IGT: Chicago Bulls at Boston Celtics 2/12 2:30 PM CT on ABC

[RC_Skinny22]

What a terrible game:

Bulls were looking like there were 5 Javale McGees on the floor. Hella stupid mistakes! SMH!

Rondo, the player I hate the most, made a triple double! Come on! And don´t allow him to do his stupid behind the back fake! Foul that ***** hard!!! Not with a flagrant, but just hard!

Bulls didn´t move the ball well cause everybody was just standing around. Off ball movement was terrible. This leads to contested shots which leads to a bad shooting percentage. Which loses you games!

The overall effort has been awfull! Noah and Korver were okay, the rest just didn´t care enough about the game today.

And listening to JVG made that game almost unwatchable!


I hate losing to the Celtics! Don´t lose to them in the UC or I´ll go nuts!!!

Why wouldn't Rondo score 31 vs Rose? Did Rose learn how to finally guard Rondo or just be a good defender, period?

Rose has owned Rondo in their past few matchups. Rondo averaged like 13 ppg, but only took maybe like 10-12 shots.

Rondo told Deng that he stole his all-star spot.

He's still a ***** for grabbing his left arm though.

No he didn't.DWill and Joe Johnson did.And according to my records they didn't steal something.

I´m telling you if he grabbed my arm like that he would have gotten a punch into his chest 4 sure!

Not buying that. Rose had trouble guarding Collison and Teague on the playoffs last year. They're not even as good as Rondo. Having Rose just improves team offense and deepens bench. Bulls would win but I wouldn't bet against Rondo scoring 25-30 points.

We are playing against him soon in our court.Wait to watch Rondo scoring 15 points max against DRose.

Nah I'm not saying Rondo is going to be kept scoreless or anything or shut down. He'd still score over 20 points in this game, and maybe still get the triple, but he'd be slowed down a bit with having to chase Rose out there.

I know Rondo basically averaged a triple double in that playoff series against Rose and other PG's certainly have good games against Rose. Rose is by no means a great defender.

Joe Johnson and Deron Williams are both having better seasons than Deng. Stop being a homer.

Ya that's only a couple games. As an overall defender I'm just not impressed with Rose. He's steadily improved but not at that good level.

Yes and they are both guards.Thats why they are on the all star game and not Rondo.

Deng is a forward.

 

[RamiTheBullsFan]

Deng is a forward.

Who cares? Okay then Deng stole Josh Smith's spot.

Happy now?

Wow what a bold prediction, saying Rondo, a guy who probably averages around 15 will indeed have 15 points.

He an score 7 on any given night but is very capable of scoring 25, especially if a few of his shots drop.

lol.You are right.But with Rose in the court he can't have a good game.

Is there a reason to say that Deng didn't worth being in the all star?
No he didn't steal anything.Smith should probably be in the all star game too.They have both about the same stats and Deng has a bigger impact on his team defense WHOSE TEAM was first in the league.Maybe when it's close that makes a difference.Plus Deng wasn't an all star ever before.

 

[thechosenone]

lol wut?

I mean it's not breaking news if a guy who averages 15pts,score 15pts.But with Rose in the court he can't score 31 like today.

None of what you just said was true.

Josh Smith:

played more games than Deng.

helped his team defensively more than Deng.

helped his team on the boards more than Deng.

helped his team offensively more than Deng.

Josh Smith has never been an all-star either and Josh Smith > Luol Deng.

yes.so?Do you know what 37.7MPG mean?
no
yes a bit more.
no
didn't say that he was.the #2 of the 2 years best record team wan't.
NOOOOOOOOO.I like Smith.Don't make me sound like i don't.He is not better than Deng./

 

[RC_Skinny22]

After a game like this I gotta go, take a seat in a corner and think calmly about the real chances of winning it all!

Important not to overreact but I don´t have a good feeling right now! Of course you can lose games and of course losing by just 4 points against Boston with Rose out is good, but I´m worried about the mindset of the Bulls´ players.

When I know our leader is out, I´m gonna fight twice as hard!!!

I love Luol Deng. But implying he is better than Josh Smith or saying he is having a better year is pure homerism. None of the knowledgeable posters in here will take your opinion too seriously with statements like those.

The only reason why some guys here believe that Smith is better than Deng is because Smith is not a Bull.Everyone is better when you only watch his highlights or his good games.You judge Deng for his bad games too.But don't do the same with Smith because you don't even know when he has a bad game.Has Smith this year performed a comeback by himself @LAL when his team was trailing by 8 with 1:30 left?A game winner maybe against Chicago?Because i remember him shooting bricks when they only wanted a good play to score 2 points and win the game and Deng was guarding him and scored the game winner against Atlanta.
