    That site says that Westbrook had the same, a torn meniscus, yet is already back playing. So Rose isn't done yet.

    For this season most likely. Westbrook was still out a few games. That's about 5 months.

    I haven't given my opinion.

    Since you insist...

    Taj is a top 3 backup PF. When you try to find 3 better, you'll see for yourself.

    I don't think he'd be a great starter, but he wouldn't hurt the team.

    Boozer? He rode the pine almost the whole second half. I don't know what was up with that. And sure, Noah is going to guard the better of the PF and C - that's just common sense.

    Congrats to Lopez for grabbing all those boards against Nazr Mohammed. I think Nazr is 80 years old.

    Idk where you get these generalizations about Taj, but thank you for trying. Taj couldn't even post up Wes Matthews. He's 49th in PER, 47th in Value Added, and tied for 46th in Estimated Wins Added (which favors bigs who rebound and block shots)... for power forwards. And since this season is a small sample size, last season Taj was 47th in PER, 40th in VA, and tied for 39th in EWA... again for power forwards. He was also 26th for power forwards in TO ratio, 43rd in rebounding rate, 43rd in assist ratio. You can fudge who you call a center or a PF, but he's definitely below average, unless we're splitting hairs over bench guys. He's significantly over paid and his attitude is way above his pay grade.

    Carl Laundry - paid less
    Chris Anderson - paid a LOT less
    Marreese Speights - paid a LOT less
    Luis Scola - paid a LOT less

    There's 4, just for good measure. ;)

    Slighting Lopez? That's a new one. Career High Rebounds, speaks for its self, but I'll just reiterate: Lopez 16 Noah 2

    Chris Anderson isn't a PF.

    I don't think Landry is in the league anymore.

    Speights? He has a PER of 6.2. He's also a center :)

    Wasn't speights a center because Gasol was hurt? I coulda swore he always played a 4 in Memphis.

    Yes, you were :)

    But I think it's a stretch to call him a PF.

    Oh no, I know. I just oddly remember him as a PF because he kinda emerged that year, then went to toronto and dissapeared.

    There were a lot of Bulls posters net-wide who wanted the Bulls to amnesty Boozer and start Taj. I think Taj is a great backup, but Boozer is a way better PF. It looks like Thibs agrees with me, since Boozer continues to get more minutes than Taj, and did all along.

    What was up with Boozer in the second half anyways? I seem to recall not seeing him after halftime, and if I recall, he was playing pretty well offensively against us (as he usually does), and he was a decent rebounding presence. His mid-range jumper should have been easy to get off all night against the Blazers, and it's usually automatic. I wonder if his diminished minutes had a negative effect on the outcome for the Bulls.
