Ah basketball season begins for the bulls, good team this year and hopefully boozer's injury wont linger. Couple predictions are saying they will win around 52 games which seems logical.

GO BULLS!!

    ouch bad loss to start the season

    Lebron should have signed with the Bulls. He could have been "the man" instead of a sidekick to DWade. He would also have had a more balanced team, and a quality big man. Plus, the Bulls will probably play better D.

    I don't think the loss was that bad just the last 8 minutes. We need Boozer to have a legit second scoring option. I also thought Rose sat too long. I know he had foul trouble but he wasn't the same after sitting all that time. Lets Go Bulls!

    I agree. I also thought Thibodeau took out Noah in the second half too early. He was playing really well and he yanked him. I thought Brewer was awful and Korver was not much better. The Bulls need more point production from these two. Watson played well except for the turnovers. Taj Gibson was awesome and Deng was mediocre as usual. Its obvious that Bulls still lack another big scorer besides Rose and Boozer hopefully will fill that void soon!

    Watched like 10 mins of the bulls/thunder game.. their guard #10 i believe is the worst ball handler i have ever seen.... could not have palmed the ball any more than he did.... years ago that was illegal and called.. anymore???..was watching from a distance so did not get his name, but pretty sure #10..
    always looking for 1969 graded basketball

    There is no #10. I think you are talking about Derrick Rose?? I also wanted to add why Thibodeau did not play James Johnson. I thought he had a good preseason and could of gave us some points. The Bulls played three good quarters EXCEPT for the fouls and the fourth quarter was terrible to watch.
  • ROCKDJRWROCKDJRW Posts: 1,330 ✭✭✭
    I think they stopped calling palming the ball in the 80's (except when they like to try and piss off players IE Iverson). Derrick Rose wears number one. If he is the worst ball handler you have ever seen Jivan I would love to go where you watch basketball.

    wow 21 point deficit erased rose had a heck of a game 91-101 W!
  • ROCKDJRWROCKDJRW Posts: 1,330 ✭✭✭
    After the 39 point second quarter I was ready to fire Thibideau and find a way to get Carmelo! Great come back win. I can't wait for Keith Bogans not to start. Its nice to see James Johnson play well. Also did anyone think Scalabrine would play 20 minutes in any game?

    Bulls looked good tonite! Nice to see Deng play well and Omer Asik put in some good minutes!
  • illinifan912illinifan912 Posts: 1,462 ✭
    very nice win deng was great 40 points 98-110 W!
  • ROCKDJRWROCKDJRW Posts: 1,330 ✭✭✭
    I hope Deng plays well enough that Denver will want him and his contract (with Taj or James Johnson plus a pick or two) for Carmelo. Boozers cast came off today!

    Losing to the Knicks at home (and giving up that many points to them) is not a good thing. It's a quick bounce back tonight. Go Bulls!

    definitely, the d needs to step up.
  • ROCKDJRWROCKDJRW Posts: 1,330 ✭✭✭
    five games into the Thibideau era and I am unimpressed. Poor defense, trouble inbounding the ball and odd substitution patterns. At least he played Rose in overtime. I think we may see a Rose vs Thibs blow up at some point. Seven of the next ten games are on the road. I was hoping this season wouldn't be like the last several. The Bulls struggle until January and then rally to a midlevel playoff situation. BTW F CJ Watson (not for tonight but in general).

    does anyone else notice the bulls fall into a 10-20 point deficit and then comeback(or try too) late in the 4th quarter of alot of their games?
  • GarabaldiGarabaldi Posts: 2,004 ✭✭✭
    They gave the C's a good run last night.

    The C's need to close out games better, but not complaining, the Bulls are a good team.

    da bulls 30 point win over the warriors!
  • illinifan912illinifan912 Posts: 1,462 ✭
    slowed the wall down enough to win. Nice W over the wizards
  • illinifan912illinifan912 Posts: 1,462 ✭
    bad loss to the spurs being up most of the game and losing 94-103
  • ROCKDJRWROCKDJRW Posts: 1,330 ✭✭✭
    well the first half was nice. Any word on when Boozer will play? They have always said around Thanksgiving. Well we are AROUND Thanksgiving!

