Official 2010-11 thread of the Chicago Bulls

everybody else has one so f it why not a Bulls one?

Chicago Bulls just defeated the Denver Nuggets at home 94-92 in a close game.

Noah continues to lead the NBA in rebounds and the Bulls had 12 blocks I believe tonight against the Nuggets

thoughts on the game

Rose is still shooting too much, but Gibson and Noah's length did a lot to bother the Nuggets, who played very small tonight. The Denver bigs didn't play a lot of minutes tonight, and it resulted in a lot of shots getting blocked. Chicago finished the game well, especially on the defensive end (though Denver was kind of sloppy). Carmelo went off, but it wasn't quite enough.

I liked Noah since watching him at Florida. That dude is so much fun to watch and does so much for the Bulls. I also really like that Taj Gibson (from USC) has turned into such an important player as an afterthought by most experts. He's a great piece to have... I hope he can keep it going even when Boozer is all healed up.

Overall a good game. Billups made two huge mistakes (a huge turnover and a bad/late pass to Affalo) that basically sealed the victory for Chicago.

I've had more fun watching Chicago than any team in the league so far (other than the Lakers... of course).

Bulls games have been entertaining this year so far(except the Knicks game that was painful). This loss made up for the Knicks game though

Deng and Rose didn't really play that great tonight and we still got the W. Bulls D was stellar tonight and why we won

next up Warriors on Thursday and Wizards on Saturday. Should and hopefully will win both to go to the suicide circus road trip at 5-3

For me (speaking on the NY game)... and it's hard to question a professional coach even if he is new to head coaching, I felt that the reserves did a good job bringing the score close to within comeback range, but I did question Coach T's decision to not put Rose and Noah back into the game. It was a wasted opportunity. Maybe it was a lesson to the starters, but still... I think that when the secondary team brings the game close to within striking distance, lesson or not, you have to put the starters (or at least the effective ones) back in to see if there is a shred of a chance that they can make a difference and bring the rally full-cirlce.

I agree with that. I thought putting the starters in would've definately gave us a better chance to win that game. The starters gave the Knicks a huge lead and the reserves brought us back in the game was his thinking but at that point when we were within striking distance for the win it's time to bring the starters back in. In close late game situations I'd rather live with my best players on the court no matter the circumstances

Good game!Noah is beasting up

Rose first 3 quarters: Nothing was falling for him last night. Most of the shots he was taking weren't even bad shots. Hopefully it doesn't become a common thing.

Rose in the 4th Q: $$$. What first 3 Q's? He showed up in the 4th. Went 4-5 shooting, put us within 2 points twice, sweet pass to brewer for the tie, made a jumper to take the lead and made another one shortly after to pretty much put it away.

Taj Gibson all game: Had the touch last night. 5 blocks! he did a great job. He's going to be a great reserve when Boozer comes back. He kept us in the game in the first half.

Noah all game: all hustle. grabbing every board he could grab and hit a clutch free throw at the end of the game.

Deng: good plays here and there.. bad plays here and there.

Bogans: key defensive plays at the end of the game.

That game was a roller coaster ride... Happy we got the W though... we needed it after a tough loss to Boston.

That's what I was thinking while watching the knicks game.

I was also thinking... against the Pistons, the Bulls were getting blown out. Our reserves brought us within 8 with 7 minutes left of the game. Then Thibs put in the starters and we tied the game 3 1/2 minutes later.

Our reserves brought us withing 9 against the Knicks with 4:50 left to play.. and Thibs left the starters on the bench..

I still don't think we would have won had he put Rose/Noah back in the game cuz NY was on fire... but yeah...it was worth a try.

How is that fair to the bench,tho? I think you stick with the bench. If they starters were gonna help you they wouldnt need to be subbed out in the first place.

Right now Bulls are dominating the Warriors. Had a 35 point lead in this game

Rose has 22pts, 12asts right now in the early 4th. Probaby won't get much more since it's a huge blowout and starters will rest

but well played game by the Bulls right now

warriors were pitiful :/

that was their 4th game in 5 nights though, right?

yep Warriors did half that rough skid. Without David Lee too which is huge. The Warriors without Lee are alot worse off

Bulls beat the Rockets 95-92

Rose 33pts and 7asts. He made 4 3pt shots tonight too

Great way to start a 7 game circus road trip out west. Solid win over the Rockets 6-3 now

Got the Spurs,Mavericks,Lakers,Suns,Nuggets,and Kings next 6 all on the road

Spurs and Mavs on back to backs

for now I'm going to enjoy this win though over the Rockets on the road to get the 1st road win this year

What do you guys think about this?

I only got to watch the last quarter.

I actually feel bad for Houston. No Yao. No Chase. No Brooks.

They actually made it a close game and the officials went stupid for the last couple of plays including a questionable 8 second violation non-call... Martin was fouled on his lay up... Lee intentionally fouled Rose only for it to be called 2 second late...

It is what it is.

Good game for the Bulls and Derrick Rose though.

Shit

Thats a tought road trp..

I see them beating spurs,losing to mavs and lakers and winning the rest..

SOME HOW

oh man... horrible road trip here we come...

Hope we turn things around before X-Mas, so that way we can earn another win against you guys on X-Mas Day. I am so going to that game. It will mark the first time I've ever went to a X-Mas game.

if the knicks hit 500 3's again, then u guys should win...

hahahah

hahahaha I can actually buy beer @ the conession stands now without pleading someone else to do it. But it's mad expensive so I'm just gonna buy a slew of them and try to sneak them in. That way as I drink them down if the Knicks are missing 500 three pointers instead of making them. It would still feel like they are not missing making everything. Now that's a Merry Christmas mornin indeed

hahahaha!!

well I hope ur gonne be drinking due to the knicks sucking... haha

Sorry Nenad but I hope your Bulls lose tonight! :p

pffff..

you better keep some tissue next to you during the game, Jaleesa.. you'll need it.
