Bulls at Sixers open thread 11/30/08

Chicago @ Philadelphia

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.

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   0 recs

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’

Aaron Gray!

Him and Ivey have a history.

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   0 recs

Speights!!!!!

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

START HIM

Brand with two travels already.

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

by jemagee on Nov 30, 2008 2:26 PM PST to parent up   0 recs

Agreed.

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

by jemagee on Nov 30, 2008 2:29 PM PST   0 recs

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

by jemagee on Nov 30, 2008 2:29 PM PST   0 recs

We'll take Derrick Rose off their hands.

by jsams on Nov 30, 2008 2:30 PM PST to parent up   0 recs

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

by jemagee on Nov 30, 2008 2:32 PM PST to parent up   0 recs

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 jsams on Nov 30, 2008 2:33 PM PST to parent up   0 recs

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

by jemagee on Nov 30, 2008 2:35 PM PST to parent up   0 recs

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 jsams on Nov 30, 2008 2:36 PM PST to parent up   0 recs

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   0 recs

Bad turnover by Lou already.

by jsams on Nov 30, 2008 2:34 PM PST   0 recs

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 to parent up   0 recs

Lou just did what Andre Miller should've done at the end of the Magic game.

Speights and Dalembert split first quarter minutes.

Speights plays a ton better than Sam.

I never said he was a bad point guard – i said he shot a lot – see the difference?

by jemagee on Nov 30, 2008 3:01 PM PST to parent up   0 recs

Yeah

Maybe we’ll get Ricky Rubio.

I called it.
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.

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.
