Can we play more games against the Suns?
i think we have cleveland tomorrow

so basically, yes.

It's friday

Yes, they Bulls have two days off! Cleveland then Charlotte.

FREEZE IT!

OKAY, GO AHEAD AND ROLL IT!

yeah!!

09 flashback

Did JoNo just go coast-to-coast?!?
Reminded me of the Celtics game
ok....

let’s hear it, Noah fans…

Jo is looking very spry

Bulls are ballin

DERE IT IS!

noice…

JoNo killin things
This is fun, but if we start getting Scalabrine chants in the 3rd quarter I'm outta here
I'm waiting for the Butler chants myself ^_^
that would be less obnoxious
Heat on a 34-7 run
damn it SAS

all you have to do is keep it close and wait for the 4th quarter meltdown

They are destroying that 3rd quarter.
expect to never hear the end of it
They are seriously a better basketball without Dwyane Wade

I don’t care what anyone says

This version of Wade, since he's been banged up

But Wade has been pretty dominant when he’s been healthy.

its b/c wade and lebron are similar kind of players (except wade does better in the 4th Q than Lebron, hehe)
All it really does is provide outstanding amazing depth
hope he's getting himself sorted out cause I fucking love that man when he's on
I just tuned in and... oh my...

Can someone please explain how Boozer had 26 points in the first half? Did the NBA introduce 4-point shots?

12/15 from the field...
Yeah, I gathered that.

I guess I am more interested in the “how did he go 12-15 in the first half” question, but anyway…

It's really beginning to look as if Noah

Is going to play well and hustle in one game out of three, struggling the other two. And if so it has to be a lack of off season cardio.

you are right...this might be the result off too much bulk rather than being mroe cut
Damn the whole frontcourt is playing really well.
I like reading this sentence.
The season is still young

they will get their consistance back

I hope so

its a huge difference when they’re feeling it

Wow nice one on one move by Rip!
No Rose? No problem!!!!!!!
Btw, when is Alvin Gentry getting fired?
When is Nash being traded to a contender?
Tomorrow after the Knicks game
the other day ESPN analysts were choosing the worse roster in the NBA

one of them picked the Suns
I agree

full of bench guys and guys who could be the 5th guy on a contender
The Suns are getting slapped around like a 5 year old at KMart!!
I first read that as MKart, and laughed hard.
I wish Nash and Hill is on a better team
same. its sad to watch
like chicago

having nash and hill with the bench mob, we’ll be unstopabull lol

Boozer missed a shot

he’s gone cold.

scal a brine, scal a brine
But-Ler! But-Ler!
Always nice to see Deng hit a 3

I’m just assuming that his shooting has been off because of tired legs

Noah is all scratched
How is that an offensive foul?
they are trying to cool the Booz
???

?terrible call?

Boozer sucking again, oh noes
poor boozy...

good play

bad call

refs to the rescue
We have 3 TO while Suns got 15, good
Nice to see Hamilton hit a 3 too
Bulls just on fire from the floor

waiting for an early SCAL sighting…

Rip...

Zone buster…

What shoes are Rip wearing?

They look like they’re from the 90s

thats it

amnesty him, i’ve seen enough!

sick pass from...

Rip

Boozer you gotta hit those layups man
Taj made a jumper, whut
I really like the Taj/Boozer combination
yep

Taj protect the rim like always and Booz now trying to play D

It's Nash and the rest of the suns now
Everybody not named Nash on that team is a roleplayer
Steve and the Nashettes ^_^
man the ball just rolls one way one game...then the other the next. A big contrast.
bad pass on the break...

blah..

#7 HIT A THREE. BEN GORDON HAS RETURNED
Keep up the zone Phoenix

We can do this all night

really making them pay for that zone , glad rip is back

yup, rip moving well off the ball is jsut as good as having a guy who can create his own shot
Boozer with the back down baby
Wow, that was a ridiculous fadeaway
Has CJ missed yet?
Nope

7 for 7 including a couple of 3s

wow
I was actually afraid CJ would be rusty when he came back
Nash 3

answered by a CJ 3!!!

free steve nash
no!

I’m afraid they trade him for Norris cole

CJ is 7-7, damn!
How much longer until Victory Cigar time?
When Deng finally comes out
Imagine when we have that kid derrick rose coming of the bench
who the fuk is this rose u speak off?!
Can he shoot 7-7 like CJ?

If not, overrated

Rose would be 10-7 against the Nashes
I'd really like to see some Butler in the 4th.

But I know it won’t happen.

Butler, Scal, and James. All on the court at the same time.

