The Regime

Really poor defensive half. We gave up too many open shots in transition, and both Nene and Anderson are having their way in the paint. Pau and Bynum need to play more aggresive next half, and limit the scoring in the paint. The Nuggets are bound to get cold sometime next half, we just need to contest every shot (easier said than done). I dont think Kobe has the mobility to stay up with Billups, so unfortunate for us Farmar and Fish will guard Billups for the remainder of the game. Artest needs to lockdown JR next half, the Nuggets can only make a push if he scores. Offensively Kobe played a great first half, he cant beat people off the dribble but he is drilling almost every jumpshot. Pau played like a puss pretty much the entire half, he is lucky he got some easy putbacks, either way points are points. Fish was garbage, Phil should consider playing Brown at point if Kobe can play most of the second half without pain/fatigue. We need to open up the third on a run. Hopefully we can rest the starters for tomorrow's game.

I know, I was joking.

Kobe is locked in, the Nuggets are [expletive]ed if that three ball keeps on dropping.

Billups is killing us right now, we need to stop giving him open shots. I'm glad Phil subbed out Fish.We couldnt have played a better quarter offensively, but as usual we blow a solid lead. Nice oop Kobe.

Nuggets are [expletive]ed! Kobe is beating em up with a bum ankle.

Kobe needs to let the offense come to him, no need to shoot contested jumpshots. Bynum needs to play better defense, he let Nene blow right past him and the play after he let Afflalo get a easy uncontested reverse layup. Overall though, not a bad start.

2nd of his career Bulls need to pray Noah gets back soon, Brad Miller isnt starting material

Also props to Crawford tonight, he is doing a good job facilitating and getting his guys good looks.

Nice run by Atlanta. John Salmons cant stay up with Joe Johnson, nice to see him continue to take him off the dribble instead of shooting jumpshots. Josh Smith and Al Horford are wearing out the Bulls frontcourt, they are grabbing every lose ball and giving the Hawks second chance oppertunities. This is where the Bulls miss Noah. Speaking of Josh Smith the dude is a beast. He is resiliant and plays tough, I love his game.

Hawks are playing sloppy basketball, Bulls up 6 at the end of three.

lol Nets up 1 at the end of 3

Atlanta is playing crappy transition defense, this game shouldnt even be close.

I dont know, he has some mad hops. I dont watch alot of Bull games, but in the few I have he has made some sick dunks. ChosenOne hinted at one of them against the Suns.

Derrick Rose should be in the dunk contest.

Hawks are scoring at will, Noah's absence is already being felt.

Noah is sitting out with plantar fasciitis, big blow for the Bulls.

Pierce is going to struggle, he has a slow release and will probably have to rush the last rack/rack and a half.

haha yeah, but on the bright side I get paid overtime and I have SuperBowl Sunday off

No, he is overpaid and overrated. He needs a o-line and great WR's to succeed, and he has neither. Plus he is as injury prone as any QB in the league. Rams should just part ways with him.

works just the way it sounds, one of our employees is taking the day off

Tomorrow is gonna suck, I got work from 7am-midnight.

Kobe is gonna give his ankle a go tonight, I'm sure Phil will limit his minutes.
