Rowand44 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 The officiating the last 2 or so minutes of that half was about as horrendous as you'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thxfrthmmrs Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 (edited) the officiating in this game is horrible, rose got fouled on at least 3 to 4 drives to the hoop in the first half and no called was made, then tyrus thomas got bailed out with a p**** foul called when there wasn't even any contact. ronnie brewer got hammered on that layup attempt, no call was made, then the whole building saw augustin travel on that layup but not the refs, and why was rose hit with an offensive foul on the last drive? this is easily the worst officiated game of the year so far. do these f***ing refs got money on this game or something?

Soxbadger Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 (edited) Watching the Bulls can be hard, what is Thib doing. 3 point game with 33 seconds left, the first thing you should do is try and score 2 for 1. Instead bulls score with 25 seconds left. They let 15 seconds run down and they arent even fouling? I dont think you can let it go to 1.3 seconds left, gotta foul immediately.

MHizzle85 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 While Noah & Boozer are out, someone not named Derrick Rose has to grow a pair & show up on a consistent basis. Let's hope Boozer's good to go for Thursday night. In other news, Heat on a 4 game losing streak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=aw-anthonybulls011911 As trade discussions with the New Jersey Nets stall, the representatives for Carmelo Anthony(notes) are engaging the Chicago Bulls with hopes of pushing them into becoming a serious bidder for the Denver Nuggets star, a league source told Yahoo! Sports. Anthony has long been enthusiastic about a possible trade to the Bulls, but Denver and Chicago officials had been previously unable to come to terms on a deal. Bulls executives John Paxson and Gar Forman have investigated the possibility of acquiring Anthony, but thus far haven’t been willing to include the one player the Nuggets most covet: center Joakim Noah(notes). More From Adrian WojnarowskiNets’ pitch to ’Melo: swing and miss? Jan 17, 2011 Rose standing tall among NBA elite Jan 16, 2011 Anthony’s agents are under pressure to make a deal happen for the All-Star forward, who sources said has become an increasingly unhappy client. The Nuggets need to agree on a package with a team in which Anthony’s willing to sign a contract extension. Talks with New Jersey and Anthony’s preferred choice, the New York Knicks, have dragged on since Anthony asked for a trade in August. Nevertheless, William Wesley – Worldwide Wes – is expected to travel to Chicago for Bulls games on Thursday and Saturday against the Dallas Mavericks and Cleveland Cavaliers, a source said. Wesley unsuccessfully pushed LeBron James(notes) to sign with the Bulls as a free agent, and now has an interest in Anthony ending up there. Wesley represents Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau for CAA. Despite that Leon Rose is certified as the agent of record for Anthony, everyone in the NBA knows Wesley is responsible for delivering the Nuggets star to CAA and is hands-on when trying to push teams into deals for the agency’s clients. Chicago has wanted the Nuggets to take forward Luol Deng(notes) as a cornerstone to the deal, but Denver hasn’t been interested in absorbing the three years and $40 million left on his contract after this season. The Nuggets want an array of young players and picks the Bulls will have a difficult time providing. Still, Chicago badly needs another scoring option and Anthony is one of the NBA’s elite offensive players. Noah is recuperating from wrist surgery and is targeting a late February return. Thibodeau is an immense believer in Noah and values his defensive and rebounding presence in the middle. He’s also considered him an underrated offensive player. The Bulls signed Noah to a five-year, $60 million contract extension in the preseason. Meanwhile, the Nets are still trying to make a deal for Anthony, but sources said team officials have no idea whether he will ever commit to a contract extension with them. New Jersey is still talking with the Nuggets about a three-team deal also involving the Detroit Pistons, and has tried to arrange a meeting between owner Mikhail Prokhorov and Anthony. The key components of the deal would send Anthony, Chauncey Billups(notes) and Richard Hamilton(notes) to the Nets, and Devin Harris(notes), Derrick Favors(notes), Anthony Morrow(notes) and draft picks to Denver. The Nuggets are trying to include Renaldo Balkman(notes) in the deal – and bring back rookie Damion James(notes) – but the Nets are still resisting exchanging those players, sources said.

Soxbadger Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 The only way the Bulls can get Melo is if the Nuggets believe that a combo of Deng, Taj and draft picks is the best that they can do. The Bulls just dont have that many young assets to trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 My thoughts after watching the Bulls lately are that they'd be nuts to not be more than willing to include Taj and Asik as part of a blockbuster trade package. Some were saying that you couldn't give up both, but I disagree. Sign some journeyman power forward if you need to add more depth up front.

Quite frankly, nobody on this roster is untradeable outside of Rose and Noah [and Noah would be depending on what you could get back]. If you think otherwise, you're content with getting knocked out in the second round every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
