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.
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.

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

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

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.

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

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.
