Game Thread: Bulls Vs. Pacers

BATTLE FOR EASTERN CONFERENCE SUPREMECY!!!

We have the struggling Bulls vs. the streaking Pacers in this matchup.

COMMENTS/QUESTIONS:
-Can Boozer contain D. West?
-Will Noah and Rose break out of their funks?
-Will our 3pt shots start falling?
-Why did the NBA tell Rose to stop wearing his neck tape?
-Is Paul George becoming a bonafide superstar? Can Deng hound him into a bad night from the field?
-Can Taj be that "spark" off the bench for this team?
-We really need Rose to have a good game controlling the ball and pace. If the shot isn't falling he needs to create turnovers and push the pace.


I can't wait to see how we bounce back from this cold start.

-Yes, I think so.
-I think Noah will break out of his funk this game, maybe the next. And Rose we'll see. I think he'll play better than he has, but that's not saying a lot.:lol I think his first all star-level game happens Friday against the shitty Jazz, or definitely against Cleveland because he always gets up for games against fellow star point guards.
-Nah, the 3 pointer problem is partly who's taking them. Rose is jacking up too many, and Deng is taking ones, but they're usually not the corner ones that he makes.
-The thread was made way before K.C. tweeted it, but players can wear it now.:lol And I have no idea why they couldn't before.
-He's nearing superstar level, Deng should matchup nicely though.

Agreed on Taj/Rose.

It's been frustrating to watch the start of the season but with that being said i am not surprised. Rose still needs some time to work off the rust and Noah is still working some things out and getting healthy i think. We need those two guys to be themselves in order for our team to be what we expect.

Rose needs to settle down and stick to his strengths without forcing the issue until he gets into a rhythm.

Noah needs to focus his energy on defense and rebounding and let the rest come his way.

Deng needs to take smarter shots.

Butler needs to look for his shot a little.

I like what i've seen from Boozer so far.

The bench needs to step up and give us a little more.

Go Bulls!!!!!!!

Rose has looked good on both ends so far. Granted it's just CJ Watson, but he's getting around screens way way way better. Noah looking pretty solid too.

What the hell? We now call fouls on that shit?

Just made it into the house....let's get it!

Rose isn't landing on both feet after his jumpshots, he's doing a one foot landing which idk, if it works it's cool and he's playing well, I just want to know what caused him to switch up his form like that.

I like what I see today. We aren't being sloppy with the ball and we are stepping in a bit from the 3pt line and hitting some nice mid range shots.


9 points in 9 minutes from the Bull's star. I can dig it.

Rose has been really nice.

Unfortunately Boozer and Deng haven't really shown up.

Wow. Just...wow.

I know that feel.

It's only 5 games...it's only 5 games...it's only 5 games..it's..:cry:


Maybe losses will rack up early, and so Deng actually gets traded. Or something good roster wise happens. Maybe a GM buys into Boozer's empty numbers?!?!!?!? Something.
