2011-12 Open Game Thread #6 OVERFLOW: Bulls vs. Atlanta Hawks

Bulls shot 24% in an abysmal first half. But the Hawks have likely squandered an opportunity only being up 12. Here's to hoping for some easy baskets getting the Bulls back ahead, and then wearing down Atlanta.

Bulls will win
Thanks Rose, Asik!
The Jimmy Butler Spark?

I hope its coming.

I'm looking for a DRose spark
Butler becoming the new Jimmy Johns?
Aside from his name actually being Jimmy
Can we start two?
the Bulls aren't playing with good energy

especially their bigs. Overall, I’ve been disappointed with the interior guys to start the season.

Good, that other thread was jinxed
Wierd ass half...That is all
Go Bulls!

No more pussy-footin’

OK. Keys to the second half

GET OUT IN TRANSITION
DRAW CONTACT
HIT OPEN JUMPERS
MURDER KORVER AND THROW HIS BODY IN A VAT OF ACID

Show him video of all his misses this season first. Then toss him in.
Harsh to blame Korver completely for the first half

Our D hasn’t been the problem
And he hasn’t missed any shots.
He hasn’t scored either, but still – hardly his fault everyone else is shooting 24%…

memo to the Bulls: if you lose tonight and beat Detroit by 400 points

won’t repair this awfulness

If I get some laughs that game

I probably would lol

That fist half was harder to watch then a Albert's Jeweler commercial

Lets see some improvement!

So, ummm....

Anybody got a link? League pass blacked me out.

Nevermind...

Got one!

New thread, new attitude

I live these refs

Anyone seen Booze parents?
right now we need Rose's mama
Fuck it

Get EVERYONE’S Mama here

Yo Mama Night at the UC

I like it

bring them for every heat game too

Bulls sweep

defense has kept us in the game

we just need to start hittin some shots

Someone needs to light a fire up Boozer's ass
that's unhealthy
it might do Boozer some good
dangerous too.
and Rose's and Noah's and Deng's...
is that why we down?
Yeah, because Boozer is the only one sucking!

At least he’s TAKING shots and not hesitating.

I'm hoping we can get some good defense this half
You got that last half
We need it continuously if we hope to win this game
I'm amazed we're not down by more right now

K.C Johnson
#Bulls 9 field goals and 26 points are barely above franchise worsts for a half. Records are 7 field goals and 23 points.

only franchise worst was probably in the Ron Mercer era
We need Dwight Howard's parents
We need to score some baskets

We’ve had a lot of in-and-outs

On the bright side...

Cleveland looks pretty good actually.

We need Elton Brands momma
She will eat jeff teague
good maybe kenny will break it down on the big board
ernie on nbatv is the definition of the "glue guy"
the Bulls have 28 missed shots and only 3 offensive rebounds

Noah has 0. We need the old Noah back starting in the 2nd half

Fuck you Webber. Bulls/Timberwolves
Nah, I think the best game would actually be Heat v GSW.
no way

Heat are going to kill them

J PEPPERS!

COME DOWN HERE

This team is playing like everyone is food poisoned
Uhhh i am just recovering, nearly died
Forte going for the nose!
LET'S GO BULLS!!!!!!!!!
Attaboy Noah. Let Horford get that ball!
Josh heard me

shot a jumper

oh for fucks sake
You've got to be kidding me
Seriously?

WE GET A FUCKING SHOT AND THERES A GOSH DAMN FOUL?

Whats up with these Refs tonight
I'm convinced Noah slept with one of the refs woman.
Now Brew can't catch a pass...

seriously, these refs are horrible

williams just took like 15 steps
He just started running from the 3 point line

fuck these refs

What was he gonna flip over the backboard?
How many steps was that?!?!
refs killing us

though we’re not exactly helping ourselves

holy hell these refs don't want us to win tonight
Refs finishing the job
they gotta be fucking kidding me
Good D by Jo there.

Fuck that ref

Eh Noah doesn't really do shit. It's all good.
noah always sucks playing against Horford
FOUL FOUL FOUL FOUL FOUL!

