Taj Gibson is doin' work.

OOOOHHHHHH!

Lucas + Rose isn't a horrible combination, actually. Having a second creator with Rose isn't a bad idea. Lucas is actually a slightly better shooter than Watson.

OOOOHHHHHH!

 

Shades of Game 1 of last year's ECF.

Why the hell is he still on the bench?

 

He could obviously start. But that's a hell of a weapon to bring off the bench. Think Manu with the Spurs.

Wow, the Bulls could hold the Raptors under 70. That's not so easy to do.

s***, I missed it. Was it similar to the Wade poster or the other one?

Manu hadn't been starting? This is news to me.

Other one. This one was two handed and not as impressive, but similar in that he got it off a rebound and flushed it down hard.

Not now. I'm talking during their championship years.

If this team somehow survives through Tuesday, with the season-opening they've had, they'll be in great shape.

 

I think the Bulls and Lakers will be the only teams to end tonight having played 14 games.

Wow, Bulls might not score 80 points. This is a college basketball score. Pretty weak offense, but great D.

10 games over .500 already.

@JeffGurt Bulls are the first team to hold opponents under 70 points in three straight home games since the invention of the shot clock.

Shortened season, bunch of games packed in together, there will be games like this.

Taj yelled "GET THAT s*** OUT OF HERE!" before and during his block. Hilarious.

Bulls are so damn amazing.

 

I can't wait to be back in Chicago, to see them play live.

@JeffGurt Bulls are the first team to hold opponents under 70 points in three straight home games since the invention of the shot clock.

 

Of the five teams they've played at home (Grizzlies, Hawks, Pistons, Wizards, and Raptors) only one has made it over 70 points and it was the Hawks with 74.

 

 

Reading posts about the Bulls there is no way you would be able to conclude they would be anywhere near 11-2 with their back to back to back out of the way and 9 road games, and without Hamilton most of the time, and without Rose for a game. Some around here, if the truly are Bulls fans, need to quit nitpicking and enjoy.

This. x 1000

 

No Rip, no CJ, Noah MIA, bunch of back to backs and mostly on the road and they are 12-2?

 

GTFO here with the complaining.

Kobe said after the game that Chris Paul & Derrick Rose are the only other players in the league with the same competitive edge that he has

 

Can't get a bigger compliment from Kobe.

I hear a lot of this chatter about this, and how Scotty Brooks rotates his minutes etc.

 

But right now, with the team playing the way they are, why would you change anything? Harden will play 30 mins a night anyways regardless of him starting or not.

Say what you want about Doug Collins, but he's just made another unwatchable team watchable again. I don't know if Krause and JR were incorrect about his ability to take a team from point B to point C, but is there anyone better taking a team from point A to point B? The Bulls he had Jordan, but Detroit, Washington and now Philadelphia were garbage when he took over.

I just had the same conversation with a sports writer buddy of mine the other night. Kobe and Rose were at the top of our lists. Then we wondered... Lebrons physical abilities+Roses drive=?

 

Damn

That's an interesting statement. I like.

HUGE compliment, considering Kobe matches MJ's borderline psychotic competitive drive.
