***yawn*** Go Bulls!
Okay. Stop shooting 19 footers please.
Place is as empty as Palace Of Auburn Hills
does anyone else cringe everytime noah shoots?

I bet Noah does as well.

it doesn't look that bad just needs to get confidence that he will hit it.
UGHHHHHH

GIMME MY ALLEY OOP

Dammit ronny

That had alley-oop written all over it

Brewer blows a Rose highlight.
This game was over yesterday
Can anyone please tel Detroit that this is a basketball game

and not a high school dance. I am tired of listening to all the music during the game play the damn organ and let the game go on.

haha

I noticed that too. I guess they have to make this somewhat entertaining for their 1,000 fans that showed up.

At least we know there's a good roadtrip destination in Detroit

Guaranteed tickets

I feel like Rose get a lot of potential assists

taken away by fouls.

Ronnie, do a fucking lap
He gets a pass because that was his steal.

For now.

Noah with the flop!
Taj please STOP
Taj...take it easy on these baseline jumpers buddy.
Is Noah actually getting pushed when he does that?
If it gets to 20 can Rose sit?
I think Thibs isnt doing his normal rotation

because he believes once he takes Rose out, he wont need to bring him back in.

Brewer with the 3

makes right triangles with his arms when he shoots, but god damn it goes in

I love how Tyrus was getting killed for taking the

same shots Taj keeps missing.

Taj is also 5-9
I don't mind him taking them

I just think it’s ironic as hell

I think I would have liked to see what Thibs could have gotten out of Tyrus.
A lot of bench warming?
Taj is 5-9

12 points/7 rebounds/ 2 blocks

Again...I don't have a problem with it
Why you so angry!?
plus...

4 assists and no turnovers in 20 minutes.

pretty sure the ones he made were close range though

except maybe one…

lol poor lawrence frank
Good job CSN

Herp derp

Brewer might be a MIP candidate.
Ok Thibs

Let’s get the bench in

so last 2 games

64 points then 74 points..what does detroit score tonight?

Brew Brew. Stroking it tonight.
Where the hell was he hiding?
Fell behind because he flopped and diddn't get a call
They really love their Black Eyed Peas in Detroit.
If u flop you can get rewarded with a steal
boozer isnt playing anymore
he never really started tonight
Resting his voice

for larger crowds.

No need to scream when the crowd is this small.

Great now Rose gotta go the whole way. Dammit!
Rose first TO

blind side steal, darn.

And Noah didn't even tell him to watch his back
should we be threatened by this run?
Bulls do look a bit tired

so boozer gonna be out the entire 4th quarter again right

Boy we either just win or crush teams
Sounds good to me!
i second this motion,
Time for beast mode ...
Noah's passes have been shit tonight
Meh he gets a pass after last night :)
uh oh Rip is strapping his mask on..game time
That isn't his mask. That's his face.

He’s the Rorschach of the NBA.

NICE INBOUNDS KORVER

This might get interesting.

Bulls probably have tired legs.

But dont forget Boozer has been resting his voice on the bench

smart coaching

BOOZER STEAL?

BULLS WIN!

LOL BOOZER PLAYING DEFENSE AND GETTING THE STEAL

that’s cute.

poor Boozer.

We should happy that he got a steal. Except he preceded it by throwing the ball out of bounds, and then followed it with a dumb foul.

super late call
Was it after the shot?

Booz didn’t look like he fouled at all.

touch foul on the arm after the shot
Rip running around opens people up.
get boozer out
Minutes finally catching up to Lu.
Eject Ben
Flagrant call was enough
Booz has 3 steals tonight.

Career high?

so thats why he always says “gimme dat”…

4

cause they give that to Boozer

Fuck you BG
i know right

who the hell does he think he is

Ben needs to stop working out

sure his fouls are tough, but damn your shooting has sucked.

BG8 with thte flagrant on Noah
Fuck Gordon?
idk, on the replay it kind of just looked like it looked bad just because BG is so much stronger than Noah
Yea he didnt wrap his neck

but it was the correct call imo

BG is one jealous mofo.
Ha. He coulda stayed.
In the end he wanted to stay

It was the Bulls that pulled the offer

i almost dropped a deuce when rip went down.
Thibs, put Big Sexy in to beat ass....oh....

wow he threw him down

How long until Neil Funk calls someone a thug?

You could tell that he wanted to call Bynum one.

I'm tired of his old ass
Detroit thugs at it again

Was hoping the flagrant would wake up Noah but he’s so passive. No energy or anger. Too much Chronic.