THATS IT

IM TURNING THIS SHIT OFF

wanna keep this under 20?
WHAT? Deng Got a TECH????????????????
They all look nervous! Did someone find Sam Hurd's client list??
Lu is pissed....
this game is a joke
A

BOOZER DOESNT EVEN JUMP FOR THE BALL

FUCK ERRTHANG

This is unbelievable.
When did we become the Grizzlies?
this game is bad

everyone sucks

Wierdest game EVER
Yeah.....its over
Hopefully they get it all out of their system tonight.
Watch us win this.
Lets close this lead
Better Lu

Good effort

Soooo

Which NBATV guy is gonna be the first to say…
Is this in the shot clock era?

Luol is the most accidentally decent NBA player ever!!
what the hell are you talking about?

deng hate is so 2010.

I wouldn't care if it was 2009 Luol is overrated!!
Yeah.

You’re entitled to your opinion and all, but it’s stupid as fuck.

Okay you convinced me
Seriously

After anchoring the defense and playing like 48.5 minutes last season I can’t believe anyone could possibly say anything negative about Deng anymore.

No he’s not as smooth as Melo or Lebron. He is however the most consistent Bull by about a mile.

Okay buddy whatever you say.

I personally think fans like you overrate him by about a mile. He is the WORST dribbling starting SF in the NBA, he ruins 4/5 fast breaks, and his hands are made of steel….. in my opinion.

Neil hates Josh Smith, apparently
I dont like him either
lol...

Took you this long to realize?

Neil hates everyone

wrinkly old man has no soul

He's being especially annoying tonight
It's not that hard to do so
yes.

Time for Deng to channel his inner luhawk

DUNK IT YOU STUPID ASSHOLE
Boozer has the hops of a middle age rec team player.
Ball went in finally

I dont give a fuck how it goes in anymore. We just gotta score

Booz playing soccer
Wow. Rose burned two guys!
Ok KEEP doing that
A LAYUP!!! OMG EASY OFFENSE!
ooooooOOo

Rozay!

Great pass brew
That was awesome.

super smooth by Rose and Brewer.

Here comes the comeback...

Ring a ding ding

rose breaking ankles

still down by 13

Is boozer unable to dunk at all anymore?

A layup is 5x easier in that situation.
You'd think that.

He’s like my dad at the Y

He plays with no confidence. Unless Mommy and Daddy are at the game.
Yeah, if he takes shots and misses, he sucks, but if he doesn't take, he has no confidence?

BUT ROSE IS ALWAYS AWESOME!!!!

somebody get Booz some of those orange slices they had at halftime when we were kids...
Its the Duke curse, every time a Dukie dunks a baby seal dies.
Cut it to 6 by the fourth.
How can you look so good one game, winning by 45 in the 3rd quarter

And look so BAD the next. CJ is NOT worth a 60 pt swing

No Rip either
we didn't have Rip in the Memphis game
We struggle against the zone
zone

and the fact that thibs is a crappy offensive coach

Derrick is doing a horrible job finding the open guy.
Seriously?

If deng or brewer could hit a jumper he would have about 8 assts already.

Rose, plz do that move every game or at least the next time bron guards u in the 4th
If the Bulls just score they will be fine...

The Hawks aren’t exactly lighting it up either.

if they can break this gimmick defense

its over. just have to keep at it. thibs needs to prepare his guys for crap like this next time.

Rahmbo and The Axe!
What happened there?
Thats gotta be a foul
Mafia got involved

Rose shaving points Blue Chips style

this old ratatouille looking

end this fool rose

If I hear one word about Booz not pkaying good, without something being said about Rose/Deng...

I’m gonna explode.

Boozer getting his 1" lift back
Deng's gotta find Rose there
Give the fucking ball up Deng!
when was the last time Deng passed on a fast break?
I can't even remember anymore.

Every damn time he hogs it. The blinders pop up and he just goes all the way.

Deng what are you doing?

Pass the ball!

