Woj: Bulls contenders for Kendrick Perkins

[Chief Walking Stick]

Yeah, hilarious right? One could easily make the same argument about the Blackhawks this year.

No. What's hilarious is how wrong you are about everything. .. all the time.

I haven't been wrong about anything yet, and I challenge you to prove otherwise.

Lol...don't blame the Bulls players because YOU WERE DELUSIONAL IN THE PAST. If the Bulls had the best center in basketball, even injured, he would be playing better and be a bit more consistent. I think the Bulls have a very good group of players. There is more going on than what you are looking at. This team has serious issues, and its more intangible than anything dealing with schematics and gameplans.

But why don't you follow your own advice you like to give others who criticize Bulls' players...post elsewhere, since you don't like the team...

You go somewhere else yourself if you don't like what I have to say. What makes you think that you know anything more than the rest of us about what is going on? And........ I have never told anyone on this board to post elsewhere unless they were morons trying to stir shit up on our team's board. Why don't you enlighten the rest of us with your great knowledge of the team's "serious issues and intangibles" that apparently only you know anything about.

I have been consistent throughout this season that the Bulls were not put together in a balanced way and this has proven true. You were wrong. and it shows. As for you statement about if only the Bulls had the best center, I don;t even know what the hell that you are talking about. You could say that for any position on this team. They sure as shit would be better if only the Bulls had the best power forward, the best PG, the best SF, etc. Your statement is just lame.

Overall, the Bulls are too slow and soft.

- Our bigs (Noah, Taj, Gasol) no longer have the energy level to be elite defenders.

- Rose hasn't figured out how to fight through a pick.

- Collectively, no one on this team can guard effectively at the perimeter.

- They have to score 100 points to win a game.

Until they address these issues, they'll be lucky if they get out of the first round of the playoffs.

The only team that plays with a lot of energy that is out there is:

Brooks
Mirotic/Snell
Gibson
Noah
Butler

The worst defensive energy team out there is:

Rose
Dunleavy
Gasol
Hinrich
?

I want more playing time for the top team and less for the bottom team. It won't happen but it should. You could tell in that game yesterday, that Brooks was pissed that Thibs took he and the rest of the guys out in the middle of that 4th quarter. The team knows what is going on and it isn't good.

The Bulls need to sign Kendrick Perkins!

I love Noah, but he's not the player he was 3 or 4 years ago. He can snatch a ton of defensive rebounds, but that's about it. He's been borderline terrible in every other aspect of his game.

What made Taj special was his fire and energy off the bench. That's gone now. He's still a good player off the bench, but he's been an averge defender, and looks overmatched trying to score around the basket. He is clearly aging.

I like Mirotic a lot. He still needs to get stronger and continue to work on his defense. Offensively, he has the potential to be as good as Gasol or even Dirk.

Brooks had a right to be pissed when Thibs took him out of the game. He regularly outplays Rose, but it doesn't seem to matter. That how it goes though. Rose shoots like crap, is largely ineffectual on defense because he can't fight through screens or stay with his man on defense, but still gets the star treatment. Not to mention the unforced turnovers. All those games he's missed this season hasn't mattered because of Brooks excellent play. Most Bulls fans aren't ready to admit it, but the team is probably better off without Rose and his contract at this point.

yeah Nikola is gonna be great

i wouldn't say he'll ever be on Dirk's level but hes my favorite part of the Bulls future

just think about him in Fred Hoiberg's offense

 

[Gustavus Adolphus]

The Bulls biggest weakness is soft bigs. Face it, the Bulls miss Carlos Boozer's physicality.

Well I know where I stopped reading.

 

[Axl Rose]

i don't know if we miss Boozers physicality

but we sure did get allot softer with Gasol

 

[Axl Rose]

He was going to go where he was going to get playing time and able to contend for a championship. That wasn't going to be here.

EIther who, Cavs have just about solved most of their weaknesses. See ya'll in 5 years when LeBron is finally old.

then we'll have to deal with KD and the Wizards so make that 10 years

 

[clonetrooper264]

then we'll have to deal with KD and the Wizards so make that 10 years

And then we'll have to deal with the next superstar so just make that eternity.

I honestly don't think KD is going anywhere despite the trend of All-Star/Superstars to always want to go home lately.

What trend? But I guess Lebron and Melo are big enough names to make that a trend. :shrug:

Well rumor had it for awhile Love wanted to go back to Cali...

 

[The Hawk]

Gasol is all around better than Boozer. I don't recall anyone saying before they made the move that he wasn't. He, however, is not as great as some here want to believe. And they still needed to add more than what they got with Gasol. They needed wing and guard help beyond Brooks who is the unsung hero as far as I am concerned on this entire team and a guy that I was dead wrong about.

depends on OKC and what they do

last few years they have been cheaping out first by trading harden and then by never trying to upgrade the team

they did just make a trade which i think was a very good one (atleast for now) so lets see how it plays out (will they match any offer for Kanter?)

but if OKC keeps having these 2nd round exits i see both Russy and KD leaving (Russy to LA would be my guess)

Dude, they made the WCF last year.

 

[Axl Rose]

you're right idk why i thought they lost in the 2nd last year

i still stick to what i said though....depends on what OKC does and if they go all in or not

 

[Scoot26]

In 2013, they lost in the 2nd to Memphis... badly.... But last year they did get to the WCF before falling to San Antonio.

I mean since they started making the playoffs....

2010- L- First Round
2011 - L WCF
2012 - L Finals
2013 - L 2nd Round
2014 - L WCF

So while yes, they're not going to the Finals every year, they are relatively successful...the Spurs are mostly in their way. Injuries have killed them this year, so its kind of a lost year, unless they just make a big push in the playoffs.

they struggled against Memphis last year aswell and maybe thats what im misremembering

i remember KD was having a terrible series shooting...Tony Allen locked him down

still OKC has been cheap these past few years refusing to pay the tax and im sure thats not sitting right with KD
