Bulls showing why they're not championship caliber.
I never said only reason. You must have some kind of comprehension disability.
If Bogans is the number 1 source of the Bulls problem...this must be a championship team, must be the best damn team in the league...lol.
But the Bulls are not the best team in the league, and Bogans is not the main problem. I hope you mean shooting guard is the main problem, which is still inaccurate, but sounds a bit better.
Well boozer isn't a very good help defender. He's not into the offense yet. Right now Taj is palying better, so start Taj.
Bogans is my favorite scapegoat, but mostly for comic value. Brewer is a better player purely for his hustle and defense, and he gives you far more than bogans does.
Noah isn't a pg. When he tries to dribble against garnet, he tends to get stripped.
A lot of fouls weren't going our way.
Shaq still sucks on defense.
The celtics are a better team(sadly), and they played that way.
Can some1 figure out why we consistently go down in the first half?
Is it the offense? rose? Defense? Bogans? Benny? It can't be a coincidence that bulls go down every game early in the game.
I tried to tell people this :\
But there's about 15 other PFs about as good of a scorer as Boozer.
Really? I'd love to see who you have on that list. Because
Nowitzki
Stoudamire
Bosh
Boozer
Randolph
Duncan
Are the only guys averaging 20+ points per 36 over the last 5 years (OK, Griffin as well, but he hasn't really played enough yet). If you go 15 deep you're talking about guys like Charlie V and Jermaine O'Neal, who I don't think anyone would seriously call "about as good a scorer" as Boozer.
players that are either above or close to the level of Boozer playing the PF position in the NBA:
(not necessarily in order)
1) Pau Gasol
2) Dirk Nowitzki
3) Tim Duncan
4) Kevin Garnett
5) Amare Stoudemire
6) Chris Bosh
7) Lamar Odom
8) Paul Millsap
9) LaMarcus Aldridge
10) Blake Griffin
11) David West
12) Josh Smith
13) Luis Scola
14) David Lee
15) Kevin Love
16) Zach Randolph
as for better low-post scorers than Boozer, I'd say only Stoudemire, Gasol, Duncan, Garnett, Scola, and Nowitzki are the only other PFs that even hold water as better in that category.
But I assure you that all 15 of these guys can score 20 points per-game fairly consistently except for Josh Smith, David Lee, LaMarcus Aldridge, Lamar Odom, Kevin Love, and David West. So the number 15 may have been a little bit high (if Boozer is the same player he was a couple of years ago) but it's at least 10 players who are as good of a scorer.
You underestimate Boozer. Stoudemire cannot score in the post better than Boozer, not at all. Nowitzki doesn't really try to post in the paint that often, he is a high post player who faces the basket and relies a lot on his jump shot. Gasol is a beast, no complaints there, he can do pretty much anything all these guys can do with the exception of Nowitzki.
Duncan isn't as good a scorer as Boozer, neither is Garnett at this point in their careers. Scola is having a nice year but I wouldn't put him on Boozer's level at all simply because he hasn't done it consistently at a high level.

you underestimate boozer as much as i underestimate joe johnson. Kevin love shouldn't be on this list. Josh smith? he's got a hook shot, but he's not really a post up potion.
