Jordan4life_2007 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 It still hasn't hit me that Pau Gasol is arguably the Lakers 4th best player. How the f*** does that happen? And Rizzy, please stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RZZZA Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Ok maybe not double doubles. But I could easily see him averaging 10+/7/4 boards/1 block/1 steal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being injured and on terrible teams for 2 years may have something to do with that. He's a smarter and better PG now than when he was last in a Bulls uniform. And Thibs is gonna ride him hard.

Even when he was averaging 36+ minutes a game early in his career, he still never hit 7 apg. He isn't going to be playing nearly that much this year.

So in the two years where he was injured and on terrible teams he became a better point guard than when he was last in a Bulls uniform? Based upon what exactly?

Id take that bet just on technicalities. lol he didnt say he'll average a double double or anything, Kirk will probably get a couple a month and I'd be happy with that. I see Kirk as a Kyle Orton(yes I compared him to a QB) type, someone who will manage the game just enough to give us the chance to win. Not a great player or a game changer but good enough to get the Bulls by until Rose returns. I don't think a career high in assists (which would only be 7, what I'm calling for) would be an unrealistic average for the year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 31 year old on the decline averaging a career high an assists when he is going to play less minutes per game than he did early in his career is by definition unrealistic.

RZZZA Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I still think the Bench will be awesome, but I said that it'll be awesome when D.Rose comes back. In Game 3, Deng and Rip didn't even play 1 minute. When D.Rose comes back, our bench will have 3 starting caliber players on it...Kirk/Deng/Taj with possibly a 4th being Nasty Naz. How is that not awesome? ONE OF DA BEST BENCHES IN DA LEAGUE BRO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the dumbest things ever posted in this thread and that is saying something. Also, I would like to know who is starting for Deng that allows you to add him to the bench and why Hinrich wasn't good enough to start for a "terrible" Hawks team but is a starting caliber player.

RZZZA Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Deng has played with the bench for the past 3 years, is this your first time watching the Bulls? Kirk got passed over because he was injured and because the Hawks had a young promising PG named Jeff Teague they wanted to groom. Naz being starting caliber is very wishful thinking, granted. But his offense is definitely a lot better than Asiks was. Naz can actually hit a 15 foot J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Every player plays with a bench player at one time. By your definition Lebron is the best bench player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He plays more than Derrick Rose for christ's sake. He is in no way a bench player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RZZZA Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Spoelstra does like to keep one of either Wade or Lebron on the court at all times. If you play with the bench in every game and do so for significant minutes, for several years straight, I don't see whats so controversial about me including Deng with the bench mob. He's there, he's playing and he's playing big minutes. *shrug* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
