GDT: Game 37, Bulls @ Pacers

[Miller4ever]

Small ball is like a guaranteed way to suck.

Dont know how Foster does it but rebounds just find him.

Oh well.. Thought for sure Hibbert would have had a good game tonight considering there wasnt really anyone the Bulls had who could guard him.

Granger , Collison and Hibbert went a combined 13 of 47. The only guys over 40% were Dunleavy , George and Hansbrough.

I also dont know why Hansbrough isnt getting 25+ minutes. He shot well and got to the line.. Sure he got beat a couple times early when trying to front Boozer but he also had 6 points himself at that time.

The big stat that just jumps at me in this game is Roy Hibbert, Danny Granger and Darren Collison, our 3 supposed stars, shoot 6 for 32 from the floor combined. That is just plain out awful and unacceptable. I know they're only human but 6-32 from your top 3 players? Maybe one, or even maybe 2 have a bad night but all 3 to pretty much kill the team in one night is just absurd.

This team is exactly who we think they are, .500 or just below, and will go on losing streaks and also few win streaks, and hang in there around the 8th spot all year.

noah out for CHI, replaced
at C by 6-9, 38-y.o. kurt
thomas; and roy hibbert
plays only 22 mins?

that was the point of attack
right there!

it wasn't like roy was in
foul trouble. dude only
committed 1 foul the
entire game.

if it was because of his mental/
confidence issues, letting him
dominate thomas would've
been good for him.

rush plays 18 mins in total
as well; when he could've
been used to be the primary
defender on d-rose. even if you
leave bogans/brewer/korver
open on the kick-out, let them
try to be the ones to try to beat
us. playing CHI is always about
d-rose 'coz he's the primary
creator. you take him out, you
take them out.

for crying out loud, we're a
better team than this. we
just really need a better
coach with a better system.

this small-ball, devil-may-care-
just-jack up-the-damn-three
philosophy isn't going to get us
anywhere.

even if we do sneak into the
playoffs, how far will this
system take us? 4 games?

^^I have confidence our coach can find a way to lose a best of 7 in just 3 games,

Another sad stat, from Mike Wells-

Tonight was the 18th time this season that Granger shot below 40 percent from the field in a game. The Pacers are 3-15 in those games

[Grang33r]

And this, from Tim Donahue-

Tonight was the 11th time in 38 games the #Pacers have shot under 40% from the floor. Only MIL (19) and MIN (14) have more.

I don't know why Tyler only got 17 minutes. He's the main reason Boozer got in foul trouble.

Outside of his missed dunk Paul George played good. He shook the mess out of Korver.

I don't know why Tyler only got 17 minutes. He's the main reason Boozer got in foul trouble..

JOB doesnt like being made a fool I guess.

Tylers minutes have dropped from 36 all the way down to 17 the last 2 games..
