Season of attrition. Hope they take it easy with Taj as well. Can Butler play the 4 at all?
Someone tweeted that Taj has a high ankle sprain

Anyone know if that’s as bad for basketball players as it is for football?

bad.

not sure how long it last, but the big issue is its easy to re-injure.

no ligament damage though...

these injuries tend to be worse for football players.

it can be worse

Ankle injuries are more prominent among NBA players than they are NFL players. Reason being NBA players place more emphasis on their feet and ankles when it comes to cutting but NFL players hold a low base in a squat position which is why knee injuries happen more for NFL players than NBA players.

Is Scalabrine the backup power forward now?
I guess Rick James is the back up pg.

This game could be ugly. Good thing it’s Charlotte at home.

Yeah, but I would think Thibs would opt for a smaller lineup with Lu at pf

this is getting ridiculous

rose, lucas, taj out. noah on a tweaked ankle. rip on a bad groin. cj on a bad elbow.

depth!
our depth is getting hurt now.

This is getting ridiculous for sure.

dude, the bulsl are not alone

injuries are gonna happen throughout this whole season.

As an example:
DwainPrice Dwain Price
Mavs forward Dirk Nowitzki will miss four games with a sore right knee. He won’t play again until Jan. 29 against the Spurs.

So yeah, this season has been a mess

it would have been a great one to do, with boris and tyrus (not playing) and mj… way too busy… can’t even watch tonight!

The Final Word on Cleveland

Their paper posted a “best-of” list and the coter’s choice for best bakery was a Panera or something like that.

Cleveland sucks so hard now that LeBron left and put good bakeries out of business.

Damnit. Voter's = coter's
mmmmmmm.....panera
Best Italian = Olive Garden
oh man i just got my tickets for

the bulls celtics feb 12 game… so excited. :D

make sure u carry a sign that says F*ck Rondo!
I'm going to the one in Miami at the end of the month. Woot
my fam is going to that, actually

they’re taking a trip down there… i was invited but i declined for a number of reasons

It's all meant to happen

Thibs will finally realize Jimmy Butler is worth more than garbage minutes.

True that

I’m curious to see him in non-garbage time performance.

he played well in pre-season too against IND (what pre-season there was to play)
Oh man they just

showed Taj injuring his ankle last night. OUCH!

whoops.

I just haven’t been caring about things. Oh well. Maybe will do game preview of other game later.

it'll be odd to watch a mediocre bulls team tonight

after having been spoiled the last 3 years. but i have a feeling thibs’ discipline will make this team overachieve. and good luck to our bench guys who will be seeing serious minutes. it can only help us as the season progresses

mediocre? this almost the same bulls team the past few nights. yeah, its without taj, but i think this team is good enough to trash teams like the bobcats
No Noah,Taj, JL3, or Rose
Let the tyrus thomas bashing commence!
man i didn't realize the bobcats only had 3 wins. damn.
