    Re: 10/29 - 11/4 Games Discussion Thread

    I just think they play too many minutes. Like I said in the preseason thread. How do all the starters on a playoff bound team play 30 plus minutes in the last preseason game? That doesn't make sense to me. Especially with this groups history come playoff time. I'm not saying use the Spurs approach. The Bulls play too hard of a style of basketball. To be wasting time with the preseason.

      The only thing that worries me about Chicago is the minutes/injures thing. Coaches that have a history of running players into the ground generally stick to that (see Dantoni). Thibs is a much better coach though, so we'll see.

          I don't get worried by the minutes so much as the handling of the minor issues. Or what appears to be a lack of such from an outsiders view. Noah's foot starts acting up and he plays through it, but ends up going down. Hinrich gets banged up one night, plays the next, but misses the next 5. Not even including the Deng 'mishap,' as I still don't understand exactly what happened. I know a lot of that is guys wanting to try and play through it, though, so it'll be interesting to see how they approach the inevitable injury with guys like Noah and Deng. Hell, Boozer about due for something.

          Preseason be damned; those guys wanted to be out there. This team can't wait to get started, which is why I expect a convincing start to the season. Unfortunate they let the Bulls loose in Miami on ring night..

            Think it goes hand in hand but very true. Thats who this team is. The same drive that makes them play hard and focused as they do is the same thing that makes them play when they probably shouldn't. Its their culture and for the most part its a good thing. Just need to try and cut the bad out.

              I agree with you guys. Deng mishap was the weirdest. But I expect the Bulls to beat the heat tonight.

              The Mavs got rid of their GM 3 months after getting him from the Rockets lol... That was quick

                  I think this is the bulls year to get a ring. I think they could stay healthy when it counts, and with rose back its like they have rejuvenated hope or something. Plus Ive said that whatever year the bulls stay relatively healthy, will be the year they make the finals. I think with rose back, that year could very well be here. But with the injuries they seem to often sustain, I think there window is closing.

                    Thibbs and other coaches are going to ride their horses but I wouldn't mind more coaches doing what Pops does. I don't blame either strategy as long as a coach pulls his guys when they're up 12 with a minute to play

                      It'll be nice to see Rose back on the court finally. Hoping for an Oden cameo.

                      Not sure I'm going to make it past one quarter the Battle for LA.

                        What if Rose never got hurt? The Bulls could be the team looking to 3peat. Lebron could still be getting killed by the media, making him ponder leaving Miami for a warm city out west. Things that make you go hmmm......

                            I love the Bulls, but the one thing that destroys me about them and why I can never pick them is because its pretty much Derrick Rose and Derrick Rose only. Granted they always have a great defensive team, and they may get a game against them come playoff time, but I've just always felt Chicago didn't have the right #2 option, some kind of big time scorer to help take the load off of Rose. The Russell to Durant, the Wade to LeBron, Rose doesnt have that, he has Carlos Boozer. He has Joakim Noah. He has Jimmy Butler (nothing against him) and that's why I can never see the Bulls getting past the Heat in a seven game series.

                                Telling you, that 11-12 team was poised for greatness. Not fair. Has to be one of my favorite squads in recent memory.
