Bulls at Sixers open thread 11/30/08

Chicago Bulls at Philadelphia 76ers, Nov 30, 2008 2:00 PM PST

I'm still disgusted over the loss to the Celtics the other night and the season in general. Tonight the Sixers play another mediocre Eastern Conference team in the Chicago Bulls. The difference between the Sixers and the Bulls is a young point guard named Derrick Rose. I'm excited to finally see him in action tonight and wouldn't be surprised if he absolutely abused Andre Miller on both ends of the court.

The Sixers and Bulls are both 7-9. The game is in Philadelphia, so I guess they're considered the favorites, but with the way the season has gone I don't expect it to be easy.

This team needs a shakeup. Read my recap/rant after the Celtics game for more on that. Read this dope game preview over at Blog a Bull. And check out Derrick Rose highlights for a taste of what he's going to do to Andre Miller tonight. Hopefully Andre plays such an embarrassing game, he's traded. One can only hope.

 

TV: NBA TV

Record: 7-9

Prediction: 102-95 Bulls

Well, it'll be interesting to say the least.

Where will you be when the Sixers hoist the Larry O'Brien trophy? Hopefully Liberty Ballers.

And even if we lose, we'll look good doing it.

Love the weekend throwbacks.

Eric Snow thinks Thad should come off the bench.

Interesting.

Eric Snow thinks that Andre Iguodala is naturally a 3 – and that’s why he thinks thad should come off the bench because he thinks that Iguodala should start at th3 3

by jemagee on Nov 30, 2008 2:17 PM PST reply actions  

Yeah, I heard that.

Might work, but I don’t wanna see Willie start.

Who didn’t see that coming?

Strong on the offensive glass early – they should do well there tonight – bulls are ‘short’

by jemagee on Nov 30, 2008 2:21 PM PST up reply actions  

Aaron Gray!

Him and Ivey have a history.

This is definitely a good match-up for us.

Hey andre – see how passing before you dribble like an idiot turns into an easy 2 -

by jemagee on Nov 30, 2008 2:25 PM PST reply actions  

Speights!!!!!

by Jordan Sams on Nov 30, 2008 2:25 PM PST reply actions  

Oh that was a nice move by Speights – up and under – he’s got range AND that kind of crap

START HIM

by jemagee on Nov 30, 2008 2:25 PM PST reply actions  

Brand with two travels already.

Speights goes for the pump fake again.

He’ll learn…he’s still better than Sam

Agreed.

Ed Stefanski should be actively shopping Sam Dalembert for a PG upgrade

by jemagee on Nov 30, 2008 2:29 PM PST reply actions  

Maybe the Bulls could use sam? They are an awfully short team

by jemagee on Nov 30, 2008 2:29 PM PST reply actions  

We'll take Derrick Rose off their hands.

by Jordan Sams on Nov 30, 2008 2:30 PM PST up reply actions  

He seems to shoot a lot – and not so much with the passing?

by jemagee on Nov 30, 2008 2:32 PM PST up reply actions  

He'd be 1000% better than any of our PG options.

Where will you be when the Sixers hoist the Larry O'Brien trophy? Hopefully Liberty Ballers.

by Jordan Sams on Nov 30, 2008 2:33 PM PST up reply actions  

well that only depends if you consider #9 one of those PG options?

by jemagee on Nov 30, 2008 2:35 PM PST up reply actions  

I'd take Rose over Iggy at the point any day.

Where will you be when the Sixers hoist the Larry O'Brien trophy? Hopefully Liberty Ballers.

by Jordan Sams on Nov 30, 2008 2:36 PM PST up reply actions  

He's a pass first guy

But he didn’t realize his teammates were going to brick every shot and make life hard for him. Rose and Gordon basically alternate attacking the rim while everyone else stands around.

Yeah, he's a stud passer.

I love me some DRose.

by jemagee on Nov 30, 2008 2:33 PM PST reply actions  

Bad turnover by Lou already.

by Jordan Sams on Nov 30, 2008 2:34 PM PST reply actions  

I don’t call it a bad turnover – at least he looked for the pass – it’s a learning process

by jemagee on Nov 30, 2008 2:35 PM PST up reply actions  

Speights and Dalembert split first quarter minutes.

Speights plays a ton better than Sam.

i can’t believe this

Look, our star RB is nowhere near 100%, our backup RB is out, and our 3rd string RB goes down when defenders blow in his general direction.
