I'm just as excited about this team as the next guy but you guys sound way too positive on this game. They look like there wandering out there. Lost!
Official RMR - Chicago vs Memphis (ESPN2 @ 9pm)
Anyone else gonna watch the game tonight?
We're playing a 2-2 Memphis squad that is coming off a nice win last night against the Jazz.
Their should be several interesting matchups with Gooden on either Chandler or Curry. He had another nice game last night even though he wasn't matched up anyone that will make a roster this year in Ruben Garces and Derek Hood.

Maybe he can buy Marcus Fizer's place when the Fizz gets shipped?Originally posted by ScottMay
I think Lonny Baxter should peruse the Tribune real estate listings this Sunday.
I only THOUGHT I wanted to see this game!! LOL
Lost, good description....turnovers in the paint....not a LOT of outside shooting...too cramped up in the paint-spacing bad. BUT WHAT DO WE REALLY EXPECT? LOL like i said before...we have a couple teenagers and a couple guys 22 or so, playing against college grads and europian players.....this is to be expected....at least by me... Not much to be happy about, or impressed with other than Baxter....what a monster...!!!! I still say.."is it too late to get bags a ticket next to TARLAC back to europe?" This guys shows ME NOTHING!!! LOL GO BULLS~~~Originally posted by play hard

I hate when they have Nancy Leiberman talking. She is so dull with her monotone voice. Get her off tv.
What the hell Bagaric!? He's averaging a flagrant a game! Do not like that... just giving the opponent extra points.

Glad to see jamaal hit a three. Finally. Williams missed one he should of had. Rolled in and out.
Bargaric our new thug? :grinning:

What da FFFF is Bagaric doin!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?
I'm convinced that Dalibor must go now. I tried to give him a chance, but he just looks horrible. Doesn't know where to be on the floor, looks lost and wants no part of a rebound or a shot.

Lots of positives... named Curry, Chandler, Crawford and Williams. They are goin gto be exciting. Hassell and Baxter are going to be awesome off our bench.
As for JWills turnovers, I'm chalking them up to his speed. Man, he shook himself on one of his crossovers. We also try to make the impossible pass... that goes for all of our guards.

Just shaking my head at this game..
As for Memphis, I really like Smush Parker (I don't see why noone didn't take a chance on him) and Trybanski, when he gets some weight on those bones, he is going to be good. Great find by Jerry West.
I'm really, really disappointed by Gooden. I'll take Chandler over him anyday. I know he is in foul trouble, but still, he just looked bashful out there and is way too weak, even weaker than Chandler.

Agreed. I was defending Dali. Not anymore. He looks awful. I also like what i see in mason. Has range. Plays hard!Originally posted by RetroDreams

Two words...

Nice steal by Mason. Dove to the floor!
I really like what i am seeing in Baxter. He has some nice moves around the basket.

Yea, I really like Baxter. He's got nice post up moves, and is a great rebounder. Reminds me of Michael Ruffin, but with an O game.
Making major judgements from what is nothing more than a glorified scrimmage (and I could go a lot more in detail but I do want to watch) doesn't make much sense at all and reflects poorly on the basketball judgement of those doing it.)
Sorry guys, that is the truth. A lot of these guys will never wear an NBA jersey and many that do will be at the end of the bench. Saying Bagaric must go based on a glorified scrimmage does not cut it. This game will never count in the standings, many have only played with each other for about a week and change. Get real!
This is only about letting these guys play with each other some and getting a little familiar before training camp, let alone exhibition games and then the season, not to mention how young they are and how those that stay will keep getting better for several years.

How are you making this basis? If someone is not going to put any desire or effort into something as simple as a "glorified scrimmage," then why would they do when the intensity is magnified and there are much better players involved?
Dali's flagrant foul was terrible. What was he thinking? The guy looks totally lost. Hell, his first 30 seconds into the game resulted in a travel and 2 fouls. Terrible.
a few things...
Chandler had a good offensive 1st qtr
Curry HE GRABBED A LOT OF REBOUNDS... I want to see the stats on how many rebs he pulled down.. had to be double digits or ATLEAST 8
Baxter-PLAYED DAMN GOOD, good hustle, tip in, rebounds, muscle
Williams-crappy 1st half good 2nd half
Mason-good defense, shut down Smush for a while, that good steal, good awareness to baxter
Dalibor- eh bad game
hassell- missed some 3's he would normally hit
norm richardson- had a few nice baskets... a 3

matters or not... it was still a game a basketball... a rag-tag game, but a game.
i saw virtually non-existent Defense through pretty much the whole game. Crawford was scared to death of getting picked and tried to dance around them the whole night -- every time he did, his man was still wide open for a jumper
and there was NO ONE covering the perimeter -- how did Memphis get so many open 3pt shots!? in the first half it was just insane -- i think they shot 80% from 3pt land in the first half.
for me, the only real bright spot was Lonny Baxter. he hustled, rebounded, scored... and was just about the only thing holding the Bulls together.
Curry, Crawford, and Williams weren't terrible or anything, but did not stand out like Baxter did

And I totally disagree with you which is normal for us. I am going to leave it that. I'll pick and choose my fights and there is no point to our fighting because we think differently and agree on little and I take no joy in arguing for arguments sake. I hope they pick up Dali's option for year 4 this summer.Originally posted by RetroDreams

The only things I liked about the game was Baxter's performance, and the way Jay spearheaded the Bulls last run in the second half. Otherwise it wasn't very encouraging. But once they all play together for a while, I'm sure they will be fine. I'm still predicting a lottery pick though. Perhaps we could finally land the #1 and get James. 
Boy wouldn't that be a team.
Jay Williams
James
Rose
Chandler
Curry
Loaded with unproven potential. That's just me dreamin' though. Later all.
