Oh my goodness Knicks, are you really going to lose to the Wiz???
so on magics blog they asked how the magic would do if rip were playing

my favorite response was this

Winning by more if anything.
Hamilton’s a terrible fit for the Bulls — a high-volume, low-percentage scorer (like they need another one of those) who can’t really play defense any more. He can shoot threes (kind of), which they were missing, but hey, so could Bogans. They’re going to miss Bogans.
Not that Ronnie Brewer is much better, but at least Brewer’s still… wait, is Brewer young? I can never remember which Brewer is Ronnie, and which one is Corey.

LOL. We're going to miss Bogans? Has anyone even picked him up?
I actually feel sad about that

I hated that Keith was a starter, but he seemed like a great guy. Has to suck that he was on a title contender and now he’s jobless

yeah, i thougth he would be back for vet min

well, too bad though. wish him well and i hope he goes on a contender IN THE WEST!

LMFAO!!

HAHAHAHAHA! OH THE IGNORANCE! THE STUPIDITY! ITS DELICIOUS!!!

Must be a Wages of Wins fan.
I hate it over that at Pinstriped

They’re stuck up assholes who think every game they play should be given them and if they don’t win its the refs fault.

yea thats essentially it

they are complaining about espn and already coming up with excuses and how winning against us means nothing and if they lose espn will just eat us up cuz we are media darlings and the world hates the magic or something…

Sound like

Detroit Lions fans

I likedwhen they were arguing that Nelson is basically just as good as Rose
See you in the 2nd round!

Oh WAIT!

Ignorance is bliss, I guess

idiots…

They are in a new level of ignorace
i believe that realm is called

talkingoutofassandwrong

plain stupidity
LOL @ Singleton... you kidding me..
Boooo Wizards. Man, they suck

Anyone watching that game? Who put the Knicks up in the end there?

melo hit a 3
ahh, shit. Thanks
...should of traded for Melo
You should have known that
Shumpert missed!

JOHN WALL FOR 3 AGAIN LEZGO

How does the plan come down to a John Wall 3?

Wizards have been watching Atlanta for game advice.

Keep it going Bulls!
Flip Saunders needs to be fired. How on Earth could they setup for a play with Wall shooting a 3 pointer?
Wow wizards...
Bobcats and Hawks going to OT....lmao

Bulls gon run all over them

Hawks are the biggest troll in the NBA
Thunder might be better with Harden starting
harden is a stud

fear the beard

They might be better with Harden at PG.
I dont' think there's much doubt at this point

Starting with 3 one dimensional players just makes things too easy

Dammit Dwight!

If you joined the Bulls, Rose wouldn’t have to keep making layups over you!

Howard is a moron

idc what adidas says, fuck them and you can sign with Nike

I find it hard to believe Adidas would think it's bad to have both their stars on one team...

that would win multiple championships. And on the Bulls no less, the biggest global basketball brand out there.

or underarmour. hell, reebok could use some stardom
That's exactly what i was about to type
somehow baron davis is the leader of the knicks

even when he isn’t playing.

that howard guy is pretty good
damn that would have made my day if the knicks lost
Couple of thoughts from the game

-noah and boozer are playing well i think. In the sense that they are doing what they should be doing. Boozer calling for the ball and being aggressive at the rim is nice. Noah is playing the best of any of our bigs on dwight, not that it matters…d12 a beast. Hes also making good reads on offense and doing a good job of playing as sort of a second playmaker

-Korver wants to score in this game, and i sort of like it. Hes been alright defensively, for him that is. I just like that hes hungry to get his shots off without being a total ball hog. I expect more hits for him next half.

-brewer has been okay so far, not a negative, but not really a huge positive either…kinda forgot about him most of the game.

-JL3 bothers me. I hate the way he runs the offense and hes terrible on defense. Actually, i played ball with friends and my brother this morning, and the way jl3 is playing is just how my brother plays the point….so maybe thats why im irked by john lucas….