Bad Boys 2.0

Only this time they’re just bad at basketball.

anyone will bynum for back up point guard?
Boozer really is the key

when Rose gets doubled

so much for boozer and noah not being good together.
dude, same shot for boozer
can booz sit there forever??
FUCK~+ ROSE NO!!!!!!!T!$YIUA(!@Y$EP
What the fuck?

OH MY GOD ROSE IS DOWN

LOTTERY PICK HERE WE COME

you need some sedatives
Charlotte up 111-97 on the Knicks with 3:50 left.
Hilarity: Bynum blocked by the rim, stays down calling for a foul
Kinda invisible foul on Rose
yeah

looked like he just came down weird

Just couldnt find his feet
And all of BaB collectively clutched their chest

and looked around for their blood pressure medicine

oh god

almost had another heart attack…seriously this game needs to end

Rose shouldn't have been out there any damn way
This.
Thibs is going to be the most hated coach

in the city if he keeps this go hard BS up

i'm like a nervous mother every time he drives
God...i hate when he gets hit in mid air like that.
Yeah, the kid has so much forward momentum.

Every time he goes down on a hard drive it makes me nervous.

All Hail King Booz
All right, sit him down.
rose kinda spazzed on that drive.

i didn’t see the foul actually

looks like he just landed on his funny bone
They really have to sit Rose. This game is not competitive and Detroit is committing a lot of energy in awkward, stupid ways.
why the hell does thibs insist on playing both him and lu

during meaningless minutes? And do him and Dusty Baker share a long lost mother?

It's going to catch up with him and the honeymoon will be over
DAMN IT THIBS SUB BENCH MOB IN!

damn boozers on a roll

inb4 next 2 games suck

Booz. Nice come back game.
Feel like my prediction of a

20/10 season for Rose is spot on.

Put Jimmy in!
even scal at this time..who gives a crap there's 2 mins left!!
Holy shit Thibs needs to be punched in the nuts.

Take Rose and Deng out of the fucking game you madman.

Yup. Take them the hell out Thibs.
Why does he not take them out?

I don’t understand why he doesn’t.

Boozer with his toughest rebound of the night

against NOah

Outta my way Jo!
lol boozer don't hurt your own teamates
SUBSTITUTION PLEASE
Luol totally took the night off. lol
He deserves it. A veteran coach wouldn't have brought him back in the 4th.

the fans are already emptying out

What fans?
I think that's the joke
Pretty sweet move if he couldve made that
err in reply to deng comment
They did that before the game.
Already emptying out? The place was empty at tip off.
Can we get Rose Noah Deng Boozer

outta there please

Please tell me Rose is out
thank you booz

for lighting it up when we least need it

Come on now.

He came in and started scoring right when it looked like the other guys were starting to let their fatigue show.

not gonna hate too hard

but we were up 12 late midway through the 4th. let’s see it in a tight game vs. lakers/hawks

Rose: 10 assists to 1 turnover.

Is that his best ratio?

im sure he had a game with 0 To

and technically that would be the best ratio :p

Boozer might just be the greatest player to ever put on a Bulls jersey
Good coach or not Thibs is an idiot
You are kidding.

Lu and Rose back on the floor.

I can't believe our starters are on the court

the pistons arent even trying to get rebounds

This atmosphere reminds me of a track meet where there are 10 events going on

with various music playing and no one is really watching the same thing.

Rubio just made a sick alley oop pass

But what else is new

I wonder if there's a method to thib's madness?

I mean this is rediculous

Pax has choked people for less
Nah he's just an ass
Someone had to talk mad shit to Thibs or something
Finally Tibs
WHAT HAPPENED

TO 48 MINUTES OF INTENSITY

Deng still on the floor. Damn
Take him out before the Pistons injure him

those scumbags will try to do it.

Deng needs to play at 50mph or he'll explode

LOL BOOZER

GRAB IT

GRAB IT

DAMN

He's always good for comedic relief
i heard that 2////LOL
Did Deng not suffer enough in the Sudan?
Poor Deng is still in
Calm down Neil Funk

every dark skinned black guy isnt Deng :)

scal doing jumping jacks
For as good of a coach Thibs is

His insistence to play Deng and Rose 40 minutes in blowouts is ridiculous. It’s just a matter of time before it bites us in the ass.

In a year where stars are falling like flies

Thibs is dead wrong for not resting guys. I just wish beat writers had the balls to ask him about it after the game

Atta boy Jimmy!
Jimmy Butler!
Pistons gave Thibs 3 chances to take out Deng in a blowout game.