I want the Luhawk back
Deng...ya might want to oop it to Rose.
no soup for you! lol
How is that a foul?

I am going to kill somebody!

Deng =Hog
On the break anyway
I don't think it's greed

I think he genuinely struggles to run, dribble and look around at the same time

you know what

even though deng missed that shot, old deng wouldnt have took that shot b/c of contact..gotta give him a lil props for that

But if it was Boozer...
he shouldn't have took that shot

he wasn’t open

yah

but still…he was one on one…high % shot no?

ah, live stream please! thanks
you don't wanna see this game
maybe or maybe not :)
and with the bulls' ability, i am still hoping, heh
Over/Under 50 points?
jumped straight up
This Bulls team loves to run that one man fast break
Why in God's name does Deng NEVER EVER pass on the fast break?
Dunk the ball, jackass
nice pass Omer!
These Refs. Oh and you suck Booz.
If we don't get this lead down soon

It may be time to tip our caps and get ready for tomorrow night

Fade away

Cuz why not?

So does Boozer's 2nd defensive violation

mean he plays defense now?

stop with the to’s

refs making this even harder
Time for a technical Thibs.
We get some kind of offense going

Ref blows whistles…This is like a miami game

Except we are playing like shit
3sec just got faster
I feel for the people who paid good money to go to this pitiful performance
This has gotten ridiculous.

this is horrible, seriously the refs

Charge on Rose?!

are you fucking kidding me?!

Give it to Bogans so he can get 6 points!

Oh…

Bring in the bench mob!!

Oh…. wait…

the crowd needs to get on their feet and start cheering,why wait

Boozer hits a shot

I bet a foul on us coming

lets all just flop

in 3….2….1

Wait... what?

A foul on the Hawks? lol…

This is why people say the Heat are better than us

When you have three bonfide stars you don’t end up with 26pt halves. If Derrick is even slightly off this team is screwed.

Its not that Derrick is off

Everyone is off

Oh fuck this talk again
except if all three of the stars are off

sad trumpet

Bulls need to go on a run
Cmon Bulls 4 mins of good basketball PLEASE
Keep korver out
out of the arena?

excellent idea

cut it to single digits and I'll be happy
I've lost count of the number of times

Boozer has been out of position for defense, rebound, etc.

Korver is in...

Bulls lose.

Why were they even guarding out there?
Just get boozer out. Put in Taj.
Yeah, our only player hitting shots. TAKE HIM OUT!
You are not watching the game are you?
Thibs' head just went POP
Neil bashing Hawks when Bulls are playing horrible

You suck, Funk.

The Bulls look like they're in a daze.
Brewer got his shot back.
Omer is our defense
we got this

::::deap breath:::::

good job, pressure the half court shot

and not rebound

ROSE STOP PASSING IT TO BREWER WTF
Brewer lost all confidence
The cake is a lie, Brewer, the cake is a lie
Jesus Christ

this might be the worst game we’ve played in 3 seasons

I watched all but 4 games last year, and I'd have to agree.

This is just an anomaly. But an anomaly that would never happen to more than half the teams in the league.

it would happen to the grizzlies
Damn we miss Rip
omer is dying

he’s the only one playing

Brewer playing like shit

awful game

The whole team has the Yips
Good analogy

Rose just need to start shooting, and stop passing

driving, instead
Welcome back Ronnie Brewer
and this is why we need Rip
wasnt stanford vs osu

Higher scoring than this?

Did I miss the vote to make Korver the BaB target?

We need scoring to get back in this. If Korver gets hot, he can shoot you back into a game pretty quick.

I don’t think he’s actually been as bad as people think this year offensively, and it’s not as if Brewer is draining them today is it?

He plays no defense.

unless he is hitting 3s, he is not worth anything

Agreed

But surely this is exactly the kind of situation where it might be worth making that sacrifice?

