Rose had a nice five minutes to start the game and has blown since. Does he not realize he could sit out the fourth quarter if he came out like an assassin?
He needs to take a few a game. I dont want Rose to take too much punishment. There is that risk that guys would play him physical or borderline dirty. Like what indy did
He’s over 33% if you get rid of full court heaves. I don’t want him jacking 3’s either, but fund something better to talk about. Bulls are up. Boozer is being awesome and you bitch. Annoying
and he’s taking 3s as the last open man, not coming down and jacking them up. Plus he’s 5-5 at the line. How much punishment do you want him to take? You guys need to quit with that crap.
Until then, get use to him preserving his body and picking his spots. Yes he’s incredible and yes you want to have ESPN highlights but he’s still a PG dammit
and he plays like that because he can’t shoot. And he recruited Lebron to save his legs and career because of wear and tear. You’re seeing it with him already.
Do you think Wade could do what Rose is doing on theis Bulls team dealing with double teams by default every night and passing the ball to Ronnie Brewer?
You want em taking jumpshots over taking it to the basket, fine. I don’t like it 1 bit. The dude can get anywhere on the floor and settles more often than not LATELY
You're arguing about this from an efficiency standpoint.
But looking at the Bulls starting lineup, where is the threat of a 3 supposed to come from? Deng and Rose. That’s it. They’re both shooting poorly, but if you’re just looking for the starting lineup to shoot long 2s and drive, well the defense can just pack the paint, right?
Shooting threes only opens things up when you're actually hitting them.
I never see guys closing out hard on Derrick 3pters, do you? It’s not like his huge amount of attempts is causing the defense to step out on him. They beg him to shoot that shot.
I agree with you on that. I just disagree that it’s a big deal at this point of the season. The Bulls win, and they’ll keep winning. Let him shoot those. He needs to hit them to beat miami. He needs to learn to hit them.
How about this: The guys that are good at threes should take a lot of them. The guys who are OK should take a few. And the guys that don’t make threes shouldn’t take any.
What about when he was missing them earlier in the year? Should he have stopped?
It’s an impossibility to get to the rim every time or even most of the time. Those other shots are going to be midrange jumpers or 3s. You can’t take every shot at the rim, so players are going to take those other shots and it’s because they’re stupid. It’s because a wide open jumper is often a smarter shot than driving blindly into traffic.
But honestly he was one of the best clutch shooters in the league and the Bulls could still use a guy like that. He deserves better than to waste away in Detroit. I can still see him going somewhere late in his career and getting a ring.
because Derrick’s pick n roll partner is too frequently Boozer who NEVER rolls. He just wants to pick n pop… which is nice, but at least Omer always rolls to the basket.
Really quietly, he had a great second half last year. Pretty much the only good thing Dumars has done in a long time. In retrospect, I’d take him above Cousins or Favors.
I’ve watched his games. He took 14 shots tonight. He’s not a gunner. And even if he doesn’t get the minutes now, why not draft a position of need for the future? No matter what you’re still going to need a SG in the future. I don’t get it
however, i think he needs to hit the three ball well against the heat. He wont be able to drive in all night long against a defensive juggernaut team like the heat.
But he shouldn't stop taking them only 10 games into the season.
He doesn’t work on them all off season to just abandon it. If he’s shooting like this a month or so from now then maybe it’s time to change up. It also doesn’t hurt to use it against the lowly Pistons.
What he’s been doing is all good and well, but against better teams his lack of size will be exploited the second he comes in the game. Even if CJ has an off shooting night, I still love his defense.
BTW, my buddy who went to the Sixth Man Jam this year says TONS of people were asking for Scal's autograph. I'm sure that makes him feel real sad. LOL.
neil funk looks odee crazy.

Matt Hoogland - January 9, 2012
well see i already have it and it's supposed to auto renew
i go to watch the game today, and my TV is asking me to buy it. so i do and it says it will be up in 15 minutes. over an hour later it still wasn’t.
on safari, i have sound no video. on chrome i had video/sound but no dvr controls. restarted chrome and now nothing works.
i’m downloading firefox hoping that at least fucking something works in this shit.

Jaina - January 9, 2012
I think Boozers been reading BAB

BG still helping us
Nice pass BG8
T.Moore - January 9, 2012
Jeez, Boozer's on fire
windycitywarrior - January 9, 2012
All Day
Bin Bin - January 9, 2012
Alright
Rose had a nice five minutes to start the game and has blown since. Does he not realize he could sit out the fourth quarter if he came out like an assassin?
dakoose - January 9, 2012
like that?
Brigade17 - January 9, 2012
Exactly like that.
dakoose - January 9, 2012
i think he heard you, lol
Geo4MVP - January 9, 2012
There you go!
windycitywarrior - January 9, 2012
Did BG screw Funk's wife or something? Seriously?
