[Axl Rose]

lol this team isnt gonna win anything with these melt downs

 

[DCguy]

Noah did a good job staying with Mo on the switch. Mo couldn't shake him.

 

[DCguy]

The refs trying to bail the bulls out this game. Though Minnesota been caught slipping the whole 4th quarter.

 

[Axl Rose]

won this by the skin of our teeth

we got really lucky with that foul call

 

[Diehardfan]

LOL Minnesota is horrible. They live on the perimeter. They were making them tonight and they still lost. They haven't been to playoffs in 10 years...just might have to wait another 10 as well.

 

[TheBullsBro23]

Took advantage of a rookie mistake, but way to go Jimmy for knocking those down

So did Cleveland in yesterday's game.

 

[Crystallas]

Well, we have a stretch of easier games. *knock on wood*

The vets need to blow out enough games to get these rooks floor time so they can eventually carry more load.

When we gave up 19 turnovers, had one guy grab 12 offensive rebounds, and finished without our starting backcourt who are both athletes, and it took 3 all-stars and waiters to knock us off barely in overtime....

We are really good at basketball. Gasol's offensive skill surprised me because of what he can create. I was thinking of him as a scorer, but I've already seen him utilize Gibson and Jimmy Butler Bucket Service. HIs vision, passing, and flow movement are invaluable to Rose. We have yet to do a couple things...

1) see our starting 4 plus SF.
2) Trade Dunleavy to open floor for Mirotic and McBuckets. Which will be a lateral move for the second half of season, but raises athleticism on the court. surprisingly.

Fuck, we should have just paid Butler.

And it should be obvious to all, that Rose playing normal minutes, as well as Butler on the floor, would have had a substantial impact on both ends of the floor on Halloween.

Dunleavy has been better than McDermott so far...Doug is still adjusting hes not ready to be a starter

i think its best we keep Dun for now unless we are getting a upgrade

I thought Minny looked pretty good last night. They were pretty active and played some tough defense at times imo. I wasn't real high on Wiggens like others, but he looked good for them as did Bennett. I actually think they won on the Love trade at this point. Good for them.