"Drink a lot of water"

code for “smoke a lot of weed”

water for cottonmouth

cuz O-Mega Trees are potent lol

Noahs omega 3's=blunts.
Nothing's working. They might as well put Butler in.
Ernie laying on thick tonight against the Bulls.
regressing to the mean ...

all of brewer’s makes are causing his misses tonight … percentages always even out

hey brew, repeat after me

He hesitates…miss the jumper
He hesitates…miss the jumper

fake the pass

miss the jumper

The NBAtv crew has been terrible tonight
You would be too.
If he bricks this free throw, I will flip a shit
OH MY GOD

KILL THE KUTCHER LOOK-A-LIKE

NO TAKE THE ILLEGAL DEFENSE AWAY WE HIT A THREE!!!

NEVER
PUT
KORVER
IN
AGAIN

Kyle Korver?
Even Korver can't hit a free throw

Tonights not a win

Korver miss that

Bizarro world

korver i will murder you
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
we hit a 3

on a defensive 3 sec

New Tagline

Blogabull: We are the pimps; Korver is our bitch.

It's like Derrick knew he would miss that
Without Omer

down 32

Rose are fucking stupid?

Fuck this while team needs to be spanked

Please to meet

I from across seas

I prefer Scal over Korver
I do too

at least he can fucking pass. AND he has a ring!

Scals just so much more likable.

I didn’t see one picture of Korver in a fucking gym this summer. Just him selling his clothes!

If the Bulls win this...

I’m buying Omer some flowers.

I knew Derrick would miss that...

he didn’t even have his legs under him

Horford getting away with some forearm stuff
As an Iowan, I was counting on this game as a respite from the caucuses
This game is nothing by caucuses
I'm so sick of phone calls.

I’m glad it’s over tonight.

Korver has the worst FT mechanics for a good shooter. He does a calf raise and then shoots WTF?
Seriuosly, we're cursed tonight. Taj couldn't even get the put back that wouldn't have counted anyways.
was that intentional?

was that a bounce pass to himself? no way corona light is that good

Glad Rose didnt shoot the 3 and went hard to the rim
So we are down 15...the question is

do we even score 15 in the 4th quarter

FUCK YOU KORVER
God damn it Korver.
goddamn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

!

its Pargo time

cmon Rose wake up

asdrghjko;bdgkhWDBGJg FUCK YOU KYLE!
You MotherFuckorver!
8<

Scissors for ya Kyle. You are cut.

Omer is ready to keal over
The Bulls' offense tonight is almost as bad as Aggrey Sam's television charisma

nothing is as bad as that.

fucking kyle man

im not even calling him anything but kyle till he mans up… no disrespect to anyone thats really name kyle on here

Lucas>Rose?

I keeeeeed.

Ashton Ketchup
What purpose do you serve, Kyle Korver?
Omer today is the shit

Everyone else today is in bizarro world…This game is like the damn twilight zone

Well omer on offense isnt good but on D is great
Asik giving us hope
Say what you want about Korver

But the bulls need him to get going. Who else can you trust to knock down that three?

Seriously, do we have a hitman in this thread?

I’ll pay good money for Korver’s head on a platter

Come on Kyle you gotta make those!
MVP chants really?
We need to start playing a drinking game with every Bulls brick.
Thats why I'm drunk now...
You're dangerously drunk then
and I've been on rum, not beer so damn you Bulls! Its a work night!
our prayers have been answered!!
I guess this is as good as time as any for Stern to debut

the magnetic ball

Woot. Butler time
Butler!

Good substitution.

JIMMY! YAY

there ends the playing time of ashton koosher

Get an oxygen tank

Omer is about to collapse

Rose's shot looks flat tonight.
Jimmy's got the moves!
oooo shyt

is that butler? fuck me

Cut everybody except Asik

Due to the language barrier, he doesn’t know it’s a blowout

lmao

i bet he can’t read either? :))

3 dudes on Rose there

THREE

Drive Taj you ingrate
Just can't make a shot.
God damn, hit your wide open shots
42 fucking points. This is unreal.
Taj hasn't made a jumpshot in ages
........

I’d rather snip off my testes than have Taj take a jump shot.