From all accounts BG is a good dude so what’s up with Funk’s bullshit?
Dils - January 9, 2012
Man, when Booz is hot, he's good. I'll give him that
Brigade17 - January 9, 2012
Yup.
dakoose - January 9, 2012
There we go
GO TO THE BASKET DAMNIT!
KCinIL - January 9, 2012
That's what I'm talking about Bitch.
All night long. Nobody can guard you!
dakoose - January 9, 2012
Booz got that pop workin
Matt Hoogland - January 9, 2012
shut up lawrence
his voice is more annoying than neil’s.
Jesus Fever - January 9, 2012
And then he jacks another three?
dakoose - January 9, 2012
Noah was fouled
Matt Hoogland - January 9, 2012
by boozer
Matt Hoogland - January 9, 2012
Looked like Boozer and Noah were fighting for that rebound
windycitywarrior - January 9, 2012
Ha yeah they were
Then Noah shoved Jerebko and lost the ball in the process lol
KCinIL - January 9, 2012
Booz forgot to yell
Brigade17 - January 9, 2012
And then a 3 ball
Rose your gonna kill me
KCinIL - January 9, 2012
That was his 2nd one
T.Moore - January 9, 2012
Fifth, and then sixth.
dakoose - January 9, 2012
Thats 2 too many
KCinIL - January 9, 2012
I don't really get him, to be honest.
Best penetrater in the league not named Lebron, yet he’s jacking ~5 threes a night.
dakoose - January 9, 2012
His shot selection had been great tonight. Relax.
DRose01 - January 9, 2012 via Android app
I wouldn't say great, but ok
MCREW - January 9, 2012
There's no night in which he shoots six threes that his shot selection has been great.
I’m sorry, but a career sub-33% shooter who’s struggling to hit them should not be shooting like he’s Ray Allen.
dakoose - January 9, 2012
Even LeBron stopped shooting em
KCinIL - January 9, 2012
THIS
MCREW - January 9, 2012
THIS
MCREW - January 9, 2012
He stopped shooting them all together
But then again he is 6-8 250+ it’s easier for him he can dish out punishment…Rose can take more punishment even with his size
T.Moore - January 9, 2012
But Rose is bigger than most of the people gaurding him
And faster. He can get to any spot on the court. Just as he did right there
KCinIL - January 9, 2012
He's not bigger than the centers tho
He needs to take a few a game. I dont want Rose to take too much punishment. There is that risk that guys would play him physical or borderline dirty. Like what indy did
T.Moore - January 9, 2012
I'm not saying 0 3's
But 5,6,7 a game, with his %? No bueno
KCinIL - January 9, 2012
Chill, he was wide open
DRose01 - January 9, 2012 via Android app
There's a reason.
He can’t really shoot threes.
dakoose - January 9, 2012
Mmmk
DRose01 - January 9, 2012 via Android app
He's had one great month shooting threes in his entire NBA life, I hope you realize that.
dakoose - January 9, 2012
Just cuz your open doesn't mean you jack it up
Take a couple dribbles and shoot it from the elbow
KCinIL - January 9, 2012
Yup, that simple
DRose01 - January 9, 2012 via Android app
Like Josh Smith?
dakoose - January 9, 2012
That's not even a fair comparison
DRose01 - January 9, 2012 via Android app
Well, he hits threes just about as well as Smith hits jumpers.
You realize he’s 27.6% on the season, and was poor outside of one good month last season, too.
dakoose - January 9, 2012
and again
He needs to stop
windycitywarrior - January 9, 2012
Booz damn!
T.Moore - January 9, 2012
boozer teasing us!!!
BULLysh - January 9, 2012
Boozer brought he's A game tonight! Wow!
MCREW - January 9, 2012
PotG
Protocol - January 9, 2012
DUKE!
KCinIL - January 9, 2012
Booz kills people
Bin Bin - January 9, 2012
And it's not his own teamates this time
windycitywarrior - January 9, 2012
Tayshawn's chest is so caved in Gollum lives in it..
Matt Hoogland - January 9, 2012
Or
Bilbo Bogans lives in there
T.Moore - January 9, 2012
everything about boozer just makes me lol
dp8292 - January 9, 2012
This strong Boozer performance doesn't count.
It’s against a bad team. AMNESTYYYY!!!
Dr. Handsome, D.D.S. - January 9, 2012
Trade him while he still has value!
MCREW - January 9, 2012
second that notion!
