2nd_city_saint787 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 (edited) That's 2-0 vs the #1 team in the east...Without Derrick Edited December 22, 2012 by 2nd_city_saint787 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york/knicks/po...of-fight-at-msg Tyson Chandler and Joakim Noah were ejected for fighting in the fourth quarter of Chicago's win over New York. The two centers were tangled up near the rim when Chandler appeared to swing his elbow at Noah twice before turning around. Chandler and Noah then exchanged words and Noah appeared to head butt Chandler. The two had to be separated by teammates and officials. I certainly didnt see it that way, it looked like Chandler initiated the headbutt too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 (edited) Marco Bellinelli...I hope this stretch you're on is not a complete fluke. Because this kind of play is exactly what the Bulls need when Derrick Rose gets back to strength. Edited December 22, 2012 by chw42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Marco is the type of player we've wanted at that position. Hopefully he can be the caliber of player too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially for the money he's paid, I think that's just fine. I'd rather have him than Hinrich for this couple month stretch, not even counting who's paid more.

Again, in your own words, you aren't watching QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 18, 2012 -> 04:40 PM) Honestly, no, I haven't watched a game this year. I will watch a game when Derrick Rose returns. Nate is a black hole. He is stunting Teagues growth, he takes laughably bad shots, rarely plays within the offense, rarely plays defense. He can go away, and I would be just fine with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Nate is the best point guard on the team and is a big part of the reason we're atop our division right now. I hope he stays when Derrick comes back too. Wouldn't mind seeing Kirk go, but dumping Rip for a pick wouldn't bother me either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the complaining about Hinrich yet Hinrich has a strong plus/minus, plays great D, and the shooting percentage has been improving. Nate has been nothing but a black hole most of the time.

I also think that Kirk's role could be more easily replaced by a Teague than Robinson's scoring by anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nitetrain8601 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 (edited) WTF? People would rather have Kirk on this team? It's bad enough we decided on him instead of OJ, but now, you want to keep a guy who is negatively contributing to this team? He has a 10.2 PER on the year. He's shooting .467 TS% with a putrid .436 eFG%. Ortg is 99 with a Drtg of 103. Nate has a 16.5 PER with .524% TS% and .482 eFG%. His offensive rating is 105(105 points for everyone 100 posessions). 103 Drtg. Yes, that's right, Hinrich's supposed great defense has been as good as Robinson's putrid defense. He can't create for jack, misses a ton of wide open shots and contributes nothing. I guess people like the fact that he's grindy and Chicago fans are trying to prove a team can win with literally no offense since subtracting Nate and keeping Hinrich accomplishes that. BTW, Nate has a 13.9 TOV%(turnovers per 100 possessions) while Kirk has 19.9 TOV% Edited December 24, 2012 by nitetrain8601 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
