but the only one looking like a douhebag right now is you. He had a good game and he helped his team win. Let it go

not outposted.

He got some sucky calls, but he has to play through that. And the team needs to show better composure and value the possessions more. Despite that, you have to like the fact we had a chance to win when we played like crap.

Turnovers were killer though. Chicago’s points off turnovers was extreme. Seems like they capitalized every time.

but based only on the box score

Had a nice 2nd quarter and led the comeback in the 4th,. He deserved to be out there

they had Hawes on top passing into the paint to Beno who would get blocked at the basket or had to reset the offense.. Sergio decided it was better if he played PG and passed in the paint to Hawes who ended up with a 3 pt play.

But, neither Beno or Sergio lost the game for us. Noah owned JT. JT found someone with more hops and the same amount of energy. We lost our rebounding advantage, which kept us in games when we made too many turnovers. Well he had too many turnovers and couldn’t out rebound the Bulls. Add, to that the fact that we took 21 3pt shots even though we weren’t hitting them, and it adds up to a lose.

I was at the game & I don’t think we played very tough. We took the easy way out with all the 3’s, instead of tightening our jocks and taking the game to them. And, we really missed Noc. We got almost no offense from Udoka & Omri. Omri made some terrible passes and JT kept putting the ball on the floor & turning it over. And, I thought PW’s 3 point guard offense was the worst I’ve seen.

especially when our backup SF’s put up 6. And, JT’s Achilles heel was quite evident. When he goes up against another energy big who has real Hops, his inside game vanishes.

They stopped dominating the boards and the game began to slip away. The rest of it got away from them, but I was surprised they didn’t try and rebound like they did at first.

That’s how it should be.

WEEEEEE

how curious.

That’s what caused him to hesitate, and then make the bad pass. That and the fact that Chicago was filling the lane, and eliminating most chances for him to finish.

A good road trip will help as well. Although, I’m not holding my breath on this one.

….aka Cattle Call.

SportsCenter doing what they’ve always done: put highlights on.

< / sarcasm >

(sarcasm intended)

He actually got a DNP in one and played four minutes in the other.

They deserve it after their lone playoff appearance in 2 decades.They sold their souls, this is their reward.

Unless they’re playing with an orange leather ball.

So I’m guesssing that they win a lot of games on defense. And, not shooting. They beat the Cav’s by 1 and didn’t break 90pts.

Even with Greene’s great game, Nocioni would have helped more with the spacing. The spacing on offense was horrible tonight. Poor Omri Casspi had no idea who to throw it too. He looked lost out there, but his teammates looked like they didn’t give him a clear path a couple of times either.

And, the reason Donte could score so well in the paint was that he could out jump all the Bulls. When JT got in close, he ended up jumping up into 3 sets of hands. I think when you look like you have body control, the refs favor you. When you jump up flailing your arms and fall back onto the court, the refs aren’t going to give you many calls.

But, it did look like the Bulls got some favorable calls especislly early on.

Thats what you’re supposed to do

Noah gets pumped from being hated when he plays on the road too.

and he sure didn’t pass much. If it feels like leather . . . . .

then the best option is to trade Noce around the deadline. The next best option would be to trade him as soon as you can. I know that seems really cryptic, but I think the point I’m making is that we still want to trade Noce this year, but it’s probably best to hold-on to him for a while if we can (because of Martin and Cisco being out). Only Petrie will know when and on what trade is the right time to pull the trigger.