Brigade17 - January 9, 2012
hes good at lighting up shit teams
Matt Hoogland - January 9, 2012
Awesome Boozer
Would like to see them give it to him in the post the rest of the game while he’s playing with confidence
SAVE FERRIS - January 9, 2012
I'd like Thibs or one of the other coaches to say
“Derrick, those long jumpers aren’t falling. Be aggressive, go to the hoop” whenever he gets into these lulls
windycitywarrior - January 9, 2012
Y'all, Rose is shooting 27.7 % from 3pt land this year.
If ya don’t know, now ya know.
dakoose - January 9, 2012
Super Nintendo, Sega Genisis
KCinIL - January 9, 2012
50 inch screen money green leather sofa
paddyfairview - January 9, 2012
Ugh
He’s over 33% if you get rid of full court heaves. I don’t want him jacking 3’s either, but fund something better to talk about. Bulls are up. Boozer is being awesome and you bitch. Annoying
DRose01 - January 9, 2012 via Android app
I don't think he's bitching
He just wants him to stop shooting 3s which is a fair criticism
KCinIL - January 9, 2012
No he's not.
I subtracted 5 attempts and he’s still at 31 percent.
dakoose - January 9, 2012
You realize he wouldn't have to jack threes at the end of the possessions if
he tried to get in the paint earlier in said possessions.
dakoose - January 9, 2012
I'd understand the criticism of Rose if others weren't getting shots
He’s 12 and 7 and taken only 10 shots. He’s fine with the 3s he’s taking
Dils - January 9, 2012
Stop with the ten shots nonsense.
He’s used 13 possessions to get his 14 points.
dakoose - January 9, 2012
Say what? He has 14 and 7
and he’s taking 3s as the last open man, not coming down and jacking them up. Plus he’s 5-5 at the line. How much punishment do you want him to take? You guys need to quit with that crap.
Dils - January 9, 2012
This…
k21c - January 9, 2012
Punishment?
Dude should be getting double digit free throw attempts. Go look at the rest of the best players in the league.
KCinIL - January 9, 2012
When he's as big as Lebron, holla at me
Until then, get use to him preserving his body and picking his spots. Yes he’s incredible and yes you want to have ESPN highlights but he’s still a PG dammit
Dils - January 9, 2012
DWade got a ring taking the punishment.
I’ll take it.
dakoose - January 9, 2012
DWade got a ring playing with Shaq
and he plays like that because he can’t shoot. And he recruited Lebron to save his legs and career because of wear and tear. You’re seeing it with him already.
Dils - January 9, 2012
Yes, Shaq was key.
But they won a ring because he got to the line a bajillion times a game…..and took the punishment.
dakoose - January 9, 2012
And he's slowing down at 29!
Do you think Wade could do what Rose is doing on theis Bulls team dealing with double teams by default every night and passing the ball to Ronnie Brewer?
Dils - January 9, 2012
Wade may have gotten his ring
But he’s is beaten up. Kobe looks healthier than him,
T.Moore - January 9, 2012
Exactly
This season is going to kill Wade
Dils - January 9, 2012
Ok go look at the top damn PGs then
5 fts a game is not a very good stat to have for him.
KCinIL - January 9, 2012
And other Pgs don't play above the rim
You guys are killing me
Dils - January 9, 2012
We're just gonna agree to disagree
You want em taking jumpshots over taking it to the basket, fine. I don’t like it 1 bit. The dude can get anywhere on the floor and settles more often than not LATELY
KCinIL - January 9, 2012
18 and 7 after 3
and enough energy for the 4th qtr. without the abuse. OK I’m done.
Dils - January 9, 2012
Should have enough energy
It’s the fuckin Pistons!
KCinIL - January 9, 2012
Agreed. lol
Dils - January 9, 2012
See
Debates can end well! =0
KCinIL - January 9, 2012
What crap?
Is he not averaging 5 three pointers a game?
dakoose - January 9, 2012
Two end of quarters today
So he has used 2 less possessions. Fine they count, but give guy a break.
DRose01 - January 9, 2012 via Android app
More often than not he can preempt the end of pssession heave
by looking to actually penetrate.
dakoose - January 9, 2012
One was from 65 feet moron
DRose01 - January 9, 2012 via Android app
ahh the 3rd grade name callin
Come on guys
KCinIL - January 9, 2012
Well......
kind of covers that, I would think.
dakoose - January 9, 2012
Luol deng is shooting .292 from 3pt range
Maybe he needs to stop.
DRose01 - January 9, 2012 via Android app
Yes, I would love that!
He’s money from that elbow as well
KCinIL - January 9, 2012
You're right, he could use a few less threes a game.
dakoose - January 9, 2012
I'll take all those missed 3s from Deng and Rose
over long 2s from Boozer and Brewer. Long 2s aren’t playoff shots either.
JockstrapNoah - January 9, 2012
It's not either or.
Instead of those threes, how about more layups and free throw attempts from Derrick?
dakoose - January 9, 2012
Its early in the season.
