southsider2k5 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I'm calling a personal foul for premature celebration after an exhibition game. Penalty will be 15 bad posts from the spot of the foul, replay first post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RZZZA Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 It's not premature celebration, its called looking at what we have and making a projection. Scouts do it all the time. Realize that our bench is gonna have 3 starting caliber players on it once Derrick gets back. I'm really sorry for being excited about the first Bulls game in many months, I assumed other Bulls fans would be excited to talk about it too. I guess not. Calling all Bulls fans, where are you people on this forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHarris1 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Regardless of how good the Bulls end up being it just really kills my motivation to watch games knowing the type of tick Hinrich will be logging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calling all Bulls fans, where are you people on this forum? You called people out in the second post you made about the Bulls yesterday. That isn't "making a projection", that is making it personal. Being excited enough to call out people by name after the first exhibition game is crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I like the Hinrich signing as Rose's back up, but as a starter, I know I am going to get tired of the dribbling. Hope we see more ball movement than his previous tenure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RZZZA Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Why are people here so sensitive? Yeah I called him out by name (got his name wrong though...), but so what? Why get offended at that like its some huge insult? It's called friendly ribbing, guys do it all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a grudge, I don't harbor grudges. I just remember what was said and take joy in rubbing peoples noses in it. But in a friendly way. None of you guys ever laugh in your friends faces jokingly when they're proven wrong? S***, one of my friends is a Panthers fan. I laugh at him every week. It's not a grudge, its just ribbing.

RZZZA Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I don't care if you do it back. But he didn't do it back. He got huffy at me and said I'm baiting him and then ran away.

MexSoxFan#1 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I guess I'm somewhere between the more pessimistic and the more optimistic fans here, the way Thibs get's these guys to bust ass during the regular season makes me think they'll be a 50+ win team but they aren't ready to challenge LeBron/Heat yet this season. My expectations won't be that high this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My expectations won't be that high this season. This team is in the worst possible position without Derrick Rose... Not good enough to compete in any meaningful way, but not bad enough to get a reward for their suckage. This is something like a 40 to 45 win team, misses the lottery because they get the eighth seed. AKA NBA hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RZZZA Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 All I heard after the White Sox choke job was how fans shouldn't be dissapointed with what was an excellent season, despite not making the playoffs. If fans are allowed, nay, EXPECTED to enjoy a good regular season in baseball, why not enjoy a regular season in the NBA even if you know you won't win a title that year? Thats what I don't understand. So many people here are resigned to the idea that we won't win anything and that fact gets in the way of their enjoyment of watching Bulls basketball.

WHarris1 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 For me it's not so much the not being a title contender interfering with watching Bulls basketball. It's more so the whole watching Kirk Hinrich and Carlos Boozer play basketball thing. The Bulls can be tough to watch when Luol Deng is the primary scoring option, in my opinion. Not saying anything about Lu as a player just the entertainment level of Bulls games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RZZZA Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Lu being healthy again makes me happy. Rip being healthy again makes me happy. Kirk being healthy again and tearing up in the locker room when asked what it means to him being back in a Bulls uniform, makes me happy. Maybe I'm just easily pleased. I can't wait until Derrick gets back, and the United Center gives him a standing O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RZZZA Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 "The consensus among several players and coaches after the first week of training camp is they’ve never seen Deng playing at such a high level, both shooting the ball well and going effortlessly off the dribble in addition to his fine defense." "Only Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Jerry Sloan, Bob Love, John Paxson and Tom Boerwinkle played with the Bulls longer than Deng. Deng ranks seventh all-time in franchise points scored, sixth in steals and 10th in rebounds. He is one of 14 players in franchise history to make an All-Star team." Stuff like that makes me happy. Lu is my fav player in the NBA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