-sort of a continuation, but if we had cj, our bench would have gotten the lead while their bench was in im sure. Both benches looked terrible against each other…..ours more than theirs i thought.

-Bulls sort of remind me of the gators vs oden, when the gators just played single coverage on oden and let him ‘get his’ while not letting anyone else score…of courses in the nba…its not that simple….i like the bulls d, and i like that thibs complained that we werent playing d yet in the 1st quarter…

-Im honestly surprised were doing so well, i anticipated a loss, maybe i give the magic too much credit…then again…games not over yet…my fears have time to come true

-rose is playing well, so is dwight, this is a great game in general….

wtf, the game isnt over yet
i thought it was obvious i was talking

so far….i cant come up with thoughts of the game by half time?

OMG DROSE AND DWIGHT TALKING!!!
Dwight is telling him how to jump

so he doesn’t get injured when Dwight knocks Rose to the ground.

Get a lip reader over here now!! I need to know what they said lol
"Don't adjust your set"

what is this, 1992?

he's not chipper
If Dwight would just admit why he doesn't want to come here

I would respect him more. But not admitting why just makes him look like winning isn’t the most important team.

Winning isn't the most important thing in the NBA nowadays

Marketing is. Why do you think the NBA lost so many viewers over the years?

that's why Durant and Rose are the NBA saviors

more Durant actually.

Let's do this! Come on baby!
Hawks in overtime again lol
They'll be nice and tired for us tomorrow night then
Ugh Noah you gotta drain that
at least hit the damn rim
noah is terrible in the post
Bogans didn't add shit. Kill that myth
He stood in the corner

But he is a chippy defender. I like his D…But thats it

Atta boy, Booz
Boozer looking like a beast

haters where you at

Where you're at when he mostly sucks
well, lets hope we develop more supporters :)
Booz balling
God damn Carlos dominate that skinny white guy! LOL!
How is Howard's left hand? He's been getting everything righty lately
was there anything said about why noah has that thing on his elbow?
I forgot

Taj is not a starter period

I love JVG's rants.
I hate him. So irritating to listen to.
JVG>Mark Dumbass Jackson

Thank GOD I dont have to listen to him again

Momma there goes that man
Seriously

He stated whats the point in fan voting when its obvious who should start
then names 6 guys for 2 positions

Honestly I know it doesn't fit the narrative

But the Bulls have looked like the best team so far this year. Not Miami

Those sleeves should be banned

No medical purpose

Damn Boozer came to play tonight!
Boozer, y u no do this every game?
OH SHIT ROSE!
ALLEY OOP FINALLY
DAMMIT

I go to watch my brother and that happens

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
I love how Chris Bosh gets no respect nowadays

Like winning in triple-OT with only Bosh is a miracle

Everybody’s forgotten Bosh the Raptor

They went up against the Hawks

The dumbest team I’ve ever seen

you mean the same dumb team we almost lost to?
the same team we only need a quarter to win

even if we give them a headstart

no, the same dumb team that had just beat the heat at full strengtha few days before
I think it's because they just beat the Heat with Bosh and the Two butt buddies.
DESTRUCTION!!!
Ka-Ka-Ka-Kaboom!
theres goes your lob folks
The whole team on Dwight!
Nice steal Rose
that was a weak dunk

come on derrick. smash that shit down

And hurt a wrist?

Pishhh

you mean elbow?
No wrist. He hurt his wrist last season.
Wrist hurt

no noi

Boozer has been hustling this season way more than last. I'm liking it.
This team is beautiful to watch
Waiting for the Juice comment

about Rose not getting up with the same burst as last year. lol

JIMMY BUTLER ROTY

Look at that PER!
ITS GREATER THAN JORDANS PER!!!
Nice help D by Booze there.
That was almost anticlimactic
Please put all these pour saps out of their misery and just have us battling Miami at the end
seriously

Let’s just play like 15 more warmup games then go Miami v. Chicago

Deng to Rose

Awesome

so how bout the hawks

aren’t gonna have any legs by tomorrow… it’ll sure help that half of Philips arena will he rooting for the Bulls

3OTs vs Miami yesterday and now OT vs Charlotte today with Bulls tomorrow....thats alot of basketball
Wow

I’m speechless. I’ve never felt like the Bulls were clearly better than Orlando before. Orlando is done, Dwight better leave his bags packed.

