Would be a huge win.

I gotta say - Noah's speech on Rose night about the battle against the Pacers and Jeff Foster being the enforcer for Indiana really brought me back. I attended one of those playoff games in Indy at the time. Such an electric environment. I remember Deng getting real pissed at Foster and even getting a tech which was uncharacteristic of Deng but definitely fired our team up.

I miss playoff basketball

Yeah , good series.

In hindsight, that Pacers team was waaaaay better than advertised (their 37w record). Well-coached, prime Granger, rookie George (raw but still a talent), bunch of enforcers and thugs, tons of size and good ball-handlers. Things might’ve been different if Granger stayed healthy while PG emerged (like… decent chance Miami 3 couldn’t even get past them). I liked our 2012 odds too but I guess health had other plans.

No Nesmith, and Haliburton (sprained ankle) and Myles Turner (illness) are questionable, bad Bucks loss type potential here or a good shot at a win for us dead enders.

Bulls don't match up well against the Pacers so I think this is an L. Specifically Halliburton without Ayo. I know Lonzo will guard him at crunch time but Lonzo's got Coby disease in that he's made a habit of fouling 3 point shooters at inopportune moments. Also, (although I have no stats to back it up) it seems like Turner destroys Vuc.

I should have got tickets to the game. It's a two and a half hour drive but they have real good sight lines at whatever they call Market Square Arena now. The blaring race car sound effects however are deafening.

You should definitely try to attend. I'm sure it will be a regular "Holiday in Cambodia". :wink:

Sorry, I'll leave now.

Turner, Jackson, and Wiseman all out for Indy. Does that make Thomas Bryant their only center?

Bryant is an awful defender. Vuc should have a field day if he's serious.

It's Indiana. A Holiday in Indiana. They deported all the Cambodians. And Hmong. And Democrats.

Pat needs to play more aggressively like that

Had a big W over the Spurs, so they're just mailing this one in. One of those low effort games.

SfBull · Post #14 » by **SfBull** » Thu Jan 9, 2025 12:40 am

This is the worst rotation the Bulls can play

Some reality check

Lonzo is good. Damn

SfBull · Post #17 » by **SfBull** » Thu Jan 9, 2025 12:42 am

Lonzo needs more playing time

We always start so slow.

jordanwilliams6 · Post #19 » by **jordanwilliams6** » Thu Jan 9, 2025 12:47 am

On track for 40 turnovers.