He’s shot the Bulls into a couple games with those 3s. He has to learn to make them to reach his full potential. He should keep taking them.
JockstrapNoah - January 9, 2012
I disagree.
I wouldn’t have much of an issue if he took three per game, but five????
dakoose - January 9, 2012
You're arguing about this from an efficiency standpoint.
But looking at the Bulls starting lineup, where is the threat of a 3 supposed to come from? Deng and Rose. That’s it. They’re both shooting poorly, but if you’re just looking for the starting lineup to shoot long 2s and drive, well the defense can just pack the paint, right?
JockstrapNoah - January 9, 2012
Shooting threes only opens things up when you're actually hitting them.
I never see guys closing out hard on Derrick 3pters, do you? It’s not like his huge amount of attempts is causing the defense to step out on him. They beg him to shoot that shot.
dakoose - January 9, 2012
And that's why he needs to hit it.
I agree with you on that. I just disagree that it’s a big deal at this point of the season. The Bulls win, and they’ll keep winning. Let him shoot those. He needs to hit them to beat miami. He needs to learn to hit them.
JockstrapNoah - January 9, 2012
It's as simple as that
Every team should take nothing but layups. Why can’t they figure that out?
runningman - January 9, 2012
Simply brilliant.
How about this: The guys that are good at threes should take a lot of them. The guys who are OK should take a few. And the guys that don’t make threes shouldn’t take any.
Makes sense?
dakoose - January 9, 2012
So basically no one but Korver should take 3s?
What about when he was missing them earlier in the year? Should he have stopped?
It’s an impossibility to get to the rim every time or even most of the time. Those other shots are going to be midrange jumpers or 3s. You can’t take every shot at the rim, so players are going to take those other shots and it’s because they’re stupid. It’s because a wide open jumper is often a smarter shot than driving blindly into traffic.
runningman - January 9, 2012
I remembered when the Deng haters hated that lol
When he wouldn’t take a step back for the 3 lol
T.Moore - January 9, 2012
wasn't able to watch until now...
how was the first half?
also i’ve heard someone uploads bulls games/highlights online…anyone know where I could find such a thing??
shutupdrogba - January 9, 2012
holy shit that was fast
Matt Hoogland - January 9, 2012
And easy.
He should be doing that all.night.long.
dakoose - January 9, 2012
they are empty up front, he really can, any time...
Matt Hoogland - January 9, 2012
Damn Rose you can be doing that all day, baby!
MCREW - January 9, 2012
lol why does Ben keep fouling Jo
windycitywarrior - January 9, 2012
Thats it Rose get in a good rythem by shooting closer to basket!
MCREW - January 9, 2012
I really wish Lu's 3's were falling this season more often.
Matt Hoogland - January 9, 2012
SPRITE!
KCinIL - January 9, 2012
And we let em back in it
Sounds about right
KCinIL - January 9, 2012
You don't live by the three........
and the Bulls are heaving them up there.
dakoose - January 9, 2012
Pretty crappy 3rd quarter D.
Time for the bench mob to clean that up.
Dr. Handsome, D.D.S. - January 9, 2012
maxille... lol
wasnt there some gay ass best dunker list last year that put him 1st place best nba dunker?
Matt Hoogland - January 9, 2012
Lu Wolding is not helping his All Star case
paddyfairview - January 9, 2012
Man I hope we the Bulls aren't the one who blemishes the Wiz record.
Wake - January 9, 2012
Anything can happen
But Wall been sucking ass this year
T.Moore - January 9, 2012
Yeah. There were a couple of people saying he was going to take over this year
but he can’t run that team.
Wake - January 9, 2012
he's too raw of a pg
even more raw than rose when he was a pg.
Geo4MVP - January 9, 2012
Nice Lu
T.Moore - January 9, 2012
There you go Lou
Make some stops put this team to bed!
KCinIL - January 9, 2012
Jo is a spaz
Matt Hoogland - January 9, 2012
Nice Drose!
MCREW - January 9, 2012
Lu bringin the Dung
Bin Bin - January 9, 2012
Ben Wallace fail
Dr. Handsome, D.D.S. - January 9, 2012
Yeah, why foul a guy who can't score?
dakoose - January 9, 2012
FYI,
DRose is 5-8 on non-three point attempts, and has also picked up 5 free throw attempts driving to the rim. That’s efficiency!
dakoose - January 9, 2012
Gotta put em away boys!
KCinIL - January 9, 2012
We should be up 20
Booz , close this shit out the first 5 mins of the 4th. I wanna see Scal and the rookie runnin a pick n roll..
Matt Hoogland - January 9, 2012
Knicks bench has 3 points.
And they look like they want to lose to Charlotte at home.