I’ve never felt like the Bulls were clearly better than Orlando before.

where the hell have you been

In their head to head matchups

Not overall.

yeah but keep those bags out of the doorways. Wouldn't want to pull a Boozer
We're smacking around the 3rd best team in the East
Were the shit and the Magic suck

= an ass whoopin

Game ain't over though

Orlando has the shooting to make a run

Yeah

it’s strange to see us winning like this.

The Bulls will not be giving them open shots though
I like the D to take risks and cause TOs
Thibs he crazy!

LOL

Derrick and pro-active needs to have a heart-to-heart - dude you have $$$$
Sweat is good for you

Cools you down.

How the hell does Howard not wanna join this team?

when KK has 9 points you know you’re in a good place

is korver the new bogans?
what a shitty sequence
"You know how Thibs is, HE CRAZY!"

Yes, we know Derrick.

He's got that Jack Nicholson Joker smile going for him.
UGH I hate 3-point shooting teams

dont get too complacent…

Brewer sucking on both ends
ugh 3 point barrage yuck
bang bang bang
Meh, they'll cool eventually
3 3pointers in a row

wow

Damn

3 bad shots and 9 points

bad? Brewer was 5 months late for that one
Damn you JBJ

you know that’s your fault, don’t you?

lol, yeah sorry about that
lolol the fuck is this
Orlando's plan

shoot 3s shoot 3s shoot 3s….Give to dwight whole game

You're late

Thats been ORLs plan since SVG got there.

i need more rose penetration
That's what she said....
ummm..... yeah buddy... it's 2012 I guess.
Sorry I couldn't resist
Why does JRICH have to be so good

against us.

It's VC all over again
i come back after taking a piss and now we're only up 9? WTF?!

just gonna keep an empty bottle next to me now.

Derrick Rose misses a 22-foot fade away jumper from the top of the key

HORRIBLE SHOT

Shot clock

But yeah agreed

Ok. If the Bulls blowout the Magic...

I’m alright with leaving the starters in just to shove it into Dwight’s face .

Close out on the 3 they cant dribble
need to bring back Korver for Brewer
Deng with his one man breaks WTF!
Still nice work by Booz
ASS shot
Nelson gave the camera man a wink
This is why I hate 3pt shooting teams

streaky as hell but when they’re on….fuuuuuuck

wake up everyone

Games not over

Rose with 4 TO. Gotta clean that up
to keep his average
Although one of those was bs

Should of gone to one of our bigs…don’t remember who

Just made up for it with that play
Here comes reddick to hit 4 threes
DERRICK ROSE BABY!

and DID YOU SEE THAT SPIN?! that was nasty

Rose

Too strong for Anderson! LOL

Nice drive Rose!

nice by Rose.

CLose out on the 3

If you have to….let Howard have his

40 INCH VERTICAL
ROSE WITH DA BLOCK!

great block.

Wow, nice block
siiiiiiiiiiiiiiick block
Rose....got hops
With the block!
and now Rose with the mental block
How far away was Rose?

Thats crazy

"Rose looks less explosive"

maybe not :P

Ugh, gotta hit ronnie
Offensive rebound!
shitty game by ronnie
Why did Booz fade away?

Had a layup!

