Chicago Bulls Thread

[Andrew]

Yeah, out of those players, I'd have to go with Barnes.

[air gordon]

these are the chicago bulls. impressive win road win against the cavs followed up by a home loss to a miami heat team missing 2 starters

[Andrew]

And injury problems for Derrick Rose. It's certainly a familiar tale!

[air gordon]

It would be nice for them to pick up a pg instead of Brooks being the last man standing.

Tyler Johnson's drive for a dunk on brooks was just too easy

[air gordon]

finally a convincing win... we could take a step back from the ledge... for now

Gasol's skills on full display. normally that back door lob to buckets works once or twice a game... not the 10 times like yesterday LOL

Moore didn't produce but i'd like to see him remain with the starrters

[Andrew]

Rose had a couple of nice passes too: that lob to Butler, and the behind the back dish to Moore. Even though the game was well in hand, I was glad Moore was able to finish that. You've gotta get the finish after a pass like that!

[air gordon]

Yeah gotta make sure Allen iverson, err I mean, Derrick Rose gets those assists

[Andrew]

Mwanwhile, Rose has raised his field goal percentage about 40%, and is shooting 46% through January. Admittedly setting the bar low for any kind of celebration, but a welcome change nevertheless.

[air gordon]

best month since the injuries this improved version of Rose is a more first score type than previous incarnates. interesting challenge for Hoiberg to incorporate both Butler and Rose into his preferred free flowing offense.

premature bow by Rose last nite. wtf what that. memories of Reggie Miller doing the same back in the 90's to the bulls. Butler woke up in the 3rd but it was Hayward who got the best of the matchup. Now that Favors is back- the Jazz are a tough opponent

[Andrew]

On the bright side, at least he didn't "Nick Young" a missed attempt. But yeah, heroics for naught, with that overtime performance.

[Moz]

I'll save my rants till after the trade deadline k tnx bi....

[Andrew]

Bulls announce that they've recalled Mike Dunleavy from D-League

No timetable for his regular season debut has been announced, but it would seem it's getting closer.

[air gordon]

Was bracing for the worst when butler was reported as out

Ugly wins are the Bulls forte so no complaints here. E Moore needs to stay in the lineup (jinx alert)

[Andrew]

Dunleavy is reportedly set to make his season debut on Saturday. Hopefully Butler isn't out too long, but fine performance by Moore.

[Andrew]

Bad loss giving up all those fourth quarter points, but Rose flirted with a triple-double. Most significantly, looks like Butler has a knee injury.

[Andrew]

Another embarrassing loss, this time to the Timberwolves. No timetable for Butler's return.

[air gordon]

Jimmy Buckets out 3-4 weeks.

stick a fork in making the playoffs. no playoffs = no playoff revenue for Reinsdorf' and the ownership he represents. there is actually pressure on the management to do something now

[Andrew]

Looks like Gasol will replace Jimmy at the All-Star game.

[air gordon]

Congrats to the Spanaird

ICYMI: @WindhorstESPN told us re-signing Pau is a #Bulls priority. And to a contract that could be worth worth 20mil a yr. He floored me.

[Andrew]

So does that mean the new salary cap's going to be $150 million?

[air gordon]

Niko out indefinitely

[Andrew]

Multiple players out with injury. It's become a familiar tale.

[air gordon]

i'm interested to hear your opinion as to why the bulls are bad... even before Butler's injury
