fathom Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Nov 18, 2010 -> 04:45 PM) Watching us on offense, one thing I'm not concerned about is our coaching. Thibbs is legit. Yep, definitely better than last season. It will be very interesting to see how they incorporate Boozer into the offense. I really hope he doesn't become the focal point.

It will be very interesting to see how they incorporate Boozer into the offense. I really hope he doesn't become the focal point. Boozer will be a huge part of the offense and the two man game they will run at times will be beautiful. However, Deng should still flourish because this team just does a beautiful job of running a motion, pick based offense. I've really enjoyed watching them play and they should get much much better with Boozer back and just more playing time (to gel). And with bigs we are deep. Asik looks like a future defensive stopper off the bench and than we know what we got in Noah/Taj/Booz. Gotta love that depth. Plus a vet like Kurt Thomas if someone goes down. Deng seems to be a lot more active this year. So glad to have Del Negro out of here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 18, 2010 -> 11:35 AM) Korver, Watson, Rose, Deng (small sample size this year) are all better FT shooter than Noah. Noah is a career 70.7 percent FT shooter. Noah's probably my favorite player on the Bulls, and loved the pick when he was drafted, but he should be the last resort in that situation and just made the observation that it seems like we're not efficient enough with our inbounds plays (a common theme in some of the Bulls games this year). I love when people quote career numbers when there's clearly a trend of improving performance as a guy's career has gone on. It works about as well as Bill Gates and I sitting in a room and me declaring "on average, everyone in here is a multi-billionaire!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 18, 2010 -> 10:47 AM) It's not crunch time, it's when you're up 2 with 10 seconds left and you need to ice the game. So yes, you put your best FT shooter on the floor (especially when you know the opposition will call a timeout after the FT to allow you to put defensive players in the game). And come on, Noah is .7 percentage points better than Deng so far, and Deng historically is above 75% while Noah is around 71%. So who is on the floor instead of Watson at that point?

I didn't see him on the court against Houston in that situation. It should be Rose, Watson, Korver, Deng, and Noah, with Noah as the last option to get the ball in.

If you're going to suggest he's going to shoot in the high 70s, then we'll have ourselves a superstar. Edited November 18, 2010 by fathom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no gameplan. It was f***ing inexcusable. So yeah, Thibbs is a quality NBA head coach, and I'm happy that Derrick Rose is being let off the leash and Thibbs knows what he's working with...

The Bulls were taking a chance on a charasmatic guy who was a well respected player. They even admitted it during press conferences and they were hoping his personality and fresh stance and communication skills would work while he learned to coach. That is part of why he got the short term deal for a 1st year head coach. It didn't work but I can't blame them for what they tried. And Del Negro did do some good things giving the younger players more leeway. However, he just wasn't a good coach and the assistants we brought in I think new it and it caused a lot of issues because Del Negro wouldn't call sets and they wanted to call sets.

DBAHO Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 18, 2010 -> 02:00 PM) Yet still not who should be shooting your team's FTs at the end of the game IF you can avoid it. On the other hand, Brewer looks much better now than he did a few weeks ago. You make Noah sound as bad as Dwight Howard from the FT line. Are we thinking other teams are going to go into Hack a Noah mode now or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noah is much more complete than I hoped Chandler would be. Noah is the defender/rebounder I hoped Chandler was becoming, but he's so much more effective on offense already. Chandler fits well on a team loaded with other scorers. Guys like Nowitzki and Kidd and such, who can generate offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