Howard would get him
Dwight was there
Damn Carlos take your man to the rim!
If you dont have it, get it back to rose

PLEASE

okay now, who gave Ryan Anderson a mirror.... be honest
I love unforced turnovers
Jesus Noah, finish! FUCK!
long ass possession
Noah....try dunking. Its fun.
calm the fuck down bulls
Bad basketball right now

But we’re in the lead

Bulls are trying to pace themselves

physical game

Noah why are you screening JJ Reddick??
Shy Ronnie has been kinda in between today

Very indecisive

Late ass foul call Wtf
Geez, ref didn't want to call that
Yup, thats why Rose didnt try to put it up
Eat that rondo
Starting our set with 10 seconds left on the shot clock... bad idea
Fuck that was a foul on Howard
that was a foul on everyone
Oh fuck you refs
Rose has been super efficient
How can you call a foul on that?

Everyone was fouling

clear foul when Big baby went down
Bold prediction: Taj makes a 3
Damn Rose!

Oh well, get it next time

Rose gotta make that
He got pushed
How did rose miss that?
1 word: contact
On the first one he had, not that last one, just missed
Frustrating that he missed that!
Whotfuck is on Turkeyglue?
Nothings hitting
Taj is not a starter JVG

But a Very good big off the bench

It's all threes for that team

If we execute, we should win

Orlando fans are shocked

they didn’t know you could call fouls on bulls drives

LETS GO LUCAS MAKE ME PROUD
Or just don't make me wanna puke
JL3333333333
Asik's time

just watch it

LUCAS SCORED!!
Little Johnny

Fuck yeah

lol nice Lucas.

JL3!
Lucas with the off the dribble jumper? WOW
JL3 all day!

Ok, not really.

i like asik on dwight a lot better than noah
Dwight bowed Asik in the face did he?
dunno

Asik is working in his flopping skills

dunno

Asik is working in his flopping skills

I'm telling you

Asik’s time

Asik is getting in Howard's head
It's called magic
Wouldn't it be great if Asik was talking shit to him the whole time also.

We don’t need you Howeed I am superior player to you!

Dwight

Wouldn’t understand him lol…That would make it even more awesome lol

Dwight is a travelin man.
dwight can't do aything against THE TURKISH HAMMER!!
Is he related to the famus Lucas
George?
The former player, coach for the Spurs
Got your answer.
JL3 redemption
Thank goodness Taj didnt have to shoot a jumper
JL3 ain't all that bad lol
I just wish he were better defensively
that's it Taj

close to the basket

That's Taj's range on his shot right now
John Lucas Awesome!
I am so shock that

Lu is 8 seasons in and only 26. Feels like he has been around forever.

I know left after only 1 season @ Duke
Get this to 15.
2 fouls by big baby
Deng got whacked
A player that can be the best on a Championship team needs to make his teammates better

That’s not Dwight Howard.

Fuck you Pig Baby
Boom, suck it Davis
Deng quietly have a great game
that's the core of the Luol Deng's Arts
i don't think its that quiet

he’s been everywhere

lol great defensive sequence…it wouldn’t be too hard if Davis is taking the lead.

finally they called

davis was outta control

Can we change the nickname "Big Baby Davis" to "Big Fat Davis"

it’s more accurate

How bout Big Fat ass Fuck.
Go Fuck Yourself Davis
Nobody will use either of those names though

too much profanity

how about glen “big fat fucking piece of useless shit” davis

i can see that catching on

JVG in love with Deng
Well, he's amazing
Ugh

Slow reaction to Rose being doubled

too much standing and watching
Hey Dwight

fuck you

Whatever Bulls increased its lead to 11
left work at half time...can't watch the rest of the game :(

How are we doing? And im assuming ESPN will reair this tonight??

up 11 at end of 3rd. Replay on ESPN at 2:30 am
music to my ears! thanks sir
Thats is garbage end of quarter possesion
For some reason they had Rose dribbling in a spot he could get trapped.

He should have been at the top of the key, where he could easily pass to anywhere on the floor.

Yup

He open play

No fucken screen to bring the big

Rose/Lucas/Korver/Taj/Deng
ANyone have a recap of the quarter,

I had to leave for most of it.

