Hah, Scal is in for 2 seconds and he gets a blocking foul.
delayed LOL on that play(seems liek a while ago)
Big Macs all around.
I think Jimmy left the hanger on his jersey
Butler's D is pretty tight so far
he needs to be the new Bowen
I'd be perfectly fine with that

with a guy drafted 31st or whatever it was

30th
Thanks

I was too lazy to think too hard about it

30 teams and all
he just needs to get some burn!
bout time

Kyle

I want a 50 point win

what’s more shocking: boozer’s stat line or korver making a shot?

ASSSSIK AND DESTROOOY!
Making this 50 points blowout please,

otherwise, I’m not going to be a happy camper

scal with the touch pass!
Scalabrine looks less comical with the shaved head
HE LOOKS LIKE A BOSS
nah... its still SCAL..
White Mamba with a Larry Legend pass
He has the knowledge and know-how for greatness...

just has less tools than a pampered housewife.

Fewest points by a team in a game this season?

70 by the Nets against the Lakers. So much for that mark.

Scal got that strut going like he's Lebron or something
id take a last second 3 from scal over bron
Every single person on the team has a point except Scal so far

and everyone has a positive +/- except CJ

I hate the Scal chants

but then you see him play and you feel the excitement and you want a Scal jersey and its a awesome but horrible feeling

totally agree

i went to the game in boston (booz’s second game) when the chants started for him lol… and even though the bulls were about to lose i still wanted him to make the final shot. ridiculous though them chanting for someone on the other team hahaha

brian stockton
john scalabrine

This shit is ridiculous
Jimmy's first bucket activates the Big Macs?

Kid’s gonna be a crowd favorite!

These rapping car commercials are garbage
white mamba showing how easy it is

They chant his name for a reason

Trash mob kicking ass
The Bulls need a 5th big

so that somebody as good as Asik doesn’t have to play in garbage time.

Gar said in the pregame that

they will eventually get another big this season.

Good, thanks for the info

If they’re not getting pryzbilia, I don’t know what they’re waiting for. Might as well let the guy learn the system.

Eric Damplier?
I forgot he's a real player

and not just an expiring contract. If he had any skill at all left, I assume the Heat would have picked him up.

Better to have him out there in a 40 point win

than Asik right?

36 years old

He’s probably retired

I want the white mamba to dunk on Lebron.
I want him to tap his fiance
BENCH MOBBBBBB
OT.. anybody hear Cousing DEMANDED trade to kings? lol
Cousing?
cousins...i am all fk-ed up sorry
cousins*
Isnt he already on the kings?
my bad.. i meant from the king...but yeah..basically they told him STFU

i mean, seriously this is the 5% of idiot prima donna trolls in the NBA that cause the lockout to be what it was for the players

TO the Kings?

Man that guy is high all the time dawg

haha just hangover
I want scal to score

just so every player scores

just checked the score for the first time since the 1st quarter

holy shit balls

Scal just toying with the crowd now
Scal is such a tease.
Scal is rebelling against the crowd chants, and refusing to shoot
FUCK! I HOPE WE WEE-UN!
DAMMITT SCAL, TAKE SOME SHOTS
GEDDEM Sam Young is in double digits
so was josh davis
lol White mamba with a kobe move
I don't get this Scal thing
Its a Jersey thing

you wouldn’t understand

He's bad and white

like the good kind of bad?

Nope. Just the bad kind.
Where is my 50 points blowout??

only 46…

Thibs is going to make them run suicides
i remember losing to a much better team in soccer when i was a kid 10-1

i scored the only goal for my team, and fantasized that the other team would have to run sprints because of it. It was an odd fantasy.

Lucas pulling a Hilton Armstrong moment
uh oh Sam Young hit double figures

Thibs will be furious

Thibs got his Rifle Ready.
Josh Davis did too

Thibs is gonna go rampage in that locker room.

I don't even know who that is

Brad Miller wannabe

Thats the point
Ugh

they shot over 30%, got 20 points in the quarter and we only won by 40. I’m disappointed.

Sure, they beat a better team by more points than what the Heat did to Charlotte, but still…

Scal is the King of pump fake, bitches
Not happy with the CJ situation, tho
Ronnie Brew with the +48 of the night
he's like Bobby Orr
the starters were just under a +40 average

sick

Scal was mad trollin
Memphis starters: 21 points combined.

