SP94's Bulls vs Pacers preseason gamethread

:yep: :yeah:

fixed

He hasn't been perfect or anything but I really like what Jimmy Butler is doing out there. He looks like a seasoned vet out there, reminds me of Taj Gibson his rookie year.

Jimmy Butler's effort tonight = not bad. I was expecting a slow start for the Bulls, seem a little out of sync but as SP94 said, Bulls can turn it on at will so we shouldn't be worried.

 

[Bullsman24]

It's always impressive to see the Bulls defensive rotation just come in and suffocate teams...can't get enough of that

Is this what the league meant with the emphasis on shooting fouls? Half of our team has 3+ fouls..

I'm sure the kinks are far from ironed out on the new rule interpretation.

Boozer 6MOTY role?

 

[Bullsman24]

Jimmy Butler is a +23, just makes sense

 

[scottiepippen1994]

I feel like gauging my eyes out after that 2nd quarter our shot selection was beyond terrible.

why the **** did the Pacers trade for Hill? I though it was so he can guard Rose. Instead we have him guard Ronnie Fucking Brewer are you serious Vogel? we put our 2 weakest defenders Collison and Stephenson on him wtf? Have Collison guard Brewer or Korver Also Paul George any time Kyle Korver is guarding you demand the fucking ball and post him up.

This game didnt sit well with me we should of won that game we had Rose in foul trouble and everything. Just a sad effort in the 2nd quarter and maybe the worst shot selection ive seen Did JR Smith somehow get on the Pacers??

Only guy who played like a man was Hansbro he is Boozers weakness. Players who are physical and like contact and hustle have always been the players who stop Boozer.
Danny Granger should of took a shower after the first he forced all night taking horrible shots.

liked Jimmy Butlers effort he and Hansbro were playing with playoff effort.

Our lockdown D can cause some pretty awful shot selection, however, the Pacers have also been fairly shitty the last few years in this area. Granger is a chucker's chucker. He never met a shot he didn't want to take. And that's your best player.

Ya JOB our former coach gave him the green light and called isos for him it really hurt his game. Our shot seletion the past few years have been chuck 3s JOB preached that. Vogel is trying to implement a power post offense but with a guy like Granger chucking bad shot after bad shot we really get the ball down there. Paul George needs to post up more.

I have a feeling that if George averages 15ppg for the first few months of the season we may trade Granger at the deadline. Eric Gordon is really the perfect fit IMO and he wants to play here so wouldnt be surprised if he quietly ask for a trade. Granger for Gordon makes since for us and NO(Granger is from there) Paul is a 3 and so is Danny I expect him to get dealt sooner or later. Or maybe we keep both and Eric comes via free agency. But we despratly need him we need a guy who can get his own shot. Gordon can and Granger only thinks he can which really hurts because he forces a ton of bad shots.


I thought the officiating was terrible both ways did they not get the memo on the new rules??


EDIT: Rip seemed very into it the assistants were talking to him the whole game and he was also talking to his teammates and seemed excited.

Watching Scalbrine be a teammate = :cum: just unreal at clapping and cheering wish I had his job lol

I wouldn't be surprised if Granger is traded. To Nola though, I don't really see that happening. I know you're :fap: over the idea of getting Gordon, but I get the feeling Nola is going to do everything they can to try & keep him there. As much as we hate to admit it, $$$ talks in this league, & when it comes to getting your first big contract, it is almost solely the motivating factor.

Also, would you guys even have enough cap space to sign him outright? Hibbert, Hill, & Rush are all RFA next year. Not sure how high Bird is on those guys, but I'm expecting Hibbert , if he has a good year, will command a pretty penny come the offseason (And I'm betting Bird will match all offers on him). And considering that the team is losing $$ right now, I doubt they want to venture into lux-tax territory.

ya we could sign Gordon to the max next year we have the cap room. We have 15m in cap room right now and more coming off the book next year. But it would be hard to keep all our guys if we do that. We arent paying the tax unless we are a legit contender for the title. The owner doesnt mind paying it but he only will for a piece that makes us a contender for a title Eric IMO would be that.

But yes EJ will get an extenstion no way he passes up one for the right amount f money. But I wouldn't be shocked if he quietly asked for a trade.

 

[Crystallas]

Hill was out of sync, you are right. But I think it's harder to bring in a fresh player to learn a scheme at the point, than any other position. So he will take a few months to adapt.

Hans was really a beast. I'll go back to what I saw saying before, you guys have the best backup PF in the NBA, and I think he has more gears.

 

[Bullsman24]

Idk if Hansborough plays that well all season. He's a guy who really exploits the Bulls because he forces Carlos Boozer to...move...but we'll see if he's able to do that against elite power forwards. I think he's a great backup though. I'm not gonna lie though, if I saw him in a dark alley, I'd be frickin scared...that man looks deranged...

Just like Boozer has his weakness of guys who play hard. Tyler's weakness is when he faces long defensive bigs really take him out of his game. Taj Gibson is a better person to start vs Tyler than Boozer IMO.
