MIKE JAMES, BITCH!

And no, that joke will never get old.

Ever.

The recap photo must have his photo and that caption
im havin FUN watching this now.

mike james!!

Same. This game went from shit to awesome faster than you can say MIKEMOTHERFUCKINJAMES.
oh man what a swing
When the Bulls play like this.....

….nobody is gonna beat them , and it surely won’t be the C’s!

most agressive sequence by Boozer

Since he’s been a bull

Has he turned the corner?
Boozer must've gotten some good poonani last night
Thats a kind of flatbread, right?
russel peters

is that you

Oh now everybody wanna come join the party.

Was dead here earlier.

I only got off work 1 hour ago
Ainge is probably thinking about some trades now. C's are looking old out there. Good D by Bulls
The problem for the C's is who is gonna give them something for their aging stars?
Allen can still run off screens and hit shots and could help a team...

KG can still help a team (defense, can hit the jumpers) in more of an off the bench capacity. Pierce would be the last to go, but he can still create his shot and plays decent D. There is value but it is fading

Allen fits well cause he has value and his salary isn't the highest.

IIRC KG’s contract is difficult to find a good match.

It seems that we're going to see the good Boozer today
he could lay an egg this half
True
While he's here, Mike James should teach Rose how to run a pick and roll.

Maybe they’d be willing to run the Rose/Boozer pick and roll more often.

Nah

James should be on the team backing up Rose to run PnR himself.

Looks like Rondo felt Mike James in 1 post up play

didn’t bother posting up Uncle James after that
Its tough posting up old people lol

mike james was trash talking the whole time

it was fucking awesome, i imagine he was saying
MJ-“you know who i am son”
rondo “shut up and let me back you down”
MJ- “im mike james”
rondo struggling “who”
Mj- “Im mike james bitch!!!”

Calling it now

Mike > LeBron

James > Cj

Maybe?

first half thoughts

-Refs are terrible
-Cj is looking too much for his shot, and hes missing some good passes due to that
-The bulls werent running enough offense through boozer and deng, they rectified that in the end of the 2nd quarter
-Cj was taking a lot of shots, but he was also letting rondo get a lot of shots
-Refs are TERRIBLE!
-Mike James, who…MIke ja….the guy we cut dammit…..for jl3!!!! what the hell were we thinking
-Jl3 has one good attribute that i like, his ability to explode with the ball around corners on screens, too bad its downhill from that point on in terms of his offense
-Mike james was running simplistic pick and roll with boozer, might have been what boozer needs….
-Mike james best attribute in this game though….talking trash to rondo while guarding him, rondos a mental midget on offense, and you can see it take a toll
-Korver should start instead of brewer until rose comes back, starting 5 need better offense, and bench, well its not that deep but brewer compliments jl3 a bit or something….
-REFS FUCKING SUCK!!!!!!
-Noah is playing tough, deng is playing tough….we wouldve had a bigger hole if not for those two
-BOOZER…utah jazz like boozer…liking his play, keep him and mike james doing that pick and roll, its working…some of his passes were nice, hes contesting shots, he looks good right now…..

finally

THE REFS ARE GUTLESS BLIND AND DEAF MORONS WHO FUCKING SUCK!!!!!

also boston sucks so hard

ugggk
Amazing

Ronnie Brewer contributes

1 Assist
0 Rebounds
0 points
1 Block

And is +14

actually

0 blocks

might as well change his last name to Collins
athletic bogans does it again
6 point cheat code activated!!!
first he needs to get to 6
or 1

1 would be a good start

man, don't say that...

you’ll jinx him. It is a slump. Everyone has them.

how we look ya'll?

Just put it on and herd shaq mumbke something about 10 turnovers…could have been talking about apple turnovers tho..couldn’t understand him

so does shaq just read his parts every night?

dude can’t even look at the camera for more than 2 seconds

Silly Rabbit

Shaq can’t read

pictograms?
something other than intelligent basketball conversation

how hard can that be when you played your whole life

nets down 3 with 22sec left
Damn

Lebron ain’t got a forehead he’s got a five-head

I gotta remember that one.
lebron moving like a crackhead

Just sayin…

little excited there and not in a nervous way
Last week's show on TNT was the funniest

I’ve ever seen talking about Lebron

got to admit he is a good sport
Yeah, its pretty disappointing

I used to love watching Lebron. The dancing used to bug me, but once the Decision and “not 1, not 2” he’s intolerable.

Unfortunately a lot of people didn't watch the show

after finding out they were going to interview Lebron.

Thanks alot Kobe....

….i’ve had it with focking gay commercials…smh

I would flag this but I'm on SB Mobile

So hopefully someone else does.