WIDE fucking OPEN
This is the Twilight Zone

dodododododododododododododododododododododododododododo

Let's all setup a fund

to buy Mirotic out of his European contract tomorrow.

start it and ill contribute
Sam Smith thinks we should package that pick for a trade.
We Can't Get Much to fall tonight.

Think we’re missing RIP and CJ?

Duh...lol

we need em back ASAP.

Everybody off tonight.

But i Hope Butler can make a Sparke happen.

On pace for 56.
Butler scouting update:

boxed his man out on the defensive glass, which i like

hey it's just 14. we can still change gear.

or is it too much to hope? heh

its time for moral victories.
If we could only stop playing so bad

ATL is not playing that well

I'm going to call Kyle Korver

Ashy Cooch until he hits a shot.

Best nickname ever
Ashy Cooch?

That’s disgusting

See?

I shamed him into scoring.

not even mad anymore

this has become the most hilarious game ever … both teams horrible offensively

not good defense, just abysmal offense

like someone said earlier, yips offense

I could go for some Marcus Fizer at this point...
Taj is the worst offensive player ever.
We needed that
Korver answered the door!
hey kyle

watch yo ass..butler is waiting..bahhahaha ohh ya…butler is waiting

Let's go, Kyle

Redeem yourself.

after limiting the Griz to 64ots

we will score even less

If the bulls win I will jump naked into a lunchpail full of hotsauce
LOL 9 POINT GAME?!?!
ROSE I LOVE YOU
The crowd is losing their mind!
Fuck you pargo

LOL DENG WITH WITH THE BRIEFCASE
travelling

what were you saying about Deng, quest3300?
rec'd for days.

after all the bad calls we got

Lu walked like he was on a subday stroll
Deng finally converted on his one man fast break WOW
LUOL proving my point and disproving it with one play lol!! Lets go BULLS
Win or lose

I never laughed so hard since the sheed wallace in own basket

Let's see if Rose can do what Lebron couldn't last night

This is where MVP is won by the way

Teague never learns
Ride Omer to the end of time

FuCK EM UP, DERRICK

MVP being won tonight!!!!!!
Good lord

I hate this type of basketball, but i love seeing great clutchness like this

fucking kyle

and our momentum is killed by korver

How does Korver get minutes?
must be the defense..
We have bad floppers

we need an acting coach

Is Nocioni still in the NBA? If not, we can probably hire him for that job.
Let smith shoot that
we could use a new thread
I love the Bulls

for helping me get through this miserable Vikings season for awhile

Rubio is pretty good
The unicorn fouled
freaking korver!
I've never seen Funk and King relentlessly bash anyone

like they do Josh Smith

BG disagrees
i have, Gallinari last year

its embarassing

I think Korver and Ashton Kutcher switched roles.

Kutchers on the Bulls, and Korver is on 2 and a half men.

Someone please help Rose and Asik
Not to fear...

Korver is here!

wtf just happened?
we traded Booz! I wish :-(
Korver is so useless
those flops from omer and korver were hilarious
lol did you see Korver's reaction?

lmao

Funk's really trolling out there
baby, i said i wanna splash

Marvin Bail
LIEUTENANT DENG!
comeback boys!

pluuzzz

sssssssssssplash....
Wow. That was a good shot.
Is this really happening?
deeeeeeeeeng!
A little but ambitious Derrick...

Rose looks tired

Tired Rose>>>>>>>>>>>>John Lucas after drinking Jordan juice.
That shouldnt be a foul there
Tired Rose>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>John Lucas after drinking Jordan juice.
no no no no

don’t fall in love with those

I think Rose is getting worn down.
all tied now..wow!

we were down by 19 right?

wow

nice shot by joe

We should've traded Taj when he was actually worth something.

Every team knows he’s terrible now

That high screen does more harm than good

let Rose iso

Rose falling in love with the 3
Hate to be that guy....

But it’s nothing new.

Did JJ have his foot on the line?

If not for Pargo and JJ hitting super lucky 3s we’d be up 3

Have Rose or Deng actually sat yet?
Bring back booze and noah
Leave Sheek in
staying here

goodluckamambojambojuice