We started well, Magic started hitting 3 after 3. They evenually stopped and we built the lead back
that about sums it up

Deng was also fantastic in that quarter

content with JL3rd right now

nice & steady

Jeez

Atlanta in another OT game.

Their players are going to be ruined tomorrow.

Are they really?
they playing 3 in a row?
they got a pretty tough schedule too
i really hope Deng makes it to All star game
he needs a rest
screw that

if hes not on a defensive team at the end of the season…ill be upset…..

why can't he be both? i think he deserves it (though it's early in the season)
& all defensive whichever team
My kids favorite player. Even though we live in Las Vegas.

I’ve trained them well. They love all Chicago teams.

He's been my fav since we got him
So when should rose come back in?
8 min

Or if the lead gets down to 2 possessions

Injuries can be blessings in disguise

I was worried coming into the season that we lacked depth at the point guard position and I’ve been really pleasantly surprised by Lucas. I actually enjoy watching him play. Not sure why some folks here rag on him.

He cost us the Denver game.
even MJ missed free throws...sheesh
heh, still can't get over that?
Lucas holds the ball too long

Someone needs to tell SVG that a suit jacket doesn’t go with a polo shirt

LOL Lucas

swish floater!

AMNESTY ROSE WE GOT SOMEONE BETTA
JL3 looked like Barea right there
JL3 is fairly quick
Makes up for his

short-ness

I hate that fuckin rule
Fuckin box out
You box out dwight. Lolo
Why does Taj ALWAYS go for the first pump fake! Irritating!

Is it always a foot violation even if it is unintentional?

or kick ball whatever it's called
Aight Rose, it's the 4th.

Time to take over!

why is rose back so early?

lucas was doing okay

Geez, don't setup that far out Booz
We can't put them away. I don't like this.
COME THE FUCK ONNNNNNNNNN BOOZ
Boozer dunk that shit!!!!!!!!!
Slam it Boozer!
Boozer is fucking trash.

Dunk that shit you soft ass bitch!!!!!

BOozer and Noah suck ass
Bullshit call
Noah can't catch a break this season
BOOZER YOU ARE TRASH

GOD DAMN IT BOOZER

FUCK

can't buy a bucket
Boozer you pig
Boozer misses another bunny.

COme on man!

LOL DAVIS took out the ref
Dear mother fuckin GOD!
Someone please make a shot to kill this run
lmao @ big baby
fuck you Davis...hope you broke something that isn't the lunch in your socks.
Will Boozer ever go strong to the rim or will he just float one up EVERYTIME
HOLY SHIT MAKE A SHOT
Y'all see that shit by Dwight.

That’s why I hate him and why he needs someone better to win a championship. He’s a fucking clown.

What he do
EMT reviving Davis when he fell

playacting

Big baby

OK DON’T KNOCK ME OUT DWIGHT

I can't stand big baby

bulls had so many opportunities this game

really shouldn’t be this close

Gotta get back in control
Boozer's got to at least try and draw the foul on those offensive boards

fuck those lame floater putbacks

Thank God for Korver
Earn your pay Korver
there you go kyle
Has anybody on this team heard of a pump fake???

Dwight tries to block everything.

boozer is a soft bitch ass lazy ass motherfucker.
THERE YOU GO KYLE (2X)!!!
finally hit a shot Booz
BOOZER YOU ARE A WASH
Saw that play coming from KK to Boozer
OK BOOZER YOU ARE USELESS
Boozer is just terrible right now.

The one time he hits a shot, he gives it right back.

Booz is afraid of contact apparently
Jus when we get it goin Booz

You gotta fuck it up again.

And boozer turns it over
God damn Boozer, go up like a god damn man

Rose can’t be the only one taking contact, someone else needs to take it in there hard.

Bulls need to get its offense together
The ball sliped, can't blame boozer
Boozer is causing global warming
Bullshit.

