Bullsger, just to be clear...you're picking the Bulls to win? Hmm. I'd have to say no. Clips over Bulls, 99-89.
Yes. My pick is a Bulls win. I'm thinking positive! And when Denny stick with his 0-100 loss...what can happen? Bulls will have a season record of 74-8!
I didn't make my pick and see what happened? I think 100-0 is in order. This is Philly, a tough team.
I feel good about the last one. They lost, but they kept it close. Carlos is waking up, which is great. I think we handle business, which is tough on the road. Bulls 92- Sixers 89.
Thibs read my post about playing Boozer 40 minutes. 40 minutes, 24/13, 3 assists and a steal Those are all-star kind of numbers.
The national ESPN announcers (non-homers) raved about Boozer's play all night long. He carried the team in the 3rd and 4th quarters, so they said.
I would like more games from Boozer like this. And with a normal Deng game the Bulls have a much better chance to win.
Our two best guards appear to be Nate and Belinelli. Belinelli played 40+ and put up 18/7 with 5 assists and 2 steals. Do we care if Rip plays again for us?
Rip is pretty good. But we need this Belinelli. Nice problem to have. And even though Carlos wasn't the savior this time around, it was nice to see some other bench fellas stepping up, like Jimmy, and MARQUIS! And to have Thibs trust them at a crucial moment in the fourth when they helped turn the game in our favor. Very nice! I have issues with calling Nate one of our best players. Thibs had Marquis in, a 19 year old rook, to shore up the defense. But who cares? We won.
I just don't see where Kirk playing leads to losses, while not playing him leads to wins. But grind away.
I see where we played without Hinrich last year and with CJ at PG and had a much better record (18-9 vs. 11-8). Without Rose. Omer is that big a difference maker?
Uh, yeah, as is a roster that had been playing together for a year, which gave them a significant advantage in a compressed season. No way we'd be that good with CJ and JLIII again this year. But Omer is the biggest difference maker, in my view, because he is that good, and also because of his chemistry with Taj.
I see Omer also as the difference. Kirk is playing ok. Could shoot better. With Kirk or without him. Bulls 96 Nets 88 Go Bulls!