He didn’t take any of them. This is beyond idiotic. He’s a great coach but this kind of shit turns locker rooms against you.

Hey, Jimmy Butler! 1st NBA block.
seriously jimmy needs more burn.

he’s so solid.

Jimmy!!! Nice work rook.
It's something about this kid
TO really Lawrence?
The patented VDN timeout.
I dont get why he doesn't play more.
Thibs likes guys who know his system well.
Are they seriously taking a timeout with 12 seconds left?

They are down by 18!

Wow I hate both of these coaches so much right now.

Micromanaging in full effect.

also jimmy like country music. we should call him darius rucker.
dfh

I am suddenly confused

about my boners for Debra Morgan

IF she is good enough for Dexter

she is good enough for me!

doesn't matter still fapped.
Covered up Debra Morgan

then I fapped

you people need girlfriends
Got a wife

still fapped

NOPE...i aways liked her.
your posts lately have been awfully strange
No they've just been awful.
I can make more substitutions than you!
Good game fellows

enjoyed the game threads tonight.

Have a good one!

I love Pat Boyle

He calls it like it is

Rose 39 minutes, Lu 38 minutes.

I’m sure KC and that bum from ESPN Chicago won’t say shit but that’s fucking idiotic. This game means nothing, none of the players were having hot nights worthy of extended minutes.

Eddie Jordan. Gilbert Arenas. Wiz.

I keep flashing back to that whenever Thibs pulls something like this.

It's total BS and needs to be addresses by

the media in this town.

What I want to know is why the F was Rose in so late into the 4th quarter?

My heart stopped when I saw him laying on the ground.

We were up by 18 with 3 minutes to go, pull him.

And Thibs put him BACK in
KCJHoop K.C Johnson
Rose just left the locker room with ice on his left elbow with trainer Fred Tedeschi. Presumably for X-rays
Rose was 7-15 FG

NICE….

3 of those shots were half court shots
That sort of helps the 0-6 from 3

Which makes his 2 PT FG% fantastic!

I think Greg Monroe had the quietest good game ever...

19 Pts, 13 Reb, 5 Ast, 1 Blk

Yeah..that some quality stuff right there.
I really like his game. Poor defender though.
Yeah, he'd probably be a solid third guy on a title team

With him and Knight they have a semblance of something that could get them out of the darkness. Should’ve just let Stuckey walk, though

They need to trade some of their 10,000 wing guys

And get rid of Villanueva

Piston almost made this game unwatchable.

Man they are an awful group.

Thibs is a mainac

If Rose is hurt at all, I’m killing his first born child

I believe you.
i think Rose will be just fine, he shot his FT's and kept playing.

looks like just precaution

there's the JBJ we all know and tolerate
He left the locker room with the trainer according to KC.

So we’ll probably have X-ray results soon enough.

Thibs is still in that rookie coach mentality. He acts like every game is a life or death situation.

There was no need for Rose to play the whole second half

And there was definitely no reason for Rose to be on the floor with less than 2 minutes in the game

Nah this is part of the reason

it took him so long to get a HC gig. There were concerns about him having mental blocks in terms of rotations and subs. I remember hearing about that when we got him.

I guarantee you

this will bite him in the ass hard someday and the uproar from the rest of the media (not the ass kissing beat reporters) will finally get it through his fat film obsessed ass.

Thibs doesn't give two shits about the media.

The Bulls have been an elite team since he walked into the Berto Center. That’s all he cares about and until something serious happens he’s not changing a thing.

something serious

thats what I meant.

says these xrays on rose reveal serious damage. that’s a scenario where I can see thibs in trouble.

are you being hypothetical or did you read that?
Take away Thib's gametapes

Much more effective

dumbass reporters keep skirting the issue

why are our two most important players in w a 15 point lead at the end of a game???

I know

I have a serious dislike for local Bulls beat writers. Joe Cowley may be drama but it’s mostly accurate drama. Brad Biggs may press the issue but at least he presses it. KC Johnson is an unprofessional kiss ass and Fridell is a coward for tweeting a comment he isn’t willing to ask.

if theres a reason to be a bulls reporter

it’s to ask questions like that. it sucks that they’re too worried about getting a thibs tonguelashing to do their jobs. and now that cjs injury is officially a dislocation, it makes the decision to leave them in that much more frustrating

I watched those guys kiss the underachieving ass

of Scott Skiles for years so nothing shocks me at this point.

