THE OFFICIAL 2014-2015 CHICAGO BULLS THREAD

[ckfree]

Alright, this is downright hilarious. When the game entered OT, the Bulls really started to pull away with it. For players near the end of the bench it was usually difficult for them to hear Thibs shouting for them to sub in. To help fix this, the players on the bench would shout down to the end and tell that player to check-in. Noah fucked with Hinrich at the end of the game, and lied THREE TIMES that coach called for him to check in. It was hilarious, Kirk fell for it every time. Below is a link to the video of Noah trying to apologize and Kirk having none of it.

jimmy comments about the 76ers while funny and true tells me that they dont take these shit teams seriously -- they always fuck around against these shit teams and they wonder why they lose to them

Rose possibly a head of schedule an Jimmy/Taj practicing in full.. Just stay healthy cot dammit.

R.I.P. to Jack Haley. The best bench mob member, & towel waver in Bulls history

word and at this point im not hoping for any matchup the bulls got the ideal scenario (or i thought) last year and look how that turned out

hawks

cavs

raptors

wizards

bucks

pacers

etc

i dont give a shit

have any of them run up

Spoiler

sike

bulls gotta avoid cleveland as long as possible man the difference in how refs call games against lebron as opposed to any other team is night and day

 

[S.jR.]

The way Niko has stepped up this month, no reason he should be limited in minutes come post season play.

 

[ckfree]

thing with niko is he should rarely play the 3 because he loses the advantage of having him draw a big out of the paint and the average 3 can stop nikos drives with ease while a 4 will have difficulty doing so -- which is why he draws so many fouls on them

taj should really be the back up c and niko the back up pf from here on out

watching niko play since the all star break has been like the first moments of when the drugs kicking in

hes a weird stretch 4

not really a pure shooter like dirk

not really a ball handler like kukoc

but he gets to the lane and has great court vision he really sees the floor really well

Haven't been catching too many games lately, but I saw the 2nd half tonight. Has Snell been quietly elevating his game?

Tony Snell has shown much improvement in his game since he cracked the rotation. 3 point range, mid range, driving to the bucket, defense. Working out with his HS teammate K. Leonard over the Summer is finally starting to pay off

 

[twizza 77]

Snell just needs confidence and be assertive on a consistent basis.

 

[J.J._Evans]

Do we have enough "playoff" minutes for Noah, Gasol, Mirotic, & Taj?

It seems like they all play better individually when given max minutes.

 

[ckfree]

no doubt the shit tricky you got 4 players sharing two spots that all deserve 30 plus and whats weird is how none of these guys duplicate each other strong point

its so thibs to talk about effort while underselling the necessity of talent/production (e.g playing bogans over korver and hinrich over anybody else) even when they werent the most talented they still won by sacrificing themselves and their bodies to playing d and chasing after every loose ball -- it was their trademark/identity but now the roster is the deepest/talented its been since he been here

personally i think thibs prefers it how he had it where he can play checkers -- where youre not good enough to get minutes from the guy ahead of you until the guy ahead of you gets injured and now plays 40 minutes -- hes gonna have to play chess now whether he likes it or not though because thats what the roster calls for as well as what playoff basketball is all about

adjustments

bulls need all four bigs hopefully thibs puts them in where they match up best -- ignore starting and finishing minutes go 100% for match up -- closing with noah at c and niko at pf would be ideal though

 

[twizza 77]

Niko can play some 3, I would have him take Dunleavy's closing the game minutes, if Dunleavy isn't effective.

the bucks have a bunch of guys that can deal with strech 4s if the bulls get them in the playoffs they will need to take advantage with taj

if its the wizards -- niko

but this is thibs though so he will probably do opposite and hope for the best rather then to adjust what the game is dictating

Good shit.

Three surgeries to his knees, yet he keeps fighting to get back up & suit up for the Chicago Bulls. His heart & love for the city should never be questioned.

 

[ckfree]

for the record i should have worded my shit differently

it does take a certain kind of drive an inexplicable obsession to put yourself through the physical and mental grind that rose injuries have put him in -- i was more speaking on his play on the court and the level of pussy indecisiveness he has played with that hasnt been there in the past

just play the position

point guard

drive kick, create openings and most importantly stop shooting 3s and i will take my chances with any team in the east this year (wont put any money up on it though)
