Chicago Bulls Thread

Deng is probably playing too many minutes. He's absolutely justifying them (aside from against Detroit), but you have to wonder if it might take its toll in this compacted season.

He was one of the league leaders in minutes last season too, if I remember correctly. I can see him taking 30-35 minutes on the second game of a back-to-back instead of the usual 35-40 minutes, but other than that, he'll probably play the same minutes, unless there's a garbage-time fourth quarter.

Luol's taking 7-8 rebounds per game. I know it's still really early in the season, but that number is pretty promising.

Hey guys, the Lakers have "LakersNBAhighlights" to cover over 7-8 mins of HD youtube highlight videos as a game recap. The question is, does the Bulls or any Bulls fan care to upload 7-8mins of D.Rose HD videos of game recaps?

Ive searched around youtube, and even playlists and no one has done that. Only mixes. Its kinda cool to you return home and just be refreshed watching Rose's spectacular moves, especially if they make comebacks. Hope you guys can send me some link in youtube that I can subscribe to.

Thanks guys

Well i have spotted some guys in youtube. I can remember easily kietasss ,one who uploads videos of the best performances and highlight everyday. Ok,he is not going to upload each game D-Rose plays,but if he plays a solid game,I'm going to find it there. That's shy I subcribed him as well. (There are though soooo many guys that upload T-Mac highlights!! I couldn't even believe when I was founding so many channels with T-Mac games...)

Thanks George, Kietass Channel is in HD! Hope he adds more minutes to his vid, lol Im juz too fanatic

We were never to speak of him again. So it was decreed.

And true to the decree, his name will not be spoken. Still, I've danced the line enough on the matter, let's not go any further with it.

Well recommended, I'll have to subscribe myself.

Good win over the Magic. There were some sloppy stretches offensively, some times when they failed to get the basket despite three or four attempts but they got it going when it counted and on the whole, played a pretty good game. A couple of bad shots brought Rose's field goal percentage down but a good game for him, two rebounds shy of a triple double, a great block on Redick and a nice finish off the alley-oop from Deng. Speaking of Deng, another fine game from him and also Boozer once again. That's what I like to see.

Just like that, the Bulls are on a 6 game winning streak and tied for the first place in the league with the Heat. And I have a feeling this Bulls team will gradually get better as Boozer finds ways to be more consistent with his role.

This season again should offer another great battle between the Heat and the Bulls for the first place in the league, and possibly another great ECF.

Right now, it's certainly looking like it'll come down to those two.

Well...that was disappointing. Moving on...

Really disappointing loss for sure...
I'm a little scared with all those injuries in the PG/SG position. If Rose gets injured then what? Lucas in the starting PG spot??

Lucas scored 16 last night.

If Rose gets injured they're in a really tough spot, plain and simple. Let's not even go there.

Hamilton is supposedly close to returning (if not next game then soon), hopefully they can get by with Lucas filling in for Watson for as long as he's going to be out.

I was thinking,after reading an article on bleacherreport(not the most trustworthy site,but still has some nice articles for the NBA) that Arenas could be some sort of a realky good solution,provided he can act like a grown man and play at least half of what he did in his good years. He is a great ballhandler, a quality PG/SG,which means that he can fill both holes in the Starting 5,he can jack up a big shot and he used to be a superstar in the near past. I think also that he has some things to prove as well. It's a win/win situation for both sides, if they understand what benefits can take from eachother. (An NBA ring won't seem bad to neither Arenas nor everyone around the franchise... )

That's the rub though. Staying healthy, adjusting to a smaller role and keeping his head on straight haven't exactly been Arenas' strengths in recent years. I guess it'd be low risk for the Bulls, a one year deal at the minimum and he could be cut loose if it's not working out, but I don't think they necessarily need to go that route.

yeah,it was that kind of a night!!

Luc Longley can't get front row tickets? And is that his wife?

Guess it is:

She is a celebrity chef in Australia.

Throws some shrimp on the barbie does she?

Probably not, but I'm guessing she cooks the occasional dish with prawns.

Anyway, good bounce back win for them against the Pistons. Not that blowing out the 2012 Pistons should be considered a great accomplishment or anything as they're having another tough year with injuries and the like, but nice to see the Bulls take care of business all the same. Tough night for Lu, though.

Bulls sign free agent guard Mike James

Not a bad pickup in light of the injuries to Watson and now Rose (out tonight against the Wizards). They should hopefully be able to handle business at home against the Wizards without him but hopefully he's back sooner rather than later or they won't be hanging around the top of the standings for long.

Nice win without Rose, big game for John Lucas with a near triple double.

Good thing they built that 20 point lead, their play through the third quarter and early on in the fourth was nothing to write home about. Fortunately Rose's jumper started falling at the right time and there were some great defensive plays, especially from Noah. You've got to give the Celtics credit for clawing their way back into it but it really shouldn't have been as close as it was. Still, they kept hold of the lead and came through in crunch time, solid win that probably should've been a little more decisive but I'm sure we'll all take it.

Rose was channeling MJ on this one:

It's moves like that that makes it no surprise that Rose only has few FTAs in some games despite his style of going to the basket. His body control in avoiding the hard contact/foul is ridiculous.

Agreed, it's an impressive talent but it's a drawback at times.

At the same time, it may end up being a good thing in the long run. If he can avoid getting too banged up, it might be good for his longevity.
