Damaramu 0 Report post Posted November 18, 2008 Well I experienced my first Thunder game tonight. I gotta say, these people have nothing on the Hornets when it comes to putting on a show. The Hornets games just had so much more energy and the music, entertainment and videos were done so much better. This honestly reminded me of a college game. Then again, it is new personnel running the show so I guess they have to be given time. It was like the Hornets showed us what we could have, then we were stuck with this.

Matt Young 0 Report post Posted November 19, 2008 Great stuff so far in the Lakers/Bulls game. Highlights include Tyrus Thomas crashing threw some chairs in order to make a spectacular save, followed by Kobe doing a Superman leap over the same chairs (now occupied) while making a save of his own. Also, this is the first time that they've used the "courtside view" camera angle on Fox Sports Prime Ticket, and while it works in showing off the details on an HDTV, it's very impractical and sucks even worse than the Kings "rinkside view". Plus, unlike those Kings games, there's no commentary. Luckily Fox Sports West is showing the game with normal camera angles and commentary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matt Young 0 Report post Posted November 21, 2008 I don't know how the Bulls managed to lose by 42 to the fucking Blazers. I wouldn't have been surprised if they lost to Portland, but after a good showing for 3 quarters against the Lakers, I didn't expect them to get raped like that even if they were worn out. The whole team was just atrocious. I'm looking forward to Suns/Lakers tonight even though I'll only get to see the last quarter and a half, maybe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted November 21, 2008 That's because Portland was playing at home, where we are apparently invincible.

Fökai 0 Report post Posted November 21, 2008 I never bought into those complaints that the Bulls needed to be blown up and rebuilt around Rose....until last night. Holy shit, they were bad. I don't even know how you can salvage that team in any way. Rose and Deng are the only players you should covet, Noah, Nocioni and Gooden too for their hustle and defense. Everyone else should be released. EVERYONE. Gordon and Hughes, in their combined years of experience, have never grasped an offensive scheme. They shoot jumpers off of transition regardless of whether it's 1-on-3 or 4-on-1, they both drive baseline 95% of the time and neither has the strength to finish. Let's not even forget they both don't play a lick of defense. Aaron Gray is the slowest player in the league today. Tyrus Thomas is the dumbest player in the league today. Thabo hasn't made any progress since coming into the league. Hinrich shouldn't fit into the team's plans with Rose entrenched as the primary ballhandler and slasher. Lindsey Hunter, Michael Ruffin and Cedric Simmons are gone this June regardless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Czecherbear Report post Posted November 21, 2008 The best part is that Larry Hughes has been back for like two games after an injury and he's already publicly complaining about not getting enough minutes. You can't write these characters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Young 0 Report post Posted November 21, 2008 Yeah, it's too bad the Bulls are stuck with Hughes for the year due to his $13 million contract they had to eat to make the trade for the just as terrible Ben Wallace work. The Bulls went from an overabundance of guards to a marked deficiency at the position overnight. Hughes sucks, Lindsey Hunter has literally done nothing in his short time with the team, Hinrich's out 3 months, and what were they thinking putting Thabo Sefolosha (say it in the same tone Steven A. Smith uses for "Slava Medvedenko") in the starting lineup this season, however briefly? I disagree with bravesfan- Gordon is quite talented on the offensive side, even if he doesn't play defense. Rose is well on his way to being a very good player. If Hinrich was around in a platoon guard/6th man role, Luol Deng and Ben Gordon could toughen up a bit, and the team could find a decent inside presence, they could be the contender they seemed to be shaping up to be not long ago. And before I wrap it up, that inside presence: Drew Gooden is not bad, but his problem has been that his offense has consisted of mid range jumpers- which he's good at, but it doesn't fill the need in the paint- and his defense has consisted of clotheslining and back body dropping people. So yeah, that's not going to work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