LUOLZ!

Yes yes, Randolph got hurt, but stats are stats.

They had no dunks.
sign arenas gogogogog
Kobe has taken more shots than Gasol and Bynum combined

and made less than each of them. LAKERS BASKETBALL BABY!!!

kobrick is in midseason form
Hey now, LA brought in a coach that won't take any nonsense

from a star…a guy that has no give in him, a guy who makes his players tow the line

LeBron got engaged.

So, who’s the girl just looking for money?

They have two kids together and

have been together for years.

I know.

High school sweethearts, I believe.

... the mother of his children.
somewhere theres a finishing joke in here
Is he going to follow MJ's footsteps as well?
delonte west is going to be lebron's best man
I bet it's Wade, and Bosh won't be invited.

hahaha

That's what his mom said
Mother of his kids?
hope cj is okay.

he’s arguably more vital to this team than rip.

no way.
Yeah, that's quite a stretch there.
I agree with him

who runs the bench offense with no CJ? Brewer is good enough to be a starter.

If he's hurt

It may make sense to move Brewer into the starting 5 and let RIP run with the bench mob.

I like CJ as backup PG

Last year’s Denver game proved he can run the team when necessary.

So, if Cj is gonna be out, the Bulls will probably sign another PG, right?

But, question is, is that PG going to play next to Lucas?

Nate Robinson

ftw

i like nate but is he going to play 3rd string?

How’s Thibs rotation going to be? I see him playing ronnie at PG

No way does Ronnie play at PG

no dribbling or creation…Robinson has played that sparkplug role his whole career

Okay, if the Bulls hasn't sign someone yet in time for their next game

and CJ is still out, He’ll give Cj’s minutes to Lucas? yikess..

I'm thinking Arenas might not be a bad pickup at all.

He might be able to do some creating still.

don't see the Bulls leaning towards him even for vet's minimum
Then I'd go with Nate Robinson.
i like him too

he is not a head case, right?

he kinda is

but I think its more of a small dog mentality rather than, “bring guns to a locker room” mentality

haha

When he was in OKC i didn’t hear any write ups about him complaining, so i think he’ll be alright attitude wise.

He was pretty silly in Boston...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fc0Ql7UqIiw

Robinson is a gangster.

That may not be a bad thing. There is way too much risk in bring in Arenas for such a small role.

I don't think Arenas tries to be an idiot...

I just don’t think he knows any better. Like Kanye. Not like that condones any of his actions though.

oh yeah that one

he was pretty dumb!

Well I thought there was a little discorse there in OKC

about him not playing at all after the trade…but I’d imagine between his time with Thibs in Boston and his offense he’d be a welcome addition to the bench mob if CJ is out for a while

I'd rather get Nate Robinson

at least he’s used to a bench/small minute role. What do you do with Arenas when CJ comes back?

give him a tiny plastic gun to hold on the bench

buy him a gun
cry yourself to sleep
Arm wrestling with Thibs.
LOL to all of that ^
He'll create

a poisonous locker room atmosphere.

why, does he secrete toxic gas?

he’s one dude without a job going to a team full of hard workers.

The Magic took a chance on him using this line of thinking

Seemed like he was a chucker when he was in games. He didn’t seem very engaged, and didn’t seem to be much of a team player, from what I saw.

dwight was pissed when they amnestied him. he'd still be on the team if he didnt make billions
Good thing Dwight

Not a GM

...
he was a chucker

I like 3J more than most around here, but I think he can be classified as a chucker, at times.

Plus,

it seems like the current Bulls brass is high on hard-working gym rats who keep their heads down and work hard. I just don’t see Arenas fitting that mold, no matter how much talent, or how much he might have left in the tank. (I also don’t think he has that much left in the tank, by the way, given multiple knee injuries.)

i get you and i agree they wont sign him

i just think the “poisonous locker room” thing is a cop out a lot of times. Fits Cousins tho probly lol

Yeah definitely fits Cousins more so

But if you think about it, the Bulls brass & Thibs have gone to great lengths to create a very specific vibe in the locker room, where everyone buys in, no one does his own thing, everyone works his ass off. And a lot of these guys are kind of young, too.