That’s a Victory Cigar

Let's get this to 30 and watch some Butler
Nash should just forget about passing and just score score score

I wonder what will be his avg if he’s a shoot first PG. Say avg just 7ast/game

"playing like a nash" > "playing like a bosh"
I would do rose for Howard

We have CJ

why do you have to ruin a good time
We have CJ
hell yeah, fuck rose!
Orlando won't agree unless we trade Lucas
Just got out of class, what'd I miss? I see Rip is back...
boozy, cj, and rip tearing it up!

noah playing well too

13 points for noah i see on the stat sheet.

nice username by the way, we just gave Geo 4.3 mil this year.

hopefully he provides some consistent offense.

yeah, i really like geo and feel hes been one of the better catchers in the majors

not many ctachers have a career .806 ops like Geo :)

only 11 errors last year, best in MLB.
Cj didnt miss a Shot yet.
you are kidding, thibs sit him!!!
you arent kidding****
def....

Butler better start the 4th..

Deng will get a rest when he reaches 38 min
*when he dies

corrected

Chicago Bulls 89...

Phoenix Nashes 64

Steve Nash is directly responsible for a minimum of 41 points.

I don’t know about 3s and Fouls…

anyone else...

find it a little lame the way Howard just added the Clippers to his trade list?

its the "Shoes"
I've stopped paying attention to him

Fuck him, his shoes, and his hollywood aspirations

we should have twisted CJ's arm before
Boozer not finishing at the basket
how we look?
That one blown layup likely just turned everyone against Boozer again
BOOZER SUCKS

[/not really but he’s not this good]

Yikes, SA really shit the bed in the second half.

Down 105-87 now.

How do you call Noah for a foul on that play?
how do you call a foul
Booz is only into fadeaways now
you just realized this?
trying to pull off those KG shots
You were saying?
I wanna see a boozer and1 dunk with a head bob
no..

he plays hard to get now…

Nearly got it.

Layin+1.

lol, I thought he would not call that
Damn, a team composed entirely of Nashes might have won this
Big boy basketball Boozer!
it looks like the starters know....

they are coming out for the 4th…

almost carlos, almost......why do tease me?
lol I can see that Korver pass a mile away
let's watch National Boozer Association
i would liek to thank nash for his contribution...

to my fantasy bball team

wtf, MIA up by 23
tell Lebron I said Fuck you
tell LeBron he's still a crybaby
Please play Butler for 12 min
94 pts in the THIRD QUARTER?!?!?
Can we call this one over??
id say so
well....

we’ve lost a lead like this to a west conf team before….

Deng hasn't gotten enough touches.....he should play the whole 4th qtr
Screw you and the horse you rode in on.
Deng's gotta keep up those minutes man
Screw you and the horse you rode in on.
And solo 3-a-day practices on Wed and Thurs..
CJ looks...

ten times stronger this year.. all around

hehe...

figures… i jinxed him..

when your job is threatened my JLIII

you know it’s time to start DOIN WORK

playing time has that effect on people
Thibs taking Booz out of the game, before the world ends
Look at Boozer smiling because he can finally look Thibodeau in the eye
28 point lead with 12 to go.

CAn we PLEASE get a Victory Cigar 4th quarter? Please?

Booze and Noah playin well

Told u Its nothing to worry about

Question about your sig

Rams, Bulls, Mets…?

No offense, but did you just draw random teams out of a hat?

Or he's from Central IL and his fam is from NY
lol

naw i was born in europe so its a long story how i picked these 3 teams but if u wanna hear it i ll tell u lol

start the 4th with the rookie in for Luol... Please!
Maybe that Grizzlies game yesterday was just what we needed, a wakeup call.

Noah looks a lot better this game, just had good defense on that play.

Really cj? A runner from the free throw line.....smh
Neil Funk has really lost his mind
I wanna hear Neil do a broadcast on drugs
Moreso than usual?
Amnesty Korver
Is that Jo's first double double?
3rd.
gotcha
Seems like it's been awhile.
lol fans waiting for the big mac 3
There's your big mac!
Sit Noah

play Butler at PF

Play asik at C and PF

4 on 5

Dude.

That is way too unfair for Phoenix.

What happened?

Last I looked CJ was 7-7. He’s missed 3 now? Ridiculous. Kick him off of the team.

THE CHANTS BEGIN
A glorious sound
Can we turn those into Jimmy Butler chants?

We really need him to get some run.

BEN GORD-- CJ WATSON
Alright, I'm outta here. It's been fun, folks
White mamba needs to go off now!
Lucas and Scal, please
and Butler
and the guy from the d-league i can't remember
And James.

What about this as your Victory Cigar lineup?

Asik
Scal
Butler
James
Lucas

I loves it

How the fuck does MIA have 120pts?!?
Tell Lebron i said Fuck you
Mike Miller 6-6 from 3
BIC MACS,,,,,,,
The crowd just collectively gained 48,000 pounds
Thibs gotta empty the bench completely

right now

Have the Bulls had a really close game other than the Lakers game?

