Chicago Bulls Game Preview:

 

This is going to be a tough game for the Chicago Bulls after a exhilarating win against the Dallas Mavericks four nights ago. The Chicago Bulls had a 10 point lead entering the second half and the lead disappeared due to erratic play. The Bulls did not mesh offensively for a period and Rose pulled off one versus five as he did previously against the Houston Rockets.

 

Luol Deng & Taj Gibson MUST STEP UP or this is going to be a long day for the Chicago Bulls and they MUST PLAY WITHIN THE SYSTEM. I do not want to see Taj shooting lame jumpers when on the P&R he could be cutting to the basket. Deng, please stop going ISO and play WITHIN the SYSTEM. Deng must also make WIDE OPEN THREE POINTERS, it was pain watching him miss horribly on three pointers two nights ago.

 

Taj Gibson played great and hit his first 3 pointer of his basketball career, which is very interesting. He always attempts it in practice but never before in a professional game. Taj, thank you for practicing your three-point shots this year and we are glad you improved.

 

Tom Thibodeau, what the hell were you thinking last night with your rotations? Deng is still playing 40+ minutes and he is averaging about 38minutes, stop burning him out. We want to see James Johnson on the court with his play-making abilities.

 

Derrick Rose, not your fault for the assists, because his teammates need to convert WIDE OPEN opportunities. Rose easily would have gotten 10 assists last night if the latter was true. Rose flop a bit bud because that's the only way you are going to get to the free throw line because the Refs are blind on you. Scream like a high pitched girl like Brandon Roy does when he goes to the hoop and get the calls.

 

Joakim Noah, PLAY WITH YOUR HEART, not with you [expletive]. Where have you been? Stop thinking about puff-puff and leave it all on the court. You need to be more aggressive and play better defense. Good job on getting 10 points and 17 rebounds, good effort.

 

That is all, hopefully we will have a Bulls win.

Rose will certainly have his way with Fish, he's just too quick for him. He could very well eclipse the 30 point mark.

 

Pau needs to show up in a big way. He needs to man up and outrebound Noah, and also we need him to play better help defense especially when Rose is attacking the basket. Honestly though no one on that roster worries me, if the Bulls were smart they would give Korver more playing time considering how much we've struggled defending the three.

Gasol has to take the game over, no more shying away from the basket when we need him most. The numbers are there, but if Kobe is struggling, it's Gasol's job to step up. Everyone else, maybe with the exception of Odom...you can't expect that from them because they play through Kobe and Gasol.

 

Noah and Gibson will be defending him, though.

 

I expect to see Kobe attacking like crazy when Korver is in the game, maybe the same with Shannon Brown.

Haha, Gasol is not the MVP of this team, let alone the league. Here he goes again.

 

Funny, though...at the end of the game, he'll end up with decent or good numbers, all when he gets them against a poor defender or in semi-garbage time.

I'm not going to argue with you considering you watch more Lakers basketball than I do by a mile, but I just turned on the game and Gasol's stat line isn't too shabby at all. 9 points 6 rebounds 4 assists 2 steals and 4 blocks..?
