Bulls vs Pacers 1pm - Game thread

[dougthonus]

The pacers always seem to play us tough even when they're lousy. We lost to them in Indiana while they were missing Granger who's now back. Still, the Bulls have been awesome at home, and we now have a set rotation which we were lacking last time.

I predict a Bulls win.

I predict a Bulls blowout.

 

[dougthonus]

It's hard for me to feel good enough about this team to ever predict a blowout.

 

[Gene]

Just seems like we've finally gelled after making that trade. We traded like half the roster away. I'm really digging our rotation. I think a little more Tim Thomas on the floor isn't a bad thing either.

 

[dougthonus]

This game has gotten ugly fast.

 

[Gene]

Nice comeback by the Bulls. What a lucky shot by Ford at the end of the half.

 

[dougthonus]

As long as they didn't let the game get out of hand, I'm happy. They can easily win this game now. Hopefully they just execute in the 2nd half.

 

[dougthonus]

If only this game went to OT a couple times, Tyrus could have had a shot at the points, boards, blocks triple double to make Reggie Miller happy. What a game by Tyrus. He's really coming around.

 

[Gene]

Phew. We were on the verge of blowing them out a couple times. Tyrus has been amazing the last few months. He's still very young. I think next year he will be a lot more consistent. And by his 5th year I think he can be an all-star.

Man, Tyrus Thomas has been great lately. I'm still a little reluctant to jump on the bandwagon. I just hope he keeps it up. Maybe Roy Hibbert will learn you have to go up strong against him.

John Salmons was big again, Gordon was good, Miller off the bench. I'm feeling good about this team right now.

i just love seeing miller throw that little fake and drive to the basket

I think it's safe to be high on Tyrus right now. He's steadily improved and he came into the league extraordinarily raw. We've seen his jumper become fairly consistent and it's backed up by a very good free throw percentage with a ton of attempts too.

Tyrus's upside is questionable, will he lock down his skills enough to be great? Who knows, but I think it's safe to say he's going to be a starting caliber PF for his career. It might be time to stop worrying about LaMarcus Aldridge.

I missed the game because of the early start. Good to see Tyrus build up that trade value for this summer :laugh: . I have been hard on the guy but he has really had a decent season after a dismal 07/08.

Wow its going to be so fun watching Tyrus destroy souls right into the playoffs.But it will be even more fun arguing with you about him and if pax will keep him or not..

 

[Newskoolbulls]