He was actually refering to the anti-gay commercials that keep running

after Kobe was caught on national television using the word ‘faggot’.

That's fine - doesn't read that way though.
Thanks for keeping up....

….how much longer do we have to endure it I wonder?

For the next few years, probably.
Shaq trying to be a snob...

…just doesn’t seem to work

what did jalen say about shaq?
He asked whether shaq would be able to close his suit jacket
that is pretty funny

and true

that hes no mike james
damn, why couldn't the bulls have looked this alive on sunday

oh wait… mike james….

WHO??!?!?!
Miami has 2 scrubs in the 3pts contest

and guys like Korver, Ray Allen, Curry gets snubbed?

Bulls with 13 assists

on 15 made FGs.

All about the rebounds
Sad state of the Celtics

“Do I leave Jermaine O’neal in with 4 fouls.”

Rondo shooting long jumpers, not good for C's
Rondo's op-

clank

Rondo shooting. Not good for C's.
Rondo is surrounded by good shooters

they most likely have shooting coach in there yet he didn’t bother improving his jumpshot

C's have no inside threat though, everything perimeter. Bulls locking down the D

Hell, there best post player is Rondo if Mike James is not in there

great ball movement
Oh shit Boozer is a mother fucker tonight!
It would be so great for Boozer's confidence and future hustle

if he gets a triple double tonight.

Damn didnt realize it but yeah he's pacing for the tripple double
Just unselfish basketball right there
Another Boozer dunk....

This isn’t Heaven, it’s Chicago.

Do you know who this kid he's?

He’s got weird hair…
He yells alot
His kids hate him
He’s Carlos Boozer, Wooooo!!!!!

to weird, to loud, to hated, to boozer.
Luol Deng is about to have back to back 10+ assist games.

Oh, and the sky is falling right now…

What a play, and Booz dunked!
Passing!

Damn that was nice.

The Celts suck

but the Bulls are still doing a really good job

And this backhanded compliment of the week is sponsored by Bradfather
it's Titan Turd again
I'm very offended by your five-year-old insults.

:(

they are at almost full strength and we are without our MVP and Rip...

lets hope we can continue this onslaught without them till the all star berak (knock on wood)

if the Celts are near full strength

that does nothing to diminish my comment, Chicago is that good even when they’re not all healthy

my point wasnt about the celtics dude, it was bout the bulls...

jus think how scary good we can be at full strength…

imagine the possibilities

just so long as the Cheat don’t win

we may have to worry about another team

the fuckin knicks got JR Smith…

i like what im seeing from Booz

this is the best game I have seen Booz play all year long.

maybe Thibs secretly added 5hr energy drink on Boozer's gatorade
Boston in back 2 backs is ugly. Th ey might not break 70
Man, Booz and Deng are both threatening triple double...
NBA, stop flashing words in my face on your headache-inducing commercials!
The words ruin the Dirk one.
anyone worried about when rose comes back ...

if it ruin the ball movement? muhahaha

Rose is going to get his points regardless

Its when he’s on the bench (or guarded by Lebron) that we need the ball movement to continue

Excited to watch the Knicks first game with Melo back though.
Jamesanity, he will just have to fit in
yes! that was the parallel i was going for!

thank god drose is a scoring point guard who can pass and not melo, aka scoring small forward who can’t

yeah, get back soon Melo and fuck up everything for the Knicks with your iso's. Please please, you are the man!
you know, i find it interesting

in both the celtics and bulls NBA BIG commercials… they are playing the heat…

And in the Heat's NBA BIG commercial, they're playing the Bulls..
i haven't seen the heat one
so loul basically became magic johnson this week
Pierce with the flop
i love deng playing almost like a point forward

He can borderline create a shot cause he’s not very fast, but he can put pressure on the defense. It opens up a lot of passing opportunities and he’s figuring that out.

Gotta keep going Jo!
Reggie Miller

Can his hating be more blatant?

Noah hitting his jumper now WOW!
and the guns come out
Tornadooooooooooo
NOAH! The Cowbow dance!
Reggie Miller is awful - he has some skeletons in his closet
even if he didn't

he’d still be terrible on TV

he sucks at every aspect of commentating
Next time the Bulls play @ the Knicks I want Luol to go on a three point shooting display.

Mike Breen with the call – Deng! Banggggg!

LOL

Would be funny!

Why is Garnett strutting like a pimp

it’s a 12-point spread wanna-be gangsta

Nah, he's just old. That's his injured hip.
OK, I'll take your word for it
He's got a 5 year plan.

