What a player Butler has become he improved so much starting last season. I read somewhere were last off season he and some buddies trained hard for like a month at a remote location away from the noise and distractions in the city and it definitely helped his game.

I don't care if we get Haddadi for Markieff. I just want him go.

Am I the only one who think he's a bust? Booker should get his minutes
Definitely not a bust. Prior to this season his last few years were great its just he stated he doesn't want to play for this organization and its showing dramatically in his game. We need to act fast and trade him for a PF that will put in work unlike pouty Morris that doesn't give a crap. Man, be a professional and play hard so we could get something equal in a trade for you but now his stock has gone down and we'd get lesser value.
He's talking about Goodwin, not Morris.

I'd trade him for Frye IF that was the best option. He's still shooting 40% from 3 (or was last time I checked). With Chandler in the middle his lacking skills wouldn't be as evident

Ryan Anderson's defense is absolutely horrendous. If he's your starting PF, you're in trouble.

Our starting PF is Markieff and believe me it can't get any worse.

Well, I wouldn't go that far, but he had a great game, and was all over the place. Our offensive rebounding was crazy good between him, Chandler and Len....even Leuer.

Re: Game 11: Chicago Bulls (7-3) @ Phoenix Suns (6-4)
when i say "light it up," i mean "compared to his scoring average." there was a stretch last year where he was really hitting a bunch of 3's. k then

Re: Game 11: Chicago Bulls (7-3) @ Phoenix Suns (6-4)
Good games guys. I like your team and think you'll make the playoffs this year.
Brandon Knight was a steal of a trade for you guys last year. I don't think you guys gave up much for him last year.

Oh yeah, he can get hot from 3. But he took it inside with like reverse layups tonight and a bunch of stuff like that, and often when he gets too aggressive like that he turns it over.

Re: Game 11: Chicago Bulls (7-3) @ Phoenix Suns (6-4)
Now do you guys see why we want Leur starting? Markieff blows, plain and simple. Either he doesn't care or he sucks. But either way, even if he did care, he's still the same ball stopping ISO heavy player as last year and we've got enough of those guys already. His value might already be drained.
Good game though. Almost won in spite of the Markieff horror show. The buzzards tend to circle the weakest link, waiting for him to fall behind.

Yeah, I think the majority wanted Kieff to come off the bench, and in this game it kind of made sense, coming back from injury. He looked pretty active early, tipping passes out of bounds and stuff, going for steals, and even later dove on the floor and called that timeout.
But then most of the time he looked like he didn't belong on the team...everyone hustling all over the place, except him. But read the last few pages and you will see no one is really defending him at this point.

Look at the last two games we played. Then look at today. Trade his ass to Philly were he can rot with a losing culture. This is getting ridiculous

Re: Game 11: Chicago Bulls (7-3) @ Phoenix Suns (6-4)
Kieff made a couple of mistakes in the first quarter that cost us. thankfully, he made up for them. there's that one time where he tipped out of bounds that you all probably remember, leaving Chicago with 2.6 seconds on the shot clock. as long as he brings it, i can handle the mistakes. that said, Bled and Knight are in this. they're all the way in, playing with every fiber of their being trying to win games. Kieff? i can't say that. feels like he's playing with 50% of his fibers, at the most.

McD has backup plans. had one for Tolliver, had one for IT, had two for LaMarcus, had one for Goran. he knows what to do, although I think he wants this to work with Kieff. if he feels like Kieff is holding this team back, we'll probably see something by December that, like all of our moves the last two years, comes from out of nowhere. #butingenerallookingatexecutiveoftheyearconsiderationformcd