He tried to pass it with his left hand. Use two hands and it wont slip.

does dwight howard ever leave the lane

it seems like Noah is running all over and Howard is camped out right at the charge line

Yeah, I noticed that too

Thought maybe I was just biased

Damn Booz, not cool

Derrick’s been pretty meh too

I would trade boozer for Ivan Johnson
Booze is seriously afraid of contact

I just don;t get it

Boozer is Brad Miller with defensive rebounding capabilities

Don’t think that’s what we thought we were paying for

It's gotta be Rose time right now.

Push it a lil bit.

he's gonna do is thing, and you know this!
we cannot let this one get away from us.

finish it off guys!

rose looks bleh out there
that arm band bothering him a bit.
shoulder+howard looking to knock him out
Nobody was bitching about Booz in the first half
I wanted to, but I knew I'd get heat for it.
as well you should
It was a matter of time dude lol
He wasn't sucking in the first half
Well he was a man in the first half
that's what I'm saying

he still is 8-14

stay focused!!
OK ROSE time to put this away
The "best power forward in the league" is getting smoked by the Cavs tonight
Lol,

I saw that but didn’t wanna start that up again.

Jamison has those strange sporatic huge games
best power forward's team

28 points and 13 boards. money baby

I was offered Gerald Wallace for Boozer straight up should I accept the trade?
i gladly would
Not with taj starting
I would trade booze for Ivan Drago
You Will Lose
If he dies ... he dies
I would trade booze for cap space and that kia Blake dunked over
How bout a pack of cigarettes?
good lord, I hate howard.
Will someone ANYONE

Box out Dwight

korver puss foul
Rose fucked up right there.

He’s gotta help the guy who picked up Jameer and body up Howard a bit.

ROSE-KORVER-DENG-NOAH-ASIK
rose-lucas-deng-boozer-asik
boozer just stop!!!
should have returned to Rose
Rose take over please!!!!!
Boozer and those damned jump shots
Boozer.

Called for Noah in the post. No end to his fuck ups.

Well he is right under the basket

But Dwight was there so…

Bad shot Rose
Rose you fucking ball hog
UGH ROSE PLAY UNDER CONTROL
only up by 3 now, come out finish this one off.
3 point fucking game!!!!!!F%%%%
Looks like this one will probably come down to the wire unless the Bulls can go on a little run here.
sucking bad on both ends right now
Booz is looking awful,

but this little collapse right here is on Rose. If he’s scared……………

rose has missed a few shots here
Rose is always scared to drive the lane on Howard. This is not new

Too passive

Yeah because getting knocked out of two games was a bitch move
Injured elbow, been knocked out by him twice, I don't blame him

But he is gonna have to suck it up these final minutes and just take the contact

Yeah, not a huge deal

it’s not like he’s been bad. Just hasn’t been himself

Yup

Would help if anyone would knock down a damn shot and give him some room

I've been thinking the same thing all night.
After being knocked out 2 games because of Dwight

Idk if I would blame him…But he needs to do other things

He's fine

He’s taking the same shots as the first half. They just aren’t falling right now

too passive?

howard is fucking 7 feet tall and almost 100 pounds heavier than him

Theres no room where the fuck is he gonna go

Those picks dont free him up

They don't free him up because he doesn't use them.

He just floats near the screen and allows his defender to recover very easily.

Rose, Butler, Deng, Omer, Noah
At least make Howard shoot free throws!
ya lets do the hack a howard!!
EVERYBODY

CHILL THE FUCK OUT

this is a game we could have used rip

we need another smart scorer on the floor

im late or the game, why is he out again?
why not rest noah a bit
Big win Pacers.
Korver baby!
GIMME DA FUCKING HOT SAUCE

far out, KK is a trigger, he doesn’t even set himself.

Jameer got left in the DUST
finish it off boys.
please don't be injured
come on Deng, gotta do better than that.
Boozer make these free throws...
OK, I"m going to spit this out

Carlos Boozer and Korver were great tonight. The Utah Jazz posse hooked it up big time

this one's over. BULLS!!
Korver ... +22

It’s happening.