I cant remember the last time they finished a game shooting free throws because the other team is fouling them late.

there hasnt been many at all

either been a blowout, or a moderately close game till the bulls pull away within the last 5-6 mins of the game

Spurs have yet to win an away game this year
They choked that game away

How do you let a team go on a 35-7 run? And didn’t think that was possible.

Luol Deng will finish the game playing 27 minutes.

I like seeing this.

What a statement made by the non-Rose Bulls!

I’m so proud of them! Booozy wooozy wooozy wooozy!

Highest amount opponents have scored at UC: 74
Thibs will probably chew the team out for that one.
Happy B-Day, Thibs!!!!
Ive never seen a Big Mac win this early in the game!

now 50% of the crowd has nothing to cheer for.

You obviously never saw an MJ team.

I’ve been to games where we got the OLD Big Mac bonus in the 3rd quarter.

120 pts...ahhh

wasn’t it a taco then?

You're right, it was a Taco Bell.

Big Macs are better.

agreed

You can get better Tacos for cheaper anywhere in Chicago.

Arturo's?
Tio Loco

zacatacos
Comales
random place in little village
Me

It’s a long list

I'll have to try those out

are they authentic? Got lengua?

They do

I never liked it, Lengua has a weird texture, and they made me eat it as a kid.

I moved to Chicago in 1999

So my career as a Bulls fan consists mainly of memories of elton brand, eddie curry, eddie robinson, ben gordon, tyson chandler, marcus fizer, captain kurt, jalen rose, etc…

Needless to say, I’ve been truly enjoying the post 1.7% years!

You poor thing

Well if its any consolation, I’ve been out of Chicago for the last 8 years and wish I was back there.

many players on our bench would be the 2nd or 3rd best players in Phoenix
Nash and asik would combine for 78 pts a game
nash would make asik look like dwight howard
Nash and Scal would combine for 78 points a game.
Nash/SCAL > LeBosh, lol
amnesty korver
What is wrong with you?
He hasnt made a shot since 2009......hehe
Taj...

really?

just hit one, then nearly broke the iron on that one
BigBoyBBall Asik
the question needs to be asked

why does thibs hate jimmy???

must think they are bad luck or something
ok, Thibs... really...

he better be in after this t/o….

130mil sitting on the bench :)
The only time where this is acceptable
AMNESTY THEM! AMNESTY THEM ALL!

screw boozy! that overrated jumpshooting piece of shit! NOAH HAS NO HEART!

trade ROse!!!! lulzz
Not including Derrick.
So our next two games are against CLE and CHA, will Rose play either?
if the others keep playing like this

Rose might as well take a vacation

If CJ plays like this, Rose will not play the rest of the season.
I say we give him a break.

Let his toe heal a little bit.

Besides,

We got CJ and Lucas.

Is it Trillionare time?!?
Thibs is one of those coaches

that goes out his way not to play rookies. Why isn’t Butler on the damn floor?

Sounds like Jimmy's about to come in...
BUTLER!!!!
I can't...

believe it.

WHAT'S BUTLER'S FG %?

i think he is still at 100%

and SCAL!!!
Who is scal?

thats the White Mamba, dude

Thibs is testing Butler's discipline
makes sense to me
YEAAAAAAH

JIMMEHHHH

strong to the ...

hole

LIL JIMMY AND SCAL
That kid was waaaaaaaayyy to excited about Scal.
Lucas with the FT tips

HAHAHAHAHA

Still waiting for James to come in.
Its hard to measure Jimmy's play

because he always plays with a comedian

SCAL to SHEEK!!!!
Youtube clip

345,000,000,000 views

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHH
HAMMER!!

scal with the dime

WTF

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

left hand pass

by the goat point forward

SCAL got 10 assists.
and one Hammer?
that was actually one hell of a pass
timeout Suns? really?
White Mamba can do it all

All Hail White Mamba

NOW it's a Blowout!!
James isn't the game yet.
Asik...

the Turk-Swish Hammer

Brian "Magic Johnson" Scalabrine
pretty sad that

the crowd kind of gave a collective sigh after he didn’t shoot it instead of appreciating the SHEEK dunk.

true...

what can you say, but… white folks be trippin?

Scalabrine ruins everything
what?!?!!?!?

WHAT WHAT?!??!!!??!?!
please tell me...

there is not a rap album associated with this pic…

actually...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1lVaYcJ5bQ

(not really him (it’s skeets), but still!)

damnn, omer with the touch
asik jump shot????
Hook shot

he’s actually made a few of those this year

oh okay

im looking at play-by-play and it said jump shot.haha

turkish delight putting some english on it, see what i did there? lol.
sad that ..

Noah is getting tips about post-play from Asik…

Why isnt Mamba player of the game?

