Another good win for the Bulls tonight. Lucas came in at the end of the first quarter and changed the tempo of the game. Boozer is looking really good.
I wish people would observe a little better. Thibs changes the offense when Lucas is in the game. It is geared FOR LUCAS TO SHOOT THE BALL. Lucas is doing exactly what Thibs, one of the game's best coaches, wants him to do. He had another fantastic game...and people criticize him because he is not Earl Watson...4 assists and no points. I don't get it. If he was playing outside of the offense, selfish and cancerous to the team...wouildn't Thibs sit him down? you want selfish and self-centered? Go back and watch C.J. Watson's first month with the team. That is not what this is.
But I must reiterate, he is a 3rd string point guard. People who expect him to be Mark Jackson baffle me. He is not the selfish, self-centered jerk some make him out to be. He has worked his butt off to get to this point and he is supremely confident right now.
It is also interesting that while people on this forum criticize him...for being a typical 3rd string pg...the guys on the bench were up cheering him on and yelling "shoot!".