Dr. Handsome, D.D.S. - January 9, 2012
hahahahah! aweosme, i jus love it when the knicks suck
overrated piece of crap franchise
Geo4MVP - January 9, 2012
MJ is still fucking the Knicks
Brigade17 - January 9, 2012
Look at Kyle with that lockdown D
KCinIL - January 9, 2012
Jeesus
Kyle looked like a pro defender
windycitywarrior - January 9, 2012
Lockdown
Matt Hoogland - January 9, 2012
God bless Thibs
KCinIL - January 9, 2012
i hate that shot from taj.
does he ever hit that? ever?
Jaina - January 9, 2012
Kyle always gives effort, which is as much as you can ask for.
dakoose - January 9, 2012
korver is showing hes more than jus socring
lovin it
Geo4MVP - January 9, 2012
Korver playing good D tonight
nice block
MCREW - January 9, 2012
Sorry Ben
Matt Hoogland - January 9, 2012
Ben must cry himself to sleep at night
KCinIL - January 9, 2012
Yeah true
But honestly he was one of the best clutch shooters in the league and the Bulls could still use a guy like that. He deserves better than to waste away in Detroit. I can still see him going somewhere late in his career and getting a ring.
Dils - January 9, 2012
Yeah he does
Did he choose the contract over us? Or we just didn’t sign em?
KCinIL - January 9, 2012
A mixture of both
Dils - January 9, 2012
I need to see more Derrick with Omer
because Derrick’s pick n roll partner is too frequently Boozer who NEVER rolls. He just wants to pick n pop… which is nice, but at least Omer always rolls to the basket.
Dr. Handsome, D.D.S. - January 9, 2012
either are better than Jo
unless Jo passes to a cutter…
Matt Hoogland - January 9, 2012
He never picks, either.
dakoose - January 9, 2012
So he just stands there and yells????
Gimme dat!
Dr. Handsome, D.D.S. - January 9, 2012
Kyle lookin like pippen on the wing
Matt Hoogland - January 9, 2012
22 in a quarter?
is Funk right?
Matt Hoogland - January 9, 2012
Could be
BG went OFF some nights for us
KCinIL - January 9, 2012
Taj's J is broke as fuck.
dakoose - January 9, 2012
Hard hat and luch pail!
Layin bricks all day long
windycitywarrior - January 9, 2012
rofl.
dakoose - January 9, 2012
Taj has missed 996757456 open jumpers on the baseline this season
Matt Hoogland - January 9, 2012
And that is why Taj succeeds.
Wake - January 9, 2012
He's got to be completely set and wide open to have a good shot out there.
runningman - January 9, 2012
why does jl3 look good
it confuses me
dp8292 - January 9, 2012
it IS the pistons... ;)
Jaina - January 9, 2012
I think Gordons trying to play his way off this team
Put that dude on a contender
KCinIL - January 9, 2012
Put Jimmy in!
Wake - January 9, 2012
this
Matt Hoogland - January 9, 2012
How the hell does Monroe keep having the quiet great games??
Dude is messing around with a triple double!
Dils - January 9, 2012
Ice Cube would be proud
KCinIL - January 9, 2012
LOL
Matt Hoogland - January 9, 2012
He's pretty good
Really quietly, he had a great second half last year. Pretty much the only good thing Dumars has done in a long time. In retrospect, I’d take him above Cousins or Favors.
runningman - January 9, 2012
only if you think cousins is crazy
cause he’s got a way higher upside
paddyfairview - January 9, 2012
3/15? ew
Jaina - January 9, 2012
nice pass
they throw away like 5 a game like that
Matt Hoogland - January 9, 2012
Just rest Drose
Bench mob and scrub is doing fine
trig - January 9, 2012
Rose done messed around and became a PG
Hope guys like Hollinger are happy now.
Dils - January 9, 2012
Well, I'm definitely not happy.
And to those that are, he’s only picked up a half assist per game. It seems like more but he isn’t really distributing that much better.
dakoose - January 9, 2012
You'd be better off complaining about his turnovers.
JockstrapNoah - January 9, 2012
three is probly qbout as good as its ever gonna get
paddyfairview - January 9, 2012
I don't mind turnover so much, so as long as he's aggressive.
dakoose - January 9, 2012
Prince getting pippened by Korver
trig - January 9, 2012
terribul
windycitywarrior - January 9, 2012
Marshon Brooks 19pts, 10 rebs, 2 ast
Screw Rip. We passed on the best SG in the draft. And no I’m not over it.