Fuck Comcast

ASIK AND DESTROY!!!
Jimmy Butler has Ben Gordonesque arms.

No homo.

SCAL to Sheek connection working strong

probably from them playing 1on1 all the time they know each other moves

Scal trying to win an a assist title
OH NO HE DIDNT

Scallll

SCAL got 20 assists.
He had our second ballhandler all along

Scalabrine. He averages like 3 assists per minute

Butler looks like player that will find a way to stay in the league for 15yrs
So he is scal?
a la...

Corey Brewer…

scal with a lob to sheek.. is this a dream?
It would be funnier

If that wasn’t one more lob than Rose has ever thrown to Asik.

NBA should better

put it on highlight on their game recap..

Hard foul on Lopez!!!
he threw down Sheek
I haven't seen a player move that slow since Brad Miller was in town

Ah memories.

Eject Sideshow Bob
fuck this crack whore
he's got a...

Breaking Bad tattoo…

I hate the Lopez', including George.
The geico caveman showing his moves
He won't be coming to the pancake social tomorrow
Not a legal move by this guy!

Evil Incarnate.
do not mess with the turkish hammer, bob.
Send us home with a 3 SCAL...
Benny the bull should tackle Lopez
scal needs to work on the fade
and the phoenix announcers seem to think that move was perfectly fine...
incredible
they were like

“i think asik was exaggerating that. since when is a good hard foul not part of the NBA?”

completely ignored the fact that the game was over
did the home feed replay it?

it’s weird, i was getting the home feed on the TV, away feed on broadband. was watching the second half on here though, but i want to watch it again now and was curious whether they showed it multiple times…

not sure

but I think so

Yes, replayed once.

He followed through throwing him away. Just a pure punk move. The officials weren’t going to let this game take any more time than necessary. They weren’t calling much…and I guess I would expect that. It was over by a long shot .

yeah i still had it taping so i just watched it

so how was that not a flagrant? he clearly wrapped his fucking arms around his neck. what a douche.

Homerism at it's finest
that was a foul

but the bulls should not be taking it to the hole

Disagree

They shouldn’t leave their stars in, but there’s no reason for the reserves to not play normally.

Scal was like

I’m too good for this shit

CJ was fuckin solid
mamba went all triple threat on the Suns
Bulls win 118-97.

Thibs was seen after the game chewing out everybody for allowing as much as 97 points against a bad offensive team.

It was a lot of points. I don't think he'd be fine with that much no matter what the margin.
Your sarcasm meter is broken.
31 f*ckin...

assists!

on 47 baskets. Not bad.
Half of them by Scalabrine
CJ looks like he gained some baby fat during that injury lay-off
in his weinus?
i guess only Mayweather's wife would know
Scal plays were the icing on the cake

What a freaking game…I haven’t laughed like this since seeing Dave Chapelle’s standup act

white Mamba = goat point forward
118 with no Rose.. I love it
Great game, everyone did great, now let's rest for 2 days, finally
wait...wait, 2 days off? no way, was there a scheduling error?
Mess with the best, die like the rest!

Glad the Bulls play PHX just once

They blow pure fucking ass

I wish we had 3 more
Totally agree

Some easy wins, a lot of confidence, and Scal dishing dimes like Stockton out there.

I could shed a tear...

just looking at the starters stats….

SCAL to SHEEK = New Lob City!!!!
guys i think the big deal here

is Rip really opens up the Bulls overall offense

I luv Sarah! (sorry)
Olive gardens new menu

Scalabrine with scallops

Crusty Asik bread included

im so sorry BAB

Yes.....My Body is Ready.
according to mcgraw they are getting rid of the big macs

so this could be the new promotion!!!

Miami outscored the Spurs 39-12 in the third quarter when they looked like absolute garbage in the first half

It’s just that kind of season

Every team seems to have the quarter of "let's go for single digits!"
I dont know which team is older...Spurs or Celtics
i Heard LeBron was gettin Booed earlier in the spurs game.
good he should be booed everywhere he goes.
Booz having a great game with Rip back

coincidence?

rip knows how to space the floor and an underrated passer

agreed, this team is not even at their best yet.

goosebumps just thinking about it.

rip had 6 assists!
How did the Bulls get stuck playing the most games in the league to this point

while also tying for the most road games as well? WTF?

i'd rather have the front of the schedule be top heavy

we still have the best record and soon we’re coming to the EASIER part of our schedule… that and then maybe our guys can get rest leading up to the playoffs, instead of having a bad schedule to lead into them.

yeah...i agree.
spot on...this team will be well rested and should be ready for the playoffs

the heat on the other hand schedule is going to get tougher.

Luol Deng only played 27 minutes. wow.
Yep. I'm so glad Thibs rested him. Great to have a blowout.
Lob city got bombed tonight.
Every game on TV today was pretty close to a blowout.
