mmmmmbeeer Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Considering our upcoming schedule, this is about as good of a time as any for Noah to go under the knife. Taj and Booz will do work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 This is probably one of those things that has the potential to get a lot worse if it's not corrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Showtime Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 15, 2010 -> 08:33 PM) Great game and great atmosphere though I love watching games at the Garden when the Knicks are playing a big game. One of the best atmospheres outside of Golden State, at least from what I get to see on national broadcasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently it is the exact opposite. They let him play tonight because there was literally nothing he could do to make it worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 That's the beauty of the NBA. There's literally 0 chance of the Bulls missing the playoffs, so let him get fully healthy and be ready for the playoffs. Don't get me wrong, it really f***in sucks that as this team is starting to come together we lose one of our better players again for a period of time but we'll live.

dasox24 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 I went to the Grizzlies game tonight and they absolutely destroyed the Bobcats - from start to finish. It was like "And 1 mixed tape" out there. The Grizzlies probably had 6-7 alley oop dunks and a few other highlight dunks. It was an absolute treat to watch as a fan.

What the hell happened to that Bobcats team? They were pretty darn solid last season. They're on pace to lose 50+ this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 I wanted to be amped because Boozer dominated, Bulls are winning, Sox signed Crain, Twins lost Crain. But my favorite Bull, and 3rd favorite athlete (after Paulie, Mark, tied with Gordon) is out for 2 months while he was on his way to being an All-Star. Boo.

He seemed fine yesterday. They did say that it's been bothering him for a while, he's been playing through a fair amount of pain, he keeps getting hit on that spot, and really, he hasn't dominated games on the boards for the past couple weeks like he was for the first few weeks of the season.

RockRaines Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 He got hit pretty bad on that hand last game and you could see how much pain he was in. Just get it fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 With Boozer, Asik, and Taj... Noah is the star we can afford the most to lose. It will hurt, but we are very deep in the middle of the floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 (edited) Looks like the Heat are taking over. Wade has basically said f*** it and isn't waiting around for LeBron anymore. It was inevitable. No team with that type of talent is going to underachieve long. I want to be excited about the Buls. But it's hard when ultimately you know they have little to no chance against the Celtics, Heat and probably the Magic.

Yes, I think they're going to end up being one of the better teams around but they're still under .500 against teams with a current record above the .500 mark and during this winning streak they've only beaten one of those teams on the road. Just as people were overreacting to the Heat struggles, I think people are overreacting to this win streak. As for the Bulls, when they're at full strength, I really don't see any reason why they can't compete with anyone in the Eastern Conference at this point.

This Bulls squad is good and they might be able to find a league average shooting guard. In regards to Noah's injury, I think it might turn out to be a blessing in disguise. Gibson and Asik will get more experience and that should make them both much better later in the season when Noah comes back. Obviously we will lose more games without Noah but I'm confident we'll be getting a good seed in the playoffs regardless. The key will be not to have any other significant injuries.

But they've won every game but one by double digits. They're not just squeaking by teams. They're dominating. And they did kick the s*** out of the Jazz (as you mentioned), Hornets and Hawks.

When has depth ever overcome star power in a playoff series? The Blazers of the early 2000's tried it. Didn't work. There were teams we beat during the title era that were deeper. But we had Jordan. End of story. It's a superstars league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
