It's been awhile since I've seen a game a the Palace

it sounds different…and less annoying.

it's pretty empty lol.
agreed

But it seems that even the stadium fx are different, wha happen to the very annoying “DEEEETROIT BAS-KET-BALL!”?

man, the music is super loud
Was in the crapper

Is boozer still fade-away prone?

Just got home. What did I miss?
nothing really; bland game so far.
As long as the Bulls are in control, I don't mind. Better than that ATL start.
yeah pretty much, detroit defense is pretty horrid.
JL3 is taking OVER according to the pistons announcer
Did Booz...did he...

was that a dunk?

lol yes that was one of his signature im gonna swing my legs like crazy for no reason dunk.
can't tell if the bulls are good,

or the pistons are awful.

can't tell if cheering for bulls

or cheering for pistons*

i swear rip's vision is pretty damn good for a shooting guard.
pistons commentator, "The bulls don't look like they played last night, playing with a lot of energy"

he said that after the booz strip and noah fastbreak.

Sorry pistons, those two didn’t show up last night. (except the last play by Jo)

nice pass from rip
Jo is a lot stronger than I give him credit for.
he has enough upper body strength for a center, what i always wonder is why he doesn't work on

is his lower body strength. specially for a center you need that to more than hold your own.

This is revenge

4 all of those years the pistons beat us

We've beaten them 11 times in a row.
Im reffering to

pre derrick days

I figured that.

Just didn’t make a lot of sense to me, sorry.

why is our frontline so much more dominant tonight
because detriots frontline is not even is good or athletic as the hawks lol.
It's their competition
Because Greg Monroe is a terrible defender.
Really?

I for some reason thought he was above average.

rose has no regard for his FG% again.
He's 3/6 without the full court heaves

whats the problem?

Hollinger and friends

DONT KNOW THAT!

Neil and Stacey, and then Kendall Gill

How can there be so much bad?

Hey

Don’t let that smarmy Mark Schanowski off with a pass.

I’m an equal opportunity hater

Yeah, I don't normally pay attention to him

But he’s horrible

Lucas x Wilkins showdown
Funny watching fringe Bulls players

Like JJ and Butler in Toronto just sucking it up. Reading comments here would make one believe they could of been some great contributors if given the opportunity.

Man, Rip is probably like "Thank God I got out of this awful franchise with their awful contracts, bad frontcourt and lack of fans".
This. I am amazed at how empty the palace is with the Bulls in town.
I know. Not only are the Bulls division rivals but they're awesome. When will they see a better basketball team?

Neil Funk is currently agreeing with me.

So you are most likely now wrong
Fine. There are a lot of people at the game. Detroit is awesome. They are not in the same division as the bulls. The Bulls suck.
Repost from old thread, but I am loving the offensive spread.

17 point lead, no player over 8 points, 10 Bulls have scored. Everyone is trusting the whole team to take shots.

It sure looks like Detroit was just what the doctor ordered tonight.

They are so easy to score on. Hope it stays that way.

Rondo has come down

from scoring like a madman earlier.

Brewer dislocated his elbow, could be out a couple weeks

According to Kendall Gill I think he just said

Brew?

Thought it’s CJ

CJ...my bad
you just about gave me a fucking heart attack

get the facts straight! lol

He mightve said brewer

but he meant CJ , pretty sure

Wow, that sucks. Not super stoked about JL3 being our backup for 10 games.
Meh

could just mean bigger Rose games, glass half full!

Ryan Anderson is balling this year

perfect compliment to Howard. If only Nelson didn’t regress so badly.

19ppg/7rpg

44% 3pt

I was pretty impressed with Big Baby the 2 times that I saw him.

It goes to show just how great Boston’s system was. When the fattest, weirdest looking Celtic leaves town, he is instantly the toughest and most energetic player on his new team.

I still think I like Brandon Bass better
What would happen if Julius Peppers kept playing basketball and ends up in the NBA?
Greg Monroe
I dont think so

Pep is near 300 pounds and can keep up with Mike Vick. I think he would be a bigger Blake Griffin…

You crazy :)
Do you see him block field goals? He's fast as hell too for his size

The man is a freak of nature even moreso than lebitch. lol

Yea I just dont know if he has the hops of someone like Blake

I like my Monroe comparison :p

He averaged like 7 ppg in college
nets have 35 at the half against boston

marshon has 15 of those on his own

I'll say it again

A team with a need at SG passed on the best SG in the draft. How the hell did that happen?

