb, please put in the bench
They'll play the whole 4th.

Except Deng. He has to play 39 minutes per the rule.

Was actually inscribed in the new CBA.

One of the first items upon which the owners and players agreed.

Pargo 2-12

making the Pargo family proud

How is Mayo not getting more playing time

in a blowout like this? Suspicious…

lol at the score
I cannot describe how happy I am

can we keep them under 60?

if the bench mob gets in yet

yes…and theres the Scal chants

maybe 50

They should put in the bench. They can still keep them under 50 as their defense is as good as the starters. Put in Butler for Gods sake.

no more attack mode derrick, run offense

we dont need injuries

Scal chants.....
oh gawd

scalabrine

Scal-a-brine! chants already lol
I wish there were 'WE WANT RYDER' chants.

Even if he couldn’t show up… but then we’d hear ‘WOO WOO WOO! You Know It! Oh radio!!!’ and then the crowd pops and history is made at the United Center!!!

WE WANT MUHAMMAD HASSAN

Pargo needs to be playing in the developemental league
Indiana is pretty much like playing for a D-League team...

O wait…your talking about a different Pargo.

I love how he makes bad ass faces after a dumb play

like trying to scare people from saying how much he sucks

"Thank God there was a backboard"

lololol

boy howdy

this is like the washington generals vs the globetrotters… ass whooping

that a boulder ...not jsut a brick
Why not just put Mayo at the point instead of Pargo
Can't wait to watch the bench come in fresh and allow -3 points all 4th qtr
go for 100

Just do it

Despite this game, Rose needs to play better.

4-10 and only 6 assists from our MVP point guard is unacceptable. Maybe Thibs should have played CJ more. The offense isn’t running well and we need to get Boozer going more!!!!!!!

- Sincerely, Irrational Fan

Bulls need to keep this up. They can get rid of that 49 point record that the Heat gave them.
Pargo is playing his way out of the league tonight
Bulls playing in rookie.

They need to turn up the difficulty.

Guess this ain't Tony Allen's house anymore...
He was probably scared that those gangsters were still trying to kill him
This Davis is awful
thank goodness i sold my tickets for tonight
oh shit!

nevermind, I would’ve been happy paying for that Asik dunk

No plans on resting Deng until he becomes an AllStar
This is...I just...wow
lol @ old ass funk

Can’t tell the diff btw brewer n deng

ASIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIK

AND DESTROY!!!!!!!!!

asik destroy
Like others have said, it is interesting that Mayo isn't getting more burn with Conley out

If the Grizz wouldn’t deal him for Brew+2 firsts you would thinkthey would want to play him more….

And the Scalabrine chants begin

Also, I apologize for thinking Memphis had even the slightest chance of beating us.

Haha Stacy with the Metallica reference.
LOL AT THE SCORE
SEARCH ANNNNDDDD ASIK AND DESTROY!!!
Asik with the post move!
ASIK AND DESTROY!
Kareem Asik!
Asik with the post moves!
Can Memphis even reach 50?
Omer Asik makes a 4-foot hook shot in the lane

WTF?

2012 might really be apocalyptic.

MAKE MEMPHIS SCORE 48

OUR 13 YEAR OLD RECORD OF 49 POINTS MUST FALL

Man, can they put in Butler already.
Memphis has made their last 3 baskets.

Time for a Thibs timeout of fury!!!

I wanted some Hot Sauc3 damn it!
KEEP ALL PLAYERS IN SINGLE DIGITS!
Was Thibs still yelling

During that timeout?

theyve scored 3 baskets in a row?!?!

put the starters back in

just kidding, by the way

call a god damn timeout thibs

this is getting out of hand

going to have to bring the starters back in if this gets under 40
cj playing like ass today
lol violet palmer

classic

Violet is stupid
violet is fucking blind
what kind of bs is that?
need close up view to see if id do her
No, you definitely don't
That might have just cost us the game.
Violet, there's a thing called buzzer
come on thibs

some jimmy

AWESOME HUSTLE BY ASIK
Aseeeek Showtime
A

FOURTH QUARTER LINEUP

LUCAS-BUTLER-DENG-SCALABRINE-ASIK

yup, gotta get Deng his 40 minutes or he will brake down
or break down too. :P
I LOVE THIS FUCKING TEAM
what a start to the season for ronnie

lovin it

DO-MI-NA-TION

CLAP-CLAP-CLAP-CLAP

When's the last time Scalabrine played an entire quarter?
Dunno, but it's about to happen

how awesome would it be for him to score like 10 pts?

When’s the last time Jay Cutler didn’t throw an INT in a game?

Seriously
Jay's good, he was playing great before the injury.
Hide and Asik!

Hide the women and children, the Omer is here!