What is it, don’t die?

this will help against heat ...

we still don’t really have another guy that can create his own shot other than drose, but if we can move the ball as a team like this, we can exploit heat defense

Fucking CJ Westbrook with the jack
bad shot by CJ there
is boozer jumping higher?
its probly the hair
Is Boozer jumping?

Corrected.

Ronnie Brewer

Why can’t he finish anymore?

how many layups can brewer miss???
begging Rondo to shoot, he make it though

Brewer miss more dunks and lay ups

No Rondo headband?
He stopped wearing it a long time ago after they wouldn't let him wear it upside down anymore.
Nice!

I always thought that was rather douchy of him

Brewer's got chronic "can't finish syndrome"
Pierce not getting calls? am i dreaming?
Lucky ass fucking tip
Bulls starting to chuck a little there
Get Mike James back in
If Brewer going to play like this then sit his ass down and bring in Butler WTF
reggie, last time i checked

54-45 was 9 points, not 11.

counting is harder than shooting threes
The irony of Reggie Miller doing so many....

….Bulls games isn’t lost on me…maybe they felt Steve Kerr would be too biased?

I want to see Jimmy some minutes

a good defender with better offense than current Brewer

Boozer inside was working--pass or shot
KG offensive foul

followed by over the back

does anyone else

crush on the “car” in the FITA commercial, Romanian women are sexy in every way, can hardly wait for Olympic gymnastics coverage

those girls are like 14

and 4’11

Thats not Italian she's speaking?

What my closed captioning says anyway. Romanian Olympic “women” are like 15, no?

It is Italian

but she is Romanian, I know Italian when I hear it, I’m only the third generation removed in the family tree from fully-blooded Italians.

Not a good stretch there. When the offense gets like that, you need DRose around.
Hey, did you guys know the Big Bang Theory is on TBS???
Someone bust KG in the jaw

put in Scal

Why are we all 3's all of a sudden?
Oooo, good defense Booo...awww really?
Boozer plays no D, and still manages to get called for a foul??
Allen way off tonight
Boozer twists his ankle a little
they keep harping on the career lows for boozer

but his per minute stats are just fine.

Booz just came up hobbling

Maybe after all this hustle he realized how tired he is. He doesn’t want people to expect it all the time and needs a way out.

Stepped on Rivers' ankle

Not sure how…

it did not look serious I don't think
Joakim is playin better, doesn't want to be traded to ORL :D
nice pass there
I can never get over the fact that Jermaine O'neal looks like a 6'10" baby.

The headband just makes him look more like an infant

DId noah hurt his ankle too?
So frustrating.

Cant’ Noah dunk some of those putbacks? Please?

He could have if he came down first. Put it back up with one hand.
uh oh, Allen with a 3--shooters gonna shoot
Shit! Come on, now- can't let AARP back in this..
Bad D, again
Ball movement stopped

not surprised lead is down to 5

a lot of chucking

not a lot of shots at the basket

How does Noah miss a 1 foot tap?
Mike James?

Please?

Boozer to the rim, have not seen that in a while
well not in there
oh shit he is, there you go
rondo's outfit in that interview was ridiculous
Thibs neeeds to get cj and brewer out

And mike James and jimmy butler in

Ronnie's been out for awhile

Korver in.

I don't know what he run after TOs
nice patience by CJ
Over the back much
Yeah Carlos work inside baby!
Boozer taking over the paint
back to the formula that was working, Boozer in the paint
yikes dont let that man warm up
Nice help CJ

smh

Yeah- might wanna guard Ray
yeah, once he hits a few, don't give him space
Boozer forgot he can dunk....
Are you serious?
BOOZER DUNK THE FUCKIN BALL!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHAT THE FUCK, BOOZER!!!

SHIT!!

WTF?! BOOZ?!
woah Boozer, slam that man slam it
Cmon, Carlos WOW! All by your fucking self and blocked by the rim!
WTF

dunk you asshole. maybe his ankle?

although man korver sure saved that one.

Oh good lord....
nooooooooooooooooooooo
gouging my eyes out
tired but can't do that
Reggie is worse than Boozer
welcome to Shaqtin' a fool Mr Boozer
dunk the damn ball!
got
...no hops lol
lost 15lbs and apparently 15" to his vert
Ok Reggie...I'll remember that 2 points for the rest of the game.
shoutout to all the boozer fans on bab

We c yall

I come back from the crapper and WTF?!
that was four points the Bulls should have had
Korver shoot it
yeah he needed to shoot it there...
didn't hit the ball but hit the hand, the hand

and that is called what? yeah thats right, a foul

lol, right

my thoughts exactly

that was all ugly
Deng wanted the 3 there
damn good block whoever
No dunking on Deng, Garnett bitch
I still can't believe Boozer missed that. What an idiot.
instead of the mike james game im pretty sure this is now the blue balls game
it is

this game is such a terrible tease for everyone

That one layup will overshadow his otherwise good play

Boozer…why why why

CJ should have had him on that pass right before that also. Would have been an easy one
he tried to dunk, and at some point near the climax of his jump

he realized he only had a two inch verticle, the “quick” decision making to turn a dunk into a layup cost him

Again, bad 3rd quarter
Seriously tho Boozer

You’re 6’9". Dunk it.