Dils - January 9, 2012
like this FO was ever gonna draft a gunner whose light on D
paddyfairview - January 9, 2012
Yeah but at least he's playing
Instead of Rip or Mitrioc
Dils - January 9, 2012
A lot of other players could get 19 points
If you put them on a bad team and let them shoot all they want. it’s not like he’d be getting the minutes or shots on this team.
runningman - January 9, 2012
Nah that's not the case
I’ve watched his games. He took 14 shots tonight. He’s not a gunner. And even if he doesn’t get the minutes now, why not draft a position of need for the future? No matter what you’re still going to need a SG in the future. I don’t get it
Dils - January 9, 2012
If that's a position of need for the future
You can draft a SG in the future. It’s not like Marshon is a 1 in a million player.
runningman - January 9, 2012
Whatever refs you guys are too funny
MCREW - January 9, 2012
Oh he missed it so I'll call a foul
The refs this year are fuckin terrible
KCinIL - January 9, 2012
signature dribble off his own foot move
trig - January 9, 2012
NICE
Now get them out!
KCinIL - January 9, 2012
It's time
Matt Hoogland - January 9, 2012
What do you get when you get bit by the White Momba?
A Ginger Snap! hyuck hyuck hyuck
windycitywarrior - January 9, 2012
Yeah Drose! With the hammer!
MCREW - January 9, 2012
LOL
that wasn’t a dunk
windycitywarrior - January 9, 2012
Rose forgot how to dunk. lol
Dils - January 9, 2012
Lol, DRose almost missed that, jumped too far out.
Still sweet, though.
dakoose - January 9, 2012
D Rose !!!!!!!!
Take that Dakoose !!!!!
dsenchi - January 9, 2012
lol derrick almost whiffed on that one
dp8292 - January 9, 2012
lol… Rose was almost too far away from the rim
k21c - January 9, 2012
LOL Rose....he Smiling after that.
RED_BULL - January 9, 2012
hows that for efficiency, 22 pts and 8 assists
Geo4MVP - January 9, 2012
Solid game, overall.
The threes were a bit annoying, but he got going to the hoop and salvaged some solid numbers.
dakoose - January 9, 2012
i hear ya man, the threes can be bad sometimes
however, i think he needs to hit the three ball well against the heat. He wont be able to drive in all night long against a defensive juggernaut team like the heat.
Geo4MVP - January 9, 2012
50% from the floor, good stuff
paddyfairview - January 9, 2012
Scalabrenie and Butler
Put em in!
KCinIL - January 9, 2012
thought that was JL3 trying to dunk
Matt Hoogland - January 9, 2012
22 and 8 for Rose
20 and 8 for Boozer. Good solid win, lets do the same against Minnesota. Excited to see Rubio vs. Rose
Basketball Smurf - January 9, 2012
Love v Boozer too
Surprised Rubio isn’t starting yet
KCinIL - January 9, 2012
He's getting more and more minutes
Derrick Williams needs to start too.
runningman - January 9, 2012
Still trips me out
Darko was ahead of Melo, Wade, etc. lol
KCinIL - January 9, 2012
Noah will probably be matched up with Love to begin with
Basketball Smurf - January 9, 2012
You don't want Boozer defending anybody at the 3 point line
runningman - January 9, 2012
Rubio's basketball IQ is out of this world
MCREW - January 9, 2012
might be time to start pulling the starters
And yes I realize the game is 48 minutes but its time to rest the main guys until minny
dsenchi - January 9, 2012
1 of 3 in a row Thibs
Don’t be stupid
Dils - January 9, 2012
Why are the starters out there?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
dakoose - January 9, 2012
interesting that deng isn't out there for once
good to see the dude getting some rest…
Jaina - January 9, 2012
Ben has been shit
Matt Hoogland - January 9, 2012
The fans got the chant goin!
KCinIL - January 9, 2012
We're up 20 with 4 to go. We've got two more games in two more games.
Sit the fuckin starters, Thibs. C’mon.
CowBearsFan - January 9, 2012
two more games in two more days *
dsenchi - January 9, 2012
4 in 5 too
KCinIL - January 9, 2012
I meant what I said lol.
Good lookin out.
CowBearsFan - January 9, 2012
AND 1!!
Matt Hoogland - January 9, 2012
there ya go.
an early exit for Rose.
JockstrapNoah - January 9, 2012
Late ass calls lol
KCinIL - January 9, 2012
at least deng is being rested
Geo4MVP - January 9, 2012
and there goes noah
Geo4MVP - January 9, 2012
No! No!
Deng MUST play 39 minutes! His body depends on it!
Dr. Handsome, D.D.S. - January 9, 2012
Thibs will have to do sprints after the game to compensate
MilkThenClear - January 9, 2012
i gotta hunch....butler comin in.
Geo4MVP - January 9, 2012
Boozer? Defense? What...
Wake - January 9, 2012
That crappy 3rd quarter D is being made up for.
Only 3 points for Detroit right now in the 4th.