    yeah I believe next week he'll play, two days ago he was cleared for light shooting
  • JeremyDie1JeremyDie1 Posts: 2,383 ✭✭✭
    I hear December 1st is the likely date for Boozers return. I hope its sooner! With Taj Gibson shooting 1-17 the past two games and the Bulls scoring 12 points last night in the third quarter we need Boozer back ASAP! The Dallas game will be a huge game. The Bulls need to play well and come out with a win to restore confidence on this circus trip.
  • illinifan912illinifan912 Posts: 1,462 ✭
    with about a week before boozer returns the bulls are looking good with a double ot win over the suns 123-115
  • JeremyDie1JeremyDie1 Posts: 2,383 ✭✭✭
    Bulls coach Thibodeau says December 10 is now the projected return of Boozer. image
    Big game tonite. Nuggets are very tough to beat at home. I hope Taj Gibson is back healthy and we have another good game from the bench!
  • illinifan912illinifan912 Posts: 1,462 ✭
    ouch beaten by the buzzer beater by a player who would look good in a bulls jersey.
  • illinifan912illinifan912 Posts: 1,462 ✭
    welcome to the bulls boozer. The magic really spoiled his start with a 29 point loss. OUCH!
  • illinifan912illinifan912 Posts: 1,462 ✭
    another blowout loss thanks to the celtics. Not a good return for boozer
  • GarabaldiGarabaldi Posts: 2,004 ✭✭✭
    Good battle between Noah and KG.
  • illinifan912illinifan912 Posts: 1,462 ✭
    first win of the boozer saga over the rockets. I was surprised to see that the bulls are leading the nba in attendance.
  • illinifan912illinifan912 Posts: 1,462 ✭
    da bulls, boozer lighting it up against the durant thunder.
  • illinifan912illinifan912 Posts: 1,462 ✭
    nice win against a central division foe. Good game from rose.
  • JeremyDie1JeremyDie1 Posts: 2,383 ✭✭✭
    Time to insert Ronnie Brewer into the starting lineup. Bogans needs to get out of the rotation. The Bulls should strongly be considering picking up a consistent back up center and a two guard.
  • illinifan912illinifan912 Posts: 1,462 ✭
    W wow great game against the lakers the bulls are on fire!!
  • illinifan912illinifan912 Posts: 1,462 ✭
    blowout and i mean blowout Win over the T-Wolves Keep it up bulls!!
  • illinifan912illinifan912 Posts: 1,462 ✭
    the wins are rolling in. Pretty soft schedule til they play the celtics in early january.
  • illinifan912illinifan912 Posts: 1,462 ✭
    good win against the raptors but at what cost? Now Noah is out 8-10 weeks, tough to fill those shoes but boozer is on fire.
  • JeremyDie1JeremyDie1 Posts: 2,383 ✭✭✭
    This is a big blow losing Noah. Kurt Thomas and Asik Omer will not get her done. We need to really now look for a big man. The Bulls were playing really well together and playing good team basketball. We can't catch a break this year. image
  • illinifan912illinifan912 Posts: 1,462 ✭
    hey now, i think we can continue this winning streak til the celtics game
  • JeremyDie1JeremyDie1 Posts: 2,383 ✭✭✭


    << <i>hey now, i think we can continue this winning streak til the celtics game >>



    I agree. Besides the Knicks, the schedule up to the Celtic game is very favorable for the Bulls. Only now these games will be a little more competitive then they should be without Noah. I think what we'll see now is Taj Gibson and Boozer in the lineup together alot more with Taj being forced to play center. See what happens and hope for the best!
  • illinifan912illinifan912 Posts: 1,462 ✭
    tough tough loss to the clippers, hopefully missing noah doesnt hurt them that much
  • illinifan912illinifan912 Posts: 1,462 ✭
    can someone say blowout? wow 45 point win over the 76ers!
  • illinifan912illinifan912 Posts: 1,462 ✭
    it was close through most of the game but the bulls pulled away in the final minute and win 87-80 of the wiz
  • illinifan912illinifan912 Posts: 1,462 ✭
    merry christmas to everyone, boozer and rose did well but it wasnt enough, 95-103 loss to the knicks
  • illinifan912illinifan912 Posts: 1,462 ✭
    back to back games a good rebound loss from yesterday, 95-92 W over the pistons
  • illinifan912illinifan912 Posts: 1,462 ✭
    the bulls are starting to separate themselves from other central division teams with a 77-90 W over the bucks
  • illinifan912illinifan912 Posts: 1,462 ✭
    good balance in scoring against the nets boozer 20 rose and deng with 19, brewer should be the starting sg though.
  • illinifan912illinifan912 Posts: 1,462 ✭
    another W for da bulls 91-100 over the cavs, good way to start the year!
  • illinifan912illinifan912 Posts: 1,462 ✭
    wow fun game tonight, I was fortunate to go to it. Its true that no seat at the madhouse on madison is a bad one another w for the bulls 111-91 over the raptors.