Thibs needs to not play players entire quarters

Noah and Booze were on a tear buy they got tired at the end of that quarter.

seriously, these refs are the 3 blind mice
Ray Allen for Korver and CJ Watson
IM SO SICK OF NOAH MISSING TIPs

Catch the ball you asshat, on the Boozer missed layup

Not the best exhibition of basketball

I’ve seen…

UFC 3 looks awesome and I don't really watch that too much
deng with 8 assists

damn. i really like the role he’s taken the past couple games. really changes shit up. cj’s really struggling. hope mike james has another good stint! glad not to see lucas again lol.

shit, spoke too soon
Hope for 4th Quarter Magic
Nitty gritty time
Coach Thibs: make your layups
Whoa Kyle. Whoa
Lucas in=

We’re fucked

Been playin Metal Gear Solid 3 and I just saw that Wow Boozer is trending online.

Is this good or bad?

Does Boozer need nanomachines to help him jump??
Probably for the wrong reason

But has 19 and 12 with 5 dimes

WTF? Korver?
Asik brings that ball all the way down, bad habit
Zone breakers

Aren’t breaking shit

big shot by Deng
deng has not hit a 2 pointer tonight

hit 4 3s.

And we've needed every single 1 of em lol
DENG!
that shook off some seriously bad juju
Come on Bulls

blow their sorry butts out, you’ve indulged them for far too long

Rondo was trying to post up Carlton?

Fuck!!

Carlton sucks at basketball

I still remember the Fresh Prince episode when he stole the ball from Will to take the game-winning shot

Ha

The full court that was like 20 ft long lol

that was pretty funny!
Mike James in
Damnit Carlton!
James said eff it, im in, im shooting
MIK3 JAM3S BITCH
Bank?
I know I also thought Rondo banked the throw lol
Rondo banked the free throw.

I saw it too.

arg taj

and omer!!! ughhh

Godammit, WATCH THE CLOCK!!
shoot the fckng ball Taj
Asik... ugh
Shoot the fuckin ball!
Terrible matchup for Asik

He’s gotta sit

Thibs

“goddamnit shoot the fuckin ball”

Omer needs to be glued to the bench

wheres Pryzbilla?

If Kaman gets bought out, Bulls need to make a play

Heat already been rumored to be interested, and that would be bad fuckin news

Heat are interested in everyone though
Heat are rumored to be interesting in everyone
You're a Titans fan?
i dont think the hornets want to buy out his contract

just ho,d him out till the trading deadline. im sure a team can make a decent offer for him

They said they were trying

That’s why he wasn’t playin, but nobody was offering shit so they scraped it.

its too early to make trades...

just wait till after the break. Ill bet teams that are either borderline playoff or a team striving to make the playoffs for the first time will offer something.

Rondo went at James hard there, Rondo is the best post player for the C's atm
Taj and Omer are regressing as players

They look like rookies again.

Close the game with James-Korver-Deng-Booze-Noah let’s go

Asik looks like Judge Riehnold
Kyle can't defend Ray at all
lucky, but it counts
Taj picks a good time for his first points
D33333NG!
D3NG lives at the 3pt line
Deng looks gassed
man, Deng hit a tough shot there
Wilcox really hurting his team now
Rondo:This is my HOUSE! (made of bricks)
lol, that was a good example there
Deng Korver pick and pop

Do it.

Wow Korver finally shoots!
Wilcox meltdown

nice to see he’s adeptly filling Rasheed’s old role

Far out, D3NG is a 3 machine.

He was fouled tho

But they’ve missed many calls the Bulls way.

What a find James!!!!!!
he's more focused on ball movement than CJ and JL3
deng's first non-3pt make.
he's one assist from a double double again..
2 pointers are so overrated.
Korver with the monster line of 1-1-1!!!
Deng even getting surprised with Jamesanity bounce pass

Mr Deng getting used to playing with Lucas

pretty amazing what a pass first backup PG can do on this team

even if he is 36

Bulls PGs +/-

CJ= -6
Carlton= 0

MIKE JAMES= +16

another nice pass by Jamesanity
The crowd yelled Rondo suck
only one guy can stop old guy Mike James

the other old guy that flops