Dr. Handsome, D.D.S. - January 9, 2012
how bout brewer 6-9. nice
paddyfairview - January 9, 2012
Tayshawn must be a beast of a defender
either that or they are a bad matchup for Deng.
dsenchi - January 9, 2012
Two bad games in a row for Deng
after he was so consistent earlier.
runningman - January 9, 2012
play butler!
Matt Hoogland - January 9, 2012
Boozer trying to average a block per game this year
runningman - January 9, 2012
did see boozer jump on defense????
trig - January 9, 2012
Yikes, the Pistons are last in NBA attendance and its not even close.
They’re averaging 12,037 in their first 5 home games. The fans have already given up.
rinconen - January 9, 2012
fuck them and their team
Geo4MVP - January 9, 2012
and it's skewed because they had a reported like 22k
for their opener lol
Jaina - January 9, 2012
I know. I wouldn't have guessed it would be that bad.
The Cavs averaged 11,496 the year before they drafted Lebron. Let’s see if they can break that.
rinconen - January 9, 2012
Loyal fans my ass
Fuck Detroit.
dsenchi - January 9, 2012
lol Taj
At least he didn’t shoot a jumper!
windycitywarrior - January 9, 2012
For all the complaints, Rose shot 50% from the floor
and was perfect from the line.
Dils - January 9, 2012
He had a strong 4th quarter.
dakoose - January 9, 2012
I want my MVP perfect!
KCinIL - January 9, 2012
Rose was able to shoot 50% by driving more and shooting closer to the basket
Rose should not depend on off the dribble 3’s as good offense for him
MCREW - January 9, 2012
But he shouldn't stop taking them only 10 games into the season.
He doesn’t work on them all off season to just abandon it. If he’s shooting like this a month or so from now then maybe it’s time to change up. It also doesn’t hurt to use it against the lowly Pistons.
Dr. Handsome, D.D.S. - January 9, 2012
No Jimmy?
Dils - January 9, 2012
Scal's more important
windycitywarrior - January 9, 2012
HERE HE COMES
Protocol - January 9, 2012
The people have spoken.
rinconen - January 9, 2012
idc get the bitching bout rose, but w.e
hes gonna improve alot mroe guys, chill, hes not even in midseason form yet, lol
Geo4MVP - January 9, 2012
I hate this white boy mascot shit
Dils - January 9, 2012
I know its getting old
dsenchi - January 9, 2012
I'm with ya.
JockstrapNoah - January 9, 2012
THE WHITE MAMBA
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
CowBearsFan - January 9, 2012
look, told u guys
here comes butler!!!
Geo4MVP - January 9, 2012
lol I thought Luc Longley was so famous
trig - January 9, 2012
loudest cheer of the night..
Matt Hoogland - January 9, 2012
it's embarrassing
SAVE FERRIS - January 9, 2012
it is
Matt Hoogland - January 9, 2012
comes on butler, lets make thibs proud!
Geo4MVP - January 9, 2012
For a fat boy,
Maxiell can get up.
dakoose - January 9, 2012
Fuck I thought Obama was put on the screen or something
It was just the mamba. The crowd almost blew out my speakers.
runningman - January 9, 2012
lol!!!
Dils - January 9, 2012
Aww c'mon pounce mamba!
Wake - January 9, 2012
You cant shoot over the turkish flag
trig - January 9, 2012
Air it out Scal!
Matt Hoogland - January 9, 2012
When he retires/no one signs him, Scal should be our Jack Nicholson sitting courtside.
rinconen - January 9, 2012
did you see Jason Williams (white chocolate) sitting courtside for the Magic?
apparently he has season tickets
Basketball Smurf - January 9, 2012
I missed that one.
rinconen - January 9, 2012
Is JLIII giving anyone any pause about whether or not CJ should keep his spot?
Basketball Smurf - January 9, 2012
Maybe if this was the knicks or celtics.
but its the pistons.
JockstrapNoah - January 9, 2012
I wouldn't mind.
The bench mob’s been damn good with him and he’s been scoring pretty well. I’m not high on CJ so it’s a move I’d consider.
dakoose - January 9, 2012
No, because of defense
runningman - January 9, 2012
Not me.
What he’s been doing is all good and well, but against better teams his lack of size will be exploited the second he comes in the game. Even if CJ has an off shooting night, I still love his defense.
Dr. Handsome, D.D.S. - January 9, 2012
Yeah, he's fine against bad teams
But against good teams, he’s a liability
runningman - January 9, 2012
hes too undersized esp on D
that wont sit well against teams like the heat
Geo4MVP - January 9, 2012
Didn't JJ Barea do a decent job as l little guy?
