It'd been nice if J-Rich actually played defense and played tight on Korver... and not sag/collapse down... like seriously what is J-Rich going to do on the help on Rose?... stay with your man! Christ... Korver torched us... we dodged a lot of bullets too when he missed shots in the corner, our guys were very late on the rotation... Redick played better D than J-Rich, he always does.... and Jameer played like crap... no excuse for him either... just disappointing at both ends of the court.

Nelson played like crap... Anderson missed good looks... Glen Davis still playing like a lost baby deer... Duhon reverted back to his awful self... and we got killed on the boards... Bulls had so many offensive rebounds... and we shot ourselves in the foot when we did get stops. We turned the ball over like crazy... Awful game.

On a side note, the bulls really arent all that talented, they are just so well coached and play with so much patience that they really maximize their abilities and play great.

Our starting backcourt is horrendous. Just awful.

Dwight has been here 8 years and Otis can't even get one quality *&$(@*$& starting guard to team him with?

I can't watch Jason Richardson anymore. I turn the channel when he's in the game. I can't stand that guy's game and his lazy-ass effort, like when a tipped ball goes right by his feet and he just stands there and doesn't get on the floor.

And Jameer just seems checked out or something. He's never been a Derrick Rose, but Good God he's playing like a D-League point guard this year. A complete non-factor on the court, like playing 4 against 5. He just does nothing.

Agreed. What makes him even funnier to watch is that he gives space to a player who's only strength is being a knock down 3 point shooter... :lol:

It's like he does not watch video of any opponent he plays against because he always plays them the wrong way no matter who it is.

Yeah, he does seem to shy away when the pressure's on. Including last second shots. He's young, so I'm hoping he'll grow out of it, but it doesn't look good.

We look so damn confident whenever we play a team like Toronto or something. But when we come up against contenders, we continuously make stupid mistakes the entire game.

I think Dwight is right, we are soft. Soft as tissue. Someone like KG or Paul Pierce (as much as I hate to admit it) would do wonders for this team's mentality.

J-Rich had a decent game but he struggled to get those 17 points man...Struggled....To be honest i didn't see the difference between Korver and J-Rich...Isn't J-Rich supposed to be Athletic? I'm convinced he lost that....Slow first step....No ability to create shots for himself or others....Can't finish in traffic or hell by himself...Terrible passer....Terrible Defender....Getting big minutes on name alone at this point....

You can make excuses for him but he should be giving us more than what he's currently doing for us....Running around screens and missing shots? Wafer can give us that plus he'll actually attack and with his first step he can get by people....

I catched the game at halftime but,what happen in the second quarter? Dwight was destroying their frontline in the first quarter, why did we stop feeding him the ball?

Oh and I can't leave out Hedo... Mr. Can't step in and take a charge or hustle... or do anything other than make simple entry passes to Dwight or go selfish and take bad inexcusable shots (ex: contested step back difficult jumpers)... pure garbage

Dwight stopped kicking the ball out. Not just him though, the entire team killed the crisp ball movement.

They just decided to stand around and watch the rest of the game. And Dwight didnt help it much either.

It just pisses me off that in our new arena they have won every game against us. Its our home court dammit, defend it better!!!

Dude is done... he just turned 30... he hasn't been in shape yet... like what are you getting paid to do? ... J-Rich can't play man defense... he doesn't hustle for loose balls... he's terrible in transition now... he has no ability to finish in traffic either... his jumper is worse... and on top of that he can't make ENTRY PASSES TO DWIGHT... dude is a walking $26mil waste of space... if this was 23 year old J-Rich, obviously we wouldn't have this problem... he's the kind of player Charles Barkley talks about... you know, the player that loses his athletic ability he solely relied upon and doesn't know how to change his game to be a factor after his prime... that's J-Rich... garbage... Von Wafer and Redick should get all the minutes at SG... J-Rich should gtfo my team

I've been saying for a while now that we could go out and sign any standard Guard with a jumpshot, and I bet we wouldn't notice any dropoff whatsoever. I was really hoping we would do that this offseason.