I just can’t imagine them risking all of that by bringing in a guy who’s a little bit of a head case, a little bit of a lone wolf, and a guy who is used to being able to freelance offensively. Plus, he’s got this horrible blemish on his record in terms of “character”, which the Bulls value so highly.

Heck, I myself would warn Rose to stay the hell away from him if I could. There is literally nothing he could add that would be good or constructive, that would not be outweighed by the risk. I mean, if there is, I can’t think of it.

Kobe

6-28

efficiency at its finest

sounds like a d-rose statline from last season

worst time for him to get his 28k point

king chucker.

Can't imagine that Aflalo and Andre Miller were that good on D...

Maybe his injury(ies) are finally catching up with him?

Afflalo is damn good on defense

which is why people wanted him so badly. Kobe may be sore, but his injuries don’t make him shoot it 28 times if he’s not feeling right. He could have given it to Gasol or Bynum instead.

Wow, I had no idea.

That sounds pretty impressive—will get around to looking at his defensive stats eventually, I think.

That does make sense, tho, since a lot of ppl on here, and some pundits as well, seemed to think he was the best fit for the Bulls this off-season.

Nate Robinson!!!!!
X-ray was negative on CJ's elbow

but will do more testing tomorrow.

good to hear

and glad they have the day off. well from a game at least lol

i still feel bulls should have signed tmac

he could be trusted with pg duties….although i think jl3 can be trusted with 10 min a game, rip should be back as well.. Korver…put him on the trading block

Tmac would have solved that problem

It’ll be more like 6 min a game for Lucas if the game is close.

All we can do now is pray for blowouts.

McGrawDHBulls C.J. Watson has left elbow sprain, MRI tomorrow. Sounds like it won’t be too bad.

KC:
CJ in a sling. Noah said he thinks he’s out awhile. Thibs said X-rays negative and they’ll know more on Monday. #Bulls
god damn....

was watching the post game interview thibs looked down…..

watson hurt kills us!!

You all saw the white mamba passing

He’s getting ready to be the point forward of the Bench Mob

McGrawDHBulls Bulls are always reluctant to add a new personality to locker room, so I’d say there’s very little chance of a C.J. replacement.
and Pargo got signed by the Hawks
Allen Iverson anyone?
If this is a joke

it’s a bad one

Hahaha! Good one.
from what i hear

he’s not a big fan of practice

So...

is the condensed schedule and Iverson fantasy?

Is this what we're really talking about?
mike bibby anyone
He's on a team?
idk did he get picked up
Yes he did, he's on the Knicks.
oh ok didnt know that he did
He's like the Knicks best guard
Person who is under 6'6" and can dribble anyone
what about earl boykins?
Aaron Brooks, if he leaves China?
Not gon happen
Besides, people don't want Arenas because he's an idiot...

Well, Brooks aint much different.

Yeah, but mostly

the Bulls will not bring in anyone that has even the slightest possibility of having a personal agenda. Personally, I think they’ll ride with Lucas for a few games just to see if he’s capable. Unless he’s a complete disaster (or CJ’s injury is REALLY serious), that’ll probably be the guy.

...
Unless he’s a complete disaster

Yeah, he was backup PG for one game, and I rarely blame a game on one player, but that game, was all his fault. CJ played his ass off, and from what I remember, Noah was like 20-15. and Deng was like 25-10. EVERYONE played their asses off, and Lucas screwed it up.

They'll do a 'Caleb Haney', eh?
I just hope John Lucas III doesn't also do a 'Caleb Haney'...
a "Caleb Haney" would be Rose going down, and the Bulls starting Lucas for half the season

and as he continued to lose them games, they would deny that he sucked

Is it true that Thibs is not under contract for next year?

If so, that needs to change, like now.

I believe it's a team option for next year
Oh, alright

I was gonna say, I can’t believe that story hasn’t gotten more burn. Still, they should probably lock him up soon. He definitely deserves it.

is acie law any good?
Dude was clutch as hell in college...

Only person I’ve ever seen silence Allen Fieldhouse, and he was being guarded by Brandon Rush too.

Adam Morrison was clutch as hell in college...
If one of the SG's got hurt, I actually wouldn't mind giving him a shot.
Acie seemed to hit EVERY game winner in college