Thibs would have to, you know

have relations with a woman first for him to have a first born. That takes away time from watching film.

whoops

supposed to be a rply to JBJ post

Boris Diaw and his man boobs shot 12/15 against the Knicks.
those are camembert reserves.
On a side note

League pass offering 5 team discount packages!

https://account.nba.com/leaguepass/broadband/

CHOICE:

Choose up to 5 teams to watch throughout the regular season.

4 Installments of:
$29.95
yeah i was going to do this

Chicago
Miami
OKC
Clippers

and who else?

Lakers or maybe Mavs?
I did the 5 team pack this year... haven't been very happy with it.

If you choose 5 popular teams, you get destroyed by blackouts. I’ve had a lot of days where I could not watch any of the 5 teams.

interesting

that was what I was afraid of. Those teams are always on national tv so blackout is always possible. Don’t only reason I even want league pass broadband is b/c I don’t have cable, so the blackouts on broadband especially suck and don’t make sense to me.

Right, I ordered it because I canceled my cable as well.

But the problem is, between NBA TV, TNT, Comcast Sports Network, ESPN, ESPN 2, and local stations, top teams are blacked out pretty often. I wound up paying the extra $60 to upgrade to the full package, because paying $109 for the 5 teams and not being able to watch any games some nights seemed like a waste, figured I might as well pay the extra so I can at least choose between a few games every night.

I had picked Chicago (on the off chance a road game would be watchable.. I was able to watch GSW), OKC, Clippers, Dallas, and Washington (wanted to see how Wall played this year… what a wasted pick). Washington was the only team I could catch most games of, if they weren’t playing someone popular. :P

I would go Chicago, Miami, Clippers, one of Portland/Denver and OKC.
Denver/Portland is interesting. Both teams have the chance to be sneaky good.
Yeah and they're not on national TV every week.

If Randolph didn’t get hurt I would also suggest Memphis.

Portland especially looks really good

I’m happy we don’t have to go to their building. That would be a tough tough game

The Clippers games I watched so far were really, really boring.

The couple Timberwolves games I had a chance to watch so far were much more entertaining, in terms of watching good basketball.

Something about the Clippers bugged me. Griffin making his angry face after a big dunk is MUCH less entertaining while watching a whole game as opposed to a highlight reel. When the dunk comes while they’re down 20 and he just made two bad / low effort plays, the effect is diminished.

rrrrrrrrrrrrrrubio
For $50 more..

You get all the games, broadband and mobile. Seems like a better deal to spring for the extra cash.

It's more like 70 more
Do the Knicks count as half a team seeing as they don't play any defense?

(THE BOBCATS lololololol)

Damn

thats pretty solid…wish you could do this with all sports

this is almost like the vinny thing in reverse

“d rose in the 4th quarter vinny.”

might need to get silvy on thibs case. love how pissed off he got vinny with that. and it actually worked.

So I missed the 2nd half of this game

and I’m too lazy to read through the game thread. What did I miss?

Bulls good. Pistons bad. Rose X-Ray
how did Rose hurt his elbow?
fell on it. I am sure he is fine
agreed, he shot his FT's and then went to the bench, then thibs subbed him back in.

he’s fine.

Nothing really

This was about as unexciting of a win as I can remember. BG had a pretty hard foul on Noah. Jerkface.

Nothing. The Pistons suck and the Bulls don't.
Boozer haters?

“He took too many jump shots.”

All good.
SamSmithHoops Sam Smith
Hearing good news that x-rays on Rose are negative. Assume he will be very sore, but also a very, very tough kid.
Can someone with a little more knowledge on the subject explain this to me

If Rose was having pain in his elbow after that fall, the concern would be more about ligament damage rather than anything with the actual bone, so wouldn’t an X-ray not be very telling? Wouldn’t you need an MRI?

basically it means he's fine but they want to give you the negative x-ray results to make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
I'm no doctor...

But I don’t think there can be much ligament damage by just falling on it. Wouldn’t it have to twist in some way?

it would be a bruise at best
I dunno...

The way we fell, it didn’t look like there was any kind of bad stretch or bend, so an x-ray may not be out of line here. Not the same as an elbow, but I took a really hard hit to my knee cap once and actually chipped a section of bone off, which caused a lot of pain and swelling. They may have suspected something similar?

This is my thinking too.
He'll likely get an MRI but a negative X-ray result is something to feed to the press right now.

Also my amateur analysis, I wouldn’t worry too much about ligament damage with just a straight fall.

Cool, hope that's the case
