got scared of Rudy

He was like oh shhhooot, Rudy is guarding me tonight. "Cough, cough...got the black lung, Coach"

 

[jcwkings]

With Butler out it plays to our strengths, they don't have any really good shooters with Mirotic, Butler and Dunleavy out. McDermott, Moore, Snell are the three you try clamp on now. Just stay under on Rose and make him take jumpers. Also need a big game from Rudy now with no Butler.

 

[jcwkings]

I will say for some reason we always have our way with the Bulls in Sacramento for some reason. Just unfortunate there is no Noah for his annual Sactown meltdown. Still they are a good team and we need to come out to play from tip to get this one.

I really like the move to get Beli in the starting lineup. Sooner or later, we're going need him to get him back to form and recognizing that he can get easier shots playing with Rondo-Gay-Cuz is a good move. That's been half the battle this season for him; most of his shots are highly contested. Should see some easier looks tonight

Butler being out drastically changes the dynamic for this Bulls team. Sacramento now favored by 4 and realistically it should be more.

Last game it occurred to me that even without Cuz out there Bels looked a hell of a lot more comfortable running with the starters. Of course some of that may have been Rondo being off and Bels being able to/needed to handle like a semi-PG, but still, it was pretty obvious, and there is a history of Vinny Del Negros, Vernon Maxwells and John Starkses playing SG on great center teams. Second ball handlers.

Yep. It's also a matter of he's just not a guy you can lean on as your top scorer/playmaker, which is how we've been treating him with the 2nd unit. He's a proven shooter who's got good secondary ball-handling and playmaking ability.

I'd like to see a 5-game stretch of it or so, if not just to get his shot back again. We're going to need him down the stretch if we want to make the playoffs. His spacing is too important.

 

[jcwkings]

Bellinelli is much better as a spot shooter rather than playing like Jamal Crawford like he does with the second unit. With Cuz, Rudy and Rondo he should find more open looks off the catch. Good gamble by Karl imo. Also Ben is better with more volume of shots, which he will not get in the starting lineup.

 

[Entity]

I want casspi to go back on his hot streak. He seems to always disappear after all star break

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Now we are screwed.

 

[Chubbs]

The thing I least expect is a King's blowout.

Therefore I predict a King's blowout. With Belli going for 30.

Cause, the Kings.

 

[gunks]

So, Bulls missing most of their starters?

Yikes, looking like a loss for us.

 

[Entity]

I don't recall last time Rudy played without black t shirt under jersey

 

[sdballer]

Sure am glad Marco is starting. His d is s big help

 

[Sluggah]

E'Twaun Moore, superstar.

 

[steelevt]

So, Bulls missing most of their starters?

Yikes, looking like a loss for us.

What are the odds on Moore being the one getting his career high on us tonight?

 

[SLAB]

Oh good. E'Tuan Moore's career night incoming.

Who called that the second Butler was ruled out?

 

[Glenn]

I don't recall last time Rudy played without black t shirt under jersey

November 12, 2014.

 

[gunks]

Good to see Karl's strategy of allowing the 3 is holding up.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Only against the Kings could the Bulls miss their starting SG and still get 10 points in five minutes from his replacement.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

2 horrible Marco passes and counting.

 

[SLAB]

Polo!

 

[sdballer]

I kind of hate this team

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Starting to get tired of the same mistakes from the same players, like Rondo's turnovers.

 

[sdballer]

You can once again see the fan interest in this franchise waning

 

[theclash4u5]

I knew Moore would have a huge game, here comes his career high

 

[Chubbs]

Cousins can barely move yet he appears to be in turbo mode anyway.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Thankfully Boogie is waking up.

 

[Chubbs]

So why exactly was Marco starting and playing for way too long as Moore went nuts?