Early in this young season

do we feel like we made the right choice for realistic SGs?

I feel like we made the best move for what was realistically available.
Yeah I agree. Rip causes so much movement on offense. the other team's defense never looks comfortable.

It is hard to pass inside with him on the wing simply because of his size

out of the FAs i guess

Tmac shouldve been looked at too though

We'll have a lottery pick 2 in a couple of years.
BTW

im in the group that feels like we did make the best choice of available realistic targets

Knicks continue to struggle
They sure as hell don't look like a number 3 playoff team.

Not in any game they have played. Melo just doesn’t play well with others. I don’t see as how they will suddenly gel by the end of the season.

Miami taking it to Indy

62 to 39 at the half. Wade not even playing.

they are better when LeRingless and Wade aren't playing at the same time
1-3 quarter is all about Bron. Then Wade closes the game in the 4th.
Stacey telling people to contact Funk via carrier pigeon.

Okay, that’s funny.

My note would be "fuck you"

and then my pigeon would poop on his head

just turned on the game..

that is one empty place lol

welcome to Detroit.
Detroit - The Anus of America
I wonder how long Frank sticks with Stuckey before going to Knight/Gordon as his starters.
I'm a big fan of Rose not bringing

the ball up in half court sets and running through a screen or two.

THis makes it much harder to trap /double Rose when he does get the ball.

What was the reception like for Rip from the fans?
there arent any there
Lots of cheering.
Nets have done a good job collecting an entire team of good 8th men
But Dwight wants to go there!
He really just wants to play with Marshon Brooks.
Sundiata Gaines*
Will Rose ever become a bigger rebounder

never see him around the basket, seems like he could get some easy points if he was around more.

Yes I understand we have some excellent rebounders.

Nothings ever good enough for you...

Thibs defense requires that a guard hang back to take on the fast break.

You are a weird one

mr. killerwhale

Averaging 8.3 this season...

Does not seem bad at all, considering how much our front court hits the glass.

Talking rebounds here
Terrible call
what else is new
Jerebko behind the back dribble?
Was Thibs mad at that 3?
No, Rose

2 seconds into the shot clock and he throws up a 3

huge lead

why not rest rip and his groin?

rose's shot seems like it kind of regressed, his release is slower and he doesn't plant his feet the same way.

and it’s flat more than half the time. oh well, he still gets it done.

or hes just tired?
Could it be because he played 44 minutes of intense, desperate basketball last night?

It’s very possible he’s chucking these threes because he’s fatiqued.

It's because of the ATL game.

He sunk a lot of jumpers during that game so it’s probably just dead legs.

WTF is Boozer doing??
Boozer Lazy ass.
I'm sure his DRTG is amazing
I think the Sears Center draws more for lacrosse
GG Taj

only wants to help Rose get assists, why else would he shoot that jumper all the time :p

lmao big ben with the turn around banker.
Knight trying to go at Rose

Then throws up a push shot?

From 15 feet away
Surprised we got that call
Lebitch NEVER take charges
He doesn't always take charges

but when he does he flops like a bitch.

Rose auditioning for the new Space Jam
Still can't believe BG had to give up his number for Knight.
Cmon we all know BG loves money

got some of that rookie contract money :p

He didn't have to give it up.

He wanted to change it for some unknown reasons, and cited that he wanted to represent his neighborhood with the #8 as he used to live on Eighth Avenue in New York.

I'm not buying it. I still think he got paid to switch.
His son was born on the 8th.

They mentioned all of his stated reasons when I was watching one of their pre-season games.

Time to put together a 10-0 run and get some rest for the starters.
Awwww why'd you pass to Taj?

Cups right there!

Well these last 3 games

really changed my opinion on our early season defense.

Yeah

Still don’t feel bad BG in bastketball hell

Daye hurt?
Or just playing that bad?
Lawrence Frank hates Charlie Villanueva and Austin Daye because they're horrible chuckers.
Derrick: 7 assists, 0 turnovers.
Nice to see they gave the TO's to the guys who cant catch the ball
Does Rose play the rest of this game?
If Detroit gets it under 10 during his normal rest, I'd say yeah.
Nvm no thibs subs
Man, are they ever going to sit Rose and Lu?
Get it to 25 (quickly) and sit Rose and Deng please.
