Their's no game thread, but man this game was dissapointing. Again the highligh was Pape Sow's play, you could see the difference in the teams defensive rotations when he was on as opposed to Bonner and Charlie. Bosh looked worn out from the get go, it seemed like he was just going through the motions, he wasn't aggresive to the basket offensively, was slow on rotations and just looked dead out there. I don't know what to say really, another perimter guy had a career night against us as Duhon scored 26 points.
Pape Sow should get more offensive touches IMO, his athleticism and quickness compared to other big men should give him a huge advantage, and from what I know and have seen the Bulls big men dont seem the quickest or fastest guys in the L, Pape Sow is one of the more atletic big men in the L. Anyways atleast he was more productive than Hoffa, maybe Hoffa could takeover the D-League and comeback when he's ready to be in the L, Babcock and Mitchell should agree and send him to the D-League.
Pape Sow did a good job IMO.. First play got the bucket and 1.. made some great hustle plays, in the first few games got more blocks than Hoffa ever had.. That one block on Luol Deng was sick which started to rejuvenate the Raps but they fell sort because of Duhon who just lit it up. Also Pape DESERVED more touches, he only had the ball passed to him twice.
I don't know if Pape has improved his offensive game enough to get more touches on offense. But he can be just as effective as a hustle player: tipping in shots, rebounding, setting picks, etc.
mo-pete and jose got into a heated argument and derrick martin had to come in between and Mike James got angry and said he's full of **** (dont know who he was talking about) lol

Pape just needs to keep doing what he's doing, if he get's the touches he can score, but we shouldn't go looking to run plays for him. I think Mitchell is trying to ride Bosh and James way too much, he's killing Bosh right now. Also anyone hear when Chandler rejected someone and was like get that **** out of here, it was so loud on TV, it was quite funny. Then Pape blocked someone on the other end to get him back, good stuff.
