Korver (as usual)

Do you have any stats or actual grounding argument when you say that Korver is not only awful but, the worst FA signing of the off-season? Or is it just unabashed hate?

The Unacceptable:
Thibs recklessness finally catching up to us


Brewer and Noah are fine. His "recklessness" got us to 61. Again any other examples of the "recklessness?"

I honestly am just interested, because it seemed like you had a lot of odd/irrational opinions today (no offense meant).

This guy is amazing, he uses the worst arguments to justify his previously poor predictions.

I just don't find it meaningful at all. San Antonio is sitting their starters right now. We don't have to sit our starters, but they don't have to go hard tomorrow.

Fortunately the Bulls weren't going hard tonight at all, until the 3rd quarter. But Noah didn't need to come back in during the 4th.

I am not surprised one bit. Reminds me of the Bears games this season with all the back QBs (3) they played this season the way hes talking. Guess he is going to rip the Bulls a new one on first and ten tomorrow ops edit cause you know the other 59 wins meant jack cause all those teams were missing their stars as well I guess. bayless gotta love that guy

On another note it seems like Derrick can't buy an assist sometimes. Countless missed open J's off of his passes and our bigs losing the handle and/or not finishing inside.


This really pissed me off. Rose could have had 10+ assists if our players made some shots off of Rose and caught the ball and actually finished inside. I don't think anyone made a shot off of Rose's pass in the 2nd half and I counted atleast 13 passes from Rose in the 2nd half that were open to his teammates.
:evil:

Anyway, Good win. Spurs don't think it's important as they are resting Manu, Parker and Duncan.

I think its funny how everyone is pretending to play coach for this team. I think Thibs clearly knows the psychology of his team better than any of us do. He takes risk of injury because he knows his players need to maintain their fight. When you get accustomed to sitting at the end of the game, you let your guard down and dont develop a 48 minute mentality. His philosophy may be controversial, but I don't think this guy is an idiot. He knows he has a team of warriors.

Both Brewer and Noah downplaying injuries. Brewer said he wanted to go back in and he's playing in playoffs "as long as it's attached."


No worries my friends.
14 years is a nice run but it's time to end the Paxson era.

Only Bulls fans would complain about Boozer getting a monster double double game.

You do realize that if the Spurs lose tonight, we will be tied right? And like tomorrow if we win, it means the Spurs HAVE to win on the road to have a chance?

Lets say we know absolutely nothing going into the playoffs. If we get to the finals and it happens to be the Spurs on the other side and lets just say they were invincible at home in the playoffs, there would be serious regret for not going all out in the regular season.

Hey guys get hurt on fluke plays. Anything can happen.

The fact that Noah is fine, no harm done. But the guy needs to get his wind back.

Brewer will be just fine since his main thing is playing defense anyway.

It won't be..Noah and Brew will be fine (according to them). And honestly we've won without Noah so even worst case scenario I like our chances.

Back to the game...man Boozer seriously needs to get back into a groove.

The 22 rebs is fantastic but the 5-17 is absolutely pathetic.

The rebounds were great. His activity level was great. His defense was even fine. But he was just utterly useless trying to score the ball. Getting blocked by Turiaf, fumbling the ball, not finishing...it wasn't pretty. He needs to do better.
Can I borrow a feeling?
