Hawks at Bulls: Game Thread

[ATL Boy]

Derrick Rose can drive all he wants and he'll always get something out of it! Whenever he misses the shot the refs give him the late calls, Rose is worse then Lebron in terms of getting bs calls. The Refs and Larry Drew are, as usual the other team's best players.

Jannero Pargo the Sharpshooter!! 3 for 3 from downtown to get us back in it.

[HMFFL]

We made some ground on them in the 3rd but we need it to happen in the 4th as well.

[parson]

As poorly as we're playing, the only way we win is for the Bulls to continue to not care. Even then, it's not a sure thing.

Fantasy: Horford's out and Joe's apathetic because they know we're trading them for Dwight Howard.
Reality: this is as good as it gets.

[ATL Boy]

Zaza gets a great and 1 but somehow the refs find a way to take it off the board. This is a joke

[Rip2137]

Larry drew has to understand that just because these 5 guys brought you back, you don't have to stick with all five. hinrich is downright bad out there right now, so put Joe or green back in. Also these guys haven't played extended minutes in a while, so you have to be careful playing them this long.

[Rip2137]

Looks like freethrows are going to cost us another game in Chicago.

[ATL Boy]

Looks like its not just the offense, now the defense is also garbage. Someone please get Josh MutherFu*king Smith out of the game, can't larry drew see that Smith thinks he's "too good" to guard 3 point shooters.

[ATL Boy]

David Stern holds this sport back so much, he especially allows these refs to single handedly rob teams. And yes I think they did that to us in the 3rd quarter when they didn't let us go on any runs cause of the calls they were giving Rose. But then again Stern wants to promote the NBA superstars any way he can.

[HMFFL]

Josh Smith should only lead our team in field goal attempts during those rare special times.

Joe Johnson left with a knee injury so I guess we'll see how serious the injury is.

its like asking Dwight Howard to guard 3 point shooters. "Josh, protect the rim since wed do little to stop defensive penetration and also keep their bugs off the boards because our guards and forwards can't be bothered with blocking out or rebounding...oh and reboun while you are at it defend the perimeter and jumpshooters...you can handle that...right?"

Larry Drew is horrible. His messages will never get through because he is so inconsistent with them.

I'm not saying to defend PG's and SG's at the perimeter, I'm upset that he isn't guarding his assigned man at the 3 point line, just like how he didn't guard Matt Bonner his assigned man when we played the Spurs, and Bonner had the game of his life.

Man, how lucky are the bulls hahahah, even with the refs on their side, Bulls still looked bad at home. Looks like the only way the bulls can win is if Joe has a rare bad shooting night or is injured.

Hawks looked good, they had 3 starters out, 2 of the 3 being the Hawks only All Stars. No surprise what Pargo did, Rose is known for his horrible switching defense. I can't wait for the playoffs, Hawks shouldn't have any problems in beating the bulls in a 7 game series, especially how bad the bulls look against the zone.

Hinrich was and is horrible. his career is defiantly over. i hate how he is taking minutes away from Pargo. it was like every time Kirk held onto the ball and tried to make something happen or take a shot, something bad always happens for the Hawks. I understand Drew not wanting to mess up the flow that Pargo, Josh, and TMac had, but as soon as Kirk messed up the two mini runs that Pargo and Josh had, i totally would have pulled out Kirk and put in Willie. Pargo and Willie could have defiantly gotten the lead and won the game for the Hawks, even without Joe and Horford.

BTW: I was LMFAO, how bad did Deng look and how dominating did Josh look. definatly shows how wrong the NBA got it with the Josh all star snub with Deng, Melo, and Peirce.

[Bucked19]

Even though we loss I was happy to see Pargo get some PT and Joe was actually taking it to the hoop.Hope he sits out and let that knee get better cause his J has really been off.

Yeah SINCE THAT NEVER HAPPENED TO JOSH SMITH LETS PRETEND IT DID. Bonner had 5 made 3s that game. idiotic.

Josh Smith should have played the wing in a normal sized lineup today. ANd matched up with Deng.
But no, lets make him play against big man doing grunt work over the Bulls frontline.

AND when everything breaks down ISOLATE him vs Boozer and Taj to win the game. Good loss. Sadomasochism at its finest.

[Ruhiel]

If Williams is not playing, Josh Smith still stays at PF or goes to SF so Radmanovic can play PF?

Josh Smith wont play SF against Luol *** Deng. That would make it too competitive. Good win for the Bulls.
