I want to see Noah defend Aldridge tomorrow.

[DASMACKDOWN]

Im very happy for Noah but I am also pissed at the same time. There is no reason in the world he shouldnt be playing more in the game. Same goes for Tyrus to at least play in it. Cant the staff just see a really good game by Noah or Tyrus is far more impactful than any other front court player?

[newskoolbulls]

I bet alot of teams are firing some scouts for not telling them to snag Gray with a late 1st round pick or early 2nd rounder. Kid is tuff as nails.

[Balance-a-Bull]

Noah!!!!!!

He smart, under control, effective and just outstanding.

he was active and very productive. he was all over the place, but in control.

He played a great game. If we can consistently get his help along with Gordan, Deng and Smith, we should do really well this season.

I wouold like to see a lineup of Gordan, Deng,Smith, Noah, and Hinrich on the floor for even more offensive fluidity.

Boylan is doing a good job with the rotations.

Great win!!

Quick OT question is Reggie Theus in the HOF?

All our bigs had a big hand in our win Rerisen, the rooks had some bigs exciting plays. Even Thabo played some decent minutes.

No. Nor should he be.

He played 17 mins and did great but so did Joe Smith. Noah is a rookie and who is to say playing 30 mins he does what he did. Boylan did a great job by playing him a good amount but also playing the vets.

Theres not enough mins for Tyrus,Noah and Noc so some one has to be the odd man out.

Also at the 5min mark it was a GOOD sign to see when he brought Deng back it was for Noc and not Noah. Look at the positives in the game not what you want
Boylan has said he would work guys in and he has. Tyrus must not be showing much

[NLK]

I'll give you teh early sticky.

I'm amused that Stacey King keeps going off about what a big win this is. Beating Charlotte isn't really a 'big' win.

I agree. Now if we beat Portland tomorrow night (which btw is a back to back, something we're struggling at to put together consecutive victories), then we might have something...

Anyhoo, Player of the Game, imo, Joakim Noah. Tomorrow, we'll need to see some Tyrus "I'm picking out the splinters from my @$$" Thomas. I can almost guarantee you Ben Wallace will be disinterested and lackluster tomorrow night.

[newskoolbulls]

Thanks Kulaz. Didnt know much about Reggie the player. His Kings are giving the Knicks a beating without Artest, Bibby, Martin lol.

[kulaz3000]

Credit needs to be given to Wallace also, though it would pain alot of people. Tonight made it four straight double figure rebounding game for Wallace..

In the past 4 games, 2.5 blks, 10.5 rebs...

I've noticed KC's pretty predictable in what he likes and what slants he takes in articles. He's big on veterans, loves Deng, big on Duhon, and low on what I would call "risk or reward" type players (Gordon, Thomas).

Duhon's playing very poorly after a good start to the season. No turnovers does nothing to show the effect he has. It amazes me how all these "analysts" have forgotten what happened last year. In a month, everyone's going to be screaming to take Duhon out of the starting line-up.

[ChicagoChris]

Noah looked great. Hopefully he can build on this.

also: it sure is nice that he's tall. it's tough when our lineups are undersized at nearly every position.

[Red Larrivee]

You wouldn't think Deng had a double double by watching the game, but you would by looking at the stats.

He's got to get better with having more of an impact. I swear, until after Dore said it, I thought Deng only had maybe 10 and 7.

Every big man but Tyrus
