Oh..ok. Makes uh,sense..sure.


Scientists have determined that Gordon's increased scoring is due ONLY to coming off of the bench.

Nothing to do with being Skiles-free. :wavefinger:

If Kirk's back is out of whacxk, it sure would explain why he can't shoot from further than 15 feet, and why he's suddenly gotten slow.

2 challenges:

1. Find me a statistically worse pair to start a game than Duhon and Thabo in the last 20 years.

2. Find me a starting 5 for any game in the last 20 years that averages less than what I

Wow. Just . . . wow.

I wonder what Gordon's blood pressure is right now.

Edit add: I would actually like to see a Gordon / Sefolosha backcourt. My issue isn't with Sef as much as it is with the Duhon + Thabo combination.

I really think it HAS to be Gordon/Thabo. It just has to. How do you explain to Gordon why he's still coming off the bench?

"No, we're not really winning more with you off the bench. No, you're not really playing that great off the bench anymore anyway. Yes, of course you're better than Sefolosha and Duhon. No, you're not starting. Yes, I am aware I am a mother***er."

Maybe it can be done, but we might actually be running out the worst starting 5 in recent NBA history.


Come on, that's easy.

Now try and beat that lineup.

Good thing this game isn't at home, it'd be amusing to see who'd be introduced last in the lineup.

You know what.. I really liked the way Thabo played against the Hawks. He was really in charge out there and looked focused and determined.

I have a feeling he's going to have a great game today. His momentum will carry him.

GO THABO :clap:

So are we officially ready to tank?

I think Deng's injury is going to be worse than we thought. Nocioni's plantar whatever is probably going to flare up to. Wallace will have some neck strain from the weight of his fro. etc etc.

How come none of you guys have Deng in the SL? He's not expected to come off of the bench again, is he?

I like this Thabo has been playing great the last few games. I want to see how he looks in that sg spot with more minutes. He also started last year when Kirk was out. He was along side Duhon but Gordon quickly came in.

Hinrich had back spasms during Sunday's game agaisnt the Hawks, according to the papers.

So if the Bulls get blown out tonight, the Hinrich haters will have to find someone else to dump on!

I dunno about it being the worst lineup ever, as Jamie Feick was a player.

*JOKE*

Also, I probably can top it. Give me a while as I go through Denver Nuggets 2002/03 box scores. If there's a game in which bothJuwan Howard and Camby didn't start, then the Chris Whitney/Vincent Yarborough/Nikoloz Tskitishvili/Ryan Bowen/Chris Andersen starting lineup is on the cards.

Well his actual chance to get playing time are backcourt minutes, but under ideal conditions what do you guys think would be the ideal position for Thabo, SG or SF?
