Re: Preseason Game #7, Bulls @ Pacers I think this will be a big bounce back game for the Bulls against a mediocre team. I'm expecting a 15 point victory, if not more.
Re: Preseason Game #7, Bulls @ Pacers The Pacers have some nice pieces and a good emerging situation as a rebuilder. Hibbert is balling, Granger is Granger and Collison was a nice pick up. Foster, Posey and Dahntay Jones are nice vet pieces on short contracts and they have a couple of interesting young prospects in Paul George and Lance Stephenson If one of George or Stephenson can step into their 2 guard spot then they are have oodles of cap space within a year or 2 with a nice young core at Center (Hibbert) wing ( Granger ) and Point ( Collison ) Cap space and likely lottery picks over the next season or two holds them in reasonable stead on a rebuild.
Re: Preseason Game #7, Bulls @ Pacers Bulls playing against Raptors tonight. Playing against Pacers in the 8th preseason game. My fault.
Re: Preseason Game #7, Bulls @ Pacers Well I was gracious in my comments about the Pacers I have a firm " No Comment" on the Craptors .. except that they SUCK BALLS and may well be the worst team in the league this season
Re: Preseason Game #7, Bulls @ Pacers Collison was a steal. The Pacers have been aching for a talented PG at least since the days when Bird tried to pry our pick from us so he could draft Ben Gordon.
Re: Preseason Game #7, Bulls @ Pacers And you haven't noticed that everything in this post was Raptors before editing. You are fired!
Collison was a damn good pick up for the Pacers, no doubt. I am intersted in seeing how Tyler Hansbrough does!
Don't know. I think it's blocked out even for non-Chicago people (CSN+)? Or was that the Raps game? Lookin for Taj to pick up his game a bit, and for Korver and Brewer to be a steadier addition to the team. And would be ecstatic if JJ and Omer could continue to show an ability to make real live contributions to an NBA team.
halftime bulls up big 59-38 Bulls 49%, Pacers 38% Deng 17, Rose 11, D. Collison 11 Rebounding Bulls 25-15 J. Johnson 7 pts in 6 minutes
Boozer, "Rose may be the most athletic pt guard he has ever seen and this is just his third year! I am serious."
