GAME THREAD: BULLS @ BLAZERS - 11/22/13, FRIDAY, 7 PM, CSNNW

Especially since it seems like finding a decent shooting guard is so hard right now. The NBA used to have so many great shooting guards, and now it's pretty sparse. It's weird how we go through chunks of time where point guards are it, like right now with Paul, Westbrook, Deron Williams, Rondo, the list just goes on and on. How many great shooting guards are in the league though?

 

There are two ends of the court...

 

Rose tore his right ACL . . .

 

He thinks he might have, but they haven't done an MRI yet.

 

No shit preseason means nothing. But people bagging on a player based on preseason... That means something.

 

Nice to see you're back on the Wes train after you were killing the guy during the preseason and early season!

Go Blazers! Just got back from the game. Rose thinks he tore his right ACL now? I didn't see anything that would have indicated it. Maybe that drive where LMA basically swatted him, and Rose landed on his right leg and fell down?

 

Some people just like to complain about players. Give NateBishop credit for at least doing a 180 on Wes.

 

As we say in Germany.... Ja. Dat was here der point.

 

I wasn't killing him. I was concerned about him, and those concerns ended up being correct because he had a heart condition. I said on many occasions that he didn't seem like himself. Yes, he had a horrible preseason, but what concerned me was that he didn't seem like his heart was in it. That's not like Wes at all, which was concerning. Luckily he's back to himself.

 

Mother. Fucking. Rip. City.

I was a bit disappointed at first to hear and see all of the Bulls fans at the game tonight. Over the past few years, there are more and more fans of the visiting team. Drives me crazy. Thankfully they were shut up after halftime. Batum on Rose made a huge difference; Lillard gets picked off so damn much and can't recover.

That second half run was fantastic. Everyone woke up and just when you thought it couldn't get louder....we stole the ball and somehow, it got louder. It was a long night for LA, but he came through with those clutch free throws. And....what else is there to say about Wesley? Iron Man was locked on.

Sucks for Rose. He's one of the players in the league I really like to watch and I hope it's not as bad as it looked. As soon as Batum stole that ball and I saw him lunge and his knee give out, I knew something had happened.

I love my team and I won't be horribly upset if we lose at Golden State. Tonight was another special night and I'm so proud of this team.

I can't wait to check my DVR.

 

Papa.... I've maybe responded to a post of yours since you were released from prison (can't remember, but I'm sure I have). Welcome back, FAMS!

 

It will be played over and over on sports center and nbaTV no doubt. It looks like it was a play with Batum on him and gave out after he turned back up the court.

 

Lopez got a career high on rebounds tonight. I have a feeling there will be more

 

8 offensive boards from RoLo is so impressive to me.

 

You obviously don't know me very well, tootz.

 

Leave it to Jaynes to be the first to say, "[Bulls] would have won if Rose didn't get hurt." Absolute BS. Batum on Rose was the key to that entire come-back and it happened with Rose on the court. You could just as easily say, "If Rose stays in the game, that blow out in the 3rd continues." Batum dominated Rose.

 

Hinrich was why Chicago came back. He wouldn't have those plays with Rose in the game

 

The second time he's done that this season (setting a record high in boards).

 

You're reacting to Jaynes? Evidence speaks for itself. We made a run with Rose on the court.

 

Rose was 6-19 . . . He wasn't going to win the game for them . . .