Asik may not be a great offensive player

but don’t you dare play dwarves against him

Asik and Destroy is trending on twitter right now.
and the 15 million 15 and under teenagers are saying

“what does ask and destory mean?”

k thibs, time to let butler get some burn
SCal needs to get his touches first
Rip would be an awesome 6th man wouldn't he?

Dare I say a favorite to be the 6th man of the year if ever.

R-Truths says

PUT LIL JIMMY IN THE GAME!!

Release the Mamba!
Korver upsets me
Korver cant even earn his paycheck in garbage time
MEMPHIS Scoring leaders are a Countdown.LOL

korver is so fucking awful.

Release MJ!

Mamba and Jimey!

can we trade korver for a trade exception like odom?

This Davis guy

he has that crazy “I can make it” moxy..

I want some hot sauce!

Then again, save your bullets for a bigger game.

OH NO WATSON IS DOWN

uh oh

come on cj

shit

and now we’ll be seeing Lucas

Cue John Lucas missing free throws
what happened?!?!?!??!
Oh man.

If he got hurt in a 40 point blowout… That is some tragic shit.

uh oh looks like CJ hurt his wrist

Cmon Thibs put the scrub mob

And now I've got two guys speaking spanish

instead of a Watson replay

time to trade for JJ Barea
damn, I hope CJ is ok.
crap

as much hate CJ gets from fans, he’s still a pretty decent backup

yah he is out.... and time to hire back up PG
Trade for Steve Nash
please put Butler in before we lose someone else in the rotation

OH SHIT JOHN LUCAS

IS IN

THE GAME

lucas lucas lucas...sigh
is it bad that i soon as i saw Zach go down, I went to trade him in my fantasy bball?
i went to see if his backup was available

and decided i didn’t want that guy under any circumstances.

Rest Brewer pls

neil funk: “lucas hasn’t played this year”

shouldve added last year too

Boy Brewer is hot

can’t miss

so what PG is really available to sign up
Arenas? Iverson? Hmmm.
TRADE FOR OJ MAYO!!!!
Arenas
Not really a PG...I don't think...
Nate Robinson
Is that true? He might not be a bad choice....

FUCK KORVER TRADE HIM

AND SHOOT IT LUCAS

Korvers shot is broke
Couldn't agree more!!

What, with his 58% 3 point shooting entering the game. He should be shooting 75% damnit!!!

Bulls should amnesty him HA
really don't want this to get below 30
Stacey just about said

every once and a while the sun shines on a dogs ass

LOLOL lucas is the black scalabriini
John Lucas is shooting 100% from mid range
Quick trade him for Dwight!
Bring on the Human Victory Cigar!
really really want to hold all the Grizz to below 10 pts

that’d be awesome!

Lucus again....
Gimme some Jimmy!!!!!
John Lucas is shooting 100% from 3pt range
and again...holy shit
Big Macs on the way
oh my

John Lucas?

JOHN ROSE?!?!?!
two in a row for lucas
Whoa Lucas. He's pulling a Teague on CJ.
This is too fucking funny
Haha! That would be the Scalabrine moment of last year had that fell.

JOHN ALLEN

RAY LUCAS

Put Deng back in
why?
hasn't played 35 minutes yet
He's only played 32 minutes so far
That's good.
Trade Rose for Howard please
and have lucas be the Howards PG? ?:rolleyes:
The sarcasm

you missed it

Please give Jimmy some burn
Lucas feeling like Derrick Lucas
'Here's johnny'! "lmao
He's probably been waiting to use that all season.
OVERREACTION....LOL.Love it.
Can they play Butler now or what?

This is insane. Thibs is just not going to develop the kid. Why did they even draft him?

yes please... bring on butler...i think tibbs even forgot he had him
he was was about to enter

Stacy King is “crazy”…LOL

omg STOP earning yourself more time on this team, Carlton.

K.C Johnson @KCJHoop 1m Reply Retweet Favorite ยท Open
Jimmy Butler coming to scorer’s table for NBA debut. #Bulls

Yahoo
yayayaya

game…blouses

Stacey is about to have a win attack
OT: Lebron's girlfriend is a looker which is needed so the kids dont get all the ugly from Lebron.

you think the babies will be born almost bald too?

they already have 2, and baldness is from the mother's side of the family correct?
Enter: DeLonte
Lucas-Korver-Jimmy-White Mamba-Stacy King

Yes.

why ruin the lineup with korver?

In the 1 and a bit year/s Lucas has played for us

is this only the 2nd time he’s gotten court time and 1st time he’s scored?

I hope CJ is Ok

else we need to sign a decent PG. As funny as Lucas is playing right now, I don’t want him as backup to Rose

they just said it's his elbow but not sure what is wrong with it.
OH SHIT

SCAL

SCALABRINE SDJGSDLKGJKLSDKLGLKSGSG