And help win a championship?
bobslob - January 9, 2012
I'm not crazy about his court vision. He missed lots of passes today.
rinconen - January 9, 2012
I see Ben Gordon on the Celtics this year
Don’t know where it came from , but I see it
KCinIL - January 9, 2012
that wouldn't be a bad pickup for them
but he makes too much
Basketball Smurf - January 9, 2012
I do too
they need depth and athleticism in the worst way.
dsenchi - January 9, 2012
White Mamba should join TNT crew after he retires
trig - January 9, 2012
butler!!!
Geo4MVP - January 9, 2012
Once Scal hits it
Riots will ensue at the Madhouse
KCinIL - January 9, 2012
Ha
And there it is!
KCinIL - January 9, 2012
THE CROWD IS GOING WILD!!!
rinconen - January 9, 2012
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Protocol - January 9, 2012
what a joke
windycitywarrior - January 9, 2012
scal to butler!
nice
Matt Hoogland - January 9, 2012
DO NOT DOUBT THE WHITE MAMBA'S PASSING ABILITY!
CowBearsFan - January 9, 2012
1-0 when Scal scores.
rinconen - January 9, 2012
who needs Tmac when you have the best point forward
trig - January 9, 2012
dude last time he was in
he was openly toying with the crowd refusing to shoot. i thought it was hilarious.
Jaina - January 9, 2012
I was at the Grizzlies game. By far the earliest Scal chants. And people were livid with every passed up shot.
rinconen - January 9, 2012
ya that was awesome
he’s gotta keep doing that
Matt Hoogland - January 9, 2012
Thibs told him don't that again
SAVE FERRIS - January 9, 2012
Scal has overshadowed Boozer's performance.
Wake - January 9, 2012
Wasn't he supposedly tearing it up overseas?
Scal?
KCinIL - January 9, 2012
I think every NBA player tore it up oversees.
rinconen - January 9, 2012
True
KCinIL - January 9, 2012
Wilson Chandler's scoring like 50 ppg over there.
Its nutz.
dakoose - January 9, 2012
Jimmy Butler is shooting 83% from the field and 100% from the line.
He’s my All-Star write in vote.
Dr. Handsome, D.D.S. - January 9, 2012
look at his PER!!!
Geo4MVP - January 9, 2012
OMG his TS%!!!
Dr. Handsome, D.D.S. - January 9, 2012
hahahhaha
Matt Hoogland - January 9, 2012
Agreed
Dils - January 9, 2012
Agreed except for where he feels bad for scal
is if Scal was some thin skinned non-millionaire.
JockstrapNoah - January 9, 2012
he milks it
Basketball Smurf - January 9, 2012
lol, of course he loves it
Geo4MVP - January 9, 2012
How does he milk it?
He can’t do anything about it. In interviews he’s pretty clear that he’s not a fan.
runningman - January 9, 2012
BS. Would he rather be a totally irrelevant player like Pargo?
rinconen - January 9, 2012
Right
McGraw needs to get the stick outta his ass
KCinIL - January 9, 2012
BTW, my buddy who went to the Sixth Man Jam this year says TONS of people were asking for Scal's autograph. I'm sure that makes him feel real sad. LOL.
rinconen - January 9, 2012
I'd be fuckin jacked I know that!
KCinIL - January 9, 2012
That 2pts and 1 assist by Scal was a Double Double.
RED_BULL - January 9, 2012
lmao
Geo4MVP - January 9, 2012
nice... they scored 9 pts in that quarter.
Jaina - January 9, 2012
Solid win.
Booz stepped up.
D was great.
I wanna see Rubio vs. Rose
Matt Hoogland - January 9, 2012
rubio is gonna get a dose of D Rose killin
welcome to the NBA Rubio!
Geo4MVP - January 9, 2012
Derrick is gonna blow by him, but I loves me some nifty passing!
Matt Hoogland - January 9, 2012
Tomorrow seems like a trap game to me.
rinconen - January 9, 2012
they will do w/e they can do double team rose and piss him off
however, im expecting deng to go wild on them.
Geo4MVP - January 9, 2012
against beasley's lockdown defense? you must be joking
paddyfairview - January 9, 2012
beasley? im talking bout their guards double teaming him
and then the refs will compelte dumbfucks for not callin fouls on them
Geo4MVP - January 9, 2012
i was talking about deng. and i was kidding
paddyfairview - January 9, 2012
yeah middle game, "easy" opponent.
paddyfairview - January 9, 2012
Lu is rested.. i hope
Matt Hoogland - January 9, 2012
No one will want to hear this, but Derrick is probably going to struggle a bit on D
against Rubio. Fortunately, neither Ridnour nor Rubio can handle Rose’s offense.
Dr. Handsome, D.D.S. - January 9, 2012
In theory, it should be open season for DRose.
Rubio, Barea and Ridnour are all weak and a frontline of LOve/Milicic ain’t gnna stop him.
